로웬펠드의 아동화 연구와 그 구조에 관한 고찰 = The Structure and Content of Lowenfeld,s Approach to Child

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Nowadays, when we inquire into the present state and future possibilities of art education studies, we should not overlook the role V. Lowenfeld (1903-1960) played. He 1. studied the differences among individuals in children's creative activities, 2. established a principle of elementary art education for teachers, 3. outlined the six developmental stages of creative and mental activity, 4. made efforts to systematize art education in schools, and 5. established the foundation for research in art education, influencing many future studies. The characteristics of his theory are found mainly in his views on "child drawing". An analysis of these opinions helps us to interpret and solve many problems in art education studies. When we examine Lowenfeld's views on child drawing, we should concentrate on. The Nature of Creative Activity (Vienna 1938) Creative and Mental Growth(U.S. 1947), and Your Child and his Art (U.S. 1954). By analyzing these three books, we can see how Lowenfeld's views on child drawing are structured using three systems based on creative and mental development, differences among individuals, and the creative process used in activities. Furthermore, he outlined an approach for understanding youth culture and suggested links between children's development and their art appreciation abilities. However, we should not apply his theories concerning child drawing to all children's creative activities. In other words it is necessary to examine critically, from many perspectives, the views on child drawing that Lowenfeld established. The belief that "individual growth repeats after a systematic growth", is convenient for developmental theory and comparative art theory concerning child drawing. However it is not inevitable that children's creative thinking develops following such a pattern. Secondly, the concept of 'child drawing' dose not mean all the drawings that children produce. It is dependent on an assumption that child drawing develops according to fixed developmental stages. In addition, it is based on studies within a group taken in isolation from its cultural surroundings. Many questions are being raised about concepts as 'child drawing' within other fields. It is necessary for us to give attention to the child in its social context and to understand 'child drawing' relative to the whole of the child's As a result, we can develop Lowenfeld's views on child drawing by relating the dynamic features of 'child drawing' to its social, historical and cultural background.
