Today, there are many examples that common languages for everyone in the world to understand easily and communicate are created as a visual image in a globalization and information age. A sign as such image hacked more deeply into a life of the modern people through media such as TV, Internet, and smartphone in modern society, so an ability to understand the sign is more necessary to the modern people. Therefore, the researcher studied a method to improve a learners’ ability to understand, appreciate, and express an image and a work of art in daily life that can be accessed through all sorts of media, and to instruct a conversation class using a sign to use it in a real education field. If results of the study are summarized, it is as follows. First, this study considered characteristics of 3 sign types such as icon, index, and symbol of Peirce becoming a theoretical background of the study. This study applied each characteristic of these sign types to an image and a work of art in daily life for a method to instruct a conversation class effectively, and suggested a systematic and phased method to instruct a class to reflect such characteristics in works of learners. Second, the study suggested a basic direction of the method to instruct a conversation class using a sign. This study suggested a basic direction of purpose of the study based on the theoretical background studied in advance, and wrote a guidance plan of a class including an introduction of the sign types. Third, based on an advanced theoretical study, the study devised a guidance plan of a conversation class with a sign in a real education field. This study developed a method to instruct an individual production art class and another method to instruct a joint production art class based on a study for the concept of sign and the trend of modern semiotics. The study is to make learners read a meaning of an image and a work of art in daily life and then express systematically by using a sign in an art activity. When an art education is systematically progressed with meaning by using a sign, this education will be a subject to enrich students’ thinking. This study hopes that increasing connectivity between art and life will derive not only motivation for students but also active participation of a class through such process.
