Development of Learning Programs for Appreciation of Asian Art Culture in School Education

2001年，我们开始了三个阶段的研究：1)东南亚艺术文化的原始资料分析，2)韩国艺术文化的实地调查，3)艺术欣赏教育和学习材料的现状研究。2002年，我们的研究分为三个阶段：1)规划学习节目的基本内容；2)韩国媒体艺术实地调查；3)学习节目原型的开发和试验。通过这些研究，我们揭示了亚洲艺术文化在学校教育中作为艺术欣赏学习课程的可能性。确切地说，亚洲的“艺术”概念是在西方化和现代化的过程中从欧洲带来的。然而，亚洲艺术不仅包括西方和现代艺术，还包括手工艺品、传统作品、遗产、宗教材料、流行文化、卡通、动画和各种视觉表达。这种艺术文化的多样性给我们带来了理解亚洲文化关系的新视角。总之，我们开发了一些亚洲艺术欣赏学习计划的原型。选题有佛像、水墨画、东南亚蜡染、韩国动漫等。一些项目（佛像、水墨画）在大学生课堂上进行了测试，我们成功地从学生的反应中证实了它的有效性。

In 2001, we took up our research from the three phases are 1) Analysis of source materials about art culture in Southeast Asia, 2) Field research on Korean Art Culture, 3) Research on the present situation of education for art appreciation and learning materials.In 2002, we proceeded with the research form the three phases are 1) Planning of the fundamental contents for the learning programs, 2) Field research on Korean media art, 3) Development and trial of the prototypes of learning programs.Through theses research, we revealed the possibilities of Asian art culture as learning programs for art appreciation in school education. Exactly, the concept of 'art' in Asia was brought from Europe in the progress of westernizing and modernizing. However, Asian art includes not only western and modern arts but also crafts, traditional works, heritages, religious materials, pop culture, cartoon, animation and various of visual expression. Such diversity of art culture brings us the new point of view to understand the relation of Asian culture.In conclusion, we developed some prototypes of learning programs for appreciation of Asian art. Selected topics were the statues of Buddha, Ink paintings, batik in southeast Asia, Manga and Anime in Korea and so on. Some programs (the statues of Buddha, Ink-paintings) were tested in university student class, and we succeed to confirm its effectiveness from students' response.
