Educational Function of Computer Graphics as Expressional Activity

在今天的艺术教育中，计算机图形学似乎并没有被有效地用作表现材料。利用计算机图形表达的教育价值仍不明确，使用计算机的艺术教育和使用图形的计算机教育在许多情况下被混淆。这是因为儿童计算机图形的特点还没有得到适当的欣赏，与成年人相比，儿童更能认识到CG表达的特点不同于通常的艺术表达。你可以把制作3D动画作为一种合适的艺术教育科目，以获得这样的孩子的认可。虽然你可以看到很多2DCG，包括制作动画，但你在艺术教育中很少看到3DCG。然而，制作原创3D动画的教育效果，比如媒介素养的可能性，往往被指出。在本研究中，我通过分析制作3D动画的过程和制作它的大学生和高中生的印象，指出了将3D动画作为教育主题的可能性和问题。

It is seemed that computer graphics are not used effectively as expressional material in art education today. The educational merit of expression using computer graphics is still not clear, and the art education which uses computers and the computer education which uses graphics are confused in many cases. This is because the character of children's computer graphics has not been appreciated suitably.Compared to adults, children are more able to recognize that the character of CG expression is different from usual art expression. You can see making 3D animation as a suitable subject of art education for such children's recognition. Though you can see a lot of 2DCG, which include producing animation, you can see few 3DCG in art education. However, the educational effects of making original 3D animation, such as the possibility of media literacy, are often pointed out.In this research, I pointed out possibilities and problems of making 3D animation as an educational subject by analyzing the processes of making it and impressions from the university and high school students who make it.
