"Disconnection" and "Self-Understanding" of Collage : Analysis of an Interview on Creating Experiences of Collage

Abstract

The present paper is to show that art education is not only one of creation or appreciation but also fits self-understanding to find reasons for it, examining after-work interviews as texts in the series of "Creating Experience of Collage" survey. Producers of collage produce pieces by collecting and arranging disconnected parts through trial and error. When by telling their works, they creatively read the disconnected and make up a well-organized story from them, they understand meanings of recollections and expectations occurring to them and are led to finally understand themselves.
