Abstract
The purpose of this article is to reveal the results of a volunteer guide training program that adopted the context of “regional” in an urban art project: Roppongi Art Night 2015. Some past art projects may have caused conflicts between the concepts of “artistic” and “regional”. In this study, we approach this problem by using the training techniques of art appreciation through discussion (AAD henceforth). AAD is not only the practice of art appreciation education, but also the practice of “relational art”, finding value in relationships. Through this training program, volunteer guides will come to know the “region” of Roppongi, learn the method of AAD, and aim to deepen their understanding of “(relational) art”.
