Abstract
For building art pedagogy with a gift exchange system, the author addresses three issues; a basic chart of the gift-exchange cycle, the structure of the reference source, and a gift-exchange chart among the art learners. The basic chart is revised by adding the element of an “aesthetic idea.” The output process structure is more appropriate to this thesis than the area structure elements roots or input process one, so the structure is elucidated by using the concepts of operational memory and long-term memory in cognitive science. The art education process is constructed with a triple gift- exchange cycle; a vertical gift exchange in the reference process, a virtual gift exchange in the execution operational memory range and an exchange over their whole art education process. The other learner existence needed itself before a specific exchange like “discussion.” Then the author composed charts of exchanges between the learners or in a learning group.
