Abstract
The purpose of this study is to reconsider arts as an interactive process arising between human and materials. In order to investigate this process, the concept of textility, which was proposed by Tim Ingold, is applied. Ingold's ideas, which are rooted in various sources, was firstly explored. Roland Barthes's art criticism was secondly revealed in order to clarify the creativity produced merely by seeing a work of art as a process. Hiraku Suzuki's art practice featuring drawing to follow various lines found in the environment with his body was thirdly analyzed. As a result, the following suggestions are put forth: Art education should be practiced based on seeing, feeling and inquiring of what a material itself is, and any materials should not to be seen as an object, in order to eliminate the dichotomy between arts and our daily lives.
