A Study on the Development of Art Education by means of Constructive Method

Abstract

Art education is divided into two types, an expression and an appreciation, in the province of contents of education. Activities of expression involves the fields of Formative Plays, Painting, Printing, Sculpture, Construction, Design, Handicraft. We can suppose the constructive method as one of activities of expression common to these fields. In this paper, I extracted the existence of constructive method from a relationship between a plastic art and art, and from the current of times of an art education by plastic art, and considered it. Moreover I expressed how to deal with the elements of art and design and a visual language. By means of them, I made clear the connection between two fields, expression and appreciation, and I attempted to unify these fields by the constructive method, on the basis of the traditional way of thinking that we understand the fields of expression and appreciation on an equal level. Consequently I proposed the systematicism of visual education and appreciation and comprehension by visual communication as the development of art education.
