낙서화 감상활동을 통한 시각적 문해력 신장 방안

Abstract

Graffiti Art have the fun and healing qualities of graffiti, as well as the ability to communicate with the audience by implicitly expressing ideas about society or one's identity in an open place through visual symbols. In order to improve visual literacy through graffiti art appreciation, this study was conducted on 28 sixth-grade B classes (13 males and 15 females) at ○○ Elementary School in Seoul. The visual literacy that is intended to be enhanced through graffiti appreciation classes is the visual communication ability combined with the understanding ability to interpret and judge images as major learning competencies targeted by art education in the modern age, where visual culture is expanded, and the ability to use and apply images to create visual objects. For the appreciation class, the expressive, symbolic, and content characteristics of the major graffiti artists and the characteristics of each artist’s works were given a suitable appreciation perspective by each artist. The components of visual literacy were also extracted and significant results were derived using them as the basis for the analysis of results. This study identified positive changes in the tendency and attitude associated with visual literacy, as well as the learner's visual perception, critical reading, and visual presentation capabilities. This shows that graffiti painting appreciation activities have a significant effect on the enhancement of visual literacy.
