전통그림 읽기를 통한 감상지도 모색

Abstract

Although paintings are painted under the name of Korean paintings, it's difficult to find the Samjeol ideology, which is usually reflected in traditional paintings, and the spirit to present symbolism with nature in them. Today's reality is that the materials of traditional paintings are used to paint from the Western perspectives. It's time to search for the ways to shed new light onto traditional art, bring life to it, and accept and recreate it as cultures of no nationality are created. In traditional paintings, natural objects, which are present in reality, are not depicted exactly as they are but represent the painter's thoughts and emotions as symbols. By reading and interpreting such symbolism, we can understand the culture of our ancestors. There are several ways to instruct the students about how to read traditional paintings, and they include reading based on the social and cultural backgrounds of the paintings, reading based on allegories, reading in the principle of homonyms, reading in relation with famous lines from classical works, and reading in relation with anecdotes. Being accustomed to the Western culture and unfamiliar with the traditional one, the young generations should learn to read traditional paintings so that they can understand, inherit, and develop the originality and excellence of our art culture and use it as the foundation for creating a new culture.
