자연에 대한 감성을 깨우는 미술- 자연미술 작가참여 프로젝트 사례 연구 -

Abstract

Increasing environmental awareness fosters reflective thinking and participation in environmental movement. On the other hand, there is a movement that requires us to redefine our human-centered worldview. Because human-centered worldview rationalized reckless development and destruction of natural environment by instrumentalizing nature, it would be more urgent and fundamental to recover our relationship with nature in this environmental crisis. Regarding this, in art education, many researches have been done. Especially the educational programs which stimulates the interaction between students and nature have been developed but those activities were limited and repetitive. Therefore, in this study, I studied the case of the nature art education project collaborated with a nature artist based on understanding of nature art and discussing its educational values. Nature is an art genre using natural resources, based on interrelationship between human and nature, and leading us to introspect the relationship with nature. This experience can help students to recover the relationship with nature and futhermore assimilate themselves with nature. After the project, in this study, students not only got more interested in natural environment and environmental problems but also their attitudes and behaviors towards nature have been changed. In order to expand the positive effects of nature art project, the project should be planned on a long timeline and each subject should be closely connected. Collaboration with artists diversifies the projects but the roles of artists can be defined differently depending on education environment and teachers' capabilities and attitudes.
