Abstract

The application of cultural resources of Korean tradition to contemporary design development has been made to achieve the modernization and industralization of traditional art crafts. Most of countries in the recent world have attempted to develop unique cultural products based on their own tradition and culture. In fact , the industralization of traditional culture is found to be an important factor to enhance one country's national image as well as the nation's economy. Australia has been successful to develop and distribute cultural products of its Aboriginal art in its domestic market and world market. The Aboriginal art has a long history of paintings with the natural material such as rock, sound, wood bark, and animal leather. However, the Aboriginal artists applied modern painting material and techniques to their traditional paintings in about 30 years ago. These applications were very successful in obtaining general public's attention and positive responses and in turn, the purchase of the Aboriginal paintings and artifacts. The Aboriginal culture products became the most important nation's image products while gaining world-wide appraisal and acceptance. The success of Aboriginal art mass production has led to rebuild regional tribal communities consisting of community meeting center, art craft center, and education and art experience center. this resulted in the improvement of Aboriginal Society and economic prosperity. This research showed a concrete benchmark for traditional art assistance program. Korean government and regional governments are suggested to utility the excellent path of Aboriginal art promotion program for the traditional art and craft industry.
