Abstract

Today, the phenomenon of disciplinary convergence has been established as the current trends, and itcrosses over between the border lines of other academic disciplines. Therefore, liberal arts education, whichenables students to be exposed to various disciplines, seems more important than ever. The liberal artseducation is especially important because it is one process of providing students with an opportunity to livean autonomous and creative life through convergence study, after freeing them from cramming and fiercecompetition up to their high school years. Nevertheless, the students, thrown into employment competition,neglect the liberal arts education, for the sake of their major studies, because it does not directly lead to theiremployment. Or, in many cases, the liberal arts become degraded into mere formal courses, only for thepurpose of acquiring credits. The fine arts class as liberal arts mostly consists of theoretical class, focusing onacquiring knowledge, such as lecture listening and note-taking. Thus, the course does not attract the interestof students, and becomes a mere formal class. Accordingly, this study intends to offer the students anopportunity of creative experience and to enrich their aesthetic sensitivity by maximizing their interest in theclass through a new process of direct transformation and creation of masterpiece painting. This study wasconducted for two semesters, from Sep. 2013 to Jun. 2014 and targeted to 102 students in the fine arts classas liberal arts at H University. As a result, the process has improved their understanding of artworkthemselves and brought positive effects, such as growing interests in the class and active participation, etc. Inthe future, it is projected that various teaching methods of liberal arts education need to be studied.
