시각장애학교 미술작품 전시에 대한 교사의 인식 및 실태

Abstract

The purpose of this study is　to develop effective ways to encourage artwork exhibitions in schools for the visually impaired through research in teachers’ awareness and actual condition over the matter. Following are the results from questionnaires answered by art teachers’ attending nationwide schools for the visually impaired. First, teachers believed that artwork exhibitions are highly needed for their educational goals, and answered that students not only like to take part in exhibitions but they can also improve artistic expressions through it. Secondly, about actual conditions, schools mainly had no sufficient space for exhibitions. Thus lack of space, facilities and tools adversely affected exhibitions. Most schools were just holding intramural exhibitions to show artwork during regular classes or for school art events. They were often displayed at art museum, community cultural center, school’s main hall or stairways. Thirdly, about favorite date and period for exhibition, teachers preferred to hold it once a year for one to two weeks. For subject of display, they usually wanted to exhibit plastic arts while choosing the date as the most profoundly considerable factor when planning an exhibition. They said usually teacher and student discussions help decide which item to exhibit and the artistic maturity of the work comes first for the decision.
