환경교육에 기초한 미술교육의 가능성에 대한 고찰

초록

Recently, we have many difficult environmental problems for the future of the earth. And art educators have begun to pay more attention to the role of art education for solving current that problems. Art is a good media to evoke environmental consciousness. But at the same time it should be noticed that art is intrinsically a transformation of nature which may result in destruction of the natural environment. Without examining this ambivalent character of art and the interrelationship between art and the environment, an environmental educational approach to art education will remain very superficial. The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between art and the environment in terms of an ecological viewpoint and to present an ecological perspective to art education. The current various theories of ecolosism present important perspectives toward a lifestyle based on a symbiotic relationship with nature, although their theoretical paradigm should be carefully examined to avoid becoming dogmatic. When we think of environmental study, it is important to establish the viewpoints of environmental arts education. One is human's relationship to nature, and the second is the relationship of nature-objects-human ; the third is the relationship between total environments and human. This suggests that the recovery of the ecological linkage between art and nature will be an important role of art education in the face of our current environmental crisis. So we need to make many teaching materials for understand about our environments and practices for saving our earth.
