예술교육을 통한 창의·인성교육

Creativity and Character Education Through Arts Education

예술교육을 통해서 창의·인성교육을 함양할 수 있는가? 본 연구에서는 미적 체험에 대한 이론적 논의와 사례연구를 통해서 창의·인성교육에 대한 시사점을 도출하여 예술교육의 가치와 중요성을 밝혀내는데 그 목적이 있다. 최근 정부에서부터 교육현장에 이르기까지 활발하게 논의되고 있는 창의성교육과 인성교육은 각각 독자적으로 존재하는 것이 아니라, 유기적으로 결합된 영역이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내에서 논의되고 있는 창의·인성교육을 링컨센터 교육원의 미적체험교육과 관련하여 논의하면서, 상상력교육을 위한 역량 함양에 관해 특별히 조명하고자 한다. 링컨센터 교육원에서 실습하고 있는 일상과 삶을 통한 미적체험교육, 통합교육 프로그램, 학교현장에서 예술교육, 파트너십을 통한 지역사회 미술교육에 대한 논의를 통해서 국내 창의·인성교육의 시사점을 도출하고자 한다. 미적체험을 통한 창의·인성교육은 예술교육 기반창의·인성교육에 대한 새로운 패러다임과 교수-학습 방법을 제공하고, 청소년의 창의성과 예술교육의 체험 부족으로 야기되는 인성문제를 해결하는데 기여 할 수 있다.

Is it possible to realize creativity and character education through arts education? This study examines the value and importance of art education through a discussion on theories and case studies of aesthetic experience. It asks the question of what the implications of aesthetic experience in arts education can be by examining of cases and theories of arts-based creativity and character education. Discussion on ‘creativity education’ and ‘character education’ has stirred up some controversy. However, this paper maintains that creativity education and character education do not exist separately,but are integrated organically. This study investigates creativity and character education, which is currently a popular topic of discussion in Korea, in relation to the capacities for learning programs and aesthetic experience education in the Lincoln Center Institute in the United States. Finally, this study concludes with the implications of aesthetic experience in arts education as serving as creativity and character education, focusing on daily life, an integrated education program, aesthetic experience in the school environment, and community-based art education through partnerships. Therefore, creativity and character education through aesthetic experience provides a new paradigm and teaching and learning methods for arts-based creativity and character education. Additionally, this study maintains that aesthetic experience in arts education can contribute to enhance adolescents’creativity and solve the problem of adolescents’ character which arises from a lack of aesthetic experience in their daily lives.
