With images replacing written text, art education needs to incorporate suitable teaching approaches to reinforce students' image appreciation, and help them to better understand the images they are exposed to in daily life. However, the art appreciation teaching approaches currently in use often fail to make lasting impressions on students, who can only passively accept the specialists' ideas. This researcher examined the teaching approaches of Darras and others in order to develop a multi-dimensional image-appreciation teaching approach for application in university-level teacher-student interactions and extracurricular professional interviews, and came to better understand the implementation outcomes. This study, which conducted an action research methodology, was undertaken as part of the "art appreciation" course for freshmen at a private university for two consecutive years, while the course lasted for eight weeks each year. The results showed that by using a teaching approach based on synthesizing the multi-dimensional image-appreciation learning methods already established by various scholars, students can gain the ability to analyze art works using specialist techniques, comparing different perspectives, reflecting on the meanings and learning from different subjects. After the first session was completed a different approach was adopted, utilizing life-education-related topics in order to take part in the course design, including incorporating comics into the teaching material, utilizing social media such as Facebook, incorporating the questions raised by the students themselves and developing these questions into investigations. Prior to the application of this teaching approach, students were incapable of appreciating artworks on their own; however, after this teaching approach was applied, questionnaire results showed that the course had enhanced the students' image-appreciation abilities as well their abilities to compare and reflect, etc. The topics on life education furthermore enabled the students to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, to show greater compassion toward others and the environment, and to attain a clearer understanding of the meaning of life. Qualitative data also showed that, aside from their enhanced autonomous capacities for appreciation, the students' abilities to observe, analyze, ponder and question had improved, and that they had learned to observe from different perspectives, thus becoming inspired by new and different ideas. |
