ELUCIDATION OF EDUCATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OF PAINTING APPRECIATION
Abstract
What kind of educational significance does the appreciation of paintings have? In order to answer this question, it is important to answer what and how visitors are learning in the painting appreciation. Neuroscientific research is important. However, while brain function mapping using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allows us to understand which part of the brain processes the specific stimulus of viewing a painting, what kind of stimulus is transformed to what kind of recognition cannot be answered. Therefore, in addition to measuring brain activity, we will attempt to comprehensively understand the aesthetic experience using a questionnaire method. The following points were clarified as a result of the investigation. 1. By measuring brain activity as activity in the left and right frontal lobes, we clarified that “dialogue'' may lead to more creative understanding possibilities than “alone'' or “explanation''. 2. We must also recognize the role of the experience and knowledge that the visitor has, as well as the newly added knowledge. 3. Explanary style facilitates the subject's understanding, but at the same time, it entails the risk of restricting the frame of recognition, so it is necessary to take more adequate intervention methods.
