In the current age of industrialization, the youth are forced to face lots of problems due to loss of humanity and do-humanization. Specifically, the juvenile problems can be defined as the cultural deficiency. These are serious problems to the youth who are sensitive and have strong desires.
However, there aren't many cultural areas if which the youth can form their own culture and acquire the cultural knowledge. If art museums work as a field of art and cultural exchange and support the young, they can help their proper growth through art and culture.
The education of art museums has a great meaning in that it complements the school education and provides balanced opportunities of art education. However, there are few art education programs provided for the young in art museums in Korea.
This study aimed to present improvement plans to promote further development of the educational programs provided in art museums. For the purpose, it examined and analysed the present condition of art education for the young and its programs provided in art galleries and museums. Based on the study, the results were as follows:
First, a focus should be given on nurturing of museum professionals to lead art museums to be a field of learning through experiences.
Second, for activation of education provided through art museums, a general curriculum through which art class at school is complementarily adjusted should be presented.
Third, for effective education provided through art museums, the museums should be equipped with advanced audio-vidual instruments and teaching aids.
Forth, art museums should provide a variety of learning programs through experiences such as participation in music concerts, seminars and movie watching for the young. Through the programs, the young become familiar with the museums.
Fifth, art museum educational programs to use regional cultural areas should be developed.
Sixth, to keep up with the trend of the age of information and communication, art museum home pages should be presented on-line. They are able to attract great attention from the young.
To sum up, art museum education should be linked with school education through development of a variety of educational programs and presentation of effective teaching methods and educational models. Therefore, the young will be familar with and feel emotionally stable if the education.
For active art museum education, educational staff in museums and schools should cooperate each other to prepare educational programs linked with school curriculum, and art teachers should acquire new knowledge and information for education, and put their best efforts to develop effective teaching methods.
