This article is based on interviews with and participation observation of two public school teachers, who teach middle school art and high school history, who have initiated and organized the Earth Day Project in a local public park with their students since 2005. Using a grounded theory approach, the authors identified and investigated deeper and richer meanings of the Earth Day Project embodied in the environmental education and eco-aesthetic pedagogy of the two teachers. With guidance fromtheir teachers, students research environmental issues and coordinate and execute a series of art projects and environmental performances in order to celebrate Earth Day and to increase consciousness about environmental issues. Qualitative content analysis of collected data revealed that the teachers view the event as an interdisciplinary practice of art, history, and environmental education that emphasizes students’ hands-on experience, collaboration, empowerment, community building, and civic engagement. This article aims to promote this type of interdisciplinary, outdoor, and active project in educational practice.

소개
한국의 미술교육학계에는 과거 일본을 통해 왜곡되어 들어온 서양의 미술교육 이론이 정설로 자리잡힌 상태에서 서양의 새로운 미술교육 이론이 혼합되는 양상이 지속되고 있다. 그래서 효율적인 실제의 개발 또한 지극히 어려운 답보 상태에 머물러 있다. 따라서 미술교육의 학문적 발전을 이룩하기 위해서는 선진 세계의 이론을 정확하게 받아들여 이를 통해 한국의 실정에 맞게 변용해야 할 것이라는 판단하에 미술교육의 학문적 발전을 도모하기 위해 InSEA(International Society for Education through Art)의 한국지회를 설립하게되었다. InSEA는 UNESCO의 협력기구로 1954년 결성되어 현재 80여개국이 참여하고 있는 범세계적인 미술교육 단체로 미국 지회인 USSEA와 캐나다 지회인 CSEA를 두고 있다.
