Keywords:art education, educational effect
Although the process of art appreciation can be seen as one type of projection, there are little studies to examine the projection process. In this paper, we discuss how the projection process of art viewing promote viewers’ aesthetic experience by introducing a study on art education for art viewing. The examines how educational interventions concerning art viewing affect students’ behaviors in this regard and their evaluations of artworks. We focused on Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS), which is a typical intervention implemented in schools and museums and examined its educational effect by comparing it in this regard with another common intervention: lectures on art history. The results showed that the participants who were assigned to the VTS condition increased their length of time they spent viewing the art works, whereas the lecture interventions had no visible effect on any measurement.
