ART AND DRAMA EDUCATION ON THE AXIS OF IMAGE

Abstract

In fact, all kinds of information we have acquired regarding the five senses have a personal reflection in our minds: The events we experience, the books we read, the people we meet, the image we touch, taste, smell, everything we hear is the reflection of the sound in our mind-consciousness; It is the building block of artistic expression. Images that make our emotions speak freely in art education make our dream world and world of thought creative and enrich. Everything that is the subject of our dreams also becomes the subject of art. Art makes the reader-art-receiver feel those emotions-thoughts by shaping our emotions and thoughts in a visual order. Drama is a total art discipline that is based on the acting techniques of theater -role playing, improvisation, etc.- performed and structured with body language animations: It first activates our senses, sensations, imaginations and then our thoughts in order to make art with the five senses. It consists of interdisciplinary arts and arts education; group interactive works on the development of the power of imagination by interacting emotionally with people over the dramatic, enhancing the experiences of the participants. Drama consists of interactive play processes that are constructed by arranging our emotions and thoughts within limited freedoms, enabling the participants to learn and socialize while entertaining them, and provide life experiences. However, the game provides not only emotional treatment, but also imaginative thinking, creative imagination, learning through interaction, and the participants acquire new learnings by developing cognitive-affective-motor behaviors. Drama education master's and doctorate programs have been carried out in conuntry’s higher education for 21 years; this art discipline is becoming widespread in education and training with postgraduate scientific studies.

In this article, on the axis of image, art education and drama education are emphasized; The subject of why art education based on the discipline of drama is necessary is explained by examining the image.
