As the 2007 National Art Curriculum is introduced, the project for the art
textbooks' edition makes rapid progress. The purposes of this study are to
comprehend the issues of the new National Art Curriculum as comparing with the
precedent, and to analyze the problems awaiting to be solved in the writing for
new art textbooks, on considering the discussions for improvement in the
precedent. The problems are examined and classified into four classes such as the
interior system and exterior design of the textbooks, the assistant system and the
textbook screening system.
In the first place, the structures of the contents of three different domainsaesthetic
experience, expression, and appreciation- are examined in the interior
system of text books. It needs to develop the text books which are able to give
the symmetrical guide to the intra-disciplinary integration and interdisciplinary
integration of the contents construction. Although chromaticity and the quality of
paper are not improved in exterior design point of view, the textbooks should be
transformed to new image by reducing the editing errors and adding more
reference figures, and giving autonomy in editing. In assistant system, the teacher's
guidebooks which can present the various useful information and introduce course
development are developed in alliance with the digital textbook exploiting. Relate
to the textbook screening system, the pertinent selection by the authorization
committee members and their closer judgement remains as problems.
