The purpose of this study is to identify the emotional changes and educational effects that middle school students can gain from 'body painting' classes. Aiming at improving the quality of our life and pursuing harmony, a Fine Art curriculum is the one form of the arts which helps to develop our thoughts and emotions through visual expressions. "Body painting' is the one kind of 'body art', which has been originated from Dadaism and Concept-art in the early 20th century. By the end of the 20th century, the changes in values duo to postmodernism-cultural pluralism, compromise, the uncertainty-an unlimited influence on expression in art. Moreover, some contemporary artists tried to learn about vital energy through 'back-to-the origin', which gave rise to creative inspiration and motivation to them. Therefore in this study, I considered 'body art' first, analyzed the motive of 'body painting' according to diverse opinions, and systemized its purpose. Besides, through the consideration of its origin, I tried to understand it's cultural heritance and to learn more about its and aesthetic. educational value in modern society. Noticing students' familiarity with it through out the 2002' World Cup, I applied it to the class and studied students' emotional changes. Because "body painting", a special way of Art Education, is done on the human body, and not on canvas or paper, I think it can attract students, even those who aren't confident about art. Moreover, from "body painting" education, students are expected to be change from individual to social one. Especially for the visual-liking students, Art Education can have a positive influence on emotional development and human nature, which are the goals of the 7th National Art Curriculum.
