This paper examined ecological elements and ecological educational meanings of traditional landscape painting with the purpose of illuminating relationship between education using traditional landscape painting with ecological education brought into relief in a situation with the global environment in danger. First, this study looked at relationship between anthropocentrism and ecocentrism and between human life, the Nature, and arts and explored relationship between humans and the Nature in traditional landscape painting. The Nature in traditional landscape painting encompasses mountains, water, and humans who enjoy them and contain sceneries where humans and the Nature harmonize with each other. After reading ecological elements through profound examination of traditional landscape painting, this study examined ecological educational meanings of traditional landscape paining with a main focus on suggestive points for today’s art education: 1) the importance of direct experiential learning on the Nature, 2) awareness of life and poetic sensitivity, 3) ecological identity through internal personality change, 4) expansion of life horizon through internal introspection of the Nature, and 5) embodiment of the purposes of ecological art education pursuing harmony between the Nature and humans.
