초록

만다라 미술은 정서나 심리 등 인간의 내면 세계를 구제화하는 방법으로서, 이 연구는 만다라 기법을 이용한 미술활동 경험이 특수학급에 입급된 경도 정신지체아동의 미술 및 언어적 자기표현 능력에 어떠한 변화를 일으키는가를 알아보는 사례연구이다. 연구의 대강은 초등학교 특수학급에 재학 중인 생활연령 11세의 남자아동으로 12회기에 걸쳐 만다라 미술활동프로그램을 경험하게 하여 회기별로 미술적 자기표현과 언어적 자기표현 내용을 질적으로 분석하여 기술하였다. 연구 결과, 만다라를 통한 미술활동은 특수학급에 입급된 정신지체 아동의 미술적 자기표현능력과 언어적 자기표현능력의 변화에 모두 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다.

This study refers to a case study, which aims to determine how the artistic activities using manda1a(Buddha's picture) may have potential influences on self-expression of mentally retarded children.
This study involved mentally retarded child who was assigned to special class over 4 months, and also asked him to do his personal artistic activities for 30 minutes or more per session over total 12 sessions.
Under the non-structural environment, he was allowed to help himself to carry on mandala works without any other discipline in order to observe a series of his work flows and any corresponding change. Moreover, any changes in his artistic and verbal self-expression were also investigated. Summing up, the conclusion of this study can be outlined as follows:
First, self-expression using mandala gave good opportunities to motivate this child to express his own psychology and mental conditions. In turn, these opportunities brought some qualitative and quantitative change of his skills in coloring, shaping and picture composition, which could have affirmative impact on his own artistic self-expression.
Secondly, while performing artistic activities using mandala, this child gained voluntary communication ability and even the ability to give reasonable answers to given questions, which implies a quantitative and qualitative change in verbal self-expression ability.
This conclusion is meaningful in demonstrating that artistic activities using mandala may have positive effects on the individuals who lack voluntary will and verbal/non-verbal self-expression.
