Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of contemporary art-based integrated art activities on young children's creative art expression ability and emotional creativity.
 Methods For this purpose, 47 kindergartens aged 5 years were selected and conducted for a total of 12 weeks. The experimental group performed integrated art activities based on contemporary art appreciation, and the comparative group performed art, music, and physical expression activities related to the theme. Before and after the experiment, creative art expression ability and emotional creativity test were conducted, and covariance analysis (ANCOVA) and independent sample T-test were conducted to analyze the data.
 Results Integrated art activities based on contemporary art appreciation had a positive effect on children's overall creative art expression and sub-areas such as expression attitude, expression ability, and aesthetic attitude. In addition, there was a positive effect on the whole emotional creativity and the sub-areas of frankness, efficiency, and novelty, but no significant effect on readiness.
 Conclusions This study is significant in that it showed the possibility of using contemporary art by expanding the scope of existing masterpieces in art appreciation education for young children, and suggested the importance and necessity of integrated art education for young children.
