LLaVA-docent: Instruction tuning with multimodal large language model to support art appreciation education

Despite the development of various AI systems to support learning in various domains, AI assistance for art appreciation education has not been extensively explored. Art appreciation, often perceived as an unfamiliar and challenging endeavor for most students, can be more accessible with a generative AI enabled conversation partner that provides tailored questions and encourages the audience to deeply appreciate artwork. This study explores the application of multimodal large language models (MLLMs) in art appreciation education, with a focus on developing LLaVA-Docent, a model designed to serve as a personal tutor for art appreciation. Our approach involved design and development research, focusing on iterative enhancement to design and develop the application to produce a functional MLLM-enabled chatbot along with a data design framework for art appreciation education. To that end, we established a virtual dialogue dataset that was generated by GPT-4, which was instrumental in training our MLLM, LLaVA-Docent. The performance of LLaVA-Docent was evaluated by benchmarking it against alternative settings and revealed its distinct strengths and weaknesses. Our findings highlight the efficacy of the MMLM-based personalized art appreciation chatbot and demonstrate its applicability for a novel approach in which art appreciation is taught and experienced.

커뮤니카트 활성화를 통한 시 교육 방법

Objectives The purposes of this study, a method to compose ideal Kommunikat, that is, a cognitive construct that is the result of psychological representation of interpretation and appreciation of works, through integrative communication with the interpretive norms of the discourse community, while supporting the interpretive diversity attempted by students as readers, was considered. Methods For this purpose, First, attention was paid to the ‘perception of poetic elements’, which intentionally selects the subject of appreciation while facing the work and intends to focus on the emotion aroused by the work while examining whether it is significant for appreciation. Furthermore, this paper discussed the diversity of text interpretation and the individualization strategy at the reader's level at a practical level by proposing the ‘formation of a cognitive emotional construct’ as a concrete appreciation process that aims at the multiplicity of interpretation. Results In order to break away from the limitation that voluntary interpretation norms cannot be sought, and independent interpretation norms cannot be established because students follow the existing interpretive authority and appreciation method, this paper took notice of the concept of Kommunikat and presented the process and practical method to apply the concept of Kommunikat to poetry appreciation education. Conclusions This paper examined the efficiency of the method of establishing one's own norms of appreciation by checking and adjusting the reader's Kommunikat through the rumination of the appreciation process that aims at both spontaneity and assimilability at the same time.

Revolutionizing art education: Integrating AI and multimedia for enhanced appreciation teaching

Recent teaching trends are increasingly integrating diverse multimedia and computer-aided practices to enhance representation and understanding. Leveraging data-focused strategies, these methods are further refined with artificial intelligence and decision-making techniques. To improve data handling in multimedia-based teaching representation, this article introduces an integrated data representation model aided by regression learning (IDR-RL). The proposed model satisfies the data required for different teaching methods/ subjects based on curriculum and student requirements. The data integration from different sources is performed using checksum assessment. The checksum assessment for data provides precise assimilation and content-related data-to-visual representation. In this representation, the checksums are verified for their linearity, wherein the saturation/ threshold factors are identified, and data integration is recommended. This recommendation is performed as the decision-making for preventing paused representation in live teaching sessions. The checksums are used for content coherency and complete data representations to prevent time lags in teaching. The proposed model’s performance is verified through data handling rate, integration ratio, pause time, representation time lag, and failures.

기악곡의 감상 교육에서 서사의 활용 - 베토벤의 “운명” 교향곡을 중심으로 -

Instrumental music is not easy to deal with the appreciation education because the musical content is highly abstract. Moreover, since the phrase "appreciate music" is often used in schools, there is a tendency to immediately encounter difficult instrumental music as objects of appreciation rather than objects of listening. This study highlights the terminological relation between appreciation and listening and suggests that teachers make use of narrative materials which enable to show the musical structure of the piece. As exemplified in Beethoven's "Fate" Symphony, the value of the work can be appreciated by examining the entire flow of the piece. In order to lead listeners to musical imagnation, there are already some narrative materials in visual forms for this piece, but pictures tend to hinder students from chasing musical expression. Therefore, the researcher instantiates how to develop narrative materials in wording. This approach enhances cohesiveness of listening to music and contributes to conducting comprehensive appreciation of understanding, enjoying, and evaluating.

현대시 교육에서 감각적 체험의 활성화 전략 연구

This article was written to provide an opportunity to renew the meaning of images in literary education. To this end first, we developed the contents of appreciation activities in which learners learn the principles of sensory experience by using conversation. Second, I created an appreciation activity to learn how to deal with images in poetry. Modern poetry appreciation education as an activity dealing with images means the principle of independent appreciation of works. This study examined the relationship between the senses and the image and designated the image as a place where the sensory experience of modern poetry takes place. By learning the conditions under which images are created and how they are handled, learners can more actively immerse themselves in the special sensory experiences that the poem embodies. It will also be meaningful as a study to develop an interdisciplinary convergence program and examine its effectiveness.

Design of a MobilNetV2-Based Retrieval System for Traditional Cultural Artworks

Aiming at the problem that it is difficult for art teachers to take into account each student in the art appreciation education in colleges and universities, this paper proposes a retrieval system for traditional cultural works of art. Dense connections are used to replace residual connections between bottlenecks in MobileNetV2 network and gradient transmission in the network. The dilution factor is used to control the size of the network to solve the problem of the rapid increase in the number of network channels. In addition, the non-local attention mechanism is effectively combined with the improved MobileNetV2 network structure, which effectively improves the classification accuracy of the network. Compared with VGG16, ResNet18, and ResNet34, the classification accuracy is increased by 21.3%, 9.2%, and 3%, respectively. The method in this paper has achieved good results in the classification of art works. According to the images of art works to be appreciated, it helps students understand the relevant cultural knowledge independently and reduce the burden of teachers.
