Development of Interior Spatial Color Education Program Based on Interactive Relationship

Color education in art and design departments at Korean universities has long been formal and theoretical, lacking a balance with the traditional form-focused approach. Most color courses at domestic universities focus on theory, rather than experiential learning that addresses the inherent characteristics of color. Based on this background, this study aims to develop a color education program based on the interactive relationships between color, materials, and light in an interior space. The study are divided into four stages. The first stage involves literature collection and analysis of color education curriculum. The second stage involves a survey. The third stage involves drafting a color education program based on the previously survey results. The fourth stage aims to finalize the development of an color education program. The results of this study are as follows. First, This study has developed an interior space color education program that integrates elements such as color, light, material, and space, breaking away from the color-centered educational method of the past. Second, the spatial color education program has divided into basic and advanced courses and consists of eight chapters. The basic course (chapters 1-5) is designed to explore the relationships between color, light, material and space through experiential learning and a color-formative perspective. The advanced course (chapters 6-8) builds on the fundamentals of color and formative thinking learned in the basic course to cover standard color systems, lighting, and material color. I hope that the results of this study will be utilized as educational materials for university lecturers in the future.
