This study examined effects of a visual perception improvement program utilizing scribble technique-based art therapy on the development of first grade elementary students' visual perception. Out of 80 first graders at two elementary schools in Y-Gu, B city who received Korean Development Test of Visual Perception(K-DTVP-2), 64 students were selected to be participants with the students who scored 0 on any of the categories of the test excluded. The instruments for this study were K-DTVP-2 and the scribble technique. A total of 30 sessions were progressed for 3 months and each session took 150 minutes. The data were computed for a t-test for homogeneity test and a repeated measures analysis of variance for effects test. The findings of this study are as follows. The scribble therapy program made positive effects on the development of visual perception. GVP(general visual perception) including MRP(motor-reduced visual perception) and VMI(visual-movement incorporated) revealed significant differences between the groups and between the test times. The effect was found to continue in one month after the end of the program. Sub-categories of MRP such as Position in space, Figure-ground, Visual-closure, and Form-constancy revealed improvement. Sub-categories of VMI such as Eye-hand coordination, Spatial relations, Visual-motor speed revealed improvement as well. The subcategory of Copying did not show any significant difference. The above findings show that the therapy program using scribble technique proved effective in improving the visual perception of the first grade students.
