Abstract
|

|
|
This study was conducted to examine the symbolic cases of Korean traditional patterns as therapeutic meaning and explore the possibility to be applied to art therapy. This study was designed to present its availability in the field of art therapy programs by discovering the necessity of research itself, the theoretical study of traditional patterns, the traditional patterns as symbolic meaning, and the value of traditional patterns. Understanding the traditional patterns of Korea can be not only to learn the knowledge of patterns, but also to recognize how our ancestors tried to reflect the value and wishes of their lives on all objects around themselves. It is also possible to discover the meaning of archetypal symbolism that expresses the collective wishes of a group by understanding the traditional patterns. The purpose of traditional patterns is based on the fundamental desires of our ancestors, not on a simple function for decoration. Also, looking for the materials that matched the origins of various wishes of individuals or groups and applying symbolic meaning to them, they tried to believe in homeopathic rituals that ‘Similar things give birth to similar things,’ or that ‘Results and causes are similar.’ This study tried to prove that traditional patterns not only reflect profound mental activities but also have theoretical power on the origins of human wishes by understanding the traditional patterns of various animals. Based on the meanings that these traditional patterns have, it is hoped that the practical values of traditional patterns can be enhanced in the field of art therapy programs in near future.
