The students considered what it means to study Japanese art through shared experience, lectures, productions, and presentations. Students from Chiba University transformed themselves into Japanese artists when making presentations while expressing themselves in English and presenting visual materials. The use of ICT as a part of teacher training, along with exchange depending on the topic of the study of art from various backgrounds, is believed to contribute to training the cultural capabilities that are now required in teachers.

日本美術を学ぶということはどういうことなのか、という点を経験の共有、レクチャー、制作や発表を通して考えてもらった。千葉大学の学生は、自分は日本のアーティストになりきって発表するなど、視覚資料を示しつつ英語での表現に楽しみながらチャレンジすることができた。教師教育の一部としてICTを活用し、異なる背景を持ったものが美術の学びをテーマに交流することは、近年、教師に求められる文化的な資質能力の育成に貢献すると考えられる。
