本研究是以在臺灣可見的1930-1980年間之美術教育文獻的為基礎，追究其中一條相對明顯的線索，即「自由畫」美術教育及相關思想在臺灣的發展。本文的目的，是要藉著探討「自由畫」美術教育思想，於1945年前後各15年間，即1930-1960的30年間，在大陸與臺灣美術教育界的發展狀況，以了解戰後臺灣美術教育啟動時想，在戰後明確影響臺灣美術教育界，而且此傳入現象與臺灣美術教育思想之接續發展，密切相關，具有承先啟後的意義。

Using visual art literature published from 1930 through 1980, the present research traced a prominent trend of thought that had to do with an art education idea called “Free Drawing”. The purpose of such review was to examine the genecology between the thoughts of art education in mainland China and Taiwan from 1930 to 1960. It was found that the “Free Drawing” approach of art education had consistently gathered momentum through the war years and survived the migration from the mainland China to Taiwan. In addition, it played a significant role in ushering in the later development of Taiwanese art education.
