This essay traces the origin and the social function of medieval knights in Edwin Austin Abbey's murals ${\ll}$The Quest of the Holy Grail${\gg}$ in the Boston Public Library. Medieval knights in the Arthurian legend appeared in American novels at the end of 1850s and in political cartoons in the 1870s. They are featured in American Renaissance murals as well. ${\ll}$The Quest of the Holy Grail${\gg}$ painted in 1895 was the first of its kind. In Britain, the Pre-Raphaelites frequently painted medieval knights. Abbey fused the visual idiom of the Pre-Raphaelites and that of the Royal Academy of Arts in his depiction of knights. Unlike the Pre-Raphaelites, who usually focused on knights' activities, he emphasized their virtue. His representation of knights reflect the social and economic crises in America in the 1890s. After the Civil War, American society enjoyed economic prosperity but suffered from government corruption, economic inequality, and class conflict. Serious social problems such as poverty and inequality decayed American society. Writers and artists brought attention to these issues. This essay argues that Abbey criticized capitalists and expressed his hope for progress through the figure of Galahad as the iconic representation of civic virtue in ${\ll}$The Quest of the Holy Grail${\gg}$. Installed in the Boston Public Library, Abbey's murals performed a public function to warn the viewers of economic and social chaos resulting from government corruption. Abbey's American knights not only emphasized moral responsibility but also promoted patriotism. The artist refashioned medieval knights into American citizens, whose civic virtue became essential to an ideal leader in American society.

Smart museums based on the growth of online exhibition can be seen as in line with the movement of the 4th Industrial Revolution. By combining art and technologies, they enable viewers to experience culture and art. This study examined the cases of the Dunhuang Museum, the Palace Museum, and the China Arts and Crafts Master Museum to assess or identify how China is leading by accepting the technology of the fourth industry and applying the technology. In common, Chinese smart museums are widely used for collecting enviromental data, establishing integrated digital applications, and preserving collections, services, management, and exhibitions through VR, and AR. Through the case of the Chinese Smart Museum, this study identified the online exhibition as a space that exists in another dimension rather than an image replica with excellent operational utility. Therefore, online exhibitions are the best medium to expand the space, and viewers can explorethe museum's exhibition room and engage with all the contents of the museum without visiting the museum in person. Through the online exhibition of smart museums, visitors and viewers can be transformed into more active cultural consumers and develop collective capabilities.

Information retrieval is one of the most challenging areas in which the ontology technology is effectively used. Among them image retrieval using the image meta data and ontology is the one that can substitute the keyword-based image retrieval. In the paper, the retrieval of visual media such as the art image and photo picture is handled. It is assumed that there are more than one service providers of the visual media and also there is one central service broker that mediates the user's query. Given the user's query the first step that must be done in the service broker is to get the list of candidate service providers that fit the query. This is done by defining various ontologies such as the service ontology and matching the query against the ontology and providers. A novel matching method based on the ASN.1. The experiment shows that the method is more effective than existing tree-based and interval-based methods. Ontology merging issue is also handled that can happen when the service providers register their service into the service broker. An effective method is also proposed.

It is important to retrieve effectively the visual media such as pictures and video in the internet, especially to the application areas such as electronic art museum, e-commerce, and internet shopping malls. It is also needed in these areas to have content-based or even semantic-based multimedia retrieval instead of simple keyword-based retrieval. In our earlier research, we proposed a semantic-based visual media retrieval framework for the effective retrieval of the visual media from the internet. It uses visual media metadata and ontology based on the web service to achieve the semantic-based retrieval. In this research, there are more than one visual media service providers and one central service broker. As a preliminary step to the visual media data retrieval, a method is proposed to retrieve the service providers effectively. The method uses the structure of the ontology tree to obtain the providers and their rankings. It also uses the size of sub nodes and child nodes in the tree. It measures the rankings of providers more effectively than previous method. The experimental results show the accuracy of the method while keeping compatible speed against the existing method.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 기술이 문화예술 분야에 접목되면서 수동적이었던 전시 관람 형태가 능동적인 관람 형태로 바뀌고 있다. 특히, 지능형 가이드 시스템의 등장은 기존의 관람 문화를 크게 변화시켰다. 지능형 가이드 시스템이란 사용자에게 전시물에 대한 정보 및 전시장의 위치 정보를 제공해주는 시스템을 말한다. 현재 상용화되고 있는 지능형 가이드 시스템은 크게 휴대폰, PDA, 게임기 등의 휴대형 장치 기반의 가이드 시스템과 HMD와 같은 착용형 장치 기반의 가이드 시스템으로 나뉠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현재 상용화된 시스템들의 한계(예를 들어, 특정 장치를 직접 착용 혹은 소지해야 함)를 서술하고, 이를 보완하는 프로젝터 기반의 가이드 시스템에서 더 나아가 임의의 공간에 원하는 전시물 구성, 설치 등을 신속, 정확하게 수행하는 지능형 가이드 시스템을 제안한다. 프로젝터 기반의 지능형 가이드 시스템은 기반 기술로 지능형 프로젝션 기술을 필요로 하는데, 이는 임의의 환경에서 임의의 위치에 다수의 사용자에게 고화질, 대화면 영상 정보를 제공해 준다. 그러나, 기존의 지능형 프로젝션 기술은 성능 및 안정성을 위해 대부분 가시적인 패턴 및 마커를 사용하는데, 이는 사용자에게 제공되는 정보를 관찰하는 데 방해가 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자의 관점에서 유용한 비간섭 지능형 프로젝션 기술을 사용한다. 즉, 본 논문에서는 마커나 패턴을 사용함으로써 정확성이나 안정성은 보장하지만, 마커나 패턴을 은닉하여 사용자의 눈에 띄지 않도록 함으로써, 사용자는 원하는 정보를 아무런 방해 없이 제공받을 수 있다. 제안된 시스템을 미술 작품 감상을 위한 가이드 시스템으로 적용해 본 결과, 사용자는 자유로운 환경에서 자신의 위치나 작품에 대한 설명을 대화면으로 제공받으면서, 편안하게 그림을 감상할 수 있었다.

This study is a literature analytical process for studying the drawing teaching methods considering the professional characteristics of animation and a principle analytical process for studying the perspective that when teaching methods that consider the function, learning and creative mechanisms of the brain are applied, the animation drawing ability will be effectively increased. In recent years, as an alternative discussion on the educational method of each field, study results applied with brain-based learning principles are being presented. This is not only being applied and implemented for art and drawing education but as overall educational alternatives. On the other hand, animation drawing requires artistic literacy and at the same time requires comprehensive teaching methods that can train the structural knowledge, cognitive sensation and communication method but such professional teaching methods are insufficient. Therefore, the principle of effective education is seen through the brain mechanism and the principle of demonstrating the creativity and learning by the brain is analyzed. In addition, through the fundamental relationship on the picture drawing and the function of the brain, the relationship of the drawing and the brain is identified. As a result, not only for the left brain that observes the cognitive information which can draw the structure and shapes but the right brain which is directly related to the drawing should be developed, but in order to express the creativity, teaching methods that can understand the mechanism of comprehensive brain where physical and psychological factors are expressed should be also developed. It is because the animation drawing education is teaching the methods for demonstrating the characteristics of artistic creativity required for the drawing ability. This process will not only be a foundation for identifying the difference against the previous animation drawing teaching methods, and the brain-based principles will be selected as the core strategic definition for designing the strategy and methodological model of future education.
