Early childhood cultural and artistic education is a process of expressing oneself and understanding society, which has a great impact on the lives of young children. It utilizes the principle of individualization, which means that individual diversity should be considered because each toddler has different developmental characteristics; the principle of play-centeredness, which means that toddlers form active attitudes toward experiential activities through enjoyment through play; the principle of integration, which is the foundation for holistic development; and the principle of direct experience, which means that toddlers have the experience of touching and manipulating materials. In the introduction, children are encouraged to explore and think about materials, read and share books together, and express their thoughts creatively through artistic expressions such as art, music, physical expression, drama, movies, and photography in the first and second phases. In the final stage, a teaching and learning plan was developed that consisted of a circle time for the children to share their opinions with each other in the process of appreciating the results created by the children and presenting their thoughts. As the educational effectiveness of early childhood cultural arts education is best developed in the early childhood period, when learning is emphasized by children exploring according to their interests, this study presented a learning guidance plan that reflects various educational methods and genre convergence education that can be applied to early childhood cultural arts education.

Well designed idealistic zoo requires basically a condition that the zoo is much ecologically considered for the exhibited animals, and secondly where they offer leisure for the visitors' convenience and pleasure. But it is not easy to find a zoo where they have actualized these both-sided purposes. We cannot but discuss the problem of design caused by a lack of plan-ability that is necessary when the zoo is designed. It is because every elements are not wholly unified and those diversified contents aren't mutually harmonized. Therefore, a zoo has to meet the requirement of the pleasure, study, inspection and leisure deserves a special emphasis. The zoo requires a synthesized speculation of design which the elements-Identity Program, Furniture System, animal's ecological environment, animal's showroom, cage and facilities etc., - are mutually harmonized. This study is a combined-design research on the Daegu Dal-sung Park in this concept. 1 have newly analyzed the Dal-sung Park's utilizing form in order to harmonize both visual and ecological environments.
