고창 서화는 20세기 초에 들어서 사호 송수면(宋修勉, 1847-1916)의 제자이자 한때는 양자였던 염재 송태회(念齋 宋泰會, 1872~1941)가 고창으로 이주하며 초석을 다졌고 본격적인 흐름이 시작되었다고 볼 수 있다. 염재는 전남 화순 출신으로 조선 말기와 근대기의 학자이자 서화가로서 고향인 화순과 고창을 중심으로 한문과 서화 교육자로 근무하면서 창작활동을 하며 고창 서화의 초석을 다진 인물이다. 어려서부터 총명하였으며 서예에 남다른 재능을 보였다. 16세에는 진사시에 합격(동몽진사)하여 최연소로 성균관에서 수학하였다. 그러나 강직한 성품의 그는 구한말 부정부패의 만연과 외세의 침략 등으로 인해 크게 낙담하여 세상을 등지고 낙향하여 서화로 시름을 달래었다. 고창과 전주를 기반으로 전국에서 전시회를 개최하며 활발하게 활동하였고, 민족정신과 역사를 배양시키기 위해 고창고등보통학교(현, 고창중·고등학교)를 설립하여 후학을 양성한 교육자이기도 하다. 염재는 사호 송수면(宋修勉, 1847~1916) 화풍의 절대적 영향을 받아 강건한 필치의 산수화를 그렸고, 화조화와 사군자 등 남종문인화의 다양한 화목을 다루었다. 특히 한국적 풍토미를 바탕으로 한 근대지향적 실경산수의 구현과 더불어 신문물에도 관심을 가지고 그림으로 표현했다는 점에서 초창기 근·현대를 아우르는 대표적 서화가로서, 근·현대 고창 서화의 기틀을 다졌다. 또한 세계적 화가 고암 이응노(顧菴 李應魯, 1904~1989)는 10대 후반에 염재로부터 묵화의 기본을 사사하였다. 하지만 이러한 그의 다양한 예술적·사회적 활동에 비해 지역작가로서의 한계와 평가에 그치고 있는 점은 아쉽다.

Visual media transmits image and information reproduced in large quantities, such as a photography, film, television, video, advertisement, or computer image. Correspondence to the students' reception and recognition of culture in the future. arrangements for the field of studies of visual culture. 'Visual Culture' implies cultural phenomena of visual images via visual media, which includes not only the categories of traditional arts like a painting, sculpture, print, or design, but the performance arts including a fashion show or parade of carnival, and the mass and electronic media like a photography, film, television, video, advertisement, cartoon, animation, or computer image. In the world of visual media, Image' functions as an essential medium of communication. Therefore, people call the culture of today fra of Image Culture', which has been converted from an alphabet convergence era to an image convergence one. Image, via visual media, has become a dominant means for communication in large part of human life, so we can designate an Image' as a typical aspect of visual culture today. Image, as an essential medium of communication, plays an important role in contemporary society. The one way is the conversion of analogue image like an actual picture, photograph, or film into digital one through the digitalization of digital camera or scanner as 'an analogue/digital commutator'. The other is a way of process with a computer drawing, or modeling of objects. It is appropriate to the production of pictorial and surreal images. Digital images, produced by the other, can be divided into the form of Pixel' and form of Vector'. Vector is a line linking the point of departure to the point of end, which organizes informations. Computer stores each line's standard location and correlative locations to one another Digital image shows for more 'Perfectness' than any other visual media. Digital image has been evolving in the diverse aspects, such as a production of geometrical or organic image compositing, interactive art, multimedia art, or web art, which has been applied a computer as an extended trot of painting. Someone often interprets digitalized copy with endless reproduction of original even as an extension of a print. Visual af is no longer a simple activity of representation by a painter or sculptor, but now is intimately associated with a matter of application of media. There is some problem in images via visual media. First, the image via media doesn't reflect a reality as it is, but reflects an artificial manipulated world, that is, a virtual reality. Second, the introduction of digital effect and the development of image processing technology have enhanced a spectacle of destructive and violent scenes. Third, a child intends to recognize the interactive images of computer game and virtual reality as a reality, or truth. Education needs not only to point out an ill effect of mass media and prevent the younger generation from being damaged by it, but also to offer a knowledge and know-how to cope actively with social, cultural circumstances. Visual media education is one of these essential methods for the contemporary and future human being in the overflowing of image informations. The fosterage of 'Visual Literacy' can be considered as a very purpose of visual media education. This is a way to lead an individual to the discerning, active consumer and producer of visual media in life as far as possible. The elements of 'Visual Literacy' can be divided into a faculty of recognition related to the visual media, a faculty of critical reception, a faculty of appropriate application, a faculty of active work and a faculty of creative modeling, which are promoted at the same time by the education of 'visual literacy'. In conclusion, the education of 'Visual Literacy' guides students to comprehend and discriminate the visual image media carefully, or receive them critically, apply them properly, or produce them creatively and voluntarily. Moreover, it leads to an artistic activity by means of new media. This education can be approached and enhanced by the connection and integration with real life. Visual arts and education of them play an important role in the digital era depended on visual communications via image information. Visual me야a of day functions as an essential element both in daily life and in arts. Students can soundly understand visual phenomena of today by means of visual media, and apply it as an expression tool of life culture as well. A new recognition and valuation visual image and media education is required to cultivate the capability of active, upright dealing with the changes of history of civilization. 1) Visual media education helps to cultivate a sensibility for images, which reacts to and deals with the circumstances. 2) It helps students to comprehend the contemporary arts and culture via new media. 3) It supplies a chance of students' experiencing a visual modeling by means of new media. 4) There are educational opportunities of images with temporality and spaciality, and therefore a discerning person becomes to increase. 5) The modeling activity via new media leads students to be continuously interested in the school and production of plastic arts. 6) It raises the ability of visual communications dealing with image information society. 7) An education of digital image is significant in respect of cultivation of man of talent for the future society of image information as well. To correspond to the changing and developing social, cultural circumstances, and the form and recognition of students' reception of them, visual arts education must arrange the field of studying on a new visual culture. Besides, a program needs to be developed, which is in more systematic and active level in relation to visual media education. Educational contents should be extended to the media for visual images, that is, photography, film, television, video, computer graphic, animation, music video, computer game and multimedia. Every media must be separately approached, because they maintain the modes and peculiarities of their own according to the conveyance form of message. The concrete and systematic method of teaching and the quality of education must be researched and developed, centering around the development of a course of study. Teacher's foundational capability of teaching should be cultivated for the visual media education. In this case, it must be paid attention to the fact that a technological level of media is considered as a secondary. Because school education doesn't intend to train expert and skillful producers, but intends to lay stress on the essential aesthetic one with visual media under the social and cultural context, in respect of a consumer including a man of culture.
