Abstract

This study looks at the appreciation of the artwork of reproduction pictures. It is based on the concept of "media tetrads" of Marshal McLuhan and focuses on the ideas of Walter Benjamin and Andre Malraux. A reproduction picture extinguishes the meaning and the value that the original artwork has and the reproduction picture itself transforms into a picture of different value. Being a media of higher definition, it retains the truth of the expression of the artist. However, only a superficial understanding can be obtained through appreciating only the reproduction picture. In this study, I suggest a method in which the meaning and value lost in the reproduction picture can be supplemented in the appreciation. Through this method children can experience the same expression technique of the original artwork.
