本文以「視覺藝術社群」為對象，I如何形成」為提問， I網路媒體使用」 為觀察策略，欲藉此探討網路文化在藝術教育上的意義，論述藝術教育實踐與研究的發展方向。
方法上，則以Goffman的社會互動論為理論工具，將網路的「介面」視為社群管造的「文化產物J'以「電腦繪畫社群J(CG Society)為個案，通 過「介面」分析，描述藝術社群形成與交往的機制其意義O研究發現，I電腦 繪畫社群」在網路媒體的介面中，至少展現四種互動機制，包括展覽、競賽、教學與市集，而社交環境安排與工具設計，不僅促成使用者分享作品與教學展示，社群給予的回應與榮譽，深化「在此」進行活動的現實意義oI電腦繪畫 社群」不僅為使用者建構明確的目標、任務與意義腳本，更提供創作行動發生的「榮譽象徵」及贈與貢獻的「禮物文化」。
據此，個人認為，藝術教育的實踐，若著重社群發展，則應建構創作群之分享贈與及互教文化，以「參與形成」做為評估的考量O然則，網路雖強化視覺藝術社群的聯繫與文化生產，卻非所有藝術社群都能以此方式運作與獲益，未來不同藝術社群如何「使用媒體」形成自身的展演文化，會是值得研究的課題O

This paper takes a visual arts community as its subject， and explores the significance of online culture in art education by asking how the community formed and pursuing an observational strategy focusing on online media use， while discussing the practice of art education and research development directions.
This paper employs the social theory concepts of Goffman as theoretical tools， views Internet interfaces as community-shaping "cultural products，and uses interface analysis to explore the significance of formative and relationship mechanisms in a computer graphics community. This study discovered that the computer graphics community's online media interface displayed at least four kinds of mechanisms， including exhibition， competition， instruction， and marketplace. Furthermore， not only did the layout of the community's social environment and tool design encourage users to share works and instructional displays， the feedback and honors accorded by the community deepened the real significance of the activities that took place there. The computer graphics community constructed a clear objective， mission， and script for its members， while further providing honor symbols arising in creative activities and a gift culture characterized by conferral of contributions.
The author believes that if the practice of art education emphasizes community development， then a culture of sharing and mutual instruction should be constructed within the creative team， and form of participation should be taken into consideration in assessment. Although the Internet can strengthen contact and cultural production within a visual arts community， not all art communities can function and benefit from this approach. Accordingly， investigation of how different art communities use media to form their own display cultures will be a topic worthy of future research.
