Body-painting, one of plastic arts that configures human bodies, began with history of human beings, and has continued to develop and change. In body-painting, physical and ornamental elements coexist with physical artistic ones and these days, it has been represented as performance. As it is combined with fashion, props, stage presentation, lighting, sound, and dancing using diverse themes and techniques, and distinctive representative approaches, it has been loved as a genre of composite art that can be staged. Thus, there have been active studies on baby-painting in diverse genres and this study analyses the results of recent studies on body-painting and classifies it into painting, textile, contemporary art trend, tools, objet, and educational values according to approaches. And it presents limitations and suggestions through analyses on the applied effects when they are applied for body-painting based on such classification. As a result, because of diverse objects and interesting representation used when painting and contemporary art trend are applied for body-painting, a possibility of new creation was found. For textile, applied effect such as sense of rhythm, rhythmical beauty, sense of movement, speed, harmony, and unity could be maximized. And as it provides many new styles of creative motives when it is applied for fashion, it is expected that it can be used for more ranges. If proper tools are used for body-painting, new representative techniques can be developed and unique effect can be produced. As the range of diverse objets is being expanded, it has educational value in emotion through practical education programs for adolescents. Therefore, for development of body-painting, this study suggests that we should present more diverse and intensified studies on artistic, economic and commercial values of body-painting through stage performance or various performances.
