It is planned to hold a cross-school empowerment activity "Beauty in Life" at Taiwu Elementary School in Pingtung County on January 16 and 17, aimed at empowering the teacher community and practical teaching for students. The activity content includes three stages: international visit topic sharing, visit to Aboriginal artist studios and hand-made teaching courses.
First, Principal Jiang Zhongpeng and Director Zhang Shizong gave a special presentation on how to bring what they saw and heard during the visit to Spain back to Taiwan and integrate it into the curriculum. From the perspective of teachers in non-art fields, they connected the exotic cultures from mountains and streams to the other side of the ocean, demonstrating the core spirit of cross-disciplinary aesthetic education. Next, we visited the tribal artist's studio, where the artist shared with the teachers the meaning of pottery pots and patterns. These were precious information that could not be found on the Internet, and made us realize the importance of cultural heritage and the necessity of off-campus study.
The next day, four senior aesthetic teachers led the hand-made teaching practice in batches. The course covered the creation of pattern paper-cutting and poster design, textured handwritten paper, warrior pottery beads and geometric pencil cases, combining modern techniques with traditional patterns to expand the possibilities of innovative teaching and aesthetic education. The teachers at Taiwu Elementary School all worked together in class. Their professionalism and seriousness were reflected in many details, and they expressed their willingness to try such aesthetic courses in the future.
The event ended with the presentation of each class’s achievements, which not only showcased students’ creative achievements, but also promoted professional dialogue and exchanges among teachers and teaching inspiration. Principal Lai Qing'an said: Teachers are like the protection and companionship of a hundred-step snake. They give children the opportunity to immerse themselves in a beautiful environment and expand their world and horizons. It is a wonderful thing. I hope that this touching and energy will continue to spread.
