Taoyuan City Ciwen Elementary School─Legend of color change

The term "Synesthesia in art" includes visual musicization, music visualization, etc., and explores the simultaneous operation of the senses, such as vision and hearing. When it comes to the discussion of synesthesia, artistic perspectives have been circulating for a long time, and there are both similarities and gaps with synesthesia in modern neuroscience. Neuroscience defines synesthesia as: the perceptual experience stimulated in the absence of such sensory stimulation; in the field of art, it is mostly defined as: the spontaneous perception of two or more stimuli as a single Gestalt experience (Campen ,2009). The teachers group discussed whether artistic synesthesia can be taught? Or inspired? For example, in recent years there has been a discussion on neural synesthesia by the past artists Kandinsky and Scriabin. The discussion in the teacher group extended to the discussion of teachers' "art teaching". What is the role of teachers in art teaching? Some partners believe that synesthesia is not teachable and cannot be taught, but after the discussion, they feel that it can inspire and cultivate. How to cultivate and inspire What? The team decided to start from the awareness of the environment, through a series of experiences and practice iterations, connect with opportunities for innovation, and then reflect on the overall process. The course is built on the inspiration of color synesthesia, and then connected to the exploration of color and oneself.

The course design begins with the exploration of observing and identifying natural colors in campus life, starting from exploring the different tones of plants, feeling the colors in the environment, from collecting colors to observing color changes, and understanding the mysterious principles of natural color changes from the records of color changes. Extract the colors in nature and combine them with food safety issues, enter the world of color-changing beauty, use the principles of beauty to integrate what you know and feel, and apply it to life. By connecting the relationship between color and self, it emphasizes the meaning and value of its own existence. The two are related and influence each other, but they do not influence each other. Through the means of art, I realize my self-reflexivity, and in the creation of simulated stories, I discover that the existence of belief can change reality. Through the course, students can strengthen their own feelings, understand their own preferences and styles, and discover their own image and personality traits. From understanding oneself to identifying oneself, find suitable ways to develop and express oneself, find one's own value and positioning, and cultivate the ability of self-expression and sensitivity of beauty.
