Taichung No. 1 Middle School, Taichung City─Positive thinking with negative energy quotes from Uber-ART

Cross-field courses in life education and painting creation seem to be important among today’s young generation who hold a nihilistic view of life. The sensitivity of art creators to the environment has also undergone significant changes in this era where all senses are virtualized. "It's not important, it doesn't matter, it's okay" has become the mantra of young people, and "If you take it seriously, you will lose" has become a universal negative energy inspirational saying. In a state of nothingness where everything seems insignificant, how should "self" be shaped? Taking "self-portrait" as a common painting expression subject as an example, in today's era where the ways of viewing oneself are becoming increasingly diverse, how should the spiritual self-image creation and the expression and discussion of personality traits be constructed? Respond to the new lesson The curriculum emphasizes literacy-oriented and cross-disciplinary concepts. This course design invited two disciplines of art and life education to teach in the art class. Through multiple joint preparations, the main axis of curriculum development was discussed, and the final tone was set with artistic creation (self-portrait). And the retrospective of the artist's life history evokes the new generation's inner motivation to explore kinship. In addition, based on the curriculum development axis of life education, combined with the cross-disciplinary aesthetics course (Annie News Project) of the ordinary class art class, the course of "News Layout Design of Negative Energy Quotations" was also implemented. It seems that there are different curriculum development axes, but it is At the same time, it is centered around the life state that the younger generation is experiencing or feeling together. It is just a publication design from the perspective of the creator, which uses aesthetics to intervene in life reflection and transform it into a news layout. The spirit of this cross-field (life education vs. fine arts) course design is also presented through the integration of creation and life issues. The students in the art class also held a small theme exhibition called "Weaving x Mirror" after the completion of the course. The children used the expression technique of ink and fine brushwork to create a long-axis self-portrait work. In this spatial field, the creator himself The construction and interpretation of the image come from art class students of the same generation and age. In addition to their own objective appearance, they are free to choose how they appear to others. The diversity of choices is a common feature of this era. But is it possible for each person with a different appearance to have their relationship with their relatives interpreted in the work? What are the possible connections between their appearance, personality traits, interests and hobbies, etc., and their relatives and family genealogy? The viewer is invited to enter this special place to discover the subtle connection between the artist and his family!
