I started to think about the character creation principles of Chinese characters: Liushu, and I was curious whether the development of sign language also has character (word) rules like the Six Books of Chinese, or whether the vocabulary can be classified accordingly. Therefore, this course is designed to let students first understand the definitions of pictograms, instructions, meanings, and pictographs in the six books, and then use the principles of character creation to guide students to think about new activities and things that are happening now. What should they look like if they want to create characters? Let students use their creativity to become modern Cangjie.
Next, connect the Six Scripts Principle with sign language vocabulary, allowing students to think about the hand shapes, movements, orientations, etc. used in sign language expression, and how they coincide with the concepts of the Six Scripts, and give examples to illustrate. Finally, ask the students what their name is in sign language and why they were named? Discuss the connection between your sign language name and your personal characteristics.
Finally, the meaning of sculpture is introduced, from the analysis of the meaning of words to the introduction of different materials, and different standing sculptures and relief works are introduced, allowing students to try to describe what they see and their feelings, and finally share the story of the sculpture. After students understand the concepts behind artistic creation, students are asked to start designing three-dimensional sculptures of their own sign language names. It is hoped that students can use this creation to show their personal characteristics or the ideas they want to bring to others.
