🎨 Art as Experience — Where Learning Meets Life

藝術作為經驗——當學習與生活相遇

In this curriculum, students are invited to rediscover art not as a product to be admired, but as an experience to be lived. Inspired by John Dewey’s philosophy of Art as Experience, the classroom becomes a studio of perception, reflection, and transformation. Students learn to connect artistic creation with everyday life — the color of morning light, the rhythm of footsteps, the texture of rain — all become sources of inspiration and inquiry.

Through sensory exploration, dialogue, and making, art is experienced as a process of feeling, thinking, and becoming. The emphasis shifts from reproducing beauty to experiencing meaning — where the act of creating becomes a way to understand oneself and the world.

在這門課程中，學生被邀請重新發現藝術，不再只是被欣賞的作品，而是一種被親身經驗的歷程。

呼應杜威（John Dewey）「藝術作為經驗」的理念，教室化為一個感知、反思與轉化的創造場域。學生學會將藝術創作與生活經驗相連結——晨光的色彩、腳步的節奏、雨水的觸感——都成為探索與啟發的素材。

透過感官體驗、討論與創作，藝術被視為一種感受、思考與成長的過程。課程焦點不在於再現美，而在於經驗意義——讓創作的行動成為理解自我與世界的方式。
