Interdisciplinary Aesthetic Education × Teacher Training Committee Special Issue 20 | Architecture × Cultural Heritage: Jinling University's Local Practice of Interdisciplinary Aesthetic Education

The Department of Architecture at National Quemoy University is implementing the "Interdisciplinary Aesthetic Education Excellence Pilot Project." Through curriculum collaboration, site visits, and empowerment lectures, the project connects several benchmark and seed schools in Kinmen and Matsu, integrating aesthetic education into nature, ecology, cultural assets, and life experiences to carry out diverse and profound learning practices.

In the curriculum of Jinhu Township, Kinmen County, elementary school students have been presenting the conservation of Eurasian otters in Kinmen through puppet shows and handmade teaching aids, cultivating their concern for the environment through observation and action. Dongju Elementary School in Dongju Township, Lienchiang County, combines artists' creations with indigo dyeing techniques, allowing students to connect island memories with an international perspective through artistic dialogue. Jinning Elementary and Middle School in Jinning Township, Kinmen County, has gone to Taiwu Mountain, a model street of historical buildings and cultural landscape, to discover the cross-domain relationship between mathematics and aesthetics by using historical buildings and natural landscapes as teaching materials.

In addition, the Department of Architecture at National Quemoy University also conducted the "Taste of Home, Beauty of the Place: Walking Through the Architecture and Culture of Gugang" workshop, which integrates SEL (Science, Energy and Social Sciences) issues with interdisciplinary aesthetics, and the "Image Chain Metallurgy: From the 'Spatial Magic' of Film to the Industrial Regeneration of British Historic Heritage" lecture, which integrates SDGs issues with interdisciplinary aesthetics. These workshops guided seed and benchmark teachers to rethink the connection between teaching design and aesthetic experience from the perspectives of architectural space, image narrative, and cultural asset regeneration. The department also assisted the planning team in organizing a three-day interdisciplinary aesthetic education workshop, which included visits to the Kinmen tunnels, wine country culture, and a tour of the aesthetics of settlement architecture, deepening the teachers' dialogue between the island and the humanities.

Thanks to the cooperation of the benchmark/seed school teacher teams and the assistance of all those involved in the overall planning, this project not only promotes teacher professional development and inter-school exchanges, but also allows aesthetic education to respond to local culture, becoming an important medium connecting knowledge, life and emotions, and continuously injecting innovative energy into island education.
