Tzu-Wen Elementary School, Taoyuan District, Taoyuan City – Connecting Arts and Emotions

"Art and Emotion Connected" is designed specifically for sixth-grade students, aiming to connect visual arts, performing arts, and mathematics.
The deep cross-domain integration of BitTech (generative AI) realizes the core value of Social Emotional Learning (SEL). The course is not just about drawing, acting, or writing programs, but through the "transfer" of art and the "translation" of technology, it allows children to find a spiritual sanctuary where they can put their emotions, understand others, and embrace themselves during the psychological storm of sixth grade.
I. Core Curriculum Development Philosophy: From "Awareness" to "Transformation" and "Inclusion"
This course uses the CASEL (Consciousness-Based Learning) framework for socioemotional learning (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, ...)
It takes interpersonal skills and responsible decision-making as its core, combining the aesthetic principles of visual arts with the physical experience of performing arts.
1. Art as a medium: It is not just about learning techniques, but about translating "abstract emotions" into "concrete visual/physical symbols".
2. Cross-domain dialogue: Utilizing printmaking, drama, creative coding (p5.js), and natural sculpture, it provides a multi-sensory channel for expression.
3. Technological Collaboration: Introduce generative AI (Gemini, GROK) as "digital mentors" and "emotional translators" for students to help them overcome technical barriers and deepen their metacognition.
II. Analysis of Thematic Relevance and Educational Connotation
Phase One: Awareness and Translation of Individual Experience (Static Art)
1. Theme (I) Artistic Sentiments: Expressing the emotional tension of summer vacation memories through the lines (chaotic, sharp, and smooth) of printmaking. Its connotation lies in establishing emotional granularity and learning non-linguistic communication skills.
2. Theme (II) My Emotional Ice Cream Cone Book: Through Mondrian-style geometric puzzles, the class's emotions are collectively linked with colors. Its essence lies in the artistic respect for subjective feelings, and through the design of "ice cream and cone paper", students are guided to see their own emotions and the support system around them (the blessings of family members and the positive labels of peers).
Phase Two: Logical Construction and Digital Transformation (Digital Art)
1. Theme (3) Mind Wonderland: Using p5.js code-generated art, students design an "emotional transformation path" (uncomfortable  adjustment  calm).

2. Cross-domain connotation: Mapping emotional adjustment strategies (such as deep breathing) to rational digital parameters (such as the laws of particle motion) to train self-management ability.
Phase Three: Boundary Exploration and Advantage Perspectives (Dramatic Arts)
1. Theme (IV) The Hedgehog's Embrace: From the personal digital canvas to the interpersonal physical practice, interpreting the boundaries between the body and mind through the metaphor of "ball".
2. Core of Emotional Education: Practicing Strength-Based Reframing, enabling students to understand that "weaknesses are strengths in the wrong place," and learning to demonstrate flexibility to build a positive emotional foundation.

Phase Four: Species-Based Species and Soul Integration (Visual Multimedia Art)

1. Theme (5) Meeting My Soul Substitute: This is the final integration of the course. Students choose an animal category based on their personality and create a three-dimensional sculpture using natural materials (wood, branches, fruits, etc.).
2. Meta-dialogue: Using GROK AI, the sculpture is given a first-person monologue, expressing its reaction when encountering "thorns (conflicts)". Its meaning lies in combining self-acceptance and social awareness, completing the transformation from metaphor to concrete imagery.
Phase 5: Audiovisual Integration and Responsible Practice (Integrated Multimedia Art)
1. Theme (VI) One Person, One Story—Responsible Theatre: Guiding students into the field of multimedia audio-visual directing, integrating the script guidance of the "Six-Frame Story Wheel" with AI-powered mixed-image narrative technology, and transforming the static...
The natural materials used in the sculpture are layered and dynamically open to speak.
2. Through cross-temporal appreciation and the use of "delicate expressions" in classical music as emotional background music, children can record a meta-inner monologue of their soul's alter ego while watching the visuals. In this AI drama that traces the progression from "event—primary reaction (stab)—responsible decision—final action," children are guided through an inner storm.
Stop, look, listen; reveal the vulnerability and softness of the abdomen, deepening one's social choices into something beautiful.
Multimedia responsibility practices with a sense of depth.
