National Cheng Kung Commercial High School – Between Flowers – Art and Trends Intertwined Amidst Flowers

This course centers on literary imagery, natural observation, and the aesthetics of life. Combining artistic creation practice with an interdisciplinary literacy orientation, it guides students through three levels—textual understanding, visual translation, and hands-on media practice—to develop personalized artistic expression and aesthetic thinking by tracing the process from "reading imagery → transforming symbols → creating expression → applying to life."

Starting with the literary context of "The Peach Blossom Spring," the course emphasizes the transformation between literary imagery and visual language, enabling students to understand the connection between abstract emotions and concrete images. It also cultivates students' ability to express artistic conception and organize visual elements through the use of Eastern aesthetic principles such as watercolor, ink painting, and negative space composition. The course extends to the observation and creation of poems about objects and plant symbols, guiding students to discover emotional projections and symbolic meanings from natural objects. Through mixed media techniques such as printing and collage, students develop cross-media integration and visual storytelling abilities. Finally, the course connects to the practice of art in daily life, using denim clothing painting to help students understand that art exists not only on paper but also in everyday objects and personal style, practicing the creative view that "life is art, and objects are canvases."

In terms of teaching strategies, this course integrates AI image guidance, demonstration teaching, technique breakdown, sketching thinking, and a phased creative process, emphasizing the creative cycle of exploration-experimentation-correction-completion to cultivate students' problem-solving and creative practice abilities. At the same time, through the upload, display and sharing of works and positive feedback mechanisms from peers, a learning culture of observation, expression, and aesthetic dialogue is established to enhance artistic expression skills and appreciation literacy.

The overall curriculum design echoes the core competencies of autonomous action, communication and interaction, and social participation, enabling students to develop their observation, transformation, and expression skills in the process of artistic creation. Through integrated learning across texts, media, and life contexts, it shapes learners with cultural understanding, aesthetic judgment, and innovative practical abilities.
