New Taipei City Gongliao Experimental Junior High School – Green Dreams: A Journey into Plant Art

This course integrates natural science, artistic creation, and the spirit of the mountains, embodying the school's educational philosophy. By exploring campus plants and natural science principles, students will experience the close connection between the environment and art through practical experience. The course emphasizes interdisciplinary learning, hoping to stimulate students' interest in environmental protection and artistic creation, and cultivate their innovative thinking and practical skills.

1. Interdisciplinary Learning: Integrating ecology and artistic creation, students will not only understand the natural environment but also express their appreciation and respect for it creatively. The curriculum also incorporates the spirit of the satoyama. Students will experience the balance between human activities and the natural ecosystem, learn how to coexist with nature in a respectful and symbiotic way, and apply this mindset to their daily lives.
2. Practice and Experience: Through hands-on activities (such as plant observation and dye making), students can personally experience the scientific process and apply it to their creative work, enhancing the depth and interest of their learning. The concept of sustainable use is also reflected in the creative process, putting the satoyama spirit of "symbiosis" and "sustainability" into practice.
3. Sustainability and Satoyama Spirit: This course emphasizes the organic integration of sustainability and the Satoyama spirit. Through the use of plant-based dyes and environmentally friendly creations, students are guided to consider how to practice environmental protection and sustainability in their artistic creations. Students are encouraged to internalize these concepts into their values and learn to maintain a sense of environmental responsibility in their daily lives.
