融合藝術創作與社區服務學習的實務通識課程：以「藝術設計與生活」為例   全文下載

The Practical General Education Course Integrates Art Creation and Community Service Learning: the Course in Art-Design and Living

本文旨在探討「藝術設計與生活」課程如何透過藝術創作理念與社區服務學習行動的融合，架構一個以利他服務學習行動為目的，以藝術創作為媒介，引動學子肯學、肯動的通識藝術教學方案。在實際的操作上，課程進行以小組為單位，結合藝術創作歷程與服務學習的五個學習階段，融合出新的教學模式，除引導學子習得合作討論與資源整合的能力，更培育能在創作時運用心念轉化完成藝術創作的能力，以符應美的感受與實踐的完整學習歷程。
透過本文相應的探討可以發現，「藝術設計與生活」課程透過藝術設計覺知、藝術創作，結合義賣服務學習等歷程，除能習得人文素養內涵，也在學子期末心得回應中看出，從手工創作、到包裝與行銷設計及實際義賣販售等歷程，整體透過經驗學習、反省與成長，去體認用雙手可以為社會創造幸福感的自我價值認同。如此，已成功建構出學子未來自我創業想像力與實踐能力的實務性。藉由這樣的課程實務與本文的分析、記錄，希冀對藝術類通識課程的實踐與想像開一扇窗，也期待通識課程能有更多元的新面貌。

This paper aimed to explore how the Art Design and Living course encouraged learners to be involved in the art class through the implementation of creativity and community service, which focused on altruism and art creation. The course required that learners should incorporate art creation process into a five-stage service learning in small groups, which helped them to increase cooperation and information organization abilities, boost their creativity, and thereby complete their whole learning process of experiencing and practicing art. The learners’ reflection papers indicated that they could learn, reflect, and grow by dint of their handmade creations, package designs, market plans, and altruistic charity sale, among others; in addition to cultivating their humanity, the course helped the learners experience identifying their self-worth of bringing community happiness. As such, the course has helped the learners increase their abilities to imagine and start their enterprises. It is a hope that the course can open one window for interested teachers to design multi-faceted courses to make general education diverse and rich.
