被改版的藝術史：創作系所中的藝術史學習與教學

Art History Revised: Learning and Teaching Art History in a Studio-Arts-based Department

筆者學術專長為西洋藝術史，不具備美術或設計之學歷。目前工作單位乃以藝術和工藝創作、作品生產及展出為主。在臺灣，創作類各系所，近三十年來，大都提供中、西藝術史課程，甚至將其列為必修。筆者近十年來，於工作單位教授西洋藝術史、文化理論等課程，從中觀察、分析、歸納出「藝術史」這項專業，其調整、適應，甚至「服務」於創作類系所的情形。本文將討論一、學生們對於西洋藝術史的學習情形。二、教學者的挑戰及收穫。並稍加整理：三、在臺灣教學西洋藝術史時，教師可以用到的場館。期望透過本文的闡述，呈現「藝術史」這門本為獨立的專業學科，如何像被「改版」般，變成創作類系所提供的專業教育之一部分。

The author specializes in Western Art History and does not have degrees in Fine Arts or Design. The author’s current department focuses on studio arts and crafts, work production and exhibition. In Taiwan, during the past thirty years, most of the studio-arts-based departments have offered courses such as Chinese and Western Art History, and even made them the core course. For almost ten years, the author has taught the course of Western Art History and a few courses related to cultural theories in her department. She now observes, analyzes and formulates the situation in which Art History is adjusted and adapted to “serve” a studio-arts-based department. This essay discusses 1. how the students learn Western Art History 2. the teacher’s challenges and feedback, and briefly 3. what museums and art galleries in Taiwan can be introduced to the teachers of Western Art History. It is hoped that this essay illustrates how Art History, though an independent and professional discipline, seems to have been “revised” to become part of the pedagogy of a department whose focus is studio arts.
