[藝術創作] 藝術作品-2

無憂

雖然我也只會花些花花草草太陽之類小朋友就會畫的東西，但也許就是因為他是屬於童年無憂無慮的記憶，因次每次只要開心的時候就會想要畫個笑臉太陽，或是微笑的花朵，雖然簡單，但是看著看著，總能讓自己得心情開闊起來^^

矛盾 2010.10 乃慧隨筆

我覺得能夠隨意的畫出自己的心情，感覺很棒~雖然我的繪畫能力真的很不好，但是看著自己創作出的作品，心裡還是會得到滿滿的共鳴，也許就是因為深刻的記錄了創作當下的心情吧!

[作業-學習心得] Learning Log (1) ：Grave Stele

Website I visited	Royal Ontario Museum “Grave Stele, Greece” (http://www.rom.on.ca/media/audio/flash.php?stop=311)
What language content I have learned	From the sound artist: 1. Grave Stele, Greece (石柱; 石碑) 2. Greek tomb sculptures were both markers for the deceased, and memorials. (死者) 3. At the top, the artist has carved a siren.(【希神】塞壬(半人半鳥的女海妖, 以歌聲吸引水手並使船隻遇難)) 4. She’s there to ward off any potential desecrators(瀆聖者)
My reflections	This audio tour clearly explains the historical background of this grave stele. It introduces what kind of artworks will people died around that time use to decorate their grave. Then it shows us the meanings and functions of the images carved on the stele. This information can greatly improve the comprehension of visitors to the artwork. However, I think this audio tour does not offer enough description about the appearance of the artwork. Due to the limitation of the internet, we browsers cannot observe the stele very well. The descriptions offered by the instructor thus become important. So we should be aware of this aspect when we are making an audio tour.

老師說：線上導覽和現場導覽雖皆名為導覽，但難度差異有別。現場導覽由於民眾是先買票預約，無法是先得知導覽之內容或水平，所以就算導覽員的表現較生硬或偏向純知識性的導覽，觀眾也須全盤接受。但線上導覽不同。線上導覽的主要目的，在於帶領民眾由網路世界走向實體展覽館。好的線上導覽，應能激發民眾觀看真實展品之興趣及意圖，進而培養親身接觸藝術陶冶身心豐富知識等良好公民品德。所以歸納以上敘述：原來要錄製一段好的線上導覽，最重要的，就是要能像一個優秀的貨品推銷員，鼓動三寸不爛之舌，務求將民眾騙入美術館看真品！仔細想想，也就是諸如我曾聽過的「蒙娜麗莎原作的背景水會流」、「翠玉白菜有一角顏色不適合雕成白菜，於是藝術家就把它雕成菜蟲」之類的說法，會讓人不禁怦然心動，想要一睹原作的風采。而我想，這就是我們應當努力的目標吧！

另外，我很喜歡李老師講義中所提及的，波特萊爾「生活玩家」的說法。很多時候我覺得藝術不應該只侷限於畫筆、顏料或者其他媒材所構成的創作物而已。我在烹調食物，或者追求文字的精準度及節奏感的時候（莫名其妙的很在乎這件事......），常常會想：當我在竭盡所能，努力將人類某部分的文明成就推向至臻的時候，我所追求的，難道不能算是一種藝術？而如今，波特萊爾的說法讓我有了解答。

生活即藝術。

Reflections of the audio tour lectures

Med 2^nd Reggie

109810041

In the last two lectures, I became familiar with the role of audio tour guides, and different views taken on a piece of artwork.

First of all, Professor Lee has planted the concept that “life itself is art” deeply in my mind. She told us that many artworks do not convey apparent meanings that viewers can logically analyze. On the contrary, artists’ inspiration comes from their daily lives --- a color, a geological form, or even a stroke --- which may be abstract to the viewers’ eyes. We can try to decipher or analyze their artworks, but we may not capture the first intention for creating the works, since there is no fixed interpretation in any art.

A better way for art appreciation, in my opinion, is to feel the art itself. We can have more profound reflections by trying to get the first impression coming through our minds at the sight of the artworks, and by knowing the background of the artworks, such as the period of time, culture, and the life of the author. For example, seeing Picasso’s “Nude Woman in a Red Armchair” for the first time, I got an abstract feeling. However, after I knew the story between Balzac’s novel and Picasso’s illustration, I had a deeper reflection: maybe Picasso imagines himself to be the character in the novel, and tries to finish the painting which is burnt up in the novel. (This is just my guess)

Second, viewers can have systemic ways to appreciate artworks. In her second lecture, Professor Lee told us when appreciating a sculpture, we don’t have to ask questions before we look it around. We can observe its light, texture, color variation and unity, details, and inner tension. Through the analysis of various components of the works, some mystic sense of beauty may emerge from our minds. I’m impressed by Donatello’s “Mary Magdalene”. Donatello uses woods as a medium, and creates special texture on Mary’s face and her muscles. I feel Mary is a woman who has experienced many vicissitudes in her life by examining her face, but still has a strong will as her muscle has revealed.

To conclude, we should not only equip ourselves well with knowledge in visual arts but also get prepared psychologically before appreciating an artwork. First impression is the most important. Our feeling will be enriched after we know the background of the artwork and the artist, and the techniques the artists use. After all, the more information we can get about the artworks, the more we can appreciate them.

Website I visited	The National Gallery: on Project A Wheatfield, with Cypresses (http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/learning/inspired-by-the-collection/sound/*/chooseMedia/21/)
What language content I have learned (vocabulary/sentence/…)	From the sound artist: 1. Van Gogh was put in the mental asylum in 1889 精神病院 2. the selected painting is the oil on canvas 油畫的帆布上 3. The weeds field is moving simultaneously both in the left and right direction, concluding to one position or confusion.
My reflections	The accent of the audio guidance may influence the audience’s understanding of the exhibition. I think it’s quite important to keep every word pronounced clearly that the audience can get whole information about it. To make a good audio guidance, it’s very important to take a deeper look at the background of the author, to know why, how, where and what the author made used in the painting this work. The guide also leads me to observe the color and lines to catch the author’s feelings and thoughts. I would have missed many points without listening to the audio tour. It’s a good idea to put a piece if related music to let the audience just as if they were in the scene where the author made the painting. But I think it would be better if a video clip can be made to orient the viewer with directions show where the guide want us to take a look at. I would say a pointer used in an oral presentation is fine, too.

Learning log 1 (By葉育欣　醫學二　109810012)

Website I visited	Royal Ontario Museum:Director's Choice Audio Tour Stop 310: Bust of Dionysus, Greece Gallery of Greece Level 3 (http://www.rom.on.ca/media/audio/flash.php?stop=310)
What language content I have learned (vocabulary/sentence/…)	From the sound artist: 1. Bust of Dionysus, Greece(希臘酒神：戴奧尼索斯的半身像) 2. also the god of the theatre, of crop fertility, and of the underworld, in the window alcove. theatre　戲劇 crop fertility　莊稼豐沃 underworld　塵世、地球的另一面、陰間、下層階級 alcove　凹室、壁龕 3. Praxiteles was noted for the languid poses and tranquil beauty of his sculptures, and our Roman copy has captured those qualities. languid poses　軟弱無力的姿勢 tranquil beauty　平靜的美 4. the Greeks portrayed him as a dignified elderly man. portrayed him as…　描寫他是… dignified 尊嚴的、高貴的 5. an effeminate boy　一位沒有男子氣概的男孩 6. the soft modelling of his torso torso　軀幹
My reflections	As we know, the mythology of Greece includes many unique features, such as strong torsos,and haspeculiar functions. Nevertheless, Dionysus, the Greek god of wine,has an effeminate body that is much different from others. In my opinion, this sculpture reveals not only the background of the time, but also discloses the thought of the sculptor.In the view of materials, the sculptor chose the marble to present his creation.By using the white color of the work to highlight the beauty of tranquility, dignity, and nobleness.In the view of the figures, we can see that it is full of smooth curves, instead of strong lines to stress the outward appearance of man. It strikes a balance between stiffness and flexibility. Also, the sculptor delivered that the time,around 4th century BC , needed some balance,between the art and political crisis. To sum up, appreciating a work of art can stir up my sensitive outsight to realize the true meaning of everything.Also, I can learn to compare works of art that I have ever appreciated.

[作業-學習心得] Learning Log (1) (blue lady)

Learning log 1  (By 潘衍廷)

Website I visited	Royal Ontario Museum: Iconic - "Kunti" (Blue Lady) (http://www.rom.on.ca/media/podcasts/display.php?id=119)
What language content I have learned (vocabulary/sentence/…)	From the sound artist: 1.     women are very assertive (堅定自信的；堅決主張的) 2.     he was using these ready-mades. （預製的；現成的） 3.     urinal (小便池；小便斗) 4.     zoom （將畫面推進或拉遠） 5.       torso 軀幹
My reflections	The speaker is a female Indian artist, Novjot Altof, who made the series of sculptures. She called these blue-woman-like sculptures Kunti, named after a witch in Kondegoon, India. In that place, any woman possessing knowledge is valid to be called a witch. Novjot said that not just in India,  many other countries in the world have that witch, who may be de-humanizing though she is  not a bad person. These witches are assertive.     Novjot cut the sculpture separately because the trunk was too huge. The sculpture is composed of many parts: arms, torso, and so on. Some parts of these blue ladies are ready-mades, such as the green tube they hold.     And lastly, I would like to say that the learning log a hard task for me, because the speaker spoke English with a strong Indian accent and I had a little difficulty recognizing what she is saying. However, I’ve completed the task.

[作業-學習心得] 拜訪蔡根

一進到蔡根老師的家，立刻就有眼睛一亮的感覺。寬敞明亮的空間裡妝點著各式各樣的藝術品，是裝飾也是主角。不陰不晴，光線從大面玻璃窗斜斜射入，那些以各樣素材樸實拼湊的作品隱隱就有一股禪意，讓人沉澱，讓人寧靜。老師早期的作品主要是用夾板拼接。我很喜歡擺在走廊上的「龍」，刻刀一刀一刀剜過，刻意不磨平的粗糙表面彷彿密密的龍鱗。牆邊的木格櫃子擺滿了旅行收集來的各式紀念品，連門簾和腳下的踏墊都別具韻味。撿來的樹枝、蟬殼、廢棄物，各式各樣的東西都能脫胎換骨，成為創作的材料。來到蔡根老師的家，我找到「人人都是藝術家」的生活實證，因為不但蔡根老師本人，他們全家都是藝術家呢！

三芝地方藝術賞析英語線上導覽課程心得─李美蓉老師

護理系一年級陳佩晴

兩次的上課中，慢慢了解到，藝術欣賞已不再是如傳統般單純思考創作者的思想，而是增加了欣賞者自己的想像力，與作品有了「互動」。運用自己的想像，即使不是很理解創作者創作的原始想法，但也許從不同角度欣賞一件作品，這件作品也就多了一份價值，也讓自身更貼近藝術品。而導覽者的角色也與以往不同，過去導覽僅僅對作品做出背景介紹、材質……，而今導覽者已成為引導者，引導欣賞者認識藝術作品，進而激發出欣賞者的創意思考並與生活作為結合，讓藝術不是那麼遠不可及、難以理解，而是更貼近現實生活經驗。

在雕塑作品中，光線扮演著重要角色，不同光源、不同角度、不同角度......都影響著欣賞者的觀感，微妙的變化都能使人產生不同的感覺，此外選擇的素材也同樣能產生不同的效果，白色大理石製成的女體，擁有著晶瑩剔透的感覺，而青銅或黑色大理石展現出了剛毅。線條也同樣傳達著此件藝術品所欲表現的概念。

隨著工業的發達，雕塑藝術也出現的極大的轉變，從構成主義到到現在的裝置藝術、公共藝術，創作變得不再是只侷限於人物，而是更加的抽象，原料素材也不僅僅只是木頭、青銅、大理石……，反倒加入了更多令人意想不到的元素，連日常用品也都是創作題材！

李美蓉老師的這兩堂有關於藝術的課,雖然時間不長,不過卻很精彩,

讓我認識到我之前不曾接觸過的概念及想法.

其中,老師對我們這些藝術門外漢非常有耐心,

在課堂上慢慢地領導我們打開我們的眼睛,

細細地去觀察作品裡的微妙處.

在這個過程中,我也體認到:雖然藝術是要用心去體會的,

但是當你的背景知識越多的時候,你看見的東西會更多,

而體會到的東西也會越深刻.就像我平常在學校學生物之類的科目一樣,

在小時候看到一隻兔子就只是單純的覺得他好可愛,

但在當學到生物體裡的每一部分是如何地分工合作之後,

看到的一隻兔子之後便不僅僅只是一隻兔子,我也看到了在他背後造物者的精心設計,

因而更受到感動.又如音樂,我還記得在一開始接觸音樂的時候,

我只會去注意它的旋律跟節拍之類的,但當我開始自己有練樂器之後,

我便開始注意到每個演奏者在同樣一段旋律之中用的不同技巧,當我練的更深入之後,

我又聽得出來在同一段旋律中帶的不同的感情.

我想這都可以印證老師跟我們提醒的相符合.

因此,我預計在接下來的這幾個月可能要稍微涉獵一些與美術相關的入門專業知識,

資料來源可能有網路跟書籍~

至於在語音導覽的部分,在聽完老師的兩堂課之後,

我心中是多了一些恐懼感,

怕我可能沒辦法勝任這項滿需要專業的工作,

但也頓時覺得這堂課多了那麼一些的挑戰性,

感覺我真的能在這堂課學到一些平常不會在別的地方學習到的知識及學問,

希望隨著時間的演進,我會覺得這堂課越來越充實.

發現三芝藝術之李美蓉老師上課心得

馬偕醫學系

心得:

第一堂老師講課的主題﹕「從欣賞到導覽的角色轉換挑戰」，顧名思義地要我們思索角色轉換後的衝擊，在還沒上課前，我先思考了一下這個問題，從被動的欣賞，到了解藝術作品的意義、真諦、以及作者的動機、原創性，進而傳達給聽者藝術品的展現意義。我把這個課題分三個面向探索，第一，欣賞者的角度，什麼叫做欣賞?欣賞藝術品的意義是什麼?欣賞我該注意什麼?我認為，欣賞不能只是看，而是要主動探求作品背後的媒材與作者經歷。李老師講課提及品味生活就是藝術的觀念，其實藝術是活的，是在我們生活中隨處可見的，但我們都把藝術太神聖化，或者乾脆格式化，這是很扭曲的觀念。第二，藝術作品需要的是想像力、創造力，如果單就作者的經歷來推測作者的創作意義，是有失偏頗與藝術的創造性。李老師認為，其實探究藝術可以更多元，以創作者的思想與背景作探究；以作品本身的意義、考證、歸類，做探究；以觀賞者為中心，也就是現代的閱讀理論或者詮釋學。第三，推廣至導覽面向，從傳統的手冊、展場導覽，到現在的線上導覽，透過數位化把藝術無牆化，此外也將圖像、實物與文字語言緊密結合，這不僅是跳脫出時間與空間的框架，更讓欣賞者對原作進行體驗。藝術的欣賞，影響了人的生活，誠如古諺所說：「美是到處都有的。對於我們的眼睛，不是缺少美，而是缺少發現。(羅丹)」這種藝術般的態度，讓我們的生命，多了份美的厚實感。

在第二堂「西方傳統與現代雕塑欣賞及台灣現象」中，我對於台灣藝術欣賞部分比較多感觸，台灣有不少街景藝術、印刷藝術、甚或美術館裡的藝術展覽，但似乎在導覽方面欠缺均衡以及品質。舉例來說，街景藝術是我們較常接觸的，只是這種擺置戶外，在媒材的選擇與維護上都受到強烈考驗，而導覽上，沒有辦法安排人力曝曬在艷陽下解說，那只好透過看牌或者紙本解說，不過如果將街景藝術成功引進線上導覽，相信文化與藝術的滲透力，將會大大地影響全民。

[作業-學習心得] 拜訪蔡根

今天,我們一行人,繞進了淡金公路旁的山間小路,探訪三芝在地藝術家---蔡根

我一直對藝術家有種浪漫的幻想,想說他們會不會住在詩情畫意的小莊園裡,誘惑著他們可能會用竹林把自己的家包覆的跟古代讀書人家一般.

當我們到達蔡根老師的家之後,我定睛一瞧,一開始,映入眼簾的只是一間稍微大了一點的獨棟透天厝以及一隻活潑的小狗在旁吠著,

沒什麼特別的地方,

但隨著我慢慢走近這棟屋子,我發現到庭園中放置著幾個看起來頗特別的雕塑,而在游泳池的另一端則是一間看似木工工作坊的小屋.

在師母熱情的邀請下,我們進入了玄關,撲面而來的就是各式各樣的藝術品!

小的可以用一手捧起,大的直上天花板,進入一邊的展示間之後又是幾十件作品,或完成或沒完成,

蔡根老師是以生活中的各種小物品來當作製作素材,因此這些作品並不會讓我們這些”凡夫俗子”產生太大的疏離感,

但在平凡之中,我卻可以清楚地感受到他們釋放出來的平衡感及美感.

接著是老師對於他創作的身涯的介紹,老師會走上藝術創作其實是由很多意外所造成的,

而老師在這創作的路上,其實也經歷過了許多波折,有高潮,也有低谷.在整個演講中,

讓我印象最深刻的就是老師說了

”一路上,你可能會覺得你的選擇很多,但其實那都是假的!你真正的選擇只有一個…”

我覺得這點跟所謂的”天命”很像,

我們必須找到我們在這個世界中的價值,並把他彰顯至極大,我想蔡根老師的作品也是在傳達一樣的事吧?!
