[作業-學習心得] 參觀朱銘美術館2

This is the second time for me to visit Ju-Ming Museum. What makes this visit special is the new artworks of Living World Series -Imprisonment. There are four "jails", and one of them is black and white with two people imprisoned in it.

When I first saw this sculpture, a word came to my mind---"separate". Some say "every body is like an island." It is not a maxim, but from time to time I think of this sentence, and can not deny it. We are in an age of internet, and communication has been easier and easier for modern people, but we are getting lonelier and lonelier. I can tell it by the increasing rate of divorce and there are more people than ever who are addicted in the internet, connecting to the virtual world instead of real world, real person.

Ju-Ming's artwork may convey similar messages. Even though two people are in one jail, they still have their own "territories". However, this kind of boundary is invisible and can be broken only if we step forward, reaching our hands to each other.

There is a stele on the floor of the jail, saying " The hell is in the world, and paradise is there, too. Wherever you go is depending on your minds."(地獄在人間，人間有天堂，問君何處去？但憑一念間) It needs just a thought to come down from your fences and embrace this world. I hope I can keep this thought in mind.

[藝術創作]貓

        一開始的構想只是因為拿到了超輕土，很愉快得帶回家想要給我弟玩。但是後來發現我弟根本視而不見，為了成功引誘他去玩，老姐我只好率先示範玩給他看。

       會選擇貓這個主題，一開始主要是受到蔡師母的創作影響。她所創作的貓看起來造型簡單又可愛至極，樸實中帶有童趣。於是，結果就是你們看到的"貓"。

       回想創作的心情，應當是好奇愉快中又帶點不甘心，就像是貓的眼神，對世界充滿了渴求與不服輸，有點畏怯，有點茫然。

[藝術創作]情緒、自我表達_葉育欣

這幅畫的是正面情緒:以暖色系的顏色，淺淺淡淡地引出我喜樂的心情，如同在旋律中蕩漾的音符，亦如果實一苞一苞地躲藏著我喜悅的歡樂。













這幅畫的是負面情緒:以暗色系帶出沉悶的心情，一片一片不規則的色塊，象徵各式各樣負面情緒，彼此堆壓推擠，鑲嵌且糾結在一塊。

[作業-學習心得] 拜訪唐國樑

唐國樑教授參訪心得
如果會被天氣影響心情，那你就去當老天爺就好了阿…
當聽到唐老師這麼說的時候，其實我很驚訝!因為我原本以為藝術家、詩人都是很敏感、情感豐富的一群人，但我沒想到，因為是專業，所以他們不能被天氣左右了心情；因為是專家，所以不能等靈感!這讓我深深的反省了這一年多來生活在三芝的種種態度，同樣生活在三芝，我的心情卻常常隨著天氣有雨悲情喜的變化，會討厭下雨，討厭從不放晴的冬天，就把所有不順心的事情都怪罪到了天氣之上，但現在仔細的想想，其實好心情的事可以自己決定的，用正面開心的態度去面對，心情的好壞與天氣何干?而國樑老師又提到了和蔡根教授很雷同的觀念，他說:「作品不是要用眼睛去看的，而是要用心去感受」，我想也許除了在藝術的領域是這樣之外，其實人與人之間的相處，面對事情的態度也是這樣，我們不能只看事情的表面，不能只看表向，而是要深入的去感受別人的用心，去感受別人還有自己做這件事情的態度，有的時候與人相處上的摩擦雖然會讓人很沮喪或是不太開心，但是如果用心的去體會，就會發現其實大部分的摩擦都是因為大家很希望能夠把事情做好，只是大家認為的好標準不一樣而已!唐老師的家，把工作融入生活的感覺其時也別有一番風味，也許那正是人人羨慕的工作形式吧?!
而且去了經過了唐老師的介紹後我才發現，原來做樂器其實很不容易，老師為了把陶笛還有其他的樂器做好，還要考慮到體積縮減的問題(原本是做碗，結果窯燒出來變成了杯子XD)，還有很特別的鼓，都大大的拓展了我的眼界!這次真的很感謝老師送我們這麼可愛的杯子(我一定會好好收藏的)滿滿的收穫，雖然是在大考前夕，還是很開心^^ 希望下次能有機會去實際玩玩陶!

My reflections

I think that it might be a good idea to introduce the story of the painting, because it can bring audiences further into the situation and the feeling what the author wanted to express through the painting. Besides, I really appreciated the music playing right after the audio guidance, it fit in with the situation very well, I think it might be a hard work for me to made a music just like this! And it’s very special to put the audio guidance’s own name on the video much bigger than the painting and the painter’s name., although I don’t realize the reason why the guidance put his own name on the screen I think not to have the name of a guide precede over the painter’s is an import reminder for me. Always we do our best to interpret the drawing, which is our main purposeb, so it would be better to show the guide’s name in another proper way.

Website I visited	Self-Portrait with Palette by Pablo Ruiz y Picasso http://www.philamuseum.org/collections/permanent/50947.html
What language content I have learned (vocabulary/sentence/…)	1. hardy [adj.] 能吃苦耐勞的、勇敢的
My reflections	The portrait casting the 25 years old painter is thought to be a master piece not only because of its lively image but also the idea it conveys. Some may say that brushes are the weapons of the painters just as pens are the weapons of the writers. However, Picasso doesn’t think so. He painted a artist only with a palette but without a brush, implying it is the hand, the skill, the artist, and the idea in his head that really matter! The audio tour of this piece is relatively normal. The guide talks about the background and the structure of the painting. He also shares his own opinion on this painting. However, all of these are just “so so,” because they do not impress me at all.

Website I visited	The National Gallery: on Project 'Transcriptions: Sound’ “Trojan Horse” by Matthew Davies (http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/learning/inspired-by-the-collection/sound/*/chooseMedia/23/)
What language content I have learned (vocabulary/sentence/…)	1. jovial [adj.] 愉快的 2.frantic [adj.] 發狂似的 [(+with)] 3. inspection[n.] 審視
My reflections	The painting vividly illustrates the scene of the well-known story, the Trojan Horse. The author of this painting uses the image to express not only the visual scene but also the atmosphere in the story. The horse in the middle of the painting is the focus of the image. It has a lifelike muscle curve and bristle. The gestures of the people are cheerful, and a kind of ignorant of what’s going to happen to their city. Although the whole painting is bright, there is a black shadow on the top of the wooden horse. The shadow may signify the coming disaster brought by the horse or the ferocious mood of the warriors in the horse. The audio tour uses a piece of music to guide us into the painting, and into the stomach of the horse, and then it bounce back to the hustle and bustle. There are also some sound effects of sharpening knives, inferring that a big fight is around the corner. In a word, this audio tour indeed makes me understand more about the Trojan Horse by Matthew Davies, and I can take a leaf out of his book.

[作業-學習心得] 參觀朱銘美術館

Before this lecture, I've learned some information about Ju-Ming and visited Ju-Ming Museum this summer. I like the museum and his artwork very much, such as Taichi Series and Living World Series. However, I did not notice the materials Ju-Ming uses until Professor Lee told us in this lecture. That is why this lecture really amazed me, showing me a new vision of arts.

Without this lecture, I would never know Ju-Ming carves on styrofoam first and then cover them with bronze, leaving the texture of styrofoam on the metal, which becomes his unique style. I have heard about that, but never understood it, until Professor Lee showed us the video recording the process that Ju-Ming completed his artworks. In the beginning of the class, Professor Lee wanted us to compare Ju-Ming's different sculptures with the same title. Through her explanation, I realized why artists often did many pieces of the same subject.

The key point is material. Ju-Ming is a talented artist who can bring natural characteristics into play. The sculpture will give viewers warm feelings if he carves in wood, but cool feelings if in bronze. Finding the new possibilities of materials is how artists surmount themselves, and is also what makes Ju-Ming a master.

[作業-學習心得] 參觀朱銘美術館

不同於前幾天的風雨交加，今天太陽難得露臉。在經過約莫一個鐘頭的車程，抵達了我從未拜訪過的「朱銘美術館」。

朱銘美術館占地11甲，展覽區就占了8甲。如此大的展覽空間，卻安排的有條不紊，既沒有荒蕪，更不會有壅擠的情形。

我們沿途看了第一展覽室的人間系列、向三軍致敬的作品，一直到朱銘先生最為人所稱道的太極系列。作品很多都是用青銅為材料，最不一樣的是朱銘先生的兩個「丟」。第一個「丟」，朱銘先生放下了過去學雕刻細膩的刀法，面對堆砌成一個人，甚至高過一個人的保麗龍塊，他以電鋸大刀切下。作品變得更為雄偉，卻不失真；第二個「丟」，是丟掉顏色。朱銘先生一改為作品上色的方式，將其塗成全白。如此的改變可能會讓人不知道這個作品的表情、穿著。然而，這也讓整個作品的外型和線條更被凸顯，無疑是個成功的改變。

朱銘對於兩個恩師都十分感念，一個是為他打下精湛的雕刻技巧的師傅李金川先生；另一個是引領他走出自己的風格，柔和太極的美到藝術中的楊英風先生。這過去的所有回憶，被放在美術館本館的二樓，足見朱銘先生對兩位恩師的感念。

對於前輩感念，朱銘對藝術教育也是不遺餘力。藝術長廊給予年輕藝術家發揮的機會，館區內也有很多讓兒童有親手創作的機會。

朱銘美術館是朱銘先生的一個夢，秉持著對於藝術的熱愛，他圓了這個夢。同樣的，我相信也是有很多人看到他的路程，進而也堅持完成自己的夢。

打從在許多展覽被朱銘老師的太極系列及人間系列的裝置藝術撼動後，參觀朱銘美術館，便是件令我期待的事情。只是昨天以前低溫下雨的氣候，讓我不禁為此事禱告許久，很奇妙的感動，今天竟然不雨也不算太冷。
朱銘老師是苗栗通霄人，苗栗三義木雕的聞名，讓這位從小就拜師的學徒，有幸從學徒、師傅、經歷跳脫傳統刻神像的工作，到與時代接軌的文化藝術家。從參觀中，便不難察覺朱銘老師是一個時代的紀錄者，入口的複合媒彩作品，以當時選舉的布條、報紙、旗幟拼貼然後創作，便可將時代意涵融入藝術中，有文字、有創作、更有生命的紀錄。三軍系列，融入了朱銘老師當兵的記憶，以及那時代目睹的政治情勢，粗獷的刀法也有細膩的歷史乘載;降落傘兵，利用海綿綁綑，製造肌肉豐盈的立體感，也是複合媒材展現的極致。人間系列透過木雕快速。刀法，逗趣地描繪市儈生活；發人深省的囚系列，黑籠的鎖頭在外、黑白籠的相間，到白籠的鎖頭在內，黑籠內的是觸犯法律的囚犯，只是白籠內的是一對新婚夫妻，事情的黑與白，往往取決於自己。
感謝導覽姊姊的協助，讓我們在短時間內能接觸與體會到朱銘美術館的精隨，雖然時間倉促，不過，朱銘美術館內不斷更新的展覽與藝術，也是讓下一次的參觀更具期待性。

記2010年12月7日及14日「發現三芝地方藝術創作心」

繼上次兩個星期帶我們初窺藝術殿堂，李美蓉老師貼心的為我們即將拜訪的朱銘美術館作了一個很實用的簡介。

其中的太極系列的雕塑令人印象深刻。僅僅因為用不同的材料，同樣一個「單邊下勢」的姿勢，居然同時有著動和靜兩種可以說是相反的氣勢。太極這種柔和至極的藝術，卻用剛硬至極的銅來表現，而且表現的如此恰到，毋怪是藝術中的傑作。

另外，我們也看了太極拱門的製作過程。這種如此巨大的藝術品，是朱銘設計，在由鑄銅師一塊一塊鑄好後拼成。過去我們作一些作品時，常常會去修一些小細節。我很好奇，朱銘沒有自己親手鑄造，怎麼顧及那些焊接的部分呢？我想，藝術到了如此巨大的時後，藝術家就像建築師一樣，給予的是整個藝術品的精神和主要的結構，細節自然會有專業的技師完成。因為他所想要表達的意涵，由整個藝術品的構造外型便可以清楚的傳達了。這樣的藝術，的確很另類。

一週之後，蔡教授的先生為我們講解關於李梅樹大師的紀念美術館。李梅樹先生的作品很多都是以台灣本土的人物、動物或是風景為主題。那種恬靜的畫風，一位曾經留學日本，受到良好的文化教育，氣宇非凡的畫家的影像，便不自覺的浮現在腦海中。李梅樹先生對於台灣的藝術界有很大的影響。不論是提攜後進、文化保存都是他所致力的。三峽祖師廟之所以到現在成為一個文教性的建築，要歸功於李梅樹先生，以及他那份對藝術的執著。

Stop 313: Model of Cow Giving Birth, Egypt
Galleries of Africa: Egypt

What language content I have learned (vocabulary/sentence/…)
From the sound artist:
1. figurine 小雕像
2. These could act as back-up substitutes for offerings of real food
預備的
3. Birth is a sign of entering a new existence in the Afterworld
出生在來世 中使一種進入新存在的象徵
4. The carver has cleverly chosen the actual moment of birth to ensure eternal re-birth
雕刻家很清楚地選擇出生的實際剎那，來確定永恆的重生
5. on a more prosaic level 以一個更散文式的層次
6. draught animals役畜

My reflections 　　
This video tour likes a traveling that takes me to the old Egypt’s Kingdom. In the beginning, the speaker describes the material and time of the artwork briefly without any background music. Then, the traditional Egypt music is integrated in the tour guide, which makes the tour guide more vivid rather than focus on the main point.
In the view of the material, it is very rare to find in the tomb because of the wood of this artwork. Therefore, it is much meaningful to introduce it to the world. The story describes the birth of a calf. However, the tour guide not only states its outward shape but also puts an emphasis on the further meaning of the eternality of re-birth. I learn a good lesson from this tour guide and I should take advantage of the keen power of my observation to broaden my vision of the beauty of art.
To sum up, appreciating art is like a journey , where I can explore what I do not know. Regardless of its material, size, or color, I should seize every chance to take down touching things, while appreciating the art.

Website I visited	Madonna and Child, Pietro Lamberti, Europe http://www.rom.on.ca/media/audio/flash.php?stop=300
What language content I have learned (vocabulary/sentence/…)	From the sound artist: 1. Charm 魅力 2. Gallery 畫廊 3. Medieval 中世紀的 4. Anonymous 匿名的 5. Shifting 移 6. Rigid 死板、呆板、僵硬 7. Naturalism 自然主義 8. Draperies 窗簾 9. Ornamental 裝飾
My reflections	The statue was made at a time when people fevered in worshipping Madonna. In this sculpture you can see Madonna holds her child tightly. It depicts Madonna’s maternal love. And the quality of the material also makes me feel warm and fragrant. On the other hand, the drapery of Madonna’s dress is so vivid that I can image that it is flying. Besides the description of the sculpture, the music of background matches with the display of the statue. I think it would be a great model of internet guide.

2010/12/14上課心得_李梅樹介紹_葉育欣

今天授課的講員是Lucy老師的先生，來介紹李梅樹老師紀念館以及畫作。
記憶中，我國中時曾到訪李梅樹紀念館，那時對於李梅樹先生的背景沒有很深的了解，僅止於對部分李梅樹先生寫實畫作有印象。其餘的印象，就是三峽有間祖師廟、以及外頭老街可以逛。時光荏苒，李梅樹老師的畫作再度進入我的記憶裡。師丈的介紹，李梅樹先生的畫作，深受其赴日習畫的訓練影響，紮實發揮在人體解構與光影的拿捏，無怪乎李梅樹先生可以透過各式媒材:油畫、素描、水彩，來呈現寫實印象派的畫風。道理亦然，在學習路上，無論美術、醫學，學的很多都是最根本的功夫，如何發揮仍是要構築在穩健基石上，才可以恣意行舟。
觀看李梅樹先生的畫作，不難發現主題多是:家人、裸女、以及風景。從網站上的賞析與故事，漸漸地了解到畫作的呈現，是受到個人經歷以及時代背景深深影響。經歷日治、戰後的政治轉捩點，時代背景與政局穩定與否，牽動著藝術呈現軌跡。欣賞李梅樹先生的畫作，猶如在看到一道時間軌上的電影，不變的是年月日，變的是我們的觸角如何思維、如何感受。
