The National Taiwan Arts Education Center has launched an annual themed exhibition on aesthetic experience this summer, titled "My Art Classroom." The exhibition is divided into two main sections: "Activate - Aesthetic DNA" and "See - Aesthetic in Progress," showcasing various innovative methods and forms of art education, allowing visitors to deeply understand the diversity and experimental nature of aesthetic education.
In the first exhibition hall, "Activate - Aesthetic DNA," visitors will start exploring the world of aesthetics from "The Scale of Beauty - Proportion." This section features multiple interactive displays, allowing a direct experience of the golden ratio's application in nature, architecture, and art. Additionally, a three-dimensional version of Leonardo da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man" is showcased, enabling visitors to stand on the shoulders of a master and gain a deeper understanding of the beauty and philosophical significance of human proportions.

The second exhibition hall, "See - Aesthetic in Progress," presents three aesthetic living spaces in an illustration style. The "Aesthetic Living Room" showcases concepts of color and proportion, teaching visitors how to integrate aesthetics into daily life. This space features the "70:25:5" color proportion teaching results and artworks by artists intertwining the 24 solar terms culture with colors. The "Aesthetic Studio" displays the texture collection of everyday objects, highlighting the idea that even manhole covers can become street art, presenting local aesthetics and cultural characteristics.
The exhibition involves the collaboration of six art teachers from elementary and junior high schools: Chen Yu-Ying, Liao Jian-Ming, Chen Yu-Chun, Li Jing-Mei, Jian Hong-Ying, and Lin Han-Rong. These teachers incorporate rich practical experiences and creative inspirations into their teaching, making aesthetic education more than just a transmission of techniques but a comprehensive aesthetic enlightenment. They guide students to discover beauty in life, and stimulate their creativity and aesthetic abilities, showcasing the fruitful results of Taiwan's aesthetic education.
To provide more participation opportunities for the audience, the National Taiwan Arts Education Center has organized a series of workshops during the exhibition. Participants can use brushes, paints, and various mixed media to create their own artwork. Through sensory experiences, they learn to express beauty in art, gaining aesthetic experience subtly.
This exhibition will continue until September 22, inviting everyone to explore the infinite possibilities of aesthetics together. For more information on related activities, please visit the National Taiwan Arts Education Center's website.
