國小校園公共藝術之初探

A Preliminary Study of Public Art on Elementary School Campuses

隨著校園規劃朝向多元變革的風潮，以及行政院文建會的積極推動，國小校園公共藝術日趨重要與備受重視。對國小師生而言，校園空間內的公共藝術不應只是美化校園的藝術品，或是閒置空間的裝飾物，應該在學校經營、師生互動與教學等方面有更深層的意涵。本文以國小校園公共藝術為主題，發現校園公共藝術是複雜的概念，學校場域展現、成員參與、教育意涵與藝術表現為其要素，並有六項特性與四項功能值得重視。此外，也從作品形式、材質、設置地點、展示期間與參與方式等方面，檢視國內一些國小校園公共藝術實例，並據以提出改進建議。

Due to the active promotions from the Council for Cultural Affairs and the trend of diverse changes in campus planning， public art on campus has become more important and popular in elementary schools. But for elementary school students and teachers， public art on campus does not just mean displaying artistic productions and decorations in campus spaces. It should also involve some deeper meanings regarding school management， teachers-students interaction and instruction. Therefore， this paper discusses public art on elementary school campuses. It shows that public art on campus is a complex concept which includes four elements: placement in campus spaces， participation of school members， educational meanings， and aesthetic performance. Six major characteristics and four crucial functions concerning public art on campus are also discussed. Furthermore， the paper analyses concrete examples of public art in elementary schools in terms of its material forms， placements， exhibitions， and processes of participation. The conclusion proposes some suggestions to improve public art on elementary school campuses.
