看到一所學校的美感實踐

美感是人類精神層次的感性認知，是心靈淨化、靈魂甦醒的過程，進而達到全人發展的結果，美感也與國家的競爭力息息相關，其價值超越可見的物質，學校是培育孩子適應未來的重要場所，美感自然不能隔絕於外。校園美感空間有著「美感環境與媒材整合」、「美感環境與課程結合」、「美感環境與時代結合」的特質，也有「功能性」、「象徵性」、「協調性」、「連結性」與「啟發性」等特性，校園美感實踐可分為「過程」、「形式」、「方式」、「材質」、「內容」、「人員」等範疇。容易被忽略的閒置教室、樓梯間、廊道、柱面、牆面是美感的發生地，也是涵養美感能力的空間。後現代文化一個小寫哲學的文化，將新思想和創造精神不斷注入我們的生活，校園風貌也將因此變得多元豐富。要呈現具有校園在地人文特色與和諧的設計，除了學校行政單位與廠商之外，也需要邀請校內藝術相關人員一起加入執行團隊，實踐富有在地人文的校園美感。
