我就喜歡這樣的妳

藝術是國際語言，無論你到哪一個國家，當你說起某件作品，就可以產生連結，在跨領域當道的教學現場，不妨讓美流進您的教室，帶領學生欣賞美，創造美。

感謝  Betty 老師的引導，讓我對於藝術與語言學習的關聯更近了一步，而產出了這篇文章。 Betty 老師在她服務的學校有帶英語繪本社團，每個學期會有不同的主題帶入，給予學生除了語言學習之外，也帶入豐富的藝文素養。同時，感謝我的人生經歷，讓我畢業前還能有機會獲選讓我可以到法國交換學生兩個月，除了學習法文同時也有機會在巴黎待上兩個星期，在法國的日子，吸收了很多藝術的養分，之後出國的時侯，都會特地去博物館看看美術作品。2019年獲選為fulbright 讓我去美國當大學生同時也是華文老師，修課的時候，特別修了 AMERICAN ART 補充我在藝術界不足的知識。

  The Noisy Paint Box: The Colors and Sounds of Kandinsky’s Abstract Art

A Caldecott Honor Book

Vasya Kandinsky was a proper little boy: he studied math and history, he practiced the piano, he sat up straight and was perfectly polite. And when his family sent him to art classes, they expected him to paint pretty houses and flowers--like a proper artist.  But as Vasya opened his paint box and began mixing the reds, the yellows, the blues, he heard a strange sound--the swirling colors trilled like an orchestra tuning up for a symphony And as he grew older, he continued to hear brilliant colors singing and see vibrant sounds dancing. But was Vasya brave enough to put aside his proper still lifes and portraits and paint . . . music?  In this exuberant celebration of creativity, Barb Rosenstock and Mary GrandPr tell the fascinating story of Vasily Kandinsky, one of the very first painters of abstract art. Throughout his life, Kandinsky experienced colors as sounds, and sounds as colors--and bold, groundbreaking works burst forth from his noisy paint box.

   Magritte’s Marvelous Hat

"Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see." --Rene Magritte

D.B. Johnson writes and illustrates the surreal story of famous surrealist painter Rene Magritte and his very mysterious (and mischievous ) hat. While the art reflects some of Magritte's own work, the text sets readers on a fun and accessible path to learning about the simpler concepts behind Mr. Magritte's work.

This delightful picture book captures the playfulness and the wonderment of surrealist art. Four transparent pages add yet another level of surrealism to the illustrations as pictures can be altered with the turn of a page.

 Action Jackson

One late spring morning the American artist Jackson Pollock began work on the canvas that would ultimately come to be known as Number 1, 1950 (Lavender Mist).

Award-winning authors Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan use this moment as the departure point for a unique picture book about a great painter and the way in which he worked. Their lyrical text, drawn from Pollock's own comments and those made by members of his immediate circle, is perfectly complemented by vibrant watercolors by Robert Andrew Parker that honor his spirit of the artist without imitating his paintings.

A photographic reproduction of the finished painting, a short biography, a bibliography, and a detailed list of notes and sources that are fascinating reading in their own right make this an authoritative as well as beautiful book for readers of all ages

  Matisse’s Garden , published by The Museum of Modern Art
