摘要

本文之動機是要嘗試將作者過去田野研究及教學工作之體驗，轉化為有益藝術教育實務的討論。本文之目標是倡議大學通識教育中藝術教育的部份，應首先實施生活藝術教育。本文的內容分為三部份，第一部份是討論作者個人研究與教學之感想。第二部份是根據此感想來建構「生活藝術教育架構圖」，並討論生活藝術教育的特質“第三部份，則提出生活藝術教育的初部施行方式。作者希望藉此生活藝術教育來增進大學生在藝術教育上的自主性，能充份感受藝術之樂，之後再談藝術知識淵博與否。對個人而言，進可轉入專業生涯，退可終生自娛。就大環境而言，生活藝術教育則有益台灣整體藝術生態之完成，與多元文化之茁壯發展。

並列摘要

Proposed as a part of liberal education in Taiwanese higher education institutions, the author tried to promote an idea of art education for life. Based on ideas derived from three previous ethnographic studies an first- hand teaching experience, she constructed a ”diagram of art education for life.” In the diagram, she placed the life art as the basis of all other forms of Taiwanese art which included academic, commercial, and folk art. She claimed that life art is art as one sees it. It grows out of common or uncommon hobbies but pursued with the kind of attitude as though a connoisseur. In an art education for life, Taiwanese college students can form their induividualized niche that is both enriching, satisfying and autonomous. For those who wish to turn art into career they can, grounded on their experience in life art, go on more specialized training in any of the three kinds of art. Only they have to realize that moving away from life art, they are gradually compromising their autonomy to accept the socialization of different art worlds. The installation of life art, it was believed, could bridge the gap between art education and Taiwanese life. It could help to raise the Taiwanese standard of living in the qualitative sense by helping the average people enjoy art.
