Dream World: Art from the Inside Out

A surreal, sparkly, strange, and soft journey through imagination, memory, and wonder.

Introduction 課程介紹

After the bright and bold world of POP! Back Into Art, Bird & Fish now invites young artists to turn inward—to explore the worlds that live inside their own imaginations.

在繽紛鮮明的《POP! Back Into Art 普普藝術》結束之後，Bird & Fish 邀請小小藝術家們把視線轉向內在——去探索自己想像裡的世界。

This new theme, Dream World: Art from the Inside Out, helps students shift from observing the outside world to expressing their inner one. Where Pop Art was about what we see every day—ads, comics, and celebrity culture—Dream World is about what we feel, remember, and imagine.

本期新主題《Dream World：Art from the Inside Out》，帶領孩子們從普普藝術「觀察外在世界」，轉向「表達內在的想法」。如果 Pop Art 是描繪我們每天所見——廣告、漫畫、名人文化；那麼 Dream World，則是關於我們的感受、記憶與夢想。

What They’ll Learn 孩子會學習什麼

Through artists such as Salvador Dalí, Istvan Bányai, and Ruth Asawa, students will learn to:

透過超現實主義藝術家 薩爾瓦多・達利（Salvador Dalí）、
「小鏡頭外的大世界」繪本創作家伊斯特凡・班亞伊（Istvan Bányai）、
以及以金屬線雕塑聞名的日裔美國藝術家露絲・阿莎娃（Ruth Asawa） 的作品啟發，
孩子們將學習——

• See the ordinary become extraordinary through perspective and transformation.
•  學習如何在藝術中運用構圖與距離，讓平凡的事物變得吸引人。
• Discover how art can capture feelings, ideas, and dreams—not just appearances.
• 學習如何把腦中的想像、記憶與真實世界組合成完整的畫面。
• Build confidence in experimenting with unusual materials and meanings.
• 理解藝術可以不只是畫出來的，也可以藉由立體創作構構出來。

By the end of this cycle, each student will have created their own Dream World—a collection of imaginative works that express not just what they can see, but what they can dream.

在這一階段課程的最後，每位學生都將完成屬於自己的 Dream World ——
呈現的不只是他們「看見」的世界，更是孩子的「夢想創意」的世界。

What We’ll Make  我們將創作的作品

• Zoom In / Zoom Out Panels (伊斯特凡・班亞伊 Istvan Bányai)
  Tell a story by shifting scale and perspective—each frame reveals a new surprise.   透過縮放視角來畫出故事——每一個畫面都藏著新的驚喜。
• Dream Logic Collage (薩爾瓦多・達利 Salvador Dalí)
  Combine unexpected images and symbols to create a surreal scene with meaning.結合圖像與符號，創造一個充滿夢境邏輯與象徵意義的超現實場景。
• Drawings in the Air (露絲・阿莎娃 Ruth Asawa – 線材創作)
  Build airy sculptures where line becomes form.用線條網子在空氣中「畫畫」，讓線條變成有形的雕塑。
• Dream Forms in Clay (露絲・阿莎娃 Ruth Asawa – 陶土創作)
  Pinch, coil, repeat: grow organic shapes that feel alive.捏、繞、重複，讓陶土變成一個有生命的自然形狀。

Explorers (Ages 5–8): playful combos, big shapes, sensory materials, story-led making.

Creators (Ages 9–12): symbolism, composition, scale games, sketch → build process.

Skills They’ll Grow  孩子將學習到的能力

• Imagination → Idea Design: turn “what if?” into visual stories
• 想像力 → 創意設計力：把「如果可以……？」想像力，轉化為有故事性的視覺畫面。
• Composition & Scale: zoom, crop, and viewpoint choices that guide the eye
• 構圖與比例感：學會縮放、裁切與視角安排，讓欣賞者的目光被作品引導。
• Symbol & Metaphor: pictures that mean more than they show
• 象徵與隱喻：理解圖像不只是「畫出來的東西」，而是更能「表達更深的意思」。
• 3D Thinking: line as structure (wire), form & texture (clay)
• 空間思考力：以線條構築結構（網子創作），用陶土探索形狀與材質。
• Process Muscles: sketch, prototype, refine, present
• 創作過程的練習：從草圖到成型、從修改到完成，學會思考、嘗試與呈現自己的作品。
