透過閱讀與研究、課堂的討論與研究書寫、與同學及老師的對話過程培養學生個人在議題關心、創作發展、以及觀察與思辨的能力。
從課堂相互討論分享作品，加上期末邀請業界專業人員參與評圖的方式讓學生從中練習對話、溝通以及思辨，並經驗不同觀點與角度的作品詮釋方式。老師帶領學生從閱讀研究中認識視覺藝術概念，透過期中、期末兩種不同報告的研究寫作，可讓學生檢視自身創作的方向、概念、手法，並對未來的發展有所助益。

Through reading and research, class discussion and research book writing, conversation with classmates and teachers, students' personal abilities to focus on topics, develop creatively, and observe and think.
The way of discussing and sharing works from class to class, and the method of inviting professionals from the industry to participate in the evaluation at the end of the period allows students to practice dialogue, communication and thinking from within, and experience the way of writing commentary from different perspectives and angles. The teacher leads students to understand the concept of visual art from reading research. Through research writings of two different reports in the middle and end periods, students can view the direction, concept and techniques of their own creation, and are helpful to future development.

本課程為研究所跨領域創作課程，強調不以媒介/媒材區隔的藝術創作概念。透過閱讀及書寫，補充學生在當代藝術創作所需知識和創作論述表達；透過評圖，統整學生創作企圖、媒介技法、訊息溝通之經驗。本課程可做為學生藝術創作職涯發展之準備。

This course is a cross-domain creative course for the institute, emphasizing the concept of artistic creation that is not separated by media/media. Through reading and writing, students can supplement their knowledge and creative statements required for contemporary art creation; through reviews, they can integrate students' experience in creative illustrations, media techniques, and information communication. This course can be used as a preparation for the development of students' artistic creation career.
