《青銅藝術傳承與創新》的課程設計，旨在通過十八個課時梳理青銅藝術的傳承源流，展現青銅藝術在各歷史階段呈現的樣態特徵、工藝特徵以及所承載的文化資訊。分單元講解與動手製作體驗給聽課者一個相對清晰的青銅藝術圖譜和一次感受并體驗傳統青銅藝術的機會。在瞭解傳統工藝方法的基礎上，通過一定的動手實訓，連接現代美學觀念，探求新的青銅藝術創新路徑。課程完成後，以期達到“有若干共同探討的課題或有一部分或獨立或合作的創作作品誕生”。
飛火流金，璀璨青銅。青銅藝術是傳統造型藝術之一，摶土成人，火煉成金，輝煌三代，展示出青銅的絕世之美。走出石器時代之後，人類憑藉自身的智慧發明了青銅，它是人類走出石器時代之後第一個真正代表人類文明的載體，歷史上作為“青銅時代”的夏商周三代，其文明的輝煌光亮就折射在青銅的光芒裡。青銅器經歷了千年的時光，到今天更被人們看作是那個遠古時代留下的偉大的藝術品。它不僅具有生活等實用價值，而且具有陳設欣賞的藝術價值。青銅器主要指商、西周、春秋和戰國時期銅錫或銅錫鉛合金鑄造的器物，包括工具、兵器、炊器、食器、酒器、水器、樂器、銅鏡、度量衡器等。青銅藝術即指銅器的鑄造工藝、外在造型及裝飾紋樣所形成的藝術特色。它綜合了繪畫、雕塑、圖案和工藝美術，是造型視覺傳達藝術中較獨特的藝術形式。
傳統青銅藝術以中國古代青銅器為代例，流行於新石器時代晚期至秦漢時代，以商周器物最為精美。夏前最初出現的是小型工具或飾物。夏代始有青銅容器和兵器。商中期，青銅器品種已很豐富，並出現了銘文和精細的花紋。商晚期至西周早期，是青銅器發展的鼎盛時期，器型多種多樣，渾厚凝重，銘文逐漸加長，花紋繁褥富麗。隨後，青銅器胎體開始變薄，紋飾逐漸簡化。奏漢時期，隨著瓷器和漆器進入日常生活，銅器品種減少，裝飾簡單，多為素面，胎體也更為輕薄。中國青銅器的數量不可勝數，種類繁多。三代青銅器延續時間也非常之長，共約1600餘年，形成了中國歷史上的“青銅時代”。
在紛繁複雜青銅藝術遺存裡遴選出有代表性符號的作品，將青銅藝術審美流變與工藝方法的演變逐步闡述。從史論到表徵，從造型、紋飾、銘文的藝術表現到環境雕塑、作品個性化創作及製作工藝，從青銅藝術理論與實踐再到作品欣賞，我們試圖窺一斑而洞全豹，對青銅藝術做一次且行且停的旅行。
瞭解青銅藝術過去是青銅藝術的未來做鋪陳，動手體驗、實習是創新的重要過程。課程計劃將用若干課時在必要的條件下，以各自的觀念、實踐部分作品。其中有塑形、制模、模擬澆鑄，冷鍛銅浮雕、鏨刻以及各式工具的製作體驗。其中穿插描摹青銅紋飾，體驗青銅紋飾器形的內在聯繫與韻律變化等教學內容。
青銅藝術創作以新的個案、研討作品創作的方式展開，特別是在青銅藝術的應用方面，有針對性的在場域色彩及一切青銅器可能應用範圍中探索推演，包括環境藝術、文創產品。The course design of "Inheritance and Innovation of Bronze Art" aims to sort out the inheritance and origin of bronze art through 18 classes, and to show the shape and craft characteristics of bronze art in various historical stages, as well as the cultural information it carries. The unit-based explanation and hands-on production experience give the listeners a relatively clear picture of bronze art and an opportunity to feel and experience traditional bronze art. On the basis of understanding traditional craft methods, through certain hands-on training, we can connect with modern aesthetic concepts and explore new innovative paths for bronze art. After the course is completed, it is expected to achieve "a number of jointly discussed topics or the birth of some independent or collaborative creative works."
Flying fire, flowing gold, dazzling bronze. Bronze art is one of the traditional plastic arts. It is made from clay and made into gold by fire. It has been glorious for three generations, showing the peerless beauty of bronze. After walking out of the Stone Age, humans relied on their own wisdom to invent bronze. It was the first carrier that truly represented human civilization after walking out of the Stone Age. Historically, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, as the "Bronze Age", saw the brilliance of their civilization. Refracted in the light of bronze. Bronze ware has experienced thousands of years, and today it is regarded as a great work of art left by that ancient era. It not only has practical value such as life, but also has artistic value for display appreciation. Bronze ware mainly refers to objects cast from copper-tin or copper-tin-lead alloy during the Shang, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, including tools, weapons, cooking vessels, food vessels, wine vessels, water vessels, musical instruments, bronze mirrors, measuring instruments, etc. Bronze art refers to the artistic features formed by the casting process, external shape and decorative patterns of bronze vessels. It combines painting, sculpture, pattern and arts and crafts, and is a unique art form among plastic visual communication arts.
Traditional bronze art is exemplified by ancient Chinese bronzes, which were popular from the late Neolithic Age to the Qin and Han dynasties, with the Shang and Zhou ware being the most exquisite. What first appeared before summer were small tools or ornaments. Bronze containers and weapons began to appear in the Xia Dynasty. In the mid-Shang Dynasty, the variety of bronzes was very rich, and inscriptions and fine patterns appeared. From the late Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty, it was the heyday of the development of bronze ware. The types of bronze ware were diverse, thick and dignified, the inscriptions were gradually lengthened, and the patterns were rich and colorful. Subsequently, the bronze carcass began to become thinner and the decoration gradually simplified. During the Han Dynasty, as porcelain and lacquerware entered daily life, the variety of copperware decreased, the decoration was simple, most of them were plain, and the carcass became lighter and thinner. The number of Chinese bronzes is innumerable and of various types. The three generations of bronzes also lasted for a very long time, totaling more than 1,600 years, forming the "Bronze Age" in Chinese history.
From the complex bronze art remains, works with representative symbols are selected to gradually explain the aesthetic changes in bronze art and the evolution of craftsmanship methods. From historical theory to representation, from the artistic expression of shapes, patterns, and inscriptions to environmental sculptures, personalized creation of works, and production techniques, from the theory and practice of bronze art to the appreciation of works, we try to get a glimpse of the whole thing and make a thorough study of bronze art. A journey that goes and stops.
Understanding the past of bronze art is to pave the way for the future of bronze art. Hands-on experience and internship are important processes of innovation. The course plan will use several class hours to practice some works with their own concepts under necessary conditions. Among them are shaping, mold making, simulated casting, cold forging copper relief, engraving and making experience with various tools. The teaching content is interspersed with tracing bronze patterns and experiencing the inner connections and rhythmic changes of bronze patterns.
Bronze art creation is carried out in the form of new cases and discussion works, especially in the application of bronze art, targeted exploration and deduction of site colors and possible application ranges of all bronzes, including environmental art and cultural and creative products.
