Development of a Curriculum Based on the “1+3 Arts Integration Education” Model: A Case Study of the Perception and Arts Integration Course
Keywords:
Art education, Art integration, Arts integrated education, Cultural arts education, Perception and arts integrationAbstract
This study is grounded in the “1+3 Arts Integrated Education Curriculum and Teaching Methodology,” which caters to the evolving demands of university arts education amidst contemporary social and historical contexts. By emphasizing one primary discipline (whether literature, visual arts, music, or film) and integrating the remaining three, “1+3 Arts Integrated Education” transcends the traditional boundaries between integrated and convergent educational approaches. The Perception and Arts Integration course was specifically devised to investigate how various art genres correlate with senses and perception, and how these correlations manifest artistically. The curriculum underwent a comprehensive design process involving academic conferences, guest lectures, workshops, and case studies. This led to the implementation of a pilot extracurricular class, followed by the formal development of the course. Through expert team teaching, the course seamlessly integrated theoretical knowledge with practical applications, culminating in the completion of final projects. Students reaped the benefits of engaging in a diverse array of arts integration activities, broadened learning opportunities, in-depth exploration of their chosen fields, and heightened awareness of the interconnectedness between perception and arts integration.
