Art in SKBy SK II
Our Motivations
• Few people really understand the meanings of these artworks.
• We wonder who created these pieces of art in our school and why.
• Are there any connections among the artworks?
Introduction of the Project
• We chose our fountain, mural, sculpture and stained-glass windows as our research.
• We had to interview some people who know well about the artworks.
• We tried to find out their history and meanings.
• We could interpret art in a different way.

Our Project• Our learning process• The difficulties encountered and
how we solved the problems• The impact of the project• Recommendations
What did we learn?• Through this project we learned about
our school’s history.
• We found the meanings behind these artworks.
• The most important point is we know how to observe art everywhere.
Resolutions to Difficulties • It's really difficult to know the meanings of
these artworks and not everything could be found on the internet.
• It’s hard to interview someone who knows the history well.
• It’s tough to translate Chinese into English.
• Doing research is time-consuming.
• All of us are from different classes, so it’s difficult for us to get together.
The Impact of the Project
• In every picture, statue, and artistic construction, one can see there is a voice hidden in it, continually telling us what purpose the work of art was created for.
• Follow the artist’s imagination and interpret it on our own with our imagination.
Suggestions and Recommendations
• We were pressed for time in completing the project.
• The content of the project could be broader, not only limited to these choices.
• Encourage students to appreciate more artworks.
• Encourage people to talk with others about art and learn more about it.
