🌲 Trees Know 我们是巴福




Bafu Town is one of the most ordinary towns in Chongqing, and is facing one of the most common demolition steps in the process of urbanisation, where the existing old streets will cease to exist, but the town's large trees will continue to watch the ups and downs of the landscape.

In this workshop series, I focused on the town of Bafu, which is an aesthetic project based on memory retention. 11 students from Bafu Primary School were used as the target group for the one-month workshop, which fulfilled the basic goal of aesthetic education around the central theme of ‘Trees in Bafu Town’, and used the ‘Art+’ as a guideline for the cross-curricular dialogue and the ‘Art+’ programme. The project is an interdisciplinary exploration guided by the theme of ‘Art+’. It is hoped that in the course of the project, participants will feel the power of beauty, sense the special value of their hometown, and search for the universal aesthetic orientation of the community.

巴福镇是重庆最普通的一个小镇,迎接着城市化进程中最常见的拆迁步骤,现有的老街将不复存在,惟镇上的大树继续观看景观的起伏。

此次系列工作坊,我对焦于巴福镇,它是一次基于记忆留存的美育项目,以巴福小学11名学生作为参与对象,进行了为期一个月的工作坊实施,围绕“巴福镇的树”这一中心主题完成美育的基础目标,以“艺术+”为指引,进行跨学科的探索。期冀活动参与者在项目过程中感受到美的力量,感知到家乡的特别价值,寻找社群的普遍美学导向。
