Creative Intentions in the Artworks of Xu Kuang: A Teaching Case for Project-based Learning

Abstract

After interpreting the driving question in the art class, students then hold group discussions on topics concerning preview, materi_x005fal collection, selection and analysis of representative works, and elaborations on the CPC’s history reflected in these artworks. In this way,
students can gain more insights into some of the milestone events in the Party’s development. In the project-based learning process, students
attempt to complete the preview list, report form and mind map first and then the whole class collaborate to complete the artistic creation,
in order to express their love for school, life and the country. This study aims to help students further their understanding of the creative intentions in artworks, encourage them to appreciate the value and implied meanings of artworks from multiple dimensions, as well as engage
them in the activities of learning about the Party’s history at school.
