Academic Philosophy
The most profound legacies of human civilization are art and science. Art embodies the brilliance and expression of individual humanity, while contemporary public art represents the evolution of humanistic values into shared life experiences. Art education must provide students with a broad historical context and artistic landscape to clarify their identities, foster independent judgment, and lay foundations for future practice.

Public art creation involves navigating social responsibilities, collisions of ideas, and technical challenges. It is a deliberate release, an interpretive liberation, and a path toward communal aesthetic life. Artists must bridge artistic vision and technical execution, integrating materiality and craftsmanship to achieve organic unity. Academic education must unify conceptual learning with technical mastery.
