Some stories about railway of colored painting
2014.12.20 Photo and text /Jingsiou Vanguard Team The love to land needs the fermentation of time, and the hometown loving action needs learning and experience! Each member was assigned with 30 questionnaires this week. After class, the members completed the field investigation near their home. They were full of confidence, completed the tasks effectively and rapidly, and Yu-jieh brought surprising news. A happy talk with an old couple |
When Yu-jieh walked to the Sugarcane Railway, he encountered a grey-headed grandma filling in the questionnaire warmly, and she also told a long old story about the railway. The grandma said that she would pay the material fee, and hoped that the teachers and students could paint train on her wall. It was good to concern the railway residence, and everyone was excited to divide the labor, Yu-jieh was responsible for measuring the wall size and contact, Cheng-wei and Yi-chen drew the sketch, Hsin-yu and Rou-ci were responsible for communicating with and reporting to the school and parents. Hearing this, the headmaster invited Teacher Shih-kai painting fresco in the school for guidance.
Teacher Shih-kai guiding skills of colored painting
On the afternoon of December 26, we came to Dedication Building to talk with the colored painting specialist and understand the principle of colored painting. To start the colored painting, it is needed to scrape the wall, supplement the earth, apply primer, draw draft, put color, the oil paint rendering is dominated by flat cement paint, colored painting is dominated by bright cement paint and the tone is of uniform mixing of red, yellow, blue, green and white. The tools needed include professional paint pen, cleaning rag, raincoat, palette and newspaper etc., which are inseparable. We climbed to the iron ladder to experience the sense of fresco. Wow, it is really a great challenge of patience, cost and artistic sense of beauty to the laymen!
Love will turn
Upon several contact, Yu-jieh decided to survey the residence community again on January 7. The backyard of the old grandma’s home faced Yuanlin Sugarcane Railway, with an elegant residence environment. Both the couple were at home, the grandpa said he once studied in Japan for 10 years and when he was young, he served in the base of Shenshe Mountain in Yuanlin. Because of love to Yuanlin, he moved from Taichung to Yuanlin for settlement 10 years ago, and it was until November did he spend money repairing the roof with serious water leakage. It turned out that the old couple were not the owner of the house, so we had to postpone our idea of colored painting in the old house. However, the old couple affirmed the hometown love campaign of Jingsiou Vanguard Team very much, and they expected that the school could expand the colored painting campaign in the residence community from Yuanlin Sugarcane Railway in combination with the residence community development committee.
However, Jingsiou Vanguard Team has never stopped the initial intention of beautifying the railway environment. Returning to the discarded toilet and dormitory corner that were ignored, they made efforts to sort out the modified “Jingsiou Station”, with an old enclosure combined with an old clay plate and iron corrugated board outside. So they had a new idea to newly dress the old wall of the opposite residence community. The dressing and the Jingsiou Station can add radiance and beauty to each other, and the low wall is suitable for us to play our best.

New color drawing in the old wall of railway community
After searching, we found the old wall which has been idle for a long time under the overpass of Juguang Road not far from Jingsiou Station. Upon discussion, we decided to select this grey and green iron sheet wall. After knowing this, the headmaster and director immediately supported the materials, Yi-chen and her daughter preliminarily drew the ideas of everyone in computer, and outlined the base map on the afternoon of the vacation, and then the members of Jingsiou Vanguard Team carried color drawing in groups. It is required to overcome sticking to draw with paint, and the drawing should be completed at one time carefully. This color drawing activity attracted a lot of passers by. Within less than half a day, the train profile was so distinctive, and we were really happy to beautify the residence community in happy laughter and cheerful voices.
When the orange train drove from Yuanlin Station to Jingsiou Elementary School, there was rainbow in the sky, together with butterfly and flowers! The old wall was replaced by Jingsiou Train, and everyone appreciated our joint creative work with satisfaction. After synchronizing po to fb, there were a lot of fans for praise continuously and they even inquired us for the place and wanted to punch the card. From then on, the old wall was changed into the mysterious No. 76 platform of Jingsiou Station!
