How did your activities and research for this International Schools CyberFair project support content standards, required coursework and curriculum requirements?

　　As the legend of art in Taiwan, Wang has been the founder of Taichung sculpture association. With numerous outstanding artists having been instructed by him, Wang is virtually the very one who ignited the fire of art in Central Taiwan, thus giving the city the name “Culture Capital.” Wang is definitely the person worthy of our research and recording.

In what ways did your students act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your Cyberfair project both on-line and in person.

　　Via Wang’s granddaughter, we successfully got in touch with Wang. Given that Wang once got throat cancer, thus unable to articulate clearly, we are lucky to get aid from Wang’s son, architect Wang Wen Fan, who can “translate” Wang’s speech for us.

　　During the interview with Wang, we also understand the true spirit of his masterpiece and the determination of the artist.  We even had the chance to appreciate countless amazing works.  As the ambassadors of The Internet Exhibition, we would like to get Taiwan and the world to know Wang by this web page we made.

 

What information tools and technologies did you use to complete your Cyberfair project? 

　　Digital camera, Cell phone, Table/laptop, USB, Fiber optic networks and ADSL broadband network,Hard Drive, Window XP,Window 8, Microsoft Office Window 2007 and 2010, Adobe Dreamweaver, Photo Impact, Dropbox, Paint, Facebook and Line.

What has been or will be the impact of your project on your community?

　　After the interview with Wang, we young generation come to realize that there are so many masterpieces around us, which were actually created by the same artist, Wang.  The art genres Wang has “conquered” include fine art, sculpture,architecture, dress design, word design and many other things concerning beauty. All the members of our team have practically been feasted with the best art works in our country during the period.

How did your project involve other members of your community as helpers and volunteers?

　　In order to get more detailed and exact material, we went to Wang’s residence two times to interview him.  Given the fact that Wang once got Laryngeal (throat cancer), we need Wang’s son, architect Wang Wen Fan, to ‘translate” Wang’s speech for us. Moreover, the city hall also offered us some past record of Wang. However, it’s not abundant enough for us to learn the profile of the art master.

Respect intellectual rights and citation
　　

　　Because the information on the internet is so rare, most of the information in the research is either from our interview with Mr. Wang or from articles in the two valuable books that Mr. Wang provided. The sources of the information are all mentioned in the end, and we are grateful for the writer's work. Furthermore, the pictures on the website are all taken by us.

What Specific measures are used to communicate with the interviewees?

　　To fully understand Mr. Wang's stories, we visited his house and had two 4-hour interviews. During the interviews, Mr. Wang couldn't speak because he had just received a surgery due to throat cancer, so most of the questions were answered and interpreted by his son. The internet and phone calls are other tools that we used to communicate with Wang's family members to clarify the information. We hope to record the most corrected historic material.

Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises

　　We find that the beauty of art is not to be restricted to a given frame. Wang used to earn his living by painting the movie billboard. Others all had their paintings on the given board; however, Wong did not. He added a small board on the top of the board to present the top of the sword or the beautiful face of the lead Character, which immediately caught people’s attention, therefore getting a big success and others’ imitation.

　　To Wang, art is everywhere. He is a self-made person who learned everything he’s interested by trying, and to our surprise, most of his tries amounted to fantastic arts. Not only paintings and sculptures but his clothes and buildings are also designed by Wong himself. Nevertheless, Wong keeps reminding us that his masterpieces mostly come from his perspiration rather than his inspiration. He encourages us to keep focusing on our talents and interests and strive hard to cultivate them. And then, we high school students can also become masters in certain fields one day.
