碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 學習與教學研究所 === 97 === The researcher who limited the meaning of culture and beauty, now uses narrative inquiry as the research method to do a craft artist (Tsai Yupan) research. The research intends to know Tsai’s create process and if there is any factor to influence the visual creativity. Self directed learning is also the issue of raising the creating skills. Interview and observation are the ways to know Tsai’s background, create process, and to collect the relevant data. During the 14 interviews and the 3 observations, the researcher finds out certain connections between her and Tsai and therefore the different influences. Because of the differences, it helps the researcher to recall her life’s story and to do self examination. Making relationship and conversation with Tsai are the ways to weaving lives’ patterns. It is not only to learn how to appreciate the objects of art, but also to think deeper about the meaning of culture and beauty. During the four semesters research, it is really a procedure of discovering, practicing, and changing of life.
