[[en]]Educational philosophy[[zh]]教学理念

[[en]]Ray is not only familiar with the admission requirements for many famous art colleges in Europe and North America, but also could use the advanced teaching methodologies from those universities originated by his academic and working experiences. Meanwhile, he is good at mixing Asian arts and humanities and aesthetics into his teaching practices. His goal of teaching is to pursue mixed outcomes of aesthetic and humanity with diversity and integration.
[[zh]]Ray不但熟悉欧美艺术类大学作品要求,而且会将欧美大学授课方式与设计理念融入在课堂中。同时,又将亚洲的人文艺术和美学理念融入在教学实践中,追求一种多元,而不失统一的人文美学教育理念。

[[en]]One of Ray’s motto is “Combination of Art and Love”- teachers should stand on students’ sides which is a key principle for helping teachers to create a thoughtful and suitable curriculum for students. Also, Ray believes that the understanding of “Oneness” has very important meaning during the study - Oneness is not singularity, it not only pursues similarity but also encourages diversity and allows differences.
[[zh]]Ray坚信“艺术与爱的融合”,亦师亦友,从每个孩子的自身出发,真正的去帮助他们,精心设计适合他们的课程规划与学习培养方案。同时“合一”也是Ray一直信奉的教育理念 - 合一不是独一,鼓励多元创造性,但又存异求同,迎向合一。

[[en]]Ray believes it is a very interesting journey for students to pursue art in their lives. Except for art knowledge, aesthetic concepts, and humanities, we also could encounter perceptions of love, oneness, etc. If we could practice all these things we learned, students probably could build certain active personalities through those practices. These wonderful experiences might produce a profound and active impact on students’ lives.  
[[zh]]Ray老师认为 - 艺术求学是孩子们在人生道路上一个有趣的经历。除了艺术知识,美学理念,人文情怀之外,我们还可以一起学习到爱、合一等理念。如果能将这些所有的东西融合在一起操练,在反复操练中养成一些积极美好的习惯,可能会对孩子的一生产生积极和深远的影响。
