The traditional art curriculum is one of the major features in LJIS. In October, LJIS invited Mr. Xu Zhixiong, a master of Spices clay art, to teach the students making puppet show dolls.

     The puppets are made of wood power, and the cost is low. In the era when the puppet show was a big hit, the grandmaster used the spices clay to replace the expensive pottery. He made countless puppets to satisfy the desire of many fans, and he created great fortune for himself.

     With the changes of the times, making dolls out of spices clay in now an entertaining activity instead of a skill to make a living, but it is an important part of our culture.

Look! Our students are very interested in the performance of the puppet show and it showed the charm of traditional art.

     On December 27 this year, a Nanguan & Traditional Art Festival concert will be held in LJIS. Students will perform by the puppets they made.

     On Fridays, they will practice how to work the puppets. Staffs in LJIS will continue supporting them in the preparation stages.

傳藝課程是LJIS主要特色之一，十月學校邀請土黏香藝術大師徐智雄先生，到校指導學生製作布袋戲偶。土黏香的材料為木屑、香料等，成本很低。在布袋戲轟動全台的時代，大師使用土黏香代替昂貴的陶器，製作了無數的布袋戲偶，不僅滿足粉絲的需求，也為自己創造巨大的財富。

隨著時代的變遷，用土黏香製作玩偶，已經成為一種娛樂活動，而不是謀生手段，它是我們文化的重要組成部分。看！我們的學生對布袋戲偶的表演興趣濃厚，它展現了傳統藝術的魅力。

今年12月27日，南管傳藝音樂會，將在LJIS舉行。學生將操作他們製作的木偶做表演。之後的每週五，他們將學習如何操作木偶。LJIS的教師團隊，會在準備期間繼續支持他們。
