本文主要探討以西方「藝術史」學門的理論基礎轉成本土化與應用教學的問題與創新的可能。並以94學年度東華大學通識課程「藝術導覽」(Guidance to Arts appreciation)為例，從藝術史的學科結合文學、歷史、材質、技法、哲學，教學生分析及詮釋藝術作品。就跨領域的「教」的面向，課程內容設計上，每堂課藝術流派介紹結合歷史、哲學、電影、展覽、公共藝術、流行文化方式講述，放映許多圖片與較短的藝術影片，導引學生朝向西洋與本土、古典與當代的對話。設計課程符合通識教育的原則：基本人類文明的文化關懷、以學生為主體作為學習的開端、介紹不同種族藝術及對多元文化尊重。在學生跨領域「學」的回饋，顯示通識教育跨領域學習的整合與連貫性，一方面學生口頭報告的品質，直追藝術史科班的水準；另一方面，每個學生自動就其專業部份契合藝術史的相關內涵，例如：歷史系的學生談論兵馬俑的類型與歷史文化。從學生的創意表達可以窺見藝術結合學生的日常生活方式：語傳系的學生將巴洛克的畫作以戲劇型態演出，理工科的學生引用流行小說《達文西密碼》詮釋〈最後晚餐〉。籍由跨領域的教與學，藝術真實進入學生生活，打破狹隘的專業訓練與單向的思維模式，達到通識教育的「人本主義」及「全人教育」。

The aim of this article focuses on the possible problems and innovations that might raise by the basic theory of the western art history transforming into localization and applied teaching. According to the General Education Curriculum "Guidance to Arts appreciation" from National Dong Hwa University in year of 2005, it combines the art histories with the literatures, histories, materials, techniques, philosophy and analytic interpretations of the artistry. Overstrided the area of teaching, every art division introduces the combination of histories, philosophy, movies, exhibitions, public arts and popular ways of narration. Through the displays of the pictures and short art movies, they guide the students to focus on the dialogues between the western/local and classic/modern. The design of the courses fits in the principles of the general education. The principles are concerned on basic human kind civilization, conducted the opener of the study based on the object of the students, introduced different types of the racial art and respected the cultural diversification. From the feedback of the students overstride the territory of learning, the general education shows the integration and continuity. In one side, the quality of the oral reports from these students reach the standard as the regular professional art history students. In addition, every single of them automatically fits in with the professional parts in related knowledge of art history. For example, the student from history department discusses on the categories of the clay figures on warriors and horses buried with the dead and the historical cultures. The creative expression of the students can reveal the art closely connected with the daily activities of the students. The students from the Language and Communication department use the drama to express the artistry of Baroque. The students from Technology department quote the popular fiction, "The Da Vinci Code", interpret the "Last Meal". Rely on the fields between the teachings and learning, art factually enters the daily activities of the students and break the narrow-minded professional training and single way of thinking pattern. It achieves the humanism and holistic education of the general education.
