Light 光, Perception 知覺, and Reality 現實

Understanding the nature of light and how it and other factors affect our perceptions of reality

A presentation of work by a group of students in experimental education in Taipei, Taiwan

Light

Light makes apparent what our most often relied upon sense can observe. The absence of light hides what might otherwise be obvious. In addition to observable light, light which is beyond the scope of normal human vision also affects and is utilized by us on a daily basis.

Perception

The process of perception starts with sensory input. The class learned about our five main senses, and other senses that that science has identified. We learned about how sensory input might be ignored or misreceived based on different factors.

Reality

We often define “reality” to refer to the state of existence or the world as it is, independent of subjective perception or interpretation. At the same time, we can’t help but wonder if reality can exist outside of observation and experience of an observer.

What is “real”, what is “reality”? How can we be sure that we see the world as it really is, and afterwards are making decisions and conducting actions based on logical thinking and reliable facts? The main topic of this period deals with reality, light, perception, and shaping behavior through shaping perception.

Our Students

This education program currently involves a small group of students. Each is unique and talented in their own way, with different strengths and contributions to our team. We are incredibly proud of the growth that each has made and see their potential to become great achievers in varying fields in the future.

Art Photography

This semester we studied many things about photography. Students learned how to control exposure, how to compose their photos, and how to use accessories like lighting and tripods. They practiced taking different types of photos, including landscapes and portraits.
