樂齡學員參與藝術學習經驗之探討

Abstract

本研究深入探討推畫藝術學習對樂齡者的影響，結果顯示其在心理健康、社交互動及學習支持等方面皆具有顯著的正向作用。採用質性研究方法，透過訪談5位55歲以上，參與9期推畫課程的樂齡學員，以全面理解其學習經驗與心路歷程。研究結果指出，推畫學習能增強樂齡者的自我表達與創造的能力，同時促進情緒調節與認知功能的維持，有助於心理健康的提升。在社會層面，課程提供了交流的平台，使學員間形成支持性的人際網絡，增強社會歸屬感。此外，適宜的學習環境、專業指導及機構支持，亦能有效提升學習動機與自信心。因此，在推畫學習過程中，樂齡者應保持開放的心態勇於嘗試，並從創作中獲得樂趣與成就感。透過設定學習目標、持續練習與善用學習資源，能逐步提升技藝與自信心。此外，與同儕交流互動，不僅增添學習樂趣，更有助於擴展社交圈，強化人際關係。樂齡者亦可從生活汲取靈感，將藝術創作與健康活動相結合，使推畫成為日常生活的一部分，進而提升創作熱情與整體生活品質。而參與聯展或成果發表，更能帶來成就感與自我肯定，進一步激勵自身及他人投入藝術學習，豐富晚年歲月。綜合而言，推畫藝術學習對於樂齡者具有深遠的影響，不僅能豐富其心靈世界，也在心理健康、社交互動及學習支持等方面發揮關鍵作用。本研究提出具體建議，期望為樂齡學習者、藝術教育機構及相關從業者提供參考，以推動樂齡教育的發展與普及，讓更多長者能夠透過藝術，享受豐富且充滿活力的晚年生活。
