2. In what ways did you act as "ambassadors" and spokespersons for your CyberFair project both on-line and in person.

We set up website to introduce Mrs. Chen Chin and gouache painting, which she was good at, towards the world. We presented our project to our classmates in art class at school. We also interviewed her coming generations at her private museum. In order to accomplish this project, we also contacted and talked to Mrs. Li-Fin Chen (Committee of National Culture and Arts Foundation), Mr.Tsai-Lang Huang(past Director of Taipei Fine Arts Museum), Yu-Chun Lin(Collection Head of Taipei Fine Art Museum), and Mr. Bo-Ting Lin(past Deputy Director of National Palace Museum), how they thought and knew about the first female intellectuals to be educated under the new education system, and a pioneer in the development of Oriental art in Taiwan. She was one of the first Taiwanese artists to present works in the Taiwan Fine Arts Exhibition.

Through our report, we had made one hundred and twenty students in our school get a chance to know a traditional art – gouache painting, that widen their views of art, and know the first female artist of Taiwan, Chen Chin. People around the world learned gouache painting and know first female artist through our Web pages. We established some new working relationships with Taipei Fine Arts Museum, National Palace Museum, and National art council with our Web pages. Through our Web site, people know the gouache paintings of Chen Chin's spread and preserve at Taipei Fine Arts Museum, National Palace Museum, and Chen Chin's private museum in Taiwan.

We interviewed Mrs. Chen Chin’s family members, understood her life, visited her personal art studio, witnessed her paintings. We also visited Teacher Wang Chen Yi, she taught us how to paint gouache. Therefore, we learned about how to prepare the materials and the steps for gouache. We actually finished our own gouache artwork on the fan. Besides, Dr. Shou-chih,Su solved our problems about through gouache painting Internet. Mrs. Li-Fin Chen (Committee of National Culture and Arts Foundation), Mr.Tsai-Lang Huang(past Director of Taipei Fine Arts Museum), Yu-Chun Lin(Collection Head of Taipei Fine Art Museum), and Mr. Bo-Ting Lin( past Deputy Director of National Palace Museum) helped us through telephone. More than 100 students listened to our report. Our art teacher, Fu-fen, Hsu, appreciated our effort to the project.


5. Discoveries, Lessons and Surprises

Ms.Chen-Chin's paintings is more than just paintngs for us who had explored about her life and her art deeply. It's a
miniature of her life.

We are really happy and excited that we could join this International Cyber Fair Competition. During the Cyberfair, we had learned a myriad of knowledge about computer, the skills of interviewing, and the way of collecting and sorting information. The days that we worked together, we had a good grasp of the importance of teamwork and the division of labor. If we only depend on one person to finish everything is impossible, we had to help each other to conquer difficulties. Besides, we would like to thank our teachers for teaching us, so we could create this webpage. Joining this activity, member should arrange their time and be response for their work. Even though we had different ideas and cause us behind our work, after discussion, we learned how to express our ideas and accept others’ ideas with an open mind. After our hard working, we finished this project about one year, everyone was tired due to schoolwork plus running behind, however, we were happy for our accomplishments and learned a lot of things through this project. We wish we could have the chance to join this event in the future.
