文字是人類文明社會的開端，它讓我們得以成為地球上生物界的霸主。學校教育中教師最主要的工作：傳道、授業、解惑，正是教導知識與文化，傳達正確觀念。因此我決定作品就從「文字」來著手。

我發下學習單讓學生寫下一個對自己有意義的字，並寫出選擇該字的理由，並練習寫該字上下顛倒的樣子；最後拍下他們的用毛筆將這字的書寫過程，而四年級的學生從未在學校上過書法課。

Human civilization began with written words, which differentiated us from animals and made us the dominant species in the world. In school, the role of a teacher is to guide students to the right way, to teach them the necessary knowledge, and to help them when they have doubts. Therefore, I started this project with “written words” by asking students to write down a word which was meaningful to them on the study sheet and to explain why they chose the word. Later, I asked them to write the word upside down in calligraphy and filmed the whole process of them writing with an ink brush. The fourth-graders had never taken a calligraphy class in school before.
