To inspire and cultivate young people's aesthetics and creation, National Taiwan Arts Education Center (NTAEC) in 2008 continues organizing the selection activity for "The Awards of Creative Graphic Book for Nationwide Students." Original graphic books suitable for children aged from 3 to 12 are the main focus for the selection. This time, student's creative subjects are more abundant. The level of completeness is generally increasing. Although capacity of children's literature is rather poor, every author proceeds with the creative process from forming ideas to completing work. All authors command planning capacity besides using their brains and hands for painting and writing as well as needing determination in the slow and long making process. There are also many co-created works which authors need to be involved with capacity of discussion and negotiation.
In addition to encouraging students to give a try for creation to discover their potential ability, the selection of graphic books can also offer diverse educational meanings to all participants. No matter whether they can get prizes or not, they should have much praise and recognition of parents, teachers and themselves as long as one can complete a piece of graphic book and one's work is selected. To encourage students' creativity, NTAEC will publish the result of selected pieces of work. Because every work is involved with every author's ideas, spirit, physical vigour, creativity and patience, it is worthwhile becoming a precious keepsake for learning process and also further progressive use in the future.
