Curricula of Chinese history in Hong Kong lack art historical and archaeological content. When students study art history of the pre-Qin, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, few opportunities of directly observing artifacts exist. Plentiful resources of artifacts in museums in Hong Kong and the rest of the world have not been fully utilized for teaching.
The team led by Dr. Li, Kin Sum (Sammy), associate professor of the History Department in HKBU, received a grant of HK$1.35 million from the Quality Education Fund in 2019 to produce 3D online models and 3D printed replicas for 20 artifacts in the Art Museum, Chinese University of Hong Kong. This project can solve the problems listed above. The team has produced several versions of teaching materials for students in the primary and secondary schools.
The team has used innovative technology to avoid the limitations of time and space, allowing students to interact with 3D models of historical artifacts and artworks, thereby increasing their interest in learning Chinese history. Besides, the project has also trained students’ ability to analyze artifacts, encouraging students to integrate and analyze art historical evidence with the help of modern technology, conducting all-around learning, and creating a new field of Hong Kong history education. Furthermore, the team has potential to make full use of the resources of museum resources in Hong Kong.
Since December 2020, the HKBU team has taught 47 classes in more than 30 primary and secondary schools, benefiting 1,300 students. The project will last until May, 2022.
