The theme "Cause, Craft, and Art" of the 2021 graduation exhibition of the Institute of Arts and crafts is a further reflection and expansion of the previous theme of "View, Hand, and Art". "View" refers to the careful observation and analysis with purpose and perspective, and also refers to the observation and examination of things, which extends to the distant view of reason. "The meaning of the word: Yin (Cause)" is rich and diverse, which contains dialectical philosophical thinking, and its meaning is more than cause, inheritance, and reason. From the perspective of the original meaning of words, "Cause, Craft, and Art" is not only a single-dimensional view of handicraft, but also a multi-dimensional analysis of its field and plane, and a deconstructive cognition focusing on the time point and vein of handicraft. From the perspective of historical point and professional noumenon, "Cause, Craft, and Art" covers the genes, materials, skills, thinking and other elements of the art of craft, shows the leading ideas and experimental measures of the college's professional innovation and development, focusing on the cultivation of compound excellent talents, and highlights the goal and orientation of professional education. The inheritance and development of human civilization stem from the upgrading and expansion of thinking. The manual labor in the historical origin usually condenses the collective wisdom of the ancestors, carries the wisdom and wisdom beyond the times, and contains a kind of ideological innovation. The germination of this new idea, flashing people's speculative perception of new things. Perception is the basis of cognition of new things, mixed with the source state problem of social development iterative update.
