　1/2藝術蝦 Artshrimp: 蝦畫台南-海安路&民生綠園周邊 (2014.01.26)

在台南生活已經快三年了，這是我的第一次台南速寫散步。花了一整天的時間用畫筆好好探索了早已習以為常的城市巷弄，感覺非常充實。我走了兩個地方，一個是海安路周邊，另一個則是民生綠園附近，下面和大家分享本次的速寫作品與經驗。

I have lived in Tainan for almost 3 years, but this is my first sketch trip in this city. It took me whole day sketching the lanes and places where I was already familiar with. In today's Tainan sketch, I visited two regions, Haian road and Ming-Shen Green Circle. The following was the travelogue shared with you.

水彩速寫的部分可以參考＂檳城-喬治市速寫散步＂。這次除了水彩速寫的部分，還使用了代針筆速寫，只畫線條與黑白，以加快作畫速度。我根據不同的主題選擇不同的速寫方式，如下所示：

You can refer to "Travelogue : Penang_George Town" for understanding the watercolor sketch tools. Besides using watercolor, I also used monochromatic sketch according to different requirement, as the following shows:

海安路周邊 (Haian Road)

海安路在清朝時期為河港，是昔日府城重要的轉運物流中心。不過由於河床的淤積，與後來海安路地下街工程的失敗，使得這裡沒落了多年。直到近年來隨著藝術造街計畫的興起，才賦予了海安路新的生命。街道上隨處可見的裝置藝術，露天咖啡屋與餐廳交織點綴了海安路的新面孔。於是，海安路成了遊客來到台南必定會參訪的熱門景點。今天的散步速寫，也由此展開。

The region of Haian road used to be a river port in Qing Dynasty, and therefore it was the most important transshipment center in Tainan then. The sedimentation of river caused the lose of its position, and the failure of attempt at building an underground mall 10 years ago also caused further decline of this region until the project of art street. In Haian road, tourist can enjoy the restaurants, cafes or drink shops in the open air, and the sidewalks are full of installation art works. All of these make Haian road becomes one of the most popular tourist spots in Tainan. It's the reason why today's sketch trip kicked off from Haian road.

Spot A : 神農街 (Shennong Street)

神農街是遊客來到台南旅遊的口袋行程之一。懷舊的氣息透露著神農街的樸實，走進裡頭，像是踏進了幾十年前的台灣。對於熱愛街頭速寫的我來說，怎麼可以放過！於是神農街成了今天散步速寫的第一站。

Shennong street is considered to be the best preserved old street in Tainan. Walking in the street always makes visitors think of old Taiwan decades ago. It is really a very suitable place for sketching. Therefore, Shennong street is my first sketch spot.

元宵節將至，神農街掛起了長長一串各式各樣的燈籠，我在入口處停了下來，開始記錄這美妙的風景。

Lantern Festival was coming, I saw series of lanterns with different styles in the street.

接著走進街裡探索，途中經過意間小店，門口貼了春聯，紅黃的色彩輝映在毛玻璃上，有種獨特的美感。
When exploring in the street, I saw a little store with colorful spring festival couplets. The reflection revealed special aesthetic feeling.

街上的燈籠十分有趣，各式各樣的造型都有。有傳統的，也有人物或動物。我速寫了一張童子的燈籠當作記念。

The lanterns with various styles were very compelling. Some were traditional and some were modern. I sketched a child style lantern for memory.

Spot B : 海安路 (Haian Road)

離開神農街後，我沿著海安路散步。首先速寫了有名的藍曬圖，這件作品是我對海安路的第一印象。建築師劉國滄將原本毀壞的斷岩殘壁重新設計後，賦予了它新的生命。

After leaving shennong street, I strolled along Haian road, and sketched a famous installation art work, Blueprint. It was originally just rubble and wall of an old building, but the artist gave it new appearance and life. Now it is the landmark of Haian road.

也速寫了路旁一家飲料店。這間店由兩層樓的老房子所組成，下午閒來沒事在裡頭悠閒的聊天或看書，一定是個很棒的體驗。

I also sketched this 2-story drink shop. It should be a wonderful afternoon spending time reading or chatting with friends in the shop.

除了著名的藍曬圖外，海安路上隨處可見各種其他的裝置藝術作品。在某個路口處看到了幾個真人尺寸的木頭人，讓我覺得詭異又新奇。

Besides the famous Blueprint, the other installation art works can be seen everywhere on Haian road.

我在路旁的房子上發現了可愛的門神，於是拿起了筆記錄下來。

I discovered a couple of adorable door-gods.

Spot C : 正興街 (Zhengxing Street)

順著海安路走，我左彎進正興街。不同於神農街的清幽，在我面前的，是人山人海的喧鬧聲，果然還是只有美食才能吸引大批大批的遊客。在正興街裡最有名的是：泰成水果店，蜷尾家霜淇淋，布萊恩紅茶等等。由於志在畫畫，速寫完人聲鼎沸的正興街後，我便離開前往民生綠園周邊了。

Different from the secluded Shennong street, Zhengxing street was a bustling place. Sure enough, only the snacks can really attract crowd of tourists. Because my purpose was sketching, I didn't eat the snacks. After finishing my work, I departed for Ming-Shen Green Circle.

之前跨年時在正興街拍的照片。

This is the photo I took on new year's eve last year.

民生綠園周邊 (Ming-Shen Green Circle)

民生綠園的正式名稱是湯德章紀念公園，用於紀念二二八事件受難者湯德章律師。是日治時期的台南政府中心，周圍有台灣文學館(原台南州廳)、孔廟、延平郡王祠等古蹟，是遊客到台南必來的旅遊景點。我將車停在台灣文學館附近，然後往孔廟的方向走去。

Ming-Shen Green Circle is located in the center of Tainan city. Nearby the circle, there is Museum of Taiwanese Literature, Confucius temple, Koxinga temple and etc. I parked motorcycle here and started sketching.

Spot D : 台灣文學館 (Museum of Taiwanese Literature)

台灣文學館是日治時期的台南州廳，光復後則成為台南市政府的所在，直到後來是政府遷到安平區才改為台灣文學館。建築物本身是建築師森山松之助的作品，融合了歐日的典雅風格。為了找到好的視野，我走到圓環中的民生綠園來作畫。

This European-style building used to be the Tainan prefecture hall when Taiwan was under Japanese rule. After WWII, it became Tainan city hall. Now it is the Museum of Taiwanese Literature. I went to the park opposite it for good view to sketch this magnificent building.

之前其實已經拜訪過台灣文學許多次了，下面是以前畫的作品

As a matter of fact, I already visited this building many times.The following is my previous sketch work.

夜晚的民生綠園是燈火通明，車水馬龍。記得前陣子是耶誕節，文學館前面架起了巨大的耶誕樹，空氣中跳耀著過節的氣息，非常漂亮。下面是當時速寫的作品。

Few weeks ago, I saw a huge Christmas tree set up in front of the museum when I passed by. The colorful light on the tree made the whole Ming-Shen Green Circle so brilliant and beauty at night. The following is my sketch work then.

Spot E : 孔廟 (Confucius Temple)

臺南孔廟是全台灣最早的一座文廟，建於1665年，由陳永華建議鄭經所建，最初只設大成殿來祭祠孔子，之後又設明倫堂作為講學之用，為全台首學。離開台灣文學館後，我便前往孔廟速寫。

Tainan Confucius temple is the first Confucius temple and the first school in Taiwan. It was built by Chen Yonghua in 1665.

孔廟裡的小廣場不定期會舉辦午後的音樂會，明媚的藍天，古色古香的磚瓦，再搭配悠揚的歌聲，讓人感受到悠閒的下午時光。下面是前年的作品。

Sometimes there is casual concert in small plaza inside the temple. Euphonious sound of sing always make me feel so relaxing.

Spot F : 府中街 (Fuzong Street)

孔廟的正對面是熱鬧的府中街，府中街的路口是清朝乾隆時，知府蔣元樞所建的泮宮石坊。漫步在府中街上，可以看到許多的商店，販賣著各式各樣的商品。日式歐式的咖啡店林立其中，還有中式的炒泡麵、古玩店，以及有趣的文創小店。多元的風格是府中街的特色，我在裡頭速寫了許多有趣的風景。

Opposite the Confucius temple is bustling Fuzong street. There are various stores in the street.Chinese food restaurants , Western style cafes, antique stores, groceries or some souvenir stores selling art works are all packed into this small street.

速寫的時候發生了小插曲。由於站在路的正中央作畫，不斷的被路人圍觀，也和一些遊客聊了起來。最後竟然將10幾張自己的私人名片全部發完！真是件讓我意想不到的事情。

An event happened when I was sketching. Because I stood just in the center of the street, my sketching activity was so noticeable. Therefore, I was surrounded by the passages. After several minutes, I hand out all of my businesses cards, which was beyond my expectation!

Spot G : 延平郡王祠 (Koxinga Temple)

延平郡王祠是記念鄭成功的祠堂，建於清治時期，且在日治時期曾改名為開山神社，是日本人在台灣設置最早的神社。除了廟宇建築外，旁邊還有鄭成功紀念館，裡面介紹了台南和明鄭時期的歷史文物。

Koxinga temple is where people commemorate Zheng Chenggong, the king of Kingdom of Tungning. It is also a famous historic site built in Qing dynasty. Besides the temple, there is also a memorial hall nearby, which displays the historical relics in Kingdom of Tungning period.

離開府中街後，順著路走即可看到巨大的鄭成功騎白馬像，是楊英風的作品。廟裡面的環境清幽，看著裡頭供奉的明鄭將士牌位，有種蒼海桑田的蕭瑟感。速寫完之後，天色也漸漸暗了，於是我便打包往停車的地方走去。

A huge carving of Zheng Chenggong stands outside the temple.This carving is the work of master Yuyu Yang. The environment inside the temple was pretty secluded. Besides displaying Zheng Chenggong's statue in the major hall, his generals' memorial tablets are also displayed. When I was sketching, the sky was becoming darker and darker. After finishing, I returned to the parking lot.

之前夏天的時候曾拜訪過一次。樹葉的影子在紅色的牆上印出了美麗的碎形，讓人不禁感受到空氣的炎熱與樹陰的涼爽，午後，真是悠閒！

Last summer, I used to visit this temple. The shadow of leafs stamped the beautiful fractal patterns on the red wall, and stark contract implied the hot of air and cool of shadow, which made me feel so relaxing at the time.

巨大的鄭成功雕像。大師楊英風的作品。

Huge carving of Zheng Chenggong. It is master Yuyu Yang's work.

Spot H : 擇賢堂 (Zexian Tang)

返回停車的路途上，看到一個牌子上寫著三級古蹟＂擇賢堂＂，於是走了進去一探究竟。根據文獻記載，擇賢堂是齋教先天派的齋堂，為教友於清光緒五年（1879年）時集資創建。台南迷人的地方在於，由於是古城，小巷弄裡常常可以看到這樣的小古蹟。不過很可惜的由於時間太晚，無法進去參觀。

On my way to the parking lot, I saw a table wrote 3 class historic site, Zexian Tang. It is a 120 years old small temple.The reason why Tainan is so charming is that the tourists can always discover this kind of small historic sites in the lanes everywhere. However, it was a pity that I visited too late and could not go into the house to look around.
