「盡可能地多走幾步路，並且保持對於大自然的愛，因為這是學習理解藝術的真正方式。」

──文森‧梵谷 Vincent van Gogh

「地球」這個神奇的星球，依然有著很多未知有趣的事物有待人類去探索。對這個世界進行摸索也並非一定得是險地。它也可是生活，也是一件細小的事物，我們平時所做更多的就是對細小的事物進行發現，深究其中，最終掀開未知的面紗。對生活善於去發現，保持一顆好奇心與堅韌之心。深入生活的本質這也是一種探尋與發現，有些人生於平凡所做之事卻叫人驚嘆稱奇，就是他們從平凡之中悟出了事物存在的真理。

自然主義哲學心理學與教育思想的創始者盧梭（Jean Jacques Rousseau），主張應該「返回自然」，因為自然是具有最純真、純善與純美之特性。著名的後印象派畫家—文生‧梵谷（Vincent van Gogh），自然觀對他的繪畫有著深刻的影響。梵谷認為藝術作品的真正價值在於誠實體現個人的感受，他以獨特的視角觀察世界，對自然進行感受，試圖從自然中尋求超自然的力量所在，以畫筆為工具表達他對生命終極神秘的關懷。

大自然其實就如同百寶箱，有千變萬化的知識在其中。當人與自然親近的次數多了，觀察的機會增加，就會逐漸產生一些體悟和情感，慢慢建立起親密的情感連結, 進而會尊重自然環境以及自然提供給人類的一切。

藉由實際的行動力，開啟探索「自然」的奇妙旅程；
用眼睛仔細看、用手仔細尋找，去尋覓大自然的奧妙。

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Genevan philosopher, writer, and composer of the 18th century. His philosophy usually termed as “Naturalism”. He contended that all the ills and miseries caused by civilization are due to a departure from a state of Nature. Returning to Nature, therefore, was his method to cure our earth in troubles. Vincent van Gogh embraced “Naturalism” as an inspiration in his artistic expressions, he observes the world from a unique perspective, tries to find the supernatural power from nature, feel it and use brushes as a tool to express his ultimate mysterious care for life.
