Introduction：
Located in the neighborhood of the Kao Mei Wetlands, Kao Mei Elementary School offers its students a fantastic opportunity to embrace nature. The school pays great attention to marine ecology education and both teachers and students learn and grow together while observing ecological changes. Kao Mei Wetlands is a wonderful hidden treasure for children where they can listen to the sea wind or experience first hand the inspiration and vitality of Mother Earth. Wetlands play an important role in environmental conservation, particularly in terms of ecological protection, flood prevention and water purification. They are also some of the most productive ecosystems in the world, inhabited by numerous wild animals and plants. Kao Mei Wetlands is also rich in ecological resources. “Listening to the Whispers of the Sea Wind” is designed around the motif of ocean and wetlands. Displayed on the meadows and banyan trees in front of the Student Activity Center are the rotund and amusing figures of mudskippers and crabs. These vivid forms not only enhance the visual appeal of the campus, but also blur the boundaries between it and the local community. With these colorful and friendly images, the school has created a public space where visitors can let their imagination run free as they listen to the sounds of nature and relax. In terms of color design, “Listening to the Whispers of the Sea Wind” was created to showcase ocean images. Bright and cheery, the mosaics are symbols of happiness and hope. These colorful public art works are intended to infuse the school and community with renewed vitality and create an art corner in the campus； while the children play around the old trees, growing and maturing in a happy natural environment.
