時間：8月19日(一) 14:00-16:00
地點：國立故宮博物院 文會堂
講題：雷諾瓦的繪畫探索與經緯
講師：王哲雄(法國巴黎第四大學西洋美術史與考古學博士、國立臺灣師範大學美術學系、­所前系主任、所長，實踐大學工業產品設計研究所教授)

I. 繪製瓷器裝飾畫的色彩經驗
13歲任陶瓷畫師學徒(1854-1858)，之後從事繪製扇子、壁畫與窗簾裝飾之經­驗，對爾後雷諾瓦用色習慣不無影響。

II. 美術館臨畫的養成教育
雷諾瓦說道：「我啊，必須花上二十年去發現繪畫、二十年去觀看大自然，尤其是要去羅浮­宮。」

III. Charles Gleyre畫室師生的相互砥礪與切磋
1862/4/1 雷諾瓦首先進入Charles Gleyre畫室
1862/10 Sisley進入Charles Gleyre畫室
1862/11 莫內最後進入Charles Gleyre畫室
1863年春天的復活節假期，莫內帶著Bazille到夏伊(Chailly-en-­Biere)寫生。

IV. Narcisse Virgilio Diaz de La Pena (1807-1876)的教誨─奧妙的光斑
雷諾瓦在1864-1865年間，有一天穿著陶瓷師傅的藍色工作服到楓丹白露森林寫生­，在那兒與Barbizon大師之一的Diaz首次相遇。

Elon Musk: Tesla and SolarCity Will Accelerate the Development of an Ene...

Serial entrepreneur Elon Musk explains how Tesla and SolarCity address energy consumption and energy production respectively - a critical step to realizing our transition to a solar-powered world.

Transcript -- The reason I put so much time and effort into creating Tesla was because, it's always said to me that the transportation won't go electric and should go electric, but we have an unpriced externality in the negative effects of gasoline and on the environment and also in the wars that we fight and national security and that kind of thing.

Whenever you have an unpriced externality you can't quite rely on the market to do the right thing. So in order to have electric vehicles come sooner than they otherwise would... electric vehicles were always going to be the long-term transportation mechanism, but to make that day come sooner, you have to bridge the gap with innovation. That was the goal with Tesla is to try to serve as a catalyst to accelerate the day, the day of electric vehicles. And I think when all is said and done, I am hopeful that historians will look back on Tesla and say that Tesla advanced that by at least 10 years, which that would be a huge victory of mine... in my mind.

SolarCity, of course, is on the energy production side of things because it doesn't help if we have sustainable consumption of energy, but then that energy isn't produced in a sustainable way. I feel quite strongly that solar power will be the single largest source of electricity generation by midpoint of the century. In fact, just a simple extrapolation of the growth of solar power would for sure, that that's obviously going to be the case. And also when you consider that the earth is almost entirely solar powered today and that the fact that we're not a frozen ice ball at say 4 degrees kelvin and it's just due to the sun. And the whole ecosystem is powered by the sun. There's just an itty bitty amount of energy that we need to do complicated human things. It's a tiny amount of energy really compared to what the sun puts on the earth every day. And we just need to capture a little bit of that and turn it into electricity. So we have to try to accelerate that with innovation. And that's what SolarCity is about.
