這項課程的設計有 5 項重點：

1. 藝術理論與史料研讀：藉由藝術史與理論之解說與分析，讓學生了解當代藝術發展之脈絡，並從知識之學習累積成創作之基礎與動力。

2. 藝術認知：學生從一些當代藝術創作實例的介紹、參觀與討論中，得到對當代藝術作品的粗步認知，進而建立自我獨立見解與基本賞析的能力。

3. 創作實務：
a. 以一個限制性的主題誘發學生的創意思考，並著重以學校背景、個人生活環境與特質，以及學習重點進行各種面向的歧異詮釋、再創造、再發明。對於「設計」與「藝術」本身進行多層次的討論與研究。
b. 期末或於下學期舉行小型展覽，藉由創作作品與展覽的實際經驗，強化學生對於藝術與展演的概念，進而企圖提升學生的獨創能力的展現。

4. 案例分析：藉由理論之學習，將當代藝術知識運用到社會現象之觀察與分析，讓學生除了學習創作之外，也能將創作的敏感度延伸到生活週遭，目的在於將這些觀察結論再反饋運用到未來創作之上。
5. 以自身為藝術創作者的角度對於學校教學方向上的一個補充與回應，教學成果是學生、老師的特質與學校風格總和的整體面貌。
