How to implement art education (a paper for a friend)

Art course is the main way to implement aesthetic education in schools. The formulation of new fine arts curriculum standards strives to reflect the requirements of quality education and provides an important basis for the reform of fine arts curriculum in primary and secondary schools. How to carry out the new curriculum standard and implement the spirit of the new curriculum standard is a new topic faced by art educators in primary and secondary schools. Keywords harmony, synthesis, exploration, intuition, feeling, interest, innovation and evaluation, people are increasingly aware of the unique role of art education in improving and perfecting people's quality today. There are still many places where art education in compulsory education in China cannot meet the requirements of quality education. We must promote the development of art education through curriculum reform. The new curriculum standard of fine arts in primary and secondary schools has broken the knowledge framework of traditional fine arts teaching. It divides learning fields according to learning activities from a brand-new perspective, strengthens the comprehensiveness and exploration of learning activities, emphasizes the cultivation of students' interest in learning, participation in cooperation and emotional experience, pays attention to the cultivation of students' innovative spirit, and improves students' comprehensive quality through art practice activities, so that each student can develop on his own original basis. Curriculum reform is not only the reform of content, but also the reform of teaching process and teaching methods. How should art teachers position their role in teaching and how should they run through the spirit of the new curriculum standard? Below, I will talk about my own practice and experience in art classroom teaching practice. First, create a relaxed and free learning environment and create an equal and harmonious teaching atmosphere. People often have this experience: in a relaxed and happy environment, they are often in a good mood, active in thinking and prone to whimsy, which is conducive to the development of personality. Teachers should not only impart knowledge, but also become promoters, instructors and collaborators of students' learning. In the past, in order to maintain good classroom discipline, we often asked our children to sit up straight and not talk. In fact, too many restrictions will make students lose interest in teaching. Creating a harmonious and equal learning atmosphere, putting down dignity and making friends with children are conducive to emotional exchange and communication between teachers and students. In class, I often tell some healthy and interesting jokes as the opening remarks, trying to attract students with vivid and interesting language, stimulate students' interest in learning and enliven the classroom atmosphere. Teachers' teaching language and methods should conform to the characteristics of children's physical and mental development, and giving children more tolerance and patience, more care and love will make our teaching receive unexpected results. When students do their homework, I allow them to combine freely and discuss with several people, and also give them some freedom and space in expression and material selection. After finishing my homework, I asked them to post their works on the exhibition column, giving them a feeling that the art class is mainly to participate in various art activities. In a relaxed and free learning environment, it is easier for students to give full play to their individuality in an equal and harmonious teaching atmosphere. 2. Expanding spatial comprehensive learning into comprehensive learning and inquiry learning is a new feature of world education development, which plays a great role in developing students' comprehensive practical ability and inquiry and discovery ability. We have broken the boundaries of disciplines, making the knowledge of various disciplines permeate, blend and synthesize each other, which is conducive to improving the comprehensive quality of students. Introducing music, literature, nature and other disciplines into art classes can not only enrich the content and knowledge of art classes, but also broaden students' horizons. Czech educator Comenius said: "The beginning of knowledge must always come from the senses." Art is visual art. The best way for students to acquire knowledge easily and quickly is to show courseware, objects and other materials by using the principle of intuitive teaching, so that students can feel and experience, and constantly inspire and guide students to carefully observe and distinguish the specific characteristics of various objects in the process, and develop understanding through intuitive feeling. I often arrange for students to collect relevant materials before class to provide more abundant information and reference materials for teaching. In the process of collecting data, students learn the methods of collecting data on the one hand, and deepen their understanding of knowledge on the other hand, which plays a very good auxiliary role in teaching. I also use modern multimedia teaching methods to download relevant pictures on the Internet as the material for making courseware. When making courseware, I consider adding appropriate music and relevant knowledge, so as to make the classroom knowledge wider, wider and more knowledgeable. For example, in the "Future Cars" class, I not only showed students various models of modern cars, but also showed the development history and background information of cars, as well as the performance and technical characteristics of the automobile era. From people carrying heavy objects with rolling logs to the emergence of wheels, from the invention of steam engines to the birth of Beetles, to the manufacture of the latest land-air dual-use vehicles, a whole set of information has opened students' eyes, not only understanding the appearance of modern cars, but also understanding the origin and development of cars. Some related people, some countries and automobile manufacturers, and the history of automobile development is also the history of human science and civilization development ... On this basis, I will guide students to explore. What else can we do? After a class, it not only expands students' knowledge level, but also guides students to carry out inquiry learning, which expands a broader space for students' comprehensive knowledge learning and inquiry learning. Third, cultivate innovative spirit and improve artistic expression ability. Children have strong plasticity and extraordinary creativity, so we can't ignore the performance of children's personality and suppress the development of children's creativity. In class, I often use games and games to encourage them to bravely express their feelings and ideas, boldly associate some things and cultivate children's innovative spirit. In order to improve students' imagination and expressive force, I often write some teaching materials that help to tap students' creative potential. For example, I compiled a textbook whose imagination skills are great. In class, I ask the students to guess a few simple geometric shapes first. What do these shapes represent? Then ask the students to think: What else can these shapes represent through your imagination? So on this basis, what image can you create with these shapes? What methods can you use to express your ideas and your intentions? This is how I trained students to spread their imagination wings and fly freely in the artistic sky. I also often let students freely and creatively associate things around them, such as personifying still life and plants, adding exaggerated movements and expressions to them to create vivid and interesting images; In shaping the image, I object to the children applying formulas, which are the same, and everyone draws like a copy in the same mold; I ask children to be original, even if they draw something, they should draw it differently from others. Through a series of innovative thinking inspiration and image thinking performance training, children's innovative spirit is cultivated and their artistic expression ability is improved. Fourth, adopt a positive evaluation mechanism to promote students' development. In the past, our evaluation of students was too monotonous and rigid, which led to the result that children were not interested in evaluation and were numb. Now I usually use several methods: 1 to show students' works as much as possible, so that teachers and students can compare and have reference when evaluating their homework. 2. Take a few minutes to ask a few representative students to do self-evaluation. 3. Please comment with the whole class. 4. Teacher's comments. When evaluating students' homework, I usually use encouraging language, try to tap the bright spots they show in their works and share the joy of success with them. Even if the homework results are not ideal, we should pay attention to protecting children's self-esteem, encourage students with weak ability and enhance their self-confidence. Not only evaluate the effect of homework, but also pay more attention to the performance of students participating in art activities. Whether the new curriculum standard of fine arts can be implemented smoothly depends on whether its direct user-art teachers can understand its spirit and apply it to our teaching. As art educators in the new era, we should keep pace with the times and shoulder the heavy responsibility of curriculum reform.
