"The first step in carving a face is to carve the ears, and then the eye sockets..." In the comprehensive practice class of Tunbao Sculpture at Liuguanxiang Junior High School in Xixiu District, Zhou Chengpeng, a special teacher, was explaining the steps of wood carving on a small mobile blackboard to the students.
Students, armed with axes in one hand and tools in the other, carefully try to carve on wood under the guidance of the teacher. For them, this special weekly lesson is very precious.
"Liuguan Township is a famous wood carving town, I have liked to watch the old people do wood carving since I was a child, and now I have the opportunity to learn, I must learn seriously and insist on learning!" Zhou Haitao, a junior high school student at Liuguanxiang Junior High School, said with a smile.
"The teaching of this special course has undergone more than 10 years of exploration." Zhao Chenghong, principal of Liuguanxiang Junior High School, told reporters that in 2006, the exploration experiment of "national folk art into the classroom" was launched in Liuguanxiang Junior High School, and the school set up a national folk culture working group, hired folk artists to participate in the research of the project, compiled school-based textbooks, hired folk artists to cooperate with school art teachers, and began to carry out the protection and inheritance of traditional culture in the practice of education and teaching activities.
Up to now, the school-based textbook of the course has been updated 4 times and further improved. In the process of understanding and appreciation, hands-on experience and innovative design, the students improved their art techniques such as sculpture and painting, and enhanced their knowledge and understanding of Tunbao culture. In the past 13 years, the number of people educated in the school has reached more than 3,000 people, and more than 1,100 students have completed wood carving training, and the school has won many honors such as Guizhou Provincial Ethnic and Folk Culture Education Project School and National Characteristic School.
"The exploration and practice of the national folk culture into the campus project in Liuguan Township provides a useful reference for the school curriculum development and practice activities of the Huangguoshu NationalIties Middle School in the Huangguoshu Tourism Area to carry out batik ethnic folk art into the classroom, the Guanling Buyi Autonomous County Nationalities Senior High School to carry out embroidery ethnic folk art into the classroom, and a series of demonstration schools for local ethnic and folk culture to enter the campus continue to emerge, driving the vigorous development of art education in the city." Ran Qianming, director of the Anshun Municipal Institute of Educational Sciences, introduced.
Nowadays, the course of Tunbao wu surface wood carving has been integrated into the school's comprehensive extracurricular activities as a long-term curriculum, and is taught according to the content of the school's "Tunbao Culture and Tunbao Wu Carving School-based Textbook", which details the appreciation, design and operation application of Tunbao wu surface carving.
