Wu Weishan, vice chairman of the China Artists Association, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference: Use aesthetic education to awaken sleeping people
In March, when spring is in full bloom, with the convening of the national "two sessions", "aesthetic education" has become a hot issue in society and has received widespread attention. Wu Weishan, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, director of the Fine Arts Research Institute of the China Academy of Arts, vice chairman of the China Artists Association, president of the China Sculpture Academy, deputy director of the National Urban Sculpture Construction Steering Committee and director of the Art Committee, dean and professor of the Academy of Fine Arts of Nanjing University, and doctoral supervisor of fine arts and design art, pointed out that the role of art education is to liberate people's nature and tap people's creativity.
Art education: liberate people's nature and tap people's creativity
"When we were children, by nature curious, we were already good at using the colors of crayons to depict the world as we saw it. Fine art is a plastic art, whether a person appreciates art or the foundation of painting, must think through his own brain and feel in his heart, only in this way can he understand and grasp the connotation of the work. ”
Wu Weishan believes that art education is both abstract and vivid, which not only cultivates people's ability to appreciate and feel beauty, but also improves people's artistic creativity. At present, foreign art education has received great attention, not only to cultivate people's ability to feel and appreciate beauty, but more importantly, to cultivate people's creativity. Human creativity exerts great potential, and once the potential is developed, it will create an incomparably huge material and spiritual wealth.
Art education: Another way to pursue wisdom
The scientific intelligence content hidden in the art of art is originally an inherent thing in the value system of art education, which was closely integrated in the early days of human civilization. Wu Weishan said, "In the past hundred years, scientists have begun to dabble in art, and many artists have begun to favor science, and the results have been unexpected, art education is not only conducive to the development of mental health, but also promotes career progress." Because art education also has a multi-faceted knowledge system, among which mathematical knowledge occupies an important position. To have good painting skills, you must also have a certain mathematical foundation. Therefore, art education is conducive to the development of people's intelligence from another aspect. ”
"Art education has a prominent role in promoting the development of students' observation, memory, thinking, imagination, and creativity. Art education guides students to observe and perceive things from the outside through courses such as painting, calligraphy, sculpture, sculpture, etc., so that students have the ability to grasp the external characteristics of things such as shape, color, structure, quality, etc., until they fully perceive the essence of a thing, and then improve students' sensitivity to things. ”
In addition, Wu Weishan proposed that students can improve their image memory through in-depth and meticulous observation of the image of things, thereby improving their intelligence level. When students understand, appreciate and create works of art, they always understand the image and content of the art work through their own imagination, reflection and experience of the artistic conception of the work of art. "Different people have different understanding and perception of the same work. The same work of art can cause students to understand the imagination differently, and the same content can create different artistic effects through different imaginations. Different feelings, different creations, different lives. Art education brings a new field of infinite pursuit to seekers. ”
Art education: people's instinctive desire for beauty
"Art, as a way to express children's own emotions, is very common in life. Especially in nature. A small flower, a leaf or a small bird first becomes the object of children's paintings, because their silhouettes are simple and popular, easy to understand, and childish works are full of children's inner world understanding and emotions of things, the most beautiful innocence and simplicity. Therefore, the necessary aesthetic guidance for students is needed and urgent for social development. Once values collapse, it's easy to commit crime. Wu Weishan said that the understanding of aesthetic emotions covers people's perception, cognition, understanding and expression of things, which is simply a need for emotional release, and is a special psychological reflection and emotional elaboration of people's objective reality.
"An excellent work of art usually allows the viewer to see the connotation expressed at the moment of contact with it, so as to resonate, if it conforms to their own emotions, it is attracted, on the contrary, it is instinctively rejected, and the attraction produces a different mood that cannot be controlled by itself, and then there are unique, different, and rich emotional and psychological activities, which makes people have a vision and reverie for future life, which is what people often call aesthetic emotions." When it comes to fine arts, Wu Weishan always has a lot to say, "It is a psychological reaction of the aesthetic subject to whether the objective aesthetic object meets his needs, which is manifested as a certain subjective attitude and experience of the aesthetic subject to the objective aesthetic object." Therefore, the impact of art education on people is comprehensive, diverse, and not single. Attaching importance to art education should start from society, the state, parents and individuals. ”
Mr. Wu Weishan's artistic outlook was deeply influenced by Mr. Lu Xun. Lu Xun believes: "Therefore, artists have three elements: one is heavenly things, the other is thinking, and the third is beautification. There must be these three elements in the art of origin, so the boundary between other things is extremely strict. The purpose and application of "fine art" is that fine art can express culture; fine art can support morality; and fine art can rescue the economy. He advocates the art of "for life", pays attention to the reality, nationality, era and commonality of art, and pursues strong artistic beauty.
Mr. Wu Weishan inherits the spirit of Mr. Lu Xun's "warrior", unremittingly pursues "using art to awaken sleeping people", he uses vivid and profound, sensual and connotative visual creation, with the thoroughness and sharpness of words, to explain beauty and express beauty. He is the awakener of beauty. His awakening not only revitalizes the sleeping beauty of history, but also awakens the people of the country with beauty and leads the pace of "beauty" of a nation.
At the same time, Mr. Wu Weishan also clearly mentioned that the biggest problem facing aesthetic education is the problem of teachers. "I think the most important thing in this aesthetic education is to have a good aesthetic education teacher, that is, to have a million male teachers to support this aesthetic education." Of course, the so-called aesthetic education teacher here not only refers to the teacher in art education, good painting technology, strong professional quality, these conditions must also be coupled with the ability to understand education, can educate, and love education. Wu Weishan believes that a very embarrassing situation now is that the fact that "teachers who can educate do not understand art, and teachers who understand art are not good at education" is also telling us that teachers should also keep pace with the times, follow the students to accept aesthetic education, and expand the aesthetic education team, so that aesthetic education is no longer just a hot topic, but the actual action of all levels of society. ”
