Over the years, I have listened to various talent tests, and I am not surprised. "Looking forward to a child's success, looking forward to a woman's success", parents cultivate their children's hobbies at all costs.
But you have to pass the exam every time you study. I wonder what the atmosphere is.
The other day, I heard from my sister that her daughter was going to take the creative arts level 3 exam. I can't help but express some personal opinions. My suggestion is to ask her not to let her children take these unwarranted certificates.
Two years ago, I took my children to an early education class. I heard that children have to take grades when they learn to draw. As an art major, I feel puzzled. Is there still an exam for fine arts? Am I ignorant?
After all, I have left the campus for so many years, and there is no development in the industry. Maybe the market rules have changed! But then I asked a few friends who were developing in the industry, and they all said they had never heard of it.
For the sake of prudence, I wrote this article after doing a lot of investigation and collecting information.

Let's first take a look at how celebrities in the industry evaluate the grading phenomenon.
Mr. Mo Zhai, researcher of China Academy of Art
Children's piano can be graded, children's dance can be graded, and children's art can't be graded.
Because children's art is a precious relic of human primitive nature, a natural teacher of artists and a' master's painting'!
There is no fixed technical level to standardize it, limit it and evaluate it. Into the level is to kill it!
Chen Mo, a professor of fine arts at Chengdu Academy of Fine Arts (the wording of the artistic creativity test is quite sharp, hitting the nail on the head)
The way of grading examination is taken out of context, which stifles nature and creativity and is harmful and useless.
Children's education, pay attention to the situation, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, cultivate quality, and govern by doing nothing.
You have to do the opposite in the grading exam, and you will be cursed. Creativity is the foundation, technology is the purpose, and it is irreversible.
It is outrageous to lead teenagers astray, practice skills and compete for high and low.
Wang Lin, Professor of sichuan fine arts institute Fine Arts Department.
You should cancel the art test! The art test is ridiculous.
Because if children want to learn art, painting and art, the most important thing is to stimulate their creativity, let them play freely, and learn to express themselves with materials and various ways.
So in my opinion, it is a kind of harm to ask these children who love art to take the exam with academic and technical indicators.
Grading is to set a fixed standard, and children must meet that standard, but artistic talent can't be determined by a standard.
Ma Yiping, Dean of Chengdu Academy of Fine Arts.
I am firmly opposed to the children's art test.
In the category of art grading examination, dance and music may have certain positive significance as grading examination.
Because early technical training is very necessary and core in the study of dance and music, the step-by-step quantitative scale proposed in the examination may have certain positive significance in the examination of dance and music.
Because early technical training is very necessary and core in the study of dance and music, the step-by-step quantitative standard put forward by the examination grade is desirable to some extent.
However, in the field of music, some musicians and professors do not recognize the practice of graded examinations.
Pianist Lang Lang not only claimed that he had never taken the exam, but also publicly stated that he was closer to music than to the exam.
Zhao Xiaosheng, a professor at Shanghai Conservatory of Music, has repeatedly mocked and criticized the graded examination in Weibo. He thinks there is no reason to learn music except a meaningless certificate.
The exam is easy, but the art is difficult. Just because you study hard and practice your skills and pass the 10 level doesn't mean that you have reached the top level in your major. It just means that you can go further in this field, that's all.

Generally speaking, you can't get extra points in the talent test, and a paper certificate has no practical significance. However, when we look at the examination phenomenon with dialectics, it still has certain positive effects:
Grading is equivalent to learning to punch cards, so that children have clear goals to work hard and carry out higher-level challenges. It encourages children to stick to it. Every time you complete a phased study and get a certificate, children can also get a sense of accomplishment from it.
Parents don't understand themselves. Only by passing the grade examination can we prove the teacher's intention and the children's learning is effective. Only with the certificate of grade examination can they prove that the money invested in children is not wasted.
However, some scholars believe that grading examination is a kind of "fast food culture", which is untenable, and parents should take their children to "eat fast food" less.
Grading naturally has its positive side, but we should not blindly follow the crowd and consider it according to the children's own reality.
If we only cultivate children's interest and don't take the road of artistry, parents should figure out the advantages and disadvantages and let children "prove" that they have learned this specialty to a certain extent, and it is no problem to have a certain level.
After all, a certificate is better than no certificate, right? At least if the child gives up, it can prove that he has learned. As a symbol of his study and growth, the certificate is also a good memorable item.
Don't let children take exams for the sake of exams, but cultivate her pursuit of a beautiful lifestyle, let beauty fill her life and make monotonous study life rich and interesting.
Grade examination is a means, not an end, and it needs the long-term persistence of all talents. True artistic accomplishment cannot be proved by certificates. As parents, we should not be overly superstitious.
