"In 2009, there were some changes in the form of art college entrance examination," teacher Wu Jiangdong, a professional leader of Hangzhou No.7 Middle School, told reporters. In the meantime, the majors of the bust (with hands) sketch test in China Academy of Fine Arts have increased, and the majors of portrait sketch and plaster sketch test have all tried sketch. The Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts still life sketch test is beyond the expectation of most candidates. After all, the sketch of Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts has not been tested for still life dictation for more than ten years. "As far as I know, the questions and examination methods of the art college entrance examination can't continue unchanged. If you want to change, sketching scenes and colorful landscapes may be options. " Teacher Wu Jiangdong said this.
In order to cope with the changes in the college entrance examination, Hangzhou No.7 Middle School made some special adjustments in the curriculum arrangement: sketch training began with plaster statues and the class hours of real-life sketch were increased. Through the teaching of sketching plaster statues and real-life sketching, the importance of modeling is highlighted and the basic modeling rules are mastered; Color training attaches importance to landscape sketch, strengthens the color tone through landscape sketch teaching, and enriches students' artistic expression; Sketch training runs through the whole process of professional learning. Sketch teaching can sharpen students' emotions and activate their artistic atmosphere.
In teaching practice, the teachers of this school have also made some new attempts: first, guide students to watch art exhibitions; The second is to offer design courses; The third is to correct the homework "Collective Operations".
Visiting art exhibitions can broaden people's horizons. In this regard, the school clearly pointed out that watching art exhibitions is an important part of learning, so that teachers can directly explain to students in front of the paintings in the exhibition hall. Offering design courses in art can inspire students' innovative thinking and increase their comprehensive quality. At the end of each teaching unit, the preparation team will evaluate the students' learning situation. Usually in the form of collective marking. In the process of collective marking, everyone expresses their opinions, which is also an exchange of aesthetic vision. In such a collective collision, good things will be absorbed and accepted by everyone, and any one-sided, extreme and over-personalized vision will be adjusted, thus gradually forming the overall teaching style of the art class in No.7 Middle School.
In addition, Mr. Wu Jiangdong also told the reporter that in the teaching practice of Hangzhou No.7 Middle School in recent years, it also emphasized that under the premise of respecting the basic laws of painting, showing personality and subjectively handling pictures should conform to the laws.
