现在不少人把美术教育只当作单纯的技术训练,这是一种狭隘的功利主义认识。中小学的美术教学,主要应放在培养学生的想象力、创造力和审美教育上,其次才是技法的训练。想象是创造的母亲,没有幻想、联想的想象力就不会有创造的产生。我们为什么就不能多给学生们以开拓想象力的空间呢?小孩子都爱看的迪斯尼动画片米老鼠,这里边包含着无数妙趣横生的情节。这些情节看来似乎荒诞不经,但又合乎生活逻辑,更重要的是它给孩子们安上了想象的翅膀,含有无穷的智慧和健康的情感。我以为开启孩子们的想象力和创造力应该是第一位的,决不能以什么透视、色彩、构图等技术法则来约束他们,也不能以大人设定的内容来 Many people now regard art education as purely technical training. This is a narrow utilitarian understanding. The teaching of art in primary and secondary schools should mainly focus on cultivating students’ imagination, creativity and aesthetic education, followed by the training of techniques. Imagination is the mother of creation. Without imagination, imagination cannot be created. Why can’t we give students more space to open up their imaginations? The Disney cartoon Mickey Mouse, which children love to watch, contains countless interesting plots. These plots seem to be absurd, but they are in line with the logic of life. What’s more important is that it puts the imagination wings on the children and contains infinite wisdom and healthy emotions. I think that the children’s imagination and creativity should be the first one. They must not be constrained by technical rules such as perspective, color, and composition, nor can they be set by adults.
