“气韵”是中国画创作和评论中一个涵义丰富的元概念。作为绘画术语,它最早出现在谢赫的《古画品录》,此后逐渐发展为中国画艺术要求的最高原则、超常境界和最高审美标准。从美术教育视角来看,当代中国画作品中气韵缺失已是不争的事实。为走出困境,建议气韵养成要从美术教育教学的基本面做起。 “Qi Yun ” is a rich concept of meta-concepts in Chinese painting creation and commentary. As a painting term, it first appeared in Sheikh’s “Old Paintings Catalog”, and then gradually developed into the highest principle of Chinese painting art, extraordinary realm and the highest aesthetic standards. From the perspective of art education, the lack of aura in contemporary Chinese painting is an indisputable fact. In order to get out of the predicament, it is suggested that the initiation of aesthetics should start from the fundamentals of art education and teaching.
