How to understand "life is higher than the beauty of art" and "art is higher than the beauty of life"?

Because art comes from life, but it is the essence extracted from life. It is naturally higher than life. Just like essence is extracted from flowers, you cannot say that essence is equal to Baihua.

1. Analysis of teaching materials:

The "Art Curriculum Standards for Full-time Compulsory Education" requires the "Appreciation and Commentary" class at the junior high school stage that students can "appreciate and appreciate art works and art." A brief review of the phenomenon." "Appreciation and Commentary" is a teaching activity that analyzes, explains, and judges works of art. Commentary focuses more on the expression of understanding and evaluation of art works.

Currently, students' appreciation of art works is often measured by "likeness", which reflects students' simple understanding of the relationship between art and life and their belief that art should reflect life. However, the artistic images created by many art works are different from the real prototypes in life. Students cannot explain this. Especially about the relationship between modern art and life, they cannot understand and have many doubts. Maybe "appreciation" won't comment. The purpose of studying this course is to enable students to better understand the relationship between art and life, that is, "art comes from life and is higher than life", and to lay the foundation for appreciating and commenting on art works.

Marxist philosophy believes that matter is primary, consciousness is secondary, and consciousness is the active reflection of matter. As social ideology, art is a reflection of social existence. As a materialized form of human consciousness, art works are the result of artists' active reflection of social existence, and they act on society.

The creation of fine art works is divided into two categories: reproducibility and expression. Representational art aims to truly reproduce the objective world, and the artistic image of the work is realistic and realistic. Artists express their understanding, emotions and thoughts of the world by truly reproducing the image of objective objects, and the artistic images they create are praised for their lifelikeness. Expressive painting uses objective objects as the medium, mainly to express the author's personal subjective spirit, that is, thoughts, emotions or aesthetic ideals. The artistic image of the picture is exaggerated, deformed, or combined with absurdities to create a new art world. In abstract and surrealist paintings in expressive art, although the artistic images shown in the pictures are very different from the prototypes in life, they still originate from life. If there is no experience of life, it will not be the same. There will be no formal understanding of emotional expression in painting. Therefore, it not only originates from life, but is higher than life.

2. Teaching ideas:

Dong Xiwen's "The Founding Ceremony" is a classic of realist oil painting. The students all praised this painting as a good one, but what is so good about it is that the artistic treatment of the picture is higher than life. All we need to do is compare the "prototypes in life" with the work, and then analyze it using the information provided on related art treatment techniques. , students can understand.

3. Teaching objectives:

Teaching difficulties: Use art works as the entry point to enable students to understand that "art originates from life and is higher than life."

1. The traditional Chinese painting "Shrimp" (Qi Baishi)

① Reflection of the traditional Chinese painting "Shrimp" (Textbook P4)

Qi Baishi is a famous artist in my country. He has achieved high achievements in poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing. Qi Baishi opposed being rigidly attached to physical resemblance in painting, and advocated that painting should have both form and spirit. He believes that "the beauty of painting lies between resemblance and dissimilarity" and that "too much resemblance is kitsch, but not enough resemblance is deceiving the world" is not advisable.

Take the shrimps he painted as an example: People think they look very similar. The shrimps are transparent and can swim and jump. But when we compare the shrimps in the painting with real shrimps in life, they are very different.

②The artistic treatment of "Shrimp":

Qi Baishi summarized an extremely concise painting method based on real shrimps, making the shrimps he painted different from real shrimps. The eyes of the real shrimp look like small dots, but he used thick ink and horizontal strokes to draw the shrimp's eyes very prominently, making it look very energetic. The real shrimp has many legs, but he simplified them and only drew five, making them appear numerous and vivid. Therefore, the shrimps he painted not only make people feel that they are live shrimps full of vitality, foraging and swimming, but also let people experience the artistic beauty of vigorous and powerful brushwork and ink colors that change between dry and wet shades.

2 Art originates from life and is higher than life

③The artistic characteristics and artistic charm of "Shrimp".

The head and tail of the shrimp painted by Qi Baishi are from a top view, and the waist is from a side view, which are composed of the two most distinctive characteristics of the shrimp. It is precisely because the artist concentrated and strengthened the typical characteristics of shrimps that the shrimps he painted are more typical and higher than real shrimps. Based on long-term observation and in accordance with the requirements of beauty, the painter turned the shrimp in life into an artistic image. It is inseparable from the characteristics of the object, but due to the painter's exaggeration and choices, the viewer's lively impression of the shrimp is even stronger. , it is "wonderful between similarity and dissimilarity", giving people a beautiful enjoyment.

The reason why Qi Baishi's works are so touching lies in the emotion contained in the images - the overflowing poetry and love for life also induce and inspire people's love for life.

2. The oil painting "Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China" (Dong Xiwen)

①Play the video clip of "The Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China".

② Show one oil painting and one photograph each about the "Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China". (Textbook P4)

This is a revolutionary historical painting deeply welcomed by the masses. The painting is 4.05 meters wide and 2.3 meters high, oil painting. Painted between 1952 and 1953, now in the Museum of Chinese Revolutionary History.

The main subject of the picture is Chairman Mao Zedong and other central leaders on the Tiananmen Gate. On behalf of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, we solemnly declare to the whole world: The People's Republic of China was founded, and the Chinese people have stood up since then. This solemn voice resounded through Tiananmen Square, echoed throughout the motherland, and shocked the whole world. It shows the magnificent scene of the founding ceremony of New China and reproduces the epoch-making moment that "the Chinese people have stood up since then".

③Students read textbook P6 and discuss the differences between the two in groups.

④Students publish the results of the discussion.

⑤The teacher analyzes and summarizes the artistic characteristics of the oil painting "The Founding Ceremony".

The artistic treatment method of the oil painting "The Founding Ceremony":

--Using oil painting techniques to emphasize the sense of space;

--Opening the door of Chairman Mao The distance from the leaders, the perspective lines of the crowd, the handrails and the direction of the light spikes lead to Chairman Mao, highlighting the central position of Chairman Mao;

--Reduce the number of nearby columns and raise the height Lanterns, seeing the crowds and red flags on the square, set off the grand and warm atmosphere of the celebration;

--Blue sky, white clouds, red lights, and red pillars, the colors are bright and bright;

- -The chrysanthemums on the rostrum represent the golden autumn harvest season of National Day.

Although the national leaders only occupy one-third of the screen on the left side, they are very eye-catching against the warm-toned red lanterns, red pillars, and red carpets. The strong and burly figure of Chairman Mao Zedong is in the center of the picture, which also embodies the core of the leadership of the whole of China. It echoes with thousands of people in the distance. The Communist Party of China is proud to open a new page in Chinese history. The painter's handling of composition, coloring, characters and other scenes reflect the boldness and grace of a great country. If you have been to the Tiananmen Gate Tower, you will better appreciate the boldness and ingenuity of the author's composition. The painter widened the actual distance between the red pillars on the left and right sides of the picture, and moved the group of red pillars on the right outside the picture; he stretched the railings, carpets, and parades in parallel to fully express the grand mass scene.

The Tiananmen Square faces north and south. The central leaders originally faced south and stood behind Chairman Mao Zedong, in the backlight and with their backs to the audience. The painter boldly moved the position of the central leader to the left corner, thus eliminating the phenomenon of backlighting and facing away from the audience, making the picture appear brighter and more joyful. Looking more closely, Chairman Mao's group is not facing due south. In addition, the weather on the day of the ceremony was cloudy and rainy, but the artist changed it to a sunny day with clear autumn air, giving people a refreshing and cheerful feeling of having the weather as they wish. All these bold changes will not be noticed by ordinary people when looking at the painting, and they will not analyze these situations, giving the impression that the painting truly and appropriately represents the grand occasion of the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. It must be so. This is the artist's bold and superb composition skills, which embodies a profound truth: art is not an undistorted "copy" of life, nor a replica or backup of life. If life is the prototype of art, then art is the sublimation of life. Art comes from life and is higher than life!

In this painting, the artist tried hard to adapt Western oil painting techniques to our nation's aesthetics, especially in color processing, emphasizing the simplicity of color and strong contrast. The red carpet, red lanterns, red pillars and the sea of ??red flags in the distance form a contrasting tone with the blue sky and green trees, making the picture warm and bright; the contrast between the golden chrysanthemums and the blue sky and white clouds. It not only lights up the crisp autumn season, but also echoes the yellow spikes of lights, enhancing the luxurious, brilliant and magnificent festive atmosphere. In short, the painting emphasizes the inherent color of the object and weakens the Western painting method of using color that varies with light and environment. It incorporates the fine brushwork and heavy color painting techniques of Chinese painting and the color characteristics of Dunhuang murals. When the painter painted the red carpet, he also uniquely added sand grains to the paint to achieve unexpected artistic effects. The painter's profound artistic skills make this painting an excellent work with strong artistic appeal.

(5) Class summary: Art The relationship between creation and life

1. Combining the courseware with the discussion of famous experts on "art comes from life and is higher than life"

"Art comes from life, but it is not life." It is a reproduction and backup of life and art. It is an artistic treatment of typical life. Art works are higher, more intense, more concentrated, more typical and more ideal than ordinary life. "--Mao Zedong

2. Teachers and students *** jointly summarize the "relationship between artistic creation and life", and the courseware reflects the "diagram of the relationship between artistic creation and life"

Life is the source of artistic creation , life provides artists with rich creative themes and inspirations, allowing artists to discover beauty. Life also gives artists passion, allowing them to create beauty based on their perceptions. Then they use various artistic means as a medium to reproduce or express beauty. This is where artworks that are larger than life come from.
