The following is the role of dance in aesthetic education
Aesthetic education is an important aspect of human self-construction, which integrates a person's social nature with his or her physical nature in the psyche, so that he or she reaches the highest standard of the realm of life. Dance, on the other hand, is a form of art that expresses people's thoughts and feelings and reflects social life by taking human movement through organization, beautification and artistic processing as the main means of expression. How to reflect the characteristics of aesthetic education in our dance teaching, how the relationship between aesthetic education and dance teaching, the following are some of my views.
I. Aesthetic education and dance art
People's understanding of the concept of aesthetic education has a narrow and broad sense. Education in the broad sense, that is, usually referred to as "aesthetic education"; narrow sense of aesthetic education, also known as "art education". People who hold a broad view of education believe that aesthetic education should not only focus on art education, but also penetrate into psychological education, ethical education and various disciplines, with the help of social life, nature, many real images of beauty for people to carry out aesthetic education, so that people set up a correct concept of aesthetics, moral concepts.
Aesthetic education is to cultivate the young generation's feeling for beauty in nature, social life, daily life, literature and art works, to cultivate their interest in love of beauty, aesthetic point of view and aesthetic ability, and to develop the ability to create beauty.
Aesthetic education has its unique function in the education that constitutes the comprehensive development of human personality, and the promotion of aesthetic education is an inevitable requirement of history and a sign of social civilization and progress. At the beginning of the founding of the country, China's Ministry of Education put forward the education policy of moral education, intellectual education, physical education and aesthetic education, is more emphasis on aesthetic education. For example, the requirements of aesthetic education for kindergartens are: "Cultivate young children's concept of love of beauty and interest, and enhance their imagination and creativity." The requirement for aesthetic education in elementary school is: "To enable children to have the concept of love of beauty and the initial ability to appreciate art." This requirement is reasonable, it guides our elementary school, kindergarten art education gradually on the right track.
The Ten-Year Catastrophe, aesthetics was knocked into the cold, beauty education was canceled, and whoever advocates beauty education will be labeled as "propaganda of the capitalist way of life" political hat. It has caused harm to the cause of education for all to see.
In recent years, aesthetics has gradually aroused people's interest, resulting in today's "aesthetics fever". This is not accidental, it shows that people need beauty, aspire to beauty, beauty is science, science can not be prohibited. This situation calls for further improvement of aesthetic education in schools at all levels and in all kinds of schools to adapt to and promote the construction of the two spiritual civilizations of socialism. Unfortunately, so far aesthetic education has not attracted enough attention from the whole society and some education departments. They have not yet y understood that in school education, the use of artistic beauty, social beauty and natural beauty of the image of young people's education, will play the role of the spring breeze, the role of subtle, can shape the beauty of the human heart, language, behavior and physical beauty, is to cultivate the overall development of human education can not be ignored as an important part of the important components. For this reason, some schools have yet to offer dance classes. I think every one of our educators, art educators, should call for publicity on the one hand, and on the other hand, through their own practice of art education, to improve the status of beauty education, to change this undesirable status of beauty education.
So where are the benefits of aesthetic education in the art of dance? This must begin with the characteristics of dance art.
Dance is the art of expressing thoughts and contents through certain movements of the human body, gestures, dancing and modeling. Dance is an image of man-made beauty, non-natural forms, special forms of expression of beauty. The dancer makes people get artistic beauty from his dexterous body, or emotionally satisfied.
The art of dance is accomplished in a certain space and time, and is a kind of space and time modeling art that fades in the flow.
Dance is long in expression, and the feelings in dance are more concentrated and stronger than those in reality, which is a kind of consciousness, introspection and refinement of human emotions on reality. Through it, people's feelings and good sentiments can be cultivated.
The function of the beauty of dance lies in the creation of distinctive and vivid artistic images rich in meaning in accordance with the laws of beauty and aesthetic ideals, in order to mold the human soul and satisfy people's aesthetic needs. Like other sister arts, it has the functions of cognition, propaganda, education and entertainment, and its aesthetic benefits also lie in this.
It can be seen from the above discussion that dance teaching is an important way to realize aesthetic education, and it is also the most feasible and effective form.
Two, the art of dance in vocational education aesthetic education
With the wave of reform rolling in, beauty is surrounding us, becoming the main tone and theme of life in our time. As students of higher education institutions, they should have higher aesthetic ability and aesthetic interest in order to undertake the social responsibility of educating others and to achieve their own perfection. As art majors, aesthetic education is mainly reflected through the teaching and activities of art disciplines including dance. Schiller, a famous modern French aesthetician, believed that the way to achieve spiritual liberation and the formation of a perfect personality, i.e., to create talents capable of vigorously promoting the forward development of human society, is through aesthetic education. China's modern and famous educator Cai Yuanpei, who clearly advocated aesthetic education, believes that: aesthetic education has an extremely important relationship with the success of human beings.
As far as each of us is concerned, of course, we all want to achieve our own perfection, in other words, we seek to achieve both the mind (content) and the body (form) to achieve the degree of perfection. The beauty of the mind is internal, referring to the human mind, spirit, sentiment, character and demeanor, etc. The beauty of the body is external. Physical beauty is external, that is, refers to the human body shape, instrumentation, demeanor and other aspects. Dance is an art form that harmonizes and unifies one's inner and outer beauty. American dancer Isadora Duncan said, "Dance should be a medium for the body to express the mind" and "a reflection of the mind." Therefore, students can appreciate dance and learn and perform dance to experience beautiful, noble, healthy, gentle, robust, delicate and rough feelings in order to cultivate themselves; they can improve their aesthetic awareness in the artistic images of truth and falsehood, good and evil, beauty and ugliness; they can envision and pursue the ideal society and the ideal things through the artistic images of dance in order to set up their own personal and social ideals; they can express their mind's imagination and imagination through dance activities; and they can express their mind's imagination and imagination through the dance activities. Through dance activities, they can express their imagination and personal will, enjoy the beauty of dance and the beauty of life, and promote the formation of their own perfection and so on. Contemporary youth are paying more and more attention to the beauty of their own appearance, and dance education plays a very important role in the physical beauty of young students as well as the temperament.
People have seen the dancers, they are well-proportioned, beautifully shaped, enviable. In the current young students in the natural body is not beautiful people are not few, such as neck, neck, shrug shoulders, collapse waist, bow back, pouting buttocks, inside and outside the eight steps of the people are not lacking. In addition to a small number of congenital deformities, most of which are usually not pay attention to physical exercise, accustomed to some kind of incorrect posture and caused. Dancing is an activity that pays attention to the beauty of the body. People stand up straight, tighten the abdomen and chest, shoulders and neck, eyes flat, this training is a certain inner, upward sense of uprightness. Only with such a posture, dancing to the melodic beat of music, can one's form and movement appear elegant and generous. It can be imagined that, because the dance posture in the dance requires beautiful coordination, over time will make people develop good habits, as a result, our students will step lightly, limbs stretch, body upright. The posture is generous. As the famous British scholar Bacon said: "The beauty of looks is higher than the beauty of color, and the beauty of the appropriate movements of the show, and higher than the beauty of looks, which is the essence of beauty." So that the beauty of the whole body of the students, but also to fill their hearts with the sense of beauty, which is the function of the dance aesthetic education.
The role of dance training in shaping students' demeanor is more obvious, and practice has proved that dance plays a subtle role in forming a series of good manners, such as quiet, harmonious, tolerant, generous, enthusiastic, optimistic, bold, sharp, and dignified. Dance education in shaping the external image of students, to play a normative behavior, cultivate its lively, brisk, stable form of psychological outward appearance of the personality, to adjust their daily life tends to be supersocial and non-scientific (which mainly refers to instrumentation, dress, clothing, hairstyle and other issues).
The role of dance education in shaping the internal image of the student cannot be underestimated. Teachers' labor, the role of children and teenagers, is not a simple "external sculpture" activities, but a profound "internalization" process. Through dance education, to cultivate students selflessness, courage to overcome difficulties, openness and integrity, consistent and wide soft and cautious psychological qualities.
More prominently, dance education can cultivate students to express the beauty of the performance, the expression of the performance of the beautiful and vivid, rhythmic, full of melody, figurative and full of emotion, can be pleasing to the ear, refreshing people's hearts, hear their voices, such as seeing their people, such as the realm. Teachers in the teaching of dynamic is normal, through the dance training can make students develop the dynamic habits of beauty. Such as hand waving, foot movement, body pitching, can maintain a certain arc, to curve for beauty. Small and fast arc, showing robust and powerful; arc large and slow, showing soft and loose. The size of the strong and weak, depending on the situation, the beauty is in it.
The above is the utility of dance education for the student's own perfection. It is good to be alone, but it is not enough, because they have to be not only the enlightener of knowledge and science, but also the purveyor of beauty, the engineer of the soul of mankind. They want to cultivate the talents needed in the new era, they must first solve the problem of their own beautiful overall image. Teachers are respected and admired by the example, model role, not only focus on his own image of perfection, but also to influence the next generation with its perfect image.
To sum up, dance is a comprehensive time and space of the pure form of art, it is in accordance with the laws of beauty and aesthetic ideals, to create a distinctive and vivid, rich in meaning of the artistic image, so that people form the unity of the inner beauty and outer beauty, to meet people's aesthetic needs. Dance teaching has an important role in aesthetic education, with the help of dance teaching art education is the main form of aesthetic education and an important way
