Chapter 42: Graffiti (2)
The entire Taikoo Art Museum consists of several areas, including an exhibition area, a teaching area, an activity area, and an office area.
For Li Jing, it's more like an art gallery. For Ran Xing, this is a school for children to cultivate their interest in art.
Of the two functions, Li Jing prefers the latter.
Li Jing came today with an attitude of scrutiny, and he would not ignore the original purpose of coming today just because Ran Xing was beautiful. In his opinion, a five-year-old child, no matter how quiet he is, can't really like such a boring thing as drawing.
In fact, he has no prejudice against art, on the contrary, because of what he has experienced, he admires those who engage in art, especially those who engage in art, and he also has a deep understanding of the richness and variety of art. He just didn't know how to cultivate children's sense of art, and he bought the "3-6 Year Old Children's Development Guide" at the teacher's suggestion, but because there were too many things during this time, he only read a small part.
The event began quickly.
Under the guidance of the staff, the three changed into a set of integrated aprons, and took off their shoes and socks before entering the event venue.
The event venue is set up in Xinxin's second art classroom, and the entire classroom is more than 400 square meters. There were no desks or benches in the classroom, but on either side were two four-story wooden shelves with wooden barrels filled with paint, which was liquid, viscous but tasteless.
"What is this for?" asked Li Jing a little nervously.
Zhou Yanan seemed to be happy to see him like this, "You'll know later." ”
After Xin Xin took off her shoes, she happily went to find her classmates. This alone is different from many children. But after a while, I found that all my classmates were holding the hands of her parents tightly, and she came back.
The little face was depressed, and Li Jing couldn't stop laughing.
"Baba, that's our teacher. Xin Xin suddenly tugged at his clothes and whispered.
Li Jing looked in the direction she was pointing, and a woman about sixty years old walked up to the podium with a kind smile and an amiable face.
With her appearance, the parents who had been chatting stopped talking.
"Hello everyone, I am the head teacher of the graffiti class at the Taikoo Art Museum, Chang Meiling. As she introduced herself, the parents who had been listening carefully couldn't help but be shocked.
"Chang Meiling, she can't be Chang Meiling, the president of the Huaxia Children's Art Association, right?" exclaimed a parent who had obviously heard the name but had never seen a real person.
"I can't be wrong, I did an issue of art magazine the year before last, and I met this senior. ”
"Originally, I thought that the tuition fees here were too high, but I didn't expect that it was her old man who was teaching, and it was worth the money!"
"Your child has only been here for a short time, right?"
"Yes, I was going to find a random one, but my husband insisted that I report it to my children. ”
"No wonder! Teacher Chang only comes occasionally, and usually her disciples come to teach. ”
"Isn't that a lie to people under your own banner?"
"Cut! What is the identity of Teacher Chang, being able to have a class with the children once a month is already squeezed out of time. Besides, Teacher Chang's disciple is a university professor-level figure. ”
Through everyone's discussion, Li Jing knew what kind of status this teacher Chang in Xinxin's mouth was. Seeing Zhou Yanan's flat face, and then looking at his own appearance, he was embarrassed.
"Thank you parents for taking the time out of their busy schedules to participate in our graffiti event. Before we begin, I'd like to give you a brief overview of what we're doing today. ”
"When it comes to art, many parents have such a misunderstanding. I feel that art is nothing more than painting, so that my children can calm down, sit still, and be patient. We cannot say that this understanding is wrong, we can only say that it is incomplete. Since the beginning of the 21st century, living conditions have become better and better, and the professional requirements for us educators have also increased. That's a good thing. ”
"In the past, we only focused on the teaching of knowledge and skills in art education, and for children, it was limited to the coordinated development of brain, eye and hand. However, with the development of society and the promotion of comprehensive quality education, the state requires us art educators not only to focus on the teaching of knowledge, but also to develop children's intellectual, emotional, aesthetic and ideological aspects, so many people say that art education is a comprehensive humanistic education. ”
"I would like to give special thanks to our teacher Ran at the Taikoo Art Museum, who has provided such a good platform for us art educators. As can be seen from the name of this class, Ms. Ran is an excellent educator who understands and understands children. Three to six years old children, the understanding of beauty is still in the establishment stage, in this stage, graffiti is the main form of children's art expression, and how we want children to find fun in graffiti, stimulate their interest, establish their sense of achievement, this is the most critical point in graffiti teaching. ”
"Well, no matter how much you say, you might as well do it once. The rest of the time will be handed over to our teacher Liu. ”
After speaking, Chang Meiling stepped off the podium, and after chatting with Ran Xing for a few words, Ran Xing left with Chang Meiling.
Li Jing made a special observation that there were more than 30 families in the classroom, most of whom still had experience scrolls in their hands, and these were obviously not students of the Taikoo Art Museum.
Although Chang Meiling's words just now are full of educational perception, there is also some taste of advertising. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the woman named Ran Xing.
Teacher Liu is Chang Meiling's disciple. She came up mainly to explain today's operation process.
The process is as simple as a few days when they spread a cloth of various colors throughout the classroom, and then parents can use any color on the wooden shelves on both sides to create graffiti with their children. In layman's terms, it is, scribble.
The point is, they don't have any tools. Paintbrushes or something, let alone think about it. They need to find their own way to help the children finish today's painting happily.
After introducing the rules, Mr. Liu stepped down from the podium and looked at the parents with a smile. Seeing this, all parents know that the activity has begun.
Because it was a family of three, everyone slowly discussed it as a family.
"Xinxin, what do you want to paint?" Zhou Yanan asked Xinxin.
"Xinxin doesn't know. Xinxin shook her head.
Every time, the teacher tells them what to draw, and even if they don't, they will show them a cartoon or tell a story first. In this way, they will have a certain sense of picture in their minds, but now that the teacher has not said anything, they are really confused when they are asked to draw all of a sudden.
Zhou Yanan gave him a rare look for help.
Li Jing frowned, what kind of lesson is this!
