Dance does not belong to aesthetic education, but aerobics belongs to sports
The following is the role of dance in aesthetic education
Aesthetic education is an important aspect of human self-construction. It integrates a person's social and physiological characteristics into the psychology, enabling a person to reach the highest standard of life. Dance is an art form that uses human body movements that have been organized, beautified and artistically processed as the main means of expression to express people's thoughts and feelings and reflect social life. Here are some of my views on how to reflect the characteristics of aesthetic education in our dance teaching, and what is the relationship between aesthetic education and dance teaching.
1. Aesthetic Education and Dance Art
People understand the concept of aesthetic education in a narrow sense and in a broad sense. Education in the broad sense is usually called "aesthetic education"; aesthetic education in the narrow sense is also called "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, ethics education and various disciplines, and use many realistic images of beauty in social life and nature to educate people aesthetically. Enable people to establish correct aesthetic concepts and moral concepts.
Aesthetic education is to cultivate the young generation’s feelings about beauty in nature, social life, daily life, literary works and artistic works, cultivate their interest in beauty, aesthetic perspectives and aesthetic abilities, and develop the ability to create beauty.
Aesthetic education has its unique function in the comprehensive development education that constitutes human personality. The promotion of aesthetic education is an inevitable requirement of history and a symbol of social civilization and progress. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ministry of Education of our country proposed an education policy that simultaneously emphasized moral education, intellectual education, physical education, and aesthetic education, and attached greater importance to aesthetic education. For example, the aesthetic education requirements for kindergartens are: "cultivate children's concepts and interests in beauty, and enhance their imagination and creativity." The aesthetic education requirements for primary schools are: "enable children to have the concept of beauty and the preliminary ability to appreciate art." This requirement is reasonable, and it guides art education in primary schools and kindergartens in our country to gradually get on the right track.
After ten years of catastrophe, aesthetics has been relegated to the sidelines and aesthetic education has been cancelled. Anyone who promotes aesthetic education will be labeled as "promoting the capitalist class lifestyle". The harm it has caused to education is obvious to all.
In recent years, aesthetics has gradually aroused people's interest, leading to today's "aesthetic craze". This is not accidental, it shows that people need and yearn for beauty. Beauty is science, and scientific things cannot be banned. This situation requires all types of schools at all levels to further improve aesthetic education to adapt to and promote the construction of socialist spiritual civilization. Unfortunately, aesthetic education has not attracted enough attention from the whole society and some education departments so far. They have not yet deeply understood that in school education, the use of images of artistic beauty, social beauty and natural beauty to educate young people will play a subtle and subtle role in shaping people's spiritual beauty, language beauty, behavioral beauty and physical beauty, which is the key to cultivating Education is an important component that cannot be ignored for the all-round development of people. For this reason, some schools have not yet opened dance classes. I think that each of our educators and art educators should, on the one hand, call for publicity, and on the other hand, through their own art education practices, we should improve the status of aesthetic education and change this unsatisfactory status quo of aesthetic education.
So, what are the aesthetic benefits of dance art? This must first start with the characteristics of dance art.
Dance is an art that expresses ideas and content through certain movements, gestures, postures and shapes of the human body. Dance is an image of man-made beauty, an expression of unnatural and special beauty. The dancer enables people to gain artistic beauty or emotional satisfaction from his dexterous body.
Dance art is completed in a certain space and time. It is a plastic art of space and time that disappears in the flow.
Dance is better than expression. The emotions in dance are more concentrated and intense than those in reality. It is a kind of awareness, reflection and refinement of people's real emotions. Through it, people's feelings and beautiful sentiments can be cultivated.
The function of dance beauty is to create vivid, vivid and meaningful artistic images in accordance with the laws of beauty and aesthetic ideals, so as to shape the human soul and satisfy people's aesthetic needs. Like other sister arts, it has the functions of understanding, publicity, education and entertainment, and its aesthetic benefits are also here.
It can be seen from the above discussion that dance teaching is an important way to achieve aesthetic education, and it is also the most feasible and effective form.
2. Dance art in vocational education and aesthetic education
As the wave of reform rolls in, beauty surrounds us and becomes the main theme and theme of life in our era. As students in colleges and universities, they should have higher aesthetic ability and aesthetic taste in order to assume the social responsibility of educating others and achieve their own perfection. As students majoring in art, aesthetic education is mainly reflected through the teaching and activities of art subjects including dance. Schiller, a famous modern French esthetician, believes that the way to achieve spiritual liberation and the formation of perfect personality, that is, to cultivate talents who can effectively promote the development of human society, is aesthetic education. Cai Yuanpei, a famous educator who clearly advocated aesthetic education in modern China, believes that aesthetic education has an extremely important relationship with people's success.
As for each of us, of course everyone wants to achieve their own perfection, in other words, to achieve perfection in both aspects of mind (content) and body (form). Spiritual beauty is intrinsic and refers to a person's thoughts, spirit, sentiment, moral character and demeanor. Physical beauty is external, which refers to a person's body shape, appearance, behavior, etc. Dance is an art form that harmonizes and unifies a person's inner and outer beauty. American dancer Isadora Duncan said: "Dance should be a medium for the body to express the soul" and "a reflection of the soul." Therefore, students can cultivate themselves by experiencing beautiful, noble, healthy, gentle, strong, delicate and rough emotions through appreciating dance, learning and performing dance; they can cultivate themselves in the artistic images of truth and falsehood, good and evil, beauty and ugliness. Improve the level of aesthetic awareness; you can long for and pursue the ideal society and ideal things through the artistic image of dance, so as to establish your own personal ideals and social ideals; you can express your spiritual imagination and personal will through dance activities, and enjoy the beauty of dance and life The taste of beauty to promote the formation of one's own perfection, etc. Contemporary youth are paying more and more attention to their own physical beauty, and dance education plays an important role in improving young students' physical beauty and demeanor.
People have seen dancers whose well-proportioned and graceful figures are enviable. Among today's young students, there are also many people who have unattractive natural figures, such as those who shrink their necks, stretch their necks, shrug their shoulders, slump their waists, bow their backs, stick out their buttocks, and walk internally and externally. Except for a few congenital malformations, most of them are caused by not paying attention to physical exercise and being accustomed to certain incorrect postures. Dancing is an activity that pays attention to physical beauty. People stand upright, with their abdomen drawn in and their chest raised, their shoulders stretched and their necks stretched, and their eyes leveled. This kind of training has a certain inner, upward feeling of uprightness. Only with this posture and dancing to the melody of the music can the form and movements appear elegant and graceful. It can be imagined that because the dance postures in dance require graceful coordination, people will develop good habits over time. As a result, our students will walk lightly, stretch their limbs, and have a tall and straight body. A generous gesture. As the famous British scholar Bacon said: "The beauty of appearance is higher than the beauty of color, and the beauty of elegant and appropriate movements is higher than the beauty of appearance. This is the essence of beauty." This is the function of dance aesthetic education to spread beauty throughout the students' entire bodies and fill their hearts with beauty.
Dance training plays a more obvious role in shaping students' demeanor. Practice has proved that dance can cultivate students' quietness, harmony, tolerance, generosity, enthusiasm, optimism, boldness, neatness, dignity, etc. Good manners play a subtle role. In terms of shaping students' external image, dance education should play a role in regulating their behavioral habits, cultivating their lively, light and stable personality psychological expression form, and adjusting their daily life tendencies to super-social and non-scientific issues (this mainly refers to appearance, Issues such as grooming, clothing, hairstyle, etc.).
The role of dance education in shaping students’ internal image cannot be underestimated. The role of teachers' labor in children and adolescents is not a simple "external sculpture" activity, but a profound "internalization" process. Through dance education, students should be cultivated to be selfless and fearless, have the courage to overcome difficulties, be aboveboard, consistent in appearance and inside, and be tolerant and cautious.
What’s more prominent is that dance education can cultivate students’ beauty of expression and performance. The performance is beautiful and vivid, full of rhythm, full of melody, image and full emotion, which is pleasing to the ears and refreshing. In the human heart, when hearing its voice, it feels like seeing the person or being in the same place. Teachers' dynamics in teaching are normal, and students can develop beautiful dynamic habits through dance training. For example, the waving of the hands, the movement of the feet, and the pitching of the body can maintain a certain arc, and the curves are the beauty. The arc is small and fast, showing strength and strength; the arc is large and slow, showing softness and relaxation. Big or small, strong or weak, different due to emotion, the beauty lies in it.
The above is about the perfect function of dance education on students themselves. It is good to be alone, but it is not enough, because they must not only become enlighteners of knowledge and science, but also communicators of beauty and engineers of the human soul. If they want to cultivate the talents needed in the new era, they must first solve the problem of their own beautiful overall image. The respected and admired role of teachers as an example and role model is not only reflected in the perfection of his own image, but also affects the next generation with his perfect image.
To sum up, dance is a pure form of art that integrates time and space. It creates a vivid, vivid and meaningful artistic image in accordance with the laws of beauty and aesthetic ideals, allowing people to form a unity of inner beauty and outer beauty. Meet people's aesthetic needs.
Dance teaching plays an important role in aesthetic education. Art education with the help of dance teaching is the main form and important way of aesthetic education
