How to Attach Importance to Art Education —— On the Innovative Value of Aesthetic Education
The economic value of this influence in the field of education is remarkable, and scientific and technological education and intellectual development have received unprecedented attention. Because people lack a comprehensive understanding of the function of aesthetic education, especially its economic function. This is a very important reason. Therefore, it is natural to ignore aesthetic education. Key words: attaching importance to scientific beauty, aesthetic value, social value and economic benefit. Content: Aesthetic standard means that the subject of scientific activities must understand scientific beauty and general beauty, master the law of beauty, and have good aesthetic appreciation ability and elegant aesthetic taste. This is the essential accomplishment of an excellent subject of scientific activities. This determines that only attaching importance to science education is not enough. In order to give full play to the role of aesthetics in scientific creation and promote the development of science, we must attach importance to aesthetic education, especially scientific beauty education, while carrying out scientific education. As we all know, modern schools pay more attention to intellectual education and moral education. In fact, the degree to which aesthetic education is neglected is well known. There are many reasons why people don't attach importance to aesthetic education. In my opinion, it is a very important reason that the function of aesthetic education is not fully understood, especially the creative value of aesthetic education is not deeply understood. In modern society, economic utility has a wide impact on social life. The economic value of this influence in the field of education is remarkable, and scientific and technological education and intellectual development have received unprecedented attention. However, art education and its utility have been repeatedly ignored by people. Here I make a preliminary analysis of the economic function of aesthetic education from the following three aspects, in order to arouse people's real attention to aesthetic education to some extent. First, aesthetic education embodies the positive role of aesthetic education in society, not only in the labor ability of workers as a part of productive forces, but also in science and technology. (1) Aesthetic Education and Physical Education Mao Zedong once said: To achieve the effect of physical education, we must stimulate its subjectivity and promote its sports consciousness. The effective function of aesthetic education is to stimulate its subjectivity and enhance its consciousness. The combination of aesthetic education and sports, or infiltration into sports, can make students realize the significance of physical beauty and spiritual beauty, and at the same time, it can also make students experience the artistic beauty of sports itself, so as to actively engage in physical exercise, strive to improve sports skills, and consciously or unconsciously enhance physical quality and physical strength. Aesthetic education is not only an effective means to improve people's physical strength, but also a necessary prerequisite for people's physical strength to be effectively exerted. The so-called effective play means that people's physical strength is not consumed unnecessarily in the process of productive labor. A person with good physical strength may not be able to effectively play the activities he is engaged in. An important condition to determine whether a person's physical strength can be effectively exerted is to see whether his posture, movements and skills meet the standards of beauty. Aesthetic education is a necessary prerequisite to make people's posture, movements and skills reach the realm of beauty. Aesthetic education is different from sports. The main function of sports is to make people healthy, even if their organs, nervous system, height and weight are well developed, they also have the vitality to adapt to the external environment. The main function of aesthetic education is to make people's bodies beautiful in appearance. Even if people's bodies have beautiful manners in action, shape and posture, they will get a certain sense of coordination, rhythm and freedom in strength and rhythm. Therefore, physical education can give people good physique and abundant physical strength, while aesthetic education can make people's physical strength economical and effective when applied to productive labor, thus giving full play to its role. (2) The influence of aesthetic education on intelligence and personality. Human intelligence is another important factor that constitutes human labor ability. The direct effect of aesthetic education on the development of various intellectual factors, including observation, memory, thinking and imagination, has been discussed in depth in existing works. What needs to be added here is that the indirect effect of aesthetic education on intellectual development can not be ignored. Modern pedagogy and psychology believe that intelligence exists in the totality of personality. This is a very correct conclusion. Because man is an organic whole, the full development of man's ability in any aspect can only be coordinated with other aspects. The most basic function of aesthetic education is to mold perfect personality. In the process of shaping perfect personality, moral education, intellectual education, physical education and aesthetic education are undoubtedly indispensable, but aesthetic education has other unique functions that it does not have. Because aesthetic education is an education that cultivates people's organic and holistic reflection, it has the characteristics of integrity and harmony, which provides favorable conditions for constructing a perfect psychological structure. Aesthetic education affects individual senses and psychology, enhances aesthetic sensibility and creativity, and forms a balanced and harmonious psychological structure by using the beautiful products created by human long-term practical activities and the laws of beauty revealed, thus indirectly affecting the development of human intelligence. To this end, Reid said: individual consciousness, especially intelligence and judgment, is based on aesthetic education and various emotional education. To be sure, without aesthetic education, it is impossible to shape a perfect personality, so it is difficult to fully develop people's intelligence. Man's ability to work is an instrumental thing, which can be used for both good and evil purposes. Under certain conditions, people's labor ability is a relatively certain quantity. People with the same working ability may exert their working ability differently. Whether people's labor ability is used for good or evil, and how it is played in the process of productive labor depends largely on the level of people's moral quality. As the most basic means to construct a perfect personality, aesthetic education can cultivate people's moral sentiment, cultivate people's beautiful mind and promote people's moral quality to be comprehensively and fully improved. Therefore, aesthetic education is also helpful to give full play to people's labor ability and apply it to the labor that benefits mankind to a certain extent. (3) Aesthetic education and scientific aesthetics enable students to master the laws of beauty by cultivating their aesthetic sensibility, thus promoting the development of science and the renewal of technology. The purpose of scientific activities is to reveal the picture of the real world. The beauty of nature, including symmetry, harmony, strangeness and magnificence, is bound to be reflected in the scientific system, so that the abstract spiritual products of scientific theory itself present symmetry, harmony, coordination and strangeness and become beautiful things with aesthetic value. The inherent consistency between beauty and truth determines that aesthetic standards can be used as an important measure of scientific creation activities. First of all, in the process of exploring truth, the choice made by the subject of scientific activities in terms of aesthetic feeling or beauty can bear the fruit of truth. According to the survey, the famous theoretical physicist Weil once declared bluntly: Our work always tries to unify truth and beauty, but when I have to choose between them, I always choose beauty. Weil claimed this because he had a profound experience. When he finished the theory of gravity gauge, it seemed untrue in terms of the scientific background at that time. However, due to the formal beauty of the theory, it was difficult for Weil to give it up, and finally he kept it. Many years later, the gauge invariant form was introduced into quantum mechanics, which proved that Weil's aesthetic intuition was completely correct. Secondly, in the process of scientific exploration, the subject of scientific activities can examine and perfect scientific achievements from the perspective of whether science is beautiful or not, and aim at the unity of truth and beauty of scientific achievements, and constantly improve and beautify scientific achievements. Dirac, a physicist who pursues scientific beauty all his life, believes that if the physical equation is not beautiful in mathematics, it marks some kind of deficiency, which means that the theory is flawed and needs to be improved. One of the prerequisites for aesthetic standards to play the above role in scientific creation activities is that the subject of scientific activities must understand scientific beauty and general beauty, master the laws of beauty, and have good aesthetic appreciation ability and elegant aesthetic taste. This is the essential accomplishment of an excellent subject of scientific activities. This determines that only attaching importance to science education is not enough. In order to give full play to the role of aesthetics in scientific creation and promote the development of science, we must attach importance to aesthetic education, especially scientific beauty education, while carrying out scientific education. More than a decade ago, some scholars answered whether our education could make an Einstein. In the negative answer, one of the reasons is that our education only gives students some scientific knowledge, but does not make students have Einstein's aesthetic literacy. This reason is in line with the facts. At present, the concept that science and technology are the primary productive forces has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and we must also have a deep understanding of aesthetic education as an effective means of scientific and technological development. Second, the social creation of aesthetic education (1) Aesthetic education enables future workers to create and appreciate the beauty of the production environment by cultivating their ability to appreciate and create beauty, thus improving labor efficiency. People's productive labor is carried out in a certain spatial environment. Modern aestheticians pay more and more attention to the aesthetic organization of working environment and pursue the unity of practical value and aesthetic value of working environment. This pursuit, on the one hand, is to change the situation that dehumanized workers become machine accessories in modern industrial society, on the other hand, it is based on the consideration of improving labor productivity. The beauty of working environment has a wide range of contents, mainly including: work clothes that are coordinated with gender, type of work and environment; Clean and beautiful environment; Beautiful, relaxed and elegant music; Color and light suitable for the type of work and environment; Rational allocation of mechanical equipment, labor tools, etc. Arranging the workers' perceptual world according to the standards of beauty, so that they can work in a comfortable and convenient, beautiful environment, safe and clean, harmonious colors, lively and relaxed space environment can not only strengthen the humanization of labor production, but also make people know and understand what a real person is. It can make him realize that he is a person rather than a tool, and it can also eliminate the fatigue of workers and arouse the enthusiasm of work to make people feel that work is enjoyable. So as to improve labor productivity. According to relevant data, the factory workshop doors and windows are properly arranged, bright and beautiful, which can improve labor productivity by 515%; Lighting equipment is beautiful and moderate, which can improve labor productivity1030%; Painting the environment inside and outside the workshop and the machine tools with proper colors can improve the labor productivity by 265,438+00%; Minimizing noise or playing carefully selected music during delivery can improve labor efficiency by 6 14%. These data can undoubtedly explain the important role of beautiful working environment in improving labor productivity to some extent. (2) Aesthetic education contributes to the formation of good interpersonal relationships, thus contributing to the improvement of labor productivity. People's productive labor is not only carried out in a specific natural environment, but also in a specific social environment. As a link of productive labor, the beauty and ugliness of interpersonal relationship directly determines the level of labor productivity. Aesthetic education, especially the education of social beauty, is helpful to improve people's aesthetic cultivation, make people studious and good at communication, and communicate according to the laws of beauty, thus forming the collective spirit of mutual respect for humanity, mutual comity, friendship and mutual assistance, the spirit of unity and cooperation, and the interpersonal relationship of good and upright moral sentiments among workers. In such a beautiful interpersonal environment, people communicate with each other, get close to each other, feel comfortable and relaxed, and their labor enthusiasm and productivity will be greatly improved. (3) Aesthetic education can bring high efficiency of labor production by improving the aesthetic cultivation of production managers. With the increasing trend of social aestheticization and aesthetic socialization, aesthetic management has gradually become the most effective, civilized and advanced management method system in modern social production. Aesthetic management emphasizes human value and dignity, emotion, pleasure and cultural management, personality equality and democratic participation, and strives to form a good interpersonal relationship with good emotional input. These have incomparable effects on enhancing the attraction and cohesion of production units, developing people's psychological and physiological potential, mobilizing people's enthusiasm and creativity, and maintaining workers' high labor enthusiasm. This determines that modern production managers must master the law of beauty and have good aesthetic quality. If modern production management personnel are not well educated in aesthetics, it will be difficult to be competent for modern production management, so it will be difficult to bring efficient production and labor. Third, the economic benefits of aesthetic education Modern western developed countries pay more and more attention to aesthetic education, especially scientific beauty education. Aesthetic education, especially the education of technical beauty, plays a positive role in improving the aesthetic quality of products and the economic benefits of social production to a great extent. The unity of utilitarian knowledge and aesthetic knowledge is an important principle of Marxist aesthetics. The practicality and aesthetics of labor products are closely linked, and ignoring the aesthetics of products will inevitably damage its practicality. This is becoming more and more obvious in modern society. Because with the improvement of social civilization, people have higher and higher requirements for the aesthetics of products. In the case of a large number of products flooding into the market, improving the aesthetic quality of products, making the appearance of products, including modeling, color, surface texture, decoration, etc., give people a comprehensive aesthetic performance and become a comprehensive index of high consumption quality of products. As a condition and means to ensure the high consumption quality of products, the aesthetic value of products can directly affect the economic benefits of social interest organizations, including specific production units. Because in the case of the same product efficacy and quality, whoever has a high aesthetic quality will become the darling of the new market. For example, in 1909, Ford Motor Company of the United States designed and put into production a T-shaped streamlined car, which was inexpensive and quickly monopolized the American automobile market. By 19 19, the total number of American cars was 550,000, including 250,000 T-cars, which brought great economic benefits to Ford. In the 1970s and 1980s, Japanese cars were welcomed by consumers all over the world for their novel and beautiful appearance, fine texture and high smoothness, thus replacing the United States, which is known as the automobile kingdom, and its sales volume ranked first in the world. On the contrary, there are many cases in which enterprises fail because the product design cannot meet the aesthetic needs of consumers. From this point of view, social interest organizations, including specific production units, must pay attention to improving the aesthetic quality of product appearance and make products reach aesthetic level. In this case, then, the next requirement must be a comprehensive, systematic and formal aesthetic education for producers as the first factor of social production, so that they have the necessary aesthetic literacy. This paper discusses the important role of aesthetic education in economic activities and economic development from three aspects. Finally, it is worth mentioning that aesthetic education is an important guarantee for the full and healthy development of the market economy. The reason for this conclusion is that aesthetic education, especially scientific beauty education, helps to form a good interpersonal relationship of cooperation and mutual assistance, thus adapting to the finer division of labor in commodity production and promoting the development of commodity production in the market economy through cooperation and mutual assistance.
