The following is the role of dance in aesthetic education.
Aesthetic education is an important aspect of people's self-construction, which integrates a person's sociality and physiology in psychology and enables a person to reach the highest level of life. Dance is an art form that expresses people's thoughts and feelings and reflects social life with human movements that have been organized, beautified and artistically processed as the main means of expression. How to embody the characteristics of aesthetic education in our dance teaching? The relationship between aesthetic education and dance teaching is as follows.
First, aesthetic education and dance art
People have a narrow and broad understanding of the concept of aesthetic education. Education in a broad sense, the so-called "aesthetic education"; Aesthetic education in a narrow sense is also called "art education". People who hold a broad education view believe that aesthetic education should not only focus on art education, but also penetrate into psychological education, ethical education and various disciplines, and carry out aesthetic education on people with the help of many realistic beautiful images in social life and nature, so that people can establish correct aesthetic concepts and moral concepts.
Aesthetic education lies in cultivating the young generation's feelings about the beauty of nature, social life, daily life, literary works and artistic works, cultivating their interest in beauty, aesthetic views and aesthetic ability, and developing their ability to create beauty.
Aesthetic education has its unique function in the education of all-round development of human personality. Advocating aesthetic education is an inevitable requirement of history and a symbol of social civilization and progress. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ministry of Education put forward the educational policy of moral education, intellectual education, physical education and aesthetic education, and paid more attention to aesthetic education. For example, the requirement of aesthetic education in kindergarten is: "to cultivate children's concept and interest in beauty and enhance their imagination and creativity." The requirement of aesthetic education in primary schools is to "make children have the concept of loving beauty and the initial ability to appreciate art". This requirement is reasonable, which guides the art education in primary schools and kindergartens in China to be on the right track.
After ten years of catastrophe, aesthetics was put in limbo and aesthetic education was cancelled. Whoever wants to advocate aesthetic education will be labeled as "promoting the capitalist lifestyle". Its harm to education is obvious to all.
In recent years, aesthetics has gradually aroused people's interest, and even formed today's "aesthetic fever". This is not accidental, which shows that people need beauty and yearn for it. Beauty is science, and scientific things cannot be banned. This situation requires schools at all levels to further improve aesthetic education in order to adapt to and promote the construction of socialist two spiritual civilizations. Regrettably, aesthetic education has not attracted enough attention from the whole society and some education departments. They haven't deeply realized that in school education, educating teenagers with images of artistic beauty, social beauty and natural beauty will play a subtle role in shaping people's spiritual beauty, verbal beauty, behavioral beauty and physical beauty, which is an important part of cultivating people's all-round development education. To this end, some schools do not offer dance classes. I think every educator and art educator should call for publicity, and at the same time improve the status of aesthetic education through their own art education practice and change this unsatisfactory status quo of aesthetic education.
So, where is the aesthetic benefit of dance art? This must start with the characteristics of dance art.
Dance is the art of expressing thoughts and contents through specific movements, gestures, dances and body shapes. Dance is an artificial image of beauty, an unnatural and special form of beauty. A dancer makes people get artistic beauty or emotional satisfaction from his dexterous body.
Dance art is completed in a certain time and space, and it is a plastic art that disappears in the flowing time and space.
Dance is good at expression, and the feelings in dance are more concentrated and stronger than those in reality. It is a kind of consciousness, reflection and refinement of people's feelings in reality. Through it, we can cultivate people's feelings and good sentiments.
The function of dance beauty lies in shaping vivid and meaningful artistic images according to the laws of beauty and aesthetic ideals, thus shaping people's souls and satisfying people's aesthetic needs. Like other sister arts, it has the functions of cognition, propaganda, education and entertainment, and its aesthetic benefit lies in this.
As can be seen from the above discussion, dance teaching is an important way to realize aesthetic education, and it is also the most feasible and effective form.
Second, the aesthetic education of dance art in vocational education
With the tide of reform rolling in, beauty is surrounding us and becoming the main theme of our life in this era. As college students, they should have higher aesthetic ability and taste in order to assume the social responsibility of educating others and realize their own perfection. As students majoring in art, aesthetic education is mainly embodied through the teaching and activities of art disciplines including dance. Schiller, a famous French aesthete in modern times, believes that the way to realize spiritual liberation and perfect personality formation is to cultivate talents who can effectively promote the development of human society. Cai Yuanpei, a famous educator who advocated aesthetic education clearly in modern China, believes that aesthetic education has an extremely important relationship with people's success.
As far as each of us is concerned, of course, everyone wants to be perfect, in other words, to be perfect in both mind (content) and body (form). The beauty of the soul is intrinsic, which refers to people's thoughts, spirits, sentiments, morals and manners. Physical beauty is external, that is, people's body shape, appearance, manners and so on. Dance is an art form that harmonizes the inner beauty and the outer beauty of human beings. American dancer isadora duncan said, "Dance should be the medium for the body to express the mind" and "it is the reflection of the mind". Therefore, students can experience beautiful, noble, healthy, gentle, vigorous, delicate and rough feelings by enjoying dance, learning dance and performing dance, so as to cultivate self-cultivation; Aesthetic comprehension's level can be improved in the artistic images of truth and falsehood, good and evil, beauty and ugliness; You can look forward to and pursue the ideal society and ideal things through the artistic image of dance, so as to establish your own personal and social ideals; You can express your imagination and personal will through dance activities, enjoy the beauty of dance and life, and promote your perfect formation. Contemporary young people pay more and more attention to their own physical beauty, and dance education plays an important role in the physical beauty and demeanor of young students.
People have seen dancers. They are well-proportioned and graceful and enviable. Nowadays, many young students are not beautiful in their natural forms, such as necking, stretching, shrugging, hunching, hunching, pouting and stepping inside and outside. Except for a few congenital malformations, most of them are caused by not paying attention to physical exercise and getting used to some incorrect postures. Dance is an activity that pays attention to physical beauty. Stand up straight, tuck in, hold out your chest, press your shoulders and neck, and keep your eyes straight. This kind of training has a certain inner sense of directness. Only in this way, dancing with the rhythm of music, its form and action can appear elegant and generous. It is conceivable that people will form good habits over time because the dance movements in the dance need beautiful coordination. In this way, our students will walk lightly, stretch their limbs and stand tall and straight. A generous gesture. As Bacon, a famous British scholar, said, "The beauty of appearance is higher than the beauty of color, and the beauty of beautiful and elegant proper movements is higher than the beauty of appearance, which is the essence of beauty." The function of dance aesthetic education is to spread beauty all over students and fill their hearts with aesthetic feeling.
Dance training plays a more obvious role in shaping students' manners. Practice has proved that dance plays a subtle role in cultivating students' good manners such as quietness, harmony, tolerance, generosity, enthusiasm, optimism, generosity, neatness and dignity. In shaping students' external image, dance education should standardize their behavior habits, cultivate their lively, brisk and stable forms of personality psychological exposure, and adjust their super-social and unscientific problems in daily life trends (mainly referring to appearance, dressing, clothing, hairstyle and other issues here).
The role of dance education in shaping students' inner image cannot be underestimated. The role of teachers' labor on children is not a simple "external carving" activity, but a profound "internal" process. Through dance education, we should cultivate students' psychological qualities of selflessness and fearlessness, courage to overcome difficulties, openness and integrity, and tolerance towards others.
What is more prominent is that dance education can cultivate students' beauty of expression and performance, while expression and performance are beautiful and vivid, full of rhythm, melody, image and emotion, which can please people's eyes and ears, cool people's hearts and make people feel immersive. Teachers' dynamics in teaching are normal, and students can develop beautiful dynamic habits through dance training. Such as the waving of hands, the movement of feet and the pitching of the body, can maintain a certain radian and take curves as beauty. The radian is small and fast, showing vigor and strength; The radian is large and slow, showing softness and relaxation. The strength of size depends on feeling, and beauty is among them.
The above is about the perfect function of dance education to students themselves. Immunity is good, but it is not enough, because they should not only become the enlighteners of knowledge and science, but also become the disseminators of beauty and engineers of human souls. In order to cultivate talents needed by the new era, we must first solve the problem of our beautiful overall image. Teachers' exemplary role is not only reflected in the perfection of their own image, but also affects the next generation with their perfect image.
To sum up, dance is a pure formal art that combines time and space. It creates a vivid and meaningful artistic image that conforms to the law of beauty and aesthetic ideal, so that people can form the unity of inner beauty and outer beauty and meet people's aesthetic needs. Dance teaching plays an important role in aesthetic education, and art education with the help of dance teaching is the main form and important way of aesthetic education.
