Joseph cornell, a nature educator and artist, said,

"When I was a child, I had the opportunity to get in touch with nature.

People who feel the magic and beauty of nature,

When he grows up, he will always be in his heart.

Leave a strong vitality like nature. "

The reform of art education in the new era is to build children's "problem-solving ability". In this regard, many people will ask: isn't art the pursuit of self-expression? Is it necessary to take on so many responsibilities? In the face of contemporary problems and challenges, I'm afraid so. Art education is likely to be an outstanding education.

Dr Ernst Wagner takes the work Indra's Cloud by artist Anne Percoco as an example. The creative motivation of this work comes from the problems caused by disposable bottled water when Percoco went to India to study yoga. People don't trust water, so they drink bottled water, but a large number of bottles extend another environmental problem.

? Percoco invited local residents to help collect more than 1000 discarded bottles and use them to make a boat. The work is called Indra, the god of thunderstorm in Indian mythology, and the way of exhibition is to let the bottle boat sail on the heavily polluted Yamuna River.

This case shows that art education is about to become a prominent school:

1. Artistic creation is a process of exploring problems.

2. Artistic creation can visualize abstract problems.

3. The dialogue of art is the starting point of driving change.

? Art is a positive force, but the power of art education has been underestimated for a long time. People should not be bound by rigid educational ideas, or even imagine the future with the past. Facing the contemporary challenges, art education is more important, more advantageous and more responsible than other disciplines.

? Creativity is the future of China's development.

? Children are not only the future of a family, but also the future of society. For families and society, the most worthwhile investment is children's education. As a brand of children's innovative art education leading the art education industry in China, tomato field art dares to shoulder the responsibility entrusted by education, and is willing to stand with parents to support and help children's imagination development.

We will teach our children to observe and explore the beauty of nature like archaeologists and naturalists by leading them to do graphic creation, three-dimensional art, field trips, dancing and listening to nature.

Recently, the latest 20 14 art curriculum standard issued by the United States has aroused widespread concern in China's art education circles.

? "New Curriculum Standards" emphasizes that under the guidance of art courses, children should be able to develop the following four abilities:

? In the aspect of "creation", children should be able to think about new artistic ideas and complete and refine their own artistic ideas step by step;

? In the aspect of "presentation", children should be able to interpret, analyze and share artists' works and learn the methods conveyed by artists;

? In terms of "response", children should learn how to evaluate their own works and use them to understand and echo the world;

? And "connection", that is, children's personal ideas and works of art, must be connected with the external environment, society, culture and the overall experience of mankind.

? Exploring the latest American art curriculum standard of 20 14, we can see that there are similarities and differences between it and the creative thinking system put forward by Tomato Field Art, which once again shows its strength of parallel development with the most advanced international art education thought.

? The latest curriculum standards in the United States attach importance to making artistic thinking a lifelong ability for children, so that children can know themselves step by step, know the world and express their thoughts.

? "The Art of Tomato Field" constantly emphasizes that starting from children's characteristics, let children find themselves in the artistic atmosphere, empower children through creative thinking system, let children "from concept to practice, from mastery to scheduling, from self to transcendence", master the ability of "facing the unknown and surpassing it", let children know themselves step by step, learn the ability of self-scheduling, get through the observation and link to the world, and further express their ideas and respond to it.
