Innovation is the soul of a nation's progress and an inexhaustible motive force for a country's prosperity. The new curriculum standard clearly requires that art teaching should pay special attention to stimulating students' innovative spirit and cultivating students' practical ability. Art teaching is not only an artistic creation activity, but also an artistic practice activity, which greatly promotes the cultivation of students' innovative spirit and practical ability. According to the characteristics of art education, it is proposed to stimulate students' innovative spirit and cultivate their practical ability. This stems from artistic ontology; But it goes beyond the value function of art itself and puts forward two-way requirements for art teachers. First of all, teachers should have innovative spirit and be able to boldly participate in reform practice; At the same time, it is necessary to stimulate students' innovative spirit, let them creatively use artistic language to question and explore, and cultivate and improve students' aesthetic creativity through various practical activities. Art teaching is a special cultural education of image-building and aesthetic appreciation, which not only affects the improvement of students' artistic quality, but also affects the perfection of students' personality. To stimulate students' innovative spirit, we must first establish the main position of students' practice, stimulate students' interest in learning through various means, and make them have a proactive learning mentality and persistent exploration spirit. This requires the active participation of the main body, stimulating innovation and cultivating practical ability.
We should pay attention to the development of students' creative potential and really give them room to explore knowledge and problems. We should not only let students think actively, learn independently, find and solve problems, but also let them boldly imagine, dare to be unconventional and innovative. Imagination is the creative ability of people to construct new images on the basis of past perception. Irons said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes the progress of knowledge and is the source of knowledge." With the participation of creative imagination, we can form a creative new image with the help of past experience, put forward new assumptions and carry out new imagination at a new level.
Students' inspiration and intuition should be exerted. Intuition is a kind of psychological activity related to perceptual thinking, which directly observes things. It includes inspiration, enlightenment and epiphany, and it is the forerunner of innovation. And inspiration doesn't last long, and it is often fleeting. Teachers should keenly observe and understand the changes of students' psychological activities after they are exposed to artistic works, from active thinking to divergent thinking, and then to innovative thinking, so that students can transfer their knowledge and carry out artistic creation activities.
To stimulate students' innovation, we should also create an immersive scene with the help of teaching content with aesthetic value, so that students can be subtly infected by the charm of artistic works, generate creative desire and express their emotions. The innovation of art education pursues the atmosphere of freedom, harmony and two-way communication. Different students have different aesthetic experiences due to their own differences, which contain many innovative factors.
The new curriculum is a quality education centered on cultivating students' innovative spirit, which is not only reflected in the forgetfulness of educational ideas, but also permeates all teaching activities in various disciplines. This requires us to deal with the dialectical relationship between stimulating students' innovative spirit, guiding students to create art and letting students use art language creatively in art teaching. One of the achievements of students' innovative spirit is to carry out artistic creation activities, which must rely on artistic language.
The so-called artistic language refers to the basic elements of plastic arts, such as point, line, shape, color, structure, light and shade, space and material. Second, it refers to the basic principles of combining modeling elements into a complete work, including diversity, unity, proportion, symmetry, balance, rhythm, contrast and harmony.
The interest of art teaching process, the freedom of performance activities and the diversity of evaluation criteria provide the most suitable environment for creative activities. To maximize the development of students' creative potential, we should attach importance to the cultivation of practical ability, so that students can have the ability to transform innovative ideas into concrete results.
In a word, art teaching should pay attention to emotion, emphasize sensitivity with emotion, and make students want to innovate through the emotional basic characteristics of art discipline; Students should be encouraged to face artistic works, be good at expressing their own aesthetic experience, pay attention to connotation, highlight expressiveness, and let students dare to innovate; By adopting exploratory, autonomous and divergent learning methods, creativity can be highlighted in practice and students can be innovative.
