Papers on Digital Art Education in the Digital Age
Abstract: The widespread use of computers marks the arrival of the digital age. With the progress of science and technology, computer technology and art design are closely combined, and we have entered the era of digital art. In the highly competitive digital age, what kind of teaching system can enable contemporary art design students to master digital art technology to meet the needs of society is an important topic worthy of our study.

Keywords: computer digital art design teaching system

First, the development trend of digital art

Traditional art has a long history and records the civilization and progress of human beings. Nowadays, the digital information age has brought new opportunities and challenges to traditional art. The perfect combination of digital technology and art is impacting people's daily life with a jaw-dropping frenzy, and digital art came into being, from which a very popular word "CG" was derived. However, digital art design is different from pure art, it develops with the development of social economy and science and technology, and it is the intersection and integration of science and technology and aesthetic art. Based on computer technology, digital art has the basic characteristics of interactivity and the use of online media, involving computer animation, film and television advertisements, online games, virtual reality, online art, multimedia, digital photography, digital music, video recording and interactive equipment, and DV (digital video) and other fields. As a combination of human creativity and technology, digital art industry has gradually become the core industry of knowledge economy in 2 1 century.

Second, the discussion of digital art teaching system

In 2004, the consumption of animation products in China alone reached 80 billion yuan. IT is predicted that in the next three to five years, digital art industry will also become one of the pillar industries of IT industry and entertainment industry in China. However, the rapid development of digital art industry is accompanied by an embarrassing talent bottleneck. Nowadays, digital art talents who are proficient in art and computer digital production technology are increasingly becoming sought-after and high-paying families. Our digital art education system should also develop around two important directions: artistry and computer ability.

1. Curriculum principles

The curriculum should follow the principles of scientificity, characteristics and flexibility. The scientific principle is embodied in that the curriculum system should meet the needs of the development of disciplines and talents. Characteristics require market research on professional settings, and you can't blindly follow suit. Flexibility requires maintaining the diversity of courses and strengthening the proportion of practical teaching.

The center of digital art design is still art design, and the so-called "digitalization" refers to the use of computer technology for aided design. Art design is rational thinking, the computer is advanced and practical, and it is also a tool of art design, just like brushes and dyes used at ordinary times. Therefore, it is an extension of traditional aesthetics to cultivate students' artistry in the course with six points of "art" and four points of "number"; It is necessary to strengthen the basic theory education and the training of basic skills such as hand drawing, and to carry out "digital" intensive education for students is to meet the needs of the development of the times.

2. Teaching method reform

First of all, it is necessary to clarify the basic principle of "art" as the center in teaching, and avoid the tendency of emphasizing "expression techniques" over "design ideas". In order to understand this problem clearly, design drawings are the graphic language of designers, expressing designers' intentions and ideas in the form of images. It has the characteristics of freedom and rapidity, and the renderings are just a means of expression, which cannot be separated from design thinking, which is the foundation and the renderings are the purpose. The two cannot be reversed.

Secondly, in art design teaching, we should pay attention to the application of design language in art in digital design, so that students can further understand and recognize the importance of professional basic theoretical knowledge, and at the same time understand the relationship between digital application and professional design. While teaching digital application technology, we should combine professional characteristics to inspire and guide students how to use computers to create design works that meet people's aesthetic requirements.

Thirdly, the teaching of computer software needs to master the rules, which can not only grasp the software framework as a whole, but also deepen the concepts clearly. The development speed of computer is obvious to all, and the update cycle of software is getting shorter and shorter, but our teaching speed can't keep up. Many concepts involved in digital art software, such as three-dimensional software or two-dimensional software, film and television animation, are the same or similar, and the external forms or processing methods of similar software are more and more similar. This requires defining the functions of various softwares and understanding their characteristics; Understand the concept of nouns in software, and draw inferences from others; Familiar with the software production process, simplify the complex; Make use of the random help provided by the software, consult it at any time, and in the process of learning, we should first make it easy and then difficult, and gradually advance it and refine it layer by layer.

Finally, the digital assistant teaching method is used to improve students' learning efficiency. Multimedia teaching method improves the interaction between teachers and students. Research shows that this way can improve students' learning efficiency by nearly five times compared with the traditional way of attending classes. The rapid development of the network has also improved a more modern educational method-distance education, which can effectively improve the utilization rate of teaching resources, strengthen the communication between teachers and students, and perfectly embody modern educational means.

3. Training of teachers.

Teachers are the most important link to achieve teaching objectives, and teachers' teaching attitudes and methods directly affect students' mastery of knowledge. In modern teaching, the role of teachers should be changed, not only to preach, teach and dispel doubts, but also to become students' collaborators. From the evaluation of students' professional design works to the evaluation of their production process and design ideas, we should pay attention to cultivating students' thinking mode. Teachers should not only fully prepare teaching content, but also organize students to explore, discuss and learn, provide reasonable suggestions for students' learning activities (for example, guide students to choose suitable extracurricular teaching materials), and stimulate students' learning desire in a relaxed learning environment.

At present, there is a disconnect between basic courses and computer design courses in some schools. This is because the basic course still continues the old teaching method, while the computer design course only pays attention to the use of software, so students can't apply software in the learning stage of professional courses. In order to improve this situation, it is necessary to reasonably insert basic courses and computer design courses in the curriculum arrangement, and to avoid the isolation of these teachers.

4. The role of schools

The school's attention is a powerful guarantee for the benign development of digital art. As a school or department, it should comprehensively supervise all links in the teaching system, check the curriculum, ensure the smooth implementation of teaching ideas, listen to the voices of teachers and students, and absorb reasonable suggestions. These play a vital role in the benign operation of digital art courses.

The appearance of digitalization not only has a great influence on traditional art education, but also impacts China's overall educational thought and teaching system. The information age requires schools to cultivate artistic talents who can master various new visual languages. The integration of computers is not just a simple addition in art teaching. Constructing a new digital art teaching system, reforming the traditional teaching methods and attaching importance to the cross-relationship between disciplines will surely become the requirements of higher art education and the times.
