“致敬艺术家”

VPA不光在学术上追求卓越，在艺术方面也有着不一般的追求。

【资料图】

我们的艺术课程结合了国内外课程标准，从中提取精华，最后形成我们学校自己的课程体系。

在最近的单元中，我们的美术老师李皓带着大家一起致敬艺术家，每个年级学习了不一样的艺术家的风格和表现形式。最终将孩子们的作品一一展示在我们的达芬奇艺术长廊。

A Tribute to the Artists

VPA not only pursues excellence in academics, but also pursues something different in art education.

Our art course is a combination of our national and international standards, we absorb the essence of both, and form our own curriculum.

In the current unit, our art teacher, Helena Li, guided students to pay a tribute to different artists. They learned different art styles and ways of expression according to their grades. In the end of the unit, we presented every child’s work in the Da Vinci"s Gallery.

以问题为导向的跨学科探究课程

我们从问题开始，以此为导向，开展单元课程。我们会向孩子们提问，比如我们会问他们“小时候有没有在墙上乱涂乱画的经历？”“从这些作品中能看出什么元素和特点？” 同时，我们也鼓励孩子们提问，充分发挥他们的好奇心。

网课时期老师让孩子们自由画线条

老师让他们带着问题去学习，产生自主能动性，通过自己的思考获取知识与技能，而不是靠老师单方面灌输。

课程大致分为四个步骤：

1

调研记录

培养孩子们的观察记录的能力

比如我们整个单元的课程从学习线条开始，先是让孩子们观察生活中的线条，从家里找出和线条相关的东西，他们提到了头发丝、毛线团、立交桥、鸟巢等。

2

探索

初步探索内容与材料

接着我们带着孩子们做线条练习，让他们听着音乐，随着音乐的节奏画线条。我们还跟四年级的孩子们提到了斐波那契螺旋线、黄金分割，实现了跨学科的教学。

3

发展

深入探究所学的内容

在发展阶段，我们给学生们展示了不同艺术家在线条上的表现形式，锻炼孩子们的批判性思维。

通过向艺术家、他们的风格及艺术形式学习，并且继续跨学科，我们的美术课变得丰富多彩。比如二年级的欧普艺术，结合了光学，五年级的康定斯基，结合了音乐。

4

呈现

作品的呈现及表达

在最后的呈现阶段，我们选择了环保材料做了废物利用，比如五年级的作品就是在我们废旧的纸壳上完成的，多余的纸壳我们还拿来做了画框。

Problem-Oriented Interdisciplinary Inquiry Course

We usually start with questions to open our units. We would post questions to children, such as "Have you drawn on the wall when you were little?" "What elements and characteristics can you see from these works?" And we also encourage children to ask questions, to express their creativities.

Free Drawings During Online Class

Our teacher will guide them through questions, and they will have agency to study. They will learned the knowledge and skills with independent thinking, and not only from teacher"s words.

The course is divided into 4 steps:

1

Research

Develop children"s ability to research

For example, our whole unit started by learning lines, and we asked children to observe the lines in daily life. They mentioned hairs, knitting wool, flyovers, nests, and so on.

2

Explore

Briefly explore the content and materials

Then we took them into line practice, we asked them to listen to the music and draw lines according to the rhythm. We also mentionsFibonacci Spiral and golden ratioto have the interdisciplinary teaching.

3

Develop

Develop into the content

During this period, we showed students the different styles from different artists, to encourge them to use critical thinking skill.

By learning from the artists, their styles and ways of expression, and continuing theinterdisciplinary teaching, our art class had plenty of fun. For example, we learned Op Art in Year 2 and it incorporated optics, and in Year 5, we had music with art.

4

Present

Final Expression

In the end of the whole process, we chose to use recycled materials to protect our planet. For example, the artworks from Year 5 were created on cardboards, and the rest of the cardboards was used to make the frames.

我们的目标是将初高中的课程低龄化渗入，不管以后是否走上艺术的道路，我们都希望能让孩子们从小养成一个有规律、有框架的思考方式。

我们还会给对美术抱有兴趣，且愿意展示的孩子们布置微型展览馆，让每个孩子都有机会展示自己的作品。

学生个人微型展览馆

每周四放学后我们还有“艺术实验室”社团，孩子们可以在艺术中探索新的乐趣。

艺术实验室

在VPA，每一门课程学的都不光光是学科上的知识，我们希望通过各个科目来给予孩子们终身的财富，那就是：有逻辑的思维模式以及解决问题的能力。拥有这些“小脑筋”和“超能力”，孩子们走到哪里都不怕。

Our goal is to make the course for middle and high school lower for the young kids. Whether they will pursue in the field of art or not, we hope they can form an organized way of thinking.

We also provide opportunity for children who love art and are willing to show their works. We set up a micro art show for everyone to present their works.

Micro Art Show of a student

Every Thursday we have a club called Art Lab after school, and it"s a time for children to explore more fun ways of doing art.

Art Lab

At VPA, every class is not only teaching the knowledge of that single subject, we hope to provide the life-long "wealth" for students, and that includes: the way of thinking with logics and the ability to solve problems. Children who own those "brains" and "super powers" will not be afraid to go anywhere.
