Can the classroom be "moved" into an art museum? ,The design of aesthetic education courses for primary and middle school students is single
I am a primary school principal. I believe that aesthetic education is an important part of students' education. Letting students appreciate and copy beautiful works of art is a good way to promote students to have a deeper understanding of beauty, recognize beauty, and appreciate beauty.
At the beginning of this year, Shanghai’s “state-owned art aircraft carrier”, including five municipal state-owned art museums including the China Art Palace, Shanghai Chinese Painting Academy, Shanghai Oil Sculpture Institute, Liu Haisu Art Museum, and Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art, jointly released important 2023 art museums for the first time. Exhibition Project. While these projects attract professional audiences, I have been thinking about how to enable primary and secondary school students to enter the palace of art?

I think that although the current aesthetic education classes for primary and secondary school students can guarantee class time, the curriculum design is very simple, and the education on the richness, diversity, and contemporary nature of art is far from enough. Social aesthetic education is the basic function of the art museum, which embodies publicity and social value. As the most direct and effective place to carry out aesthetic education, the art museum should become a platform for schools to extend art education. Take Changning, where our primary school is located, as an example. Changning has very rich art museum resources. There are "state-owned art aircraft carriers" such as the Cheng Shifa Art Museum, Shanghai Oil Sculpture Institute, and Liu Haisu Art Museum in the area, creating an environment for primary and secondary school students in Changning to enter the art palace. Unique conditions.
In terms of operation, it is necessary for schools to establish connections with public art galleries. On the one hand, students can receive classroom education in schools. On the other hand, students should go out of campus and go to art galleries to learn and appreciate more excellent works of art, so as to improve students' understanding of the art. Cognition of beauty. At the same time, arranging teachers to lead students to visit and study together is also necessary for teachers to broaden their horizons and improve their own aesthetic abilities.
As far as I know, the China Art Museum once held a special session for students, and more than 400 students "moved" the classroom into the art museum to experience the lively art immersively. For this reason, I recommend that this practice be promoted citywide:

The cultural and tourism bureaus in each district should take the lead in organizing art venues to open special performances for primary and secondary school students, including weekend specials, holiday specials, night shows, etc. Various district education bureaus have organized and promoted schools to add on-site teaching content to their art courses. The museum-school linkage allows schools to organize students to enter art galleries, so that students can experience the infinite charm of original works by famous masters face to face in elegant art scenes. Cultivate interests, cultivate sentiments, and pursue a realm of life that is true, good, and beautiful.
