Creation starts from Classroom
当代的美术教育已经发生了翻天覆地的变化,世界上的每一所美术院校都在进行教学改革,重视美术学生的创新能力的培养。这种能力不仅仅是重复已有的艺术,而变成是一种独立的思考与手头功夫的能力,能够驾驭多种学科领域的复合型视觉人才。他们不仅打通古今的艺术关联,重点是在当代社会的大变局中能够横向地将不同的视觉文化、视觉媒介、视觉语言与多领域的前沿创造结合起来,创造新的艺术形态和艺术表现。因此,课堂就成为学生产生、激发创新思维的第一步和关键的起点。中央美院的教学变革就是从教室开始的。
Contemporary art education has changed dramatically, as every art school in the world is carrying out educational reform and attaching importance to the cultivation of art students' innovation capability. This ability contributes to the birth of compound talents of visual arts, which is more than just a repetition of existing art, but also a kind of independent thinking and craftsmanship that can master a variety of disciplines. They not only connect the ancient and modern arts, but also combine different visual cultures, visual media and visual languages with cutting-edge creations in various fields to create new art forms and artistic expressions in the great changes of contemporary society. Therefore, the classroom becomes the first step and the crucial starting point for students to produce and stimulate innovative thoughts. The educational reform of the Central Academy of Fine Arts starts in the classroom.
Central Academy of Fine Arts
中央美院实验艺术学院包含了实验艺术、科技艺术、社会性艺术三大教学方向。其中实验艺术方向保持了学科的最初内涵,研究传统与当代的继承、发展与创新,下设传统语言课程体系与物质化呈现课程体系。科技艺术以人工智能、生物科技、人机交互、数字媒体、新型材料等高新科技为全新方向,是具有广泛社会需求和巨大创新能力的艺术、科技交叉的领域。而社会性艺术方向注重艺术实践与社会公共空间相结合,在社会激流中完成实验和创新,引导学生超越小我,在社会历练中获得大我,实现自己的价值。在本次教博会中,实验艺术学院将基于上述三个方向,邀请中央美院的老师,以及艺术家和行业资深人士作为客座教师,在展区中专设三个教室的展开现场教学,以呈现央美实验艺术学院的教学方式和理念。
School of Experimental Art (SEA) of Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) has three majors, Experimental Art, Science and Technology Art, and Social Art. The Experimental Art has direct connection to the core of the discipline by studying the traditional and contemporary practice. It has two curriculum systems, the traditional language courses and the courses of materialization of presentation. The Science and Technology Art focuses on the new technology fields as AI, biotech, humancomputer interaction, digital media, and new material. It is a realm with interaction between art and science, and with great potential of social need and creativity. The Social Art concerns more on the connection between art practice and the public space. The students are encouraged to exceed their ego and reach the larger self by social practice, accomplish their experimental and creative work in the waves of the society, and eventually fulfill their self-worth. As a presentation at FutureLab, SEA builds three classrooms in the exhibition hall according to the above majors. The teachers from CAFA, and the artists and other practitioners in the art fields are invited to give on-site lectures and workshops to the public. By this way, we hope to demonstrate the pedagogical methodologies and ideas of SEA.
