| Dialogue and communication are important mechanisms for the construction of aesthetic values, which should be based on individual students' conversation and communication practiced in various forms on campus.The procedures for constructing aesthetic values must be advanced steadily and the performance ensured.And further carry into execution trial,modification and consolidation of aesthetic values through dialogue and communication with open culture and profound life.On the whole,the interrelations within aesthetic values are the core of the mechanism;aesthetic classes in the post-modernistic scope,the nature;aesthetic education elements,the execution;effective and permanent dialogue and communication,the safeguard.The fundamental basis for constructing aesthetic values is none other than the individual who admires and appreciates and the core is dialogue and communication between different aesthetic values.Dialogue and communication here first of refer to those participated by students as individual aesthetic subject.And this is made possible only by the mere unity of aesthetic subjects and objects, embodied in the fact that aesthetic values are a relational category,a unity arising in the process of practice.Dialogue and communication between aesthetic value relations are actualized in the conversation between aesthetic subjects and objects and the communication between intersubjectivity. The admirer as an individual aesthetic subject will invariably contemplate and converse with the aesthetic object,representing the dual transformation between subjects,objects and intersubjectivity. In the conversing process,the subjectivity of aesthetic values stands out and the subjectivity of the admirer is constructed.As Meyer Howard Abrams classically advocates in his The Mirror and Lamp, apart from admirer and artwork,there are another two aesthetic subjects,namely,the artist and the world.The four roles combine together to constitute the subjects of aesthetic activities,thus the aesthetic activity transforming from mono-subject activity to quadric-subject interplay and representing the intersubjectivity of aesthetics.In the intertwined dialogue and communication is completed the construction aesthetic values and the switching from subjectivity to intersubjectivity.Education,in its effort to cultivate people in social practice,is in essence an interpersonal communicative interaction based on the productive activities.Communicative practices in the educational context is in practice the process of educational subjects' interplay,and mutual exploration and understanding,an interpersonal heart-to-heart conversation.Conversation and communication in aesthetic classes in post-modernistic scope is a significant mechanic feature in the construction of contemporary aesthetic values.The essence of the feature is to facilitate the development of free spirit in students.Teacher-student,student-student,student-ego conversation and communication in aesthetic classes can represent the relational features between students and other subjects and reveal the criterion for constructing aesthetic values.Equality,dependency,openness, principle,neo-rationality and perfection are the main features of conversation and communication in the construction of aesthetic values in school settings and also aesthetic criterion for post-modernistic aesthetic value construction.Equality and dependency are important in constructing plural aesthetic values through harmonious and interactive class activities.Openness and principle play a significant role in constructing open aesthetic values and socialist core values.Neo-rationality and perfection act as tour guide in constructing humanistic aesthetic values.The mechanism by which aesthetic education constructs aesthetic values is mainly composed of the factors governing the educational process featuring dialogue and communication.These factors operate in different stages of the student's aesthetic experience,the student enjoying the dual identity of the aesthetic education subject and object.In selecting and studying these factors,great important must be attached to the commonness of the two most important subjects in aesthetic education, teacher and student.Aesthetic activities are mainly emotional and thus distinguishes itself from science and morality.Therefore,aesthetic education should give prominence to emotional activities and cater to emotional pleasures.Such sensible aesthetic activities as aesthetic perception,aesthetic empathy,and aesthetic fantasy emphasize particularly on the subject and form the foundation for aesthetic values construction through sensing aesthetics.Aesthetic experience is followed by aesthetic thinking,a higher class of consciousness ascending from aesthetic perception to aesthetic rationalism, from concrete values to clearer aesthetic concepts(aesthetic values).In this process,aesthetic judgment,aesthetic evaluation and aesthetic criticism and other value psychological elements, together with cognitive psychological elements,make up significant psychological elements for aesthetic value construction.Aesthetic value construction is a dynamic process,which,instead of acting as a fixed unchanging manipulator,permeates in every aesthetic experience,ending up internalized as the admirer's aesthetic needs,aesthetic tastes,aesthetic ideal and aesthetic stature, which in turn determine the subject's every aesthetic experience and in the process continuously alter and modify the admirer's aesthetic needs,aesthetic tastes,aesthetic ideal and aesthetic stature.Thus, the four elements as the long-term basis for aesthetic education reveals the fact that aesthetic value construction is a long-term dynamic process which gradually internalized into the student's aesthetic psychological schema and aesthetic personality.These elements demonstrate the actual process of aesthetic education in school setting as well as prescribe the long-term trend that aesthetic education comprises the emotional,perceptual,rational and personality interaction and interplay.Aesthetic value construction is a long-term process in which the student keeps conversing and communicating with various objects.Conversation and communication refer to those between student and text,student and teacher,student and student,student and ego as well as student and open cultures, student and real-life world.Stepping out of the aesthetic classroom into vivacious and profound aesthetic culture and real life means exiting a strait space and entering an open and far-reaching communication world.And this is the very mechanism safeguard for aesthetic value construction.And all this hinges on the employing of proper means by which the student can positively and effectively undertake dialogue and communication,the effective means of which come from those employed in aesthetic classroom.Teachers can effectively enhance conversation by imparting aesthetic knowledge, training aesthetic skills and promoting aesthetic thinking,from which students will benefit a great deal, an extension of teacher-student conversation,an important guarantee for students enjoying unrestraint dialogue and communication.Students' interaction with open cultures,whether aesthetic culture, visual culture or comprehensive aesthetic channels,can display outstanding dialogue and communication skills.Intra-curricular and extra-curricular aesthetic instruction benefit and complement each other and the aesthetic values thus constructed will eventually converse and communicate with life itself and permeates every detail of life.Only by living life as appreciating art and having aesthetic values coexist with life will the construction of aesthetic values universally display its immanent beauty.
