Research On Developing Rural Aesthetic Education Curriculum Based On Rural Value

Under the background of rural revitalization,the construction of rural aesthetic education is particularly important.Promoting the development of aesthetic education in rural areas is of special significance for paying attention to the value of rural areas,enlightening students’ aesthetic experience from life and enhancing their self-confidence in rural culture.However,there are two problems in rural aesthetic education at present.One is that the urban value has invaded the rural curriculum seriously in the content of aesthetic education,ignoring the curriculum development of rural value.Second,the teaching method is single,limited to textbook art knowledge teaching,away from the material and cultural foundation of the countryside.Although many teachers realize the importance of using local resources to develop aesthetic education curriculum,there is no efficient curriculum development method,which hinders the development of rural aesthetic education.The author uses the method of art tour to realize the continuous transformation of research,artistic creation and teaching,so as to successfully transform rural values into aesthetic education courses.From 2020 to now,under the guidance of my tutor,the author has participated in two rural aesthetic education projects: the development of "Luding Jiubao New Biography" school-based art course for Luding Bridge Primary School and the integrated "cross-generation aesthetic education" research course for Songxi Village.These two projects adopt the student-centered embodied cognition,cooperative learning and open learning methods for teaching design.These two projects help the children in the village to understand the beauty around them,create art works with regional cultural characteristics,and participate in rural revitalization in the process of rural aesthetic education.Based on the narrative research method and the autobiographical method,this paper describes how art tour can help teachers to have a keen insight into the rural values that can be converted into art courses,so as to develop aesthetic education courses with local characteristics quickly,efficiently and with quality.Studies show that by promoting teachers’ conversion among three identities(researcher,creator,teacher),between teachers and students,and among other identities,art tour can generate new cognition and new artistic creation,develop rural characteristics of aesthetic education curriculum,and successfully transform rural values into aesthetic education curriculum resources.Through questionnaire and interview,the author analyzes the effect of rural aesthetic education.The result shows that the application of art tour can effectively develop a characteristic and sustainable rural aesthetic education course.Mastering art tour can help rural teachers transform rural values into rural aesthetic education resources and courses in a reasonable and effective way,and promote the cultural revitalization of rural communities.
