“致敬藝術家”

VPA不光在學術上追求卓越，在藝術方面也有著不一般的追求。

【資料圖】

我們的藝術課程結合了國內外課程標準，從中提取精華，最后形成我們學校自己的課程體系。

在最近的單元中，我們的美術老師李皓帶著大家一起致敬藝術家，每個年級學習了不一樣的藝術家的風格和表現形式。最終將孩子們的作品一一展示在我們的達芬奇藝術長廊。

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.

以問題為導向的跨學科探究課程

我們從問題開始，以此為導向，開展單元課程。我們會向孩子們提問，比如我們會問他們“小時候有沒有在墻上亂涂亂畫的經歷？”“從這些作品中能看出什么元素和特點？” 同時，我們也鼓勵孩子們提問，充分發揮他們的好奇心。

網課時期老師讓孩子們自由畫線條

老師讓他們帶著問題去學習，產生自主能動性，通過自己的思考獲取知識與技能，而不是靠老師單方面灌輸。

課程大致分為四個步驟：

1

調研記錄

培養孩子們的觀察記錄的能力

比如我們整個單元的課程從學習線條開始，先是讓孩子們觀察生活中的線條，從家里找出和線條相關的東西，他們提到了頭發絲、毛線團、立交橋、鳥巢等。

2

探索

初步探索內容與材料

接著我們帶著孩子們做線條練習，讓他們聽著音樂，隨著音樂的節奏畫線條。我們還跟四年級的孩子們提到了斐波那契螺旋線、黃金分割，實現了跨學科的教學。

3

發展

深入探究所學的內容

在發展階段，我們給學生們展示了不同藝術家在線條上的表現形式，鍛煉孩子們的批判性思維。

通過向藝術家、他們的風格及藝術形式學習，并且繼續跨學科，我們的美術課變得豐富多彩。比如二年級的歐普藝術，結合了光學，五年級的康定斯基，結合了音樂。

4

呈現

作品的呈現及表達

在最后的呈現階段，我們選擇了環保材料做了廢物利用，比如五年級的作品就是在我們廢舊的紙殼上完成的，多余的紙殼我們還拿來做了畫框。

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.

我們的目標是將初高中的課程低齡化滲入，不管以后是否走上藝術的道路，我們都希望能讓孩子們從小養成一個有規律、有框架的思考方式。

我們還會給對美術抱有興趣，且愿意展示的孩子們布置微型展覽館，讓每個孩子都有機會展示自己的作品。

學生個人微型展覽館

每周四放學后我們還有“藝術實驗室”社團，孩子們可以在藝術中探索新的樂趣。

藝術實驗室

在VPA，每一門課程學的都不光光是學科上的知識，我們希望通過各個科目來給予孩子們終身的財富，那就是：有邏輯的思維模式以及解決問題的能力。擁有這些“小腦筋”和“超能力”，孩子們走到哪里都不怕。

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.
