Wu Weishan, curator of the China Art Museum, brought a proposal to the two sessions, calling for the abolition of various art grade examinations. Seeing this suggestion, people finally recalled the fear of being dominated by the grade examination in childhood. Before the wall fell, everyone rushed up and kicked and kicked. The "grade examination", which had been criticized, was once again submerged by angry spittle stars. I am in favor of canceling the grade examination with both hands and feet. Parents, these certificates are really useless. They are a very amateur assessment. They used to score extra points in the college entrance examination. What can they do now? The only use is that when you meet the child next door in the elevator, you can say, "my daughter has piano level 10. What about you, child? Can you play to Alice?" If you think this greeting is full of meaning, when I didn't say it. I asked a friend who studied piano, have you passed the piano band 10? I don't know his answer yet, because after I said this, he broke up with me. Then I went to find out. It turned out that saying that I had passed a certain level in front of art students was equivalent to snapping my fingers in front of mieba. It's useless. It's not helpful. Some things can't be tested on the spot, so naturally they won't appear in the questions of grade examination. For example, can journalism postgraduate entrance examination be an on-site interview? No. But many times, the difference between a good reporter and a mediocre reporter lies in whether you can communicate smoothly with strangers, rather than whether you can write an interview outline with a template. In fact, the grading test is more pit than this. Their questions are not only rigid, but many are fixed. It takes a period of time to recite and practice every day. So many children have to disrupt their learning rhythm every three or five times to attack those questions. What does art need most? It's creativity. These grading tests can be said to be full of routines, which skews the child's aesthetic foundation. However, many people mentioned this point in the voices against the cancellation of the grade examination. They say that it is because of the grade examination that children can stick to learning. I looked at it, which can be divided into two situations: first, children don't like learning this art, and the so-called persistence is forced by parents; Second, children like learning and want to show themselves through the grade examination. If it is the first case, it is originally "interests and hobbies". If you don't want to learn, don't learn. It doesn't just mean that parents force their children to learn this just to achieve the hard target of comparison. It's normal for children to be interested in a course and stop learning in a few days. It's like I'm bored. I search the Internet for a movie and find it's a bad movie. Can't I turn it off? It's like I bought a dessert that looks like mangosteen. I took a bite and found it was garlic. Can't I throw up? What's more, children are still in a stage of exploring what they like. Did he say in the kindergarten that he likes Xiaohong at the same table? Will you bring your family to propose marriage tomorrow, so that he must be consistent with Xiaohong? Children are not happy. You still say "persistence" with a high sounding voice and call it "they will thank me when they grow up". Do you think you are great? If it is the second case, the child wants to take the exam himself. In that case, in fact, I understand this mentality of trying to prove myself. It's like playing a game. After playing a monster, gold coins will fall down. What a sense of achievement. It is precisely because of this that I see those training institutions with mixed qualifications boasting these certificates to heaven, making special use of the grade examination to earn parents' money and waste children's time. Therefore, we should strengthen campus aesthetic education. The first is to pay attention to art classes and praise children's creations in class, especially creative works. We should also hold more art exhibitions and music festivals so that children can show their level in front of their classmates. When I was in junior high school, the school held a painting competition. The winning works were directly mounted and hung on the school corridor. You can see them every time you go upstairs and downstairs. Isn't it better than a sketch level 10 certificate? Let children speak with creativity, which is the trend of children's aesthetic education. (Xinhua News Agency)
