How to Cultivate Pupils' Interest in Photography

1. It is the general trend of current education to cultivate students' good ideology, morality and noble sentiments, and to use aesthetic education instead of preaching and entertaining education. Because of the authenticity and credibility of photographic images, the education that creators get from them is more effective than other means. The real and vivid image education of photographic art is very helpful to cultivate students' correct outlook on life and values. Through photographic works and personal participation in shooting practice, students are consciously guided to observe the society correctly.

The most obvious educational effect is to discover and capture the bright spots of society with cameras, eulogize the truth, goodness and beauty of society, and lash the false, evil and ugly of society. For example, some school educators in Shanghai, in order to make students pay attention to Shanghai's municipal construction, especially the progress of tree planting and greening projects, organized the same group of students to shoot creative activities in the same place for half a year, so that students could feel this change personally. By comparing the photos taken before and after, we can give students a vivid, profound and effective social education and achieve good results. This model can be seen everywhere, so I won't go into details here. The practicality of photography has led to countless educational functions. In addition to cultivating and improving students' aesthetic ability, observation ability and reaction ability, photography can also have a positive impact on children's living habits, ideological character and behavior patterns: for example, going out to collect customs, cultivating the spirit of hard work and the ability to take care of themselves independently; Group travel enhances students' team consciousness and mutual concern. What's more, some teachers have observed that photography can make some introverted or even depressed children get good treatment; For example, some grumpy children can fundamentally change their thoughts and behaviors after a photo activity that cares for the poor. Compared with other forms of education, these educational effects are very favorable. 2. It is conducive to promoting the development of teenagers' comprehensive ability and mastering many skills. Photography is a comprehensive skill. Through photography activities, we can cultivate students' observation ability, thinking ability, imagination ability and practical ability, and also cultivate a series of related abilities such as organization, expression, overall planning, contingency, cooperation, coordination and independent work. Photography creation is not simply pressing the shutter. Sometimes, in order to complete a creative task, from planning to on-site scheduling can be said to be an exercise of students' comprehensive ability. Because you want to create photography, you will encounter all kinds of difficulties and deal with all kinds of people. For example, what if your subject doesn't cooperate with shooting? What if I can't find the best photography spot? This requires students to have good overall planning ability, communication ability and adaptability. For example, in Shanghai, once a teacher organized a student to go to a juvenile sports school for photography creation. The first problem was that the other party did not receive him. After negotiation, he finally entered the creative scene, and then he met with difficulties in unsatisfactory lighting and scenes. After repeated selection and waiting by his classmates, he finally got a satisfactory creative map. The photographic work of one of his classmates won the grand prize in the national sports photography competition. Through this activity and solving problems in the activity, students have a deeper understanding of the social significance of photography creation.

Second, how to promote photography education in schools. Like computer education, the main positions of photography education in the future are schools and classrooms. Judging from the current educational practice in schools, there are some successful experiences that can be used for reference. 1. Take the teaching mode of combining in-class and out-of-class, and deliberately combine photography with various subjects to play the role of photography as an auxiliary course teaching. The operation mode of combining in-class and out-of-class makes photography deeper and more vivid. The technical knowledge popularized in the classroom makes children know more about photography; Extracurricular colorful practice makes children full of enthusiasm and hands-on interest in photography. In practice, full-time teachers in photography class not only explain photography knowledge, but also integrate knowledge. For example, when they meet an insect, they will guide their children to learn. When they meet a landform, they will explain it to their children, including nature, geography and history. Photography teaching adopts the mode of combining in-class and out-of-class, deliberately combining photography with various subjects, and giving full play to the role of photography in minor courses teaching. Photography, as a modern culture and technology, is a frontier science integrating optics, electronics, chemistry, politics, news, fine arts, music, literature and many other disciplines, and it is also another form of visual language. Photography education in primary and secondary schools has played an important auxiliary role in the teaching of fine arts, aesthetics, Chinese, music, politics and related science and engineering disciplines.
