Understanding of aesthetic education

Aesthetic education mainly includes artistic beauty, natural beauty, technical beauty and tourism beauty.

Artistic beauty refers to the beauty shown in various works of art. As a form of beauty, artistic beauty is the product of the artist's creative labor. As a kind of spiritual production activity, the artist's creative activity is essentially a directional activity of human's essential power. Therefore, artistic beauty is the perceptual manifestation of human essential power through artistic images in works of art. It refers to the beauty that exists in all works of art. It is a kind of comprehensive beauty created by artists according to certain aesthetic goals, aesthetic practice requirements and aesthetic ideal guidance, and according to the laws of beauty.

Natural beauty refers to the beauty presented by various natural things. It is the unity of sociality and nature. Its sociality means that the root of natural beauty lies in practice, and its naturalness means that certain attributes and characteristics of natural things (such as colors, lines, shapes, sounds, etc.) are necessary conditions for the formation of natural beauty. Natural beauty includes the sun, moon, nebula, landscapes, flowers and birds, plants, trees, fish and insects, gardens and fields, etc. It is very vast and diverse. As an empirical phenomenon, natural beauty is something that people can often appreciate and feel.

Technical beauty is the spiritual crystallization of human activities and a product of the industrial age. Here, beauty is linked to functionality and is based on usefulness. If a wooden chair does not meet the purpose of use and is uncomfortable to sit on, it will not look beautiful no matter how gorgeously decorated it is. There is a lingo among traditional Chinese artists, which is "there are skills in art, but there are different skills in art". This sentence is very insightful and points out the connection between art and technology. Most arts have technical support. There are very few so-called conceptual arts without technical support. The day they are born is the day they end, and they can only exist once and for all. Like Dusan's "Fountain" at the beginning of the 20th century, he moved the male urinal into the art museum and it was regarded as an "art piece". However, after him, if others moved similar supplies into the art gallery, it would not be an art piece. . The reason is that this so-called artistic "creation" does not contain technical factors. However, merely having technology is not art; art is higher than technology, and technology can always only be a component of art and artistic beauty. Technical performance itself also has aesthetic value and constitutes "technical beauty" in art. This is particularly clear in traditional Chinese art. For Chinese opera fans, watching opera performances is not called "watching the opera" but "listening to the opera". Why is it called listening to opera? Because he has watched this play countless times, he already knows the characters, plot and even the expressions of the actors. He came to the theater just to listen to the singing skills of actors from different genres. Therefore, he leaned sideways and listened only with his ears. If the singer sings well, he applauds and applauds; if the singer sings poorly, he applauds and applauds. Some famous actors, as soon as they appear on the stage and sing a sentence, the audience will applaud, which is called "Hello". The actor who is applauded by the audience will sometimes withdraw from the role and bow to the audience to thank the audience for their appreciation of his singing skills. It can be seen that Chinese theater fans are the best audiences in the world, because they focus on appreciating the technical beauty in art. They are expert aesthetics and professional aesthetics. The characteristic of technical beauty lies in the dynamism of expressive functions. This dynamism can be seen in dynamic products or static products. It can be shown on the product. The soaring iron tower leads people's sight to the sky, and also elevates people's spirit to an existence beyond this world. Bridges across rivers connect the two banks, allowing roads to be extended across obstacles. These static and intuitive forms show an appearance full of momentum and vitality. This is the power of technical beauty.

Tourism beauty is a kind of beauty and beauty created by tourists during tourism activities. The occurrence of tourism beauty and aesthetic feeling is based on the activities of the tourism process. A tourism activity process consists of three parts: pre-process, process, and post-process, which are expressed as five nodes: willing to travel - traveling - traveling - staying Travel - the logical structure composed of memory travel. The former process is the recognition of tourism markers and the process of stimulating travel motivation - the desire to travel; the process is the tour process, which expresses travel, residence and recreation; the latter process is the tourists' memories of the tour after the tour activity is completed - —Yiyou. The intuitive image created by tourists due to the impact of the object image at a certain node during tourism activities is a kind of aesthetic experience and the highest experience of tourism life. It has the characteristics of mythical poetry, lyric poetry, refreshing poetry, carnival poetry, etc. The characteristics of dreamy poetry.
