美丽心灵

从细处说，美育是教育孩子发现美、理解美、追求美，让美的精神融入日常生活；从大处说，美育是以美育人、以文化人，让中华美育为文化自信筑基。

“美术教育是美育的重要组成部分，对塑造美好心灵具有重要作用。”日前，习近平总书记给中央美术学院8位老教授回信强调，弘扬中华美育精神，让祖国青年一代身心都健康成长。这一要求充分体现了美术教育的重要性，有助于通过美育为青少年涵养一颗“美丽心灵”。

没有美的教育，就不可能有完整的教育。一朵云在大人眼中是一团水汽，在孩子眼中是大象、城堡乃至一整个奇异世界，而美育就是回归对孩子生命直觉的引导，用美来温润孩子的眼睛和心灵。今天，美育正在得到越来越多的重视。不论是校园里的美育课、家庭中的亲子绘画，还是美术馆里孩子们的身影，都反映出“以美育人”理念的深入人心。通过绘画、音乐、文学作品等，让美的元素进入孩子的世界，在潜移默化中获得一双发现美的眼睛。成功的美育，能让孩子们感受到什么是“江南可采莲，莲叶何田田”，什么是中国画的“远山如黛、近水含烟”，什么是诗词书画背后的人生际遇、家国情怀。也正是在这种可感可知的审美中，引导孩子领略古今中外的艺术瑰宝，让美进入日常生活，进而在审美中感受我们的历史与文化。

美育不是应试，也不仅仅是传授技能，而是让孩子的眼睛因为发现美而闪亮。毋庸讳言，一段时间里，美育在整个教育中相对属于短板。在一些人看来，美育工作是少数人的事，也不是每一个孩子都要接受美育；在具体的美育工作中，存在着以技代艺、重应试轻素养等现象；在社会上，各种类型的美术培训机构在蓬勃发展的同时，也不同程度存在功利导向、利益驱动，“美术考级热”就是其中一例。也正因此，国务院办公厅2015年9月印发了《关于全面加强和改进学校美育工作的意见》，提出让每个学生都享有接受美育的机会，去年教育部又与13个省区市签署了学校美育改革发展备忘录。从学校到家庭和社会，都要更加重视美育，摒弃功利化的美育倾向，保护好孩子的想象力与创造力，确保每个孩子都能接受到让他们受益一生的美育。

美育是审美教育，也是情操教育和心灵教育。正如中央美术学院首任院长徐悲鸿所倡导的，中华美育精神应该是《中庸》里阐述的“尽精微，致广大”。从细处说，美育是教育孩子发现美、理解美、追求美，让美的精神融入日常生活；从大处说，美育是以美育人、以文化人，让中华美育为文化自信筑基。近代以来，从王国维将美育和智育、德育并举，到鲁迅写就《拟播布美术意见书》，再到蔡元培发表《文化运动不要忘了美育》，思想家们从来都是在民族兴盛、文明赓续的高度看待美育。也正是因为美育有着塑造灵魂的重要作用，更需要通过美育工作，引领学生树立正确的审美观念，把优秀传统文化深植于孩子们的内心，让孩子在成长过程中继承中华民族的文化基因、汲取人类文明的优秀成果。

哲学家以诗意的语言说，“教育的本质意味着，一棵树摇动一棵树，一朵云推动一朵云，一个灵魂唤醒一个灵魂。”美育的根本目的是人格的养成、灵魂的塑造。美育关乎孩子的快乐幸福，关乎国家民族的未来，需要从学校教育到社会教育、家庭教育的整体美育环境和美育共识。通过春风化雨的美育工作，让孩子成长为有信念、有情怀、有担当的人，成就更加丰富和饱满的人生。

In detail, aesthetic education is to teach children to discover, understand and pursue beauty, and to integrate the spirit of beauty into daily life.

This requirement fully reflects the importance of fine arts education, which helps to cultivate a "beautiful mind" for teenagers through aesthetic education. Without the education of beauty, there can be no complete education.

Aesthetic education is not exam-oriented, nor is it merely to impart skills, but to let children's eyes because of the discovery of beauty and shining. Needless to say, in a period of time, aesthetic education in the whole education is a relatively short board. In the view of some people, aesthetic education is a matter for a few people, and not every child should receive aesthetic education. In the specific aesthetic education work, there are such phenomena as substituting skills for skills, emphasizing examination and neglecting accomplishment. In Society, various types of fine arts training institutions in the booming development, but also to varying degrees there are utilitarian-oriented, profit-driven, "hot art exam" is one of the examples. This is why the State Council General Office published in September 2015 the opinions on comprehensively strengthening and improving aesthetic education in schools, proposing that every student be given the opportunity to receive aesthetic education, last year, the Ministry of Education and 13 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities signed a memorandum of understanding on the reform and development of aesthetic education in schools. From school to family and society, we should pay more attention to aesthetic education, abandon the utilitarian tendency of aesthetic education, protect the children's imagination and creativity, and ensure that every child can receive the aesthetic education that benefits them for a lifetime. Aesthetic education is aesthetic education, as well as emotional education and spiritual education. As the first president of the China Central Academy of Fine Arts Xu Beihong advocated, the spirit of Chinese aesthetic education should be described in the "golden mean" to the "fine, to the vast. In detail, aesthetic education is to teach children to discover, understand and pursue beauty, and to integrate the spirit of beauty into daily life. In modern times, from Wang Guowei's juxtaposition of aesthetic education with intellectual education and moral education, to Lu Xun's writing of an opinion on the spread of fine arts, to Cai Yuanpei's publication of the cultural movement don't forget aesthetic education, thinkers have always looked upon aesthetic education at the height of national prosperity and civilization. It is precisely because aesthetic education plays an important role in shaping the soul, it is even more necessary to guide students to set up correct aesthetic concepts through aesthetic education work, and to plant excellent traditional culture deep in children's hearts, let the children in the growth process of inheriting the cultural genes of the Chinese nation, draw from the outstanding achievements of human civilization. The philosopher said in the poetic language, "the essence of education means that a tree shakes a tree, a cloud pushes a cloud, and a soul awakens a soul. ". Aesthetic Education is related to the happiness of children and the future of the nation. It needs the whole aesthetic education environment and consensus from school education to Social Education and child discipline education.
