Abstract:
John Dewey systematically discusses art in his representative work of aesthetics, Art as Experience. He understands art from experience and believes that art is a kind of perfect and strengthened experience, which is connected with daily experience rather than separate from it. Dewey believed that not only art itself was instructive, but that the principles and methods of artistic creation could be extended to all education. Dewey's view of art illustrates why and how schools should pay attention to "art education" as a necessary education, rather than ignoring it as a superfluous one. Moreover, Dewey's artistic thoughts also help us to better understand "the art of education" from such aspects as the concept of active work, the correlation between interest and effort, and the unity of teaching materials and methods. Starting from Dewey's art theory, we can get a better grasp of the relationship between art and education, as well as Dewey's educational theory.
杜威在其美学代表作《艺术即经验》中对艺术进行了系统性的论述。他从经验来理解艺术,认为艺术是一种完善和强化的经验,是与日常经验相联系的而不是分离的。杜威相信不仅艺术本身是有教育意义的,而且艺术创作的原则和方法也可以延伸到所有的教育之中。杜威的艺术观阐明了学校为什么以及应如何将“艺术的教育”视为一种必要的教育而予以重视,而不是将其视为一种多余而予以忽略。而且,杜威的艺术思想也帮助我们从诸如主动性作业的概念、兴趣和努力的关联、教材和方法的统一等方面更好地理解了“教育的艺术”。从杜威的艺术理论出发,我们能够对艺术和教育的关系、同时也对杜威的教育理论获得更好的把握。
