| While the modern educational reform of the fine arts emphasizes the learning of the knowledge and skills, it also emphasizes the comprehensive development of students, and more and more attention is being paid to students'development of the comprehensive abilities, such as exploring and creating. Basing on this, the author has pondered preliminarily about the teaching of traditional Chinese painting (TCP) in middle schools, and thought that the discussion and exploration are still needed for the space expression property and law of the TCP teaching in middle schools, which is a cut-in viewpoint of the teaching of TCP, and through it the students can be inspired to be familiar with the law of TCP expression and to try to create works and to express themselves.In the process of depicting the nature, Chinese painters"learn from the outside world and obtain inspiration from the inner heart", and create various aesthetic artistic conception with the unique method of observation and the way of space expression. The space expression is the important content of the teaching of TCP. Basing on respecting students'developmental law of the visual perception, this paper tries to consider the space expression as the link of the knowledge structure of TCP, and excavates its potential educational factors and explores some basic problems of the teaching of PCT deeply. This paper includes three parts: the first part, according to the current situation of the fine arts teaching in middle schools, puts forward the viewpoint that is taking the space expression as the link of learning painting knowledge and skills; the second part, using the ancient and modern Chinese painting theories for reference, expounds the characteristics of the space expression of the TCP basically, and according to students'developmental law of the visual perception and their cognitive characteristics, this part also analyzes the influence of the space expression of TCP for their development of the artistic abilities. In the final part, the author, taking the teaching idea of"students centered", guides students to explore the basic knowledge and abilities of TCP self-determinedly in the process of creating. TCP going from the objective summary of space characteristics of the nature to the subjective operation of painting space, which eventually creates the aesthetic artistic conception that answers for the individual, and the knowledge system of TCP is displayed in process of exploring completely and orderly.Taking the space expression of TCP as the exploring cut-in of the middle school teaching can intensify the connection between the knowledge and skills, and can make students grasp the expressive forms of TCP wholly; the subjective expression of TCP for space can also arouse students'creativity and learning initiative, and promote students'comprehensive development, and exert the educational value of TCP fully. |
