Features: The "21st Century Art Textbooks for Higher Art Colleges" embodies the spirit of the new era, gathering the efforts of numerous experts, scholars, and core teaching staff from various higher education institutions in art education and design disciplines. It represents outstanding research achievements in the field of modern art education. With the joint efforts of Anhui Fine Arts Publishing House, the textbooks have finally been launched. They not only fill the gap in current art textbooks for higher education institutions but also hold profound significance for promoting art quality education in modern universities.
The entire series of textbooks has been compiled in accordance with the newly issued requirements for art education textbooks in higher education institutions by the Ministry of Education, addressing the practical needs of teaching while adhering to three fundamental principles:
1. Emphasizing foundational education. The richness and complexity of (plastic arts) demand rigorous requirements for foundational knowledge and skills, necessitating scientific and systematic learning and training. Students should not only master the basic methods and techniques of plastic arts but also, more importantly, grasp the essential visual form principles.
2. Focusing on art literacy. Whether in art education or design disciplines, the students we cultivate should possess solid foundational knowledge, as well as strong art literacy, keen visual awareness, and refined aesthetic tastes.
3. Guiding innovation and exploration. To help students progress from lower-level to higher-level thinking, moving from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom. This series of textbooks not only emphasizes the education of professional foundational knowledge but also integrates modern teaching concepts, with particular attention to guiding "visual thinking methods." It will enable students to approach future explorations more actively, playing a crucial role in inspiring innovation.
Inheritance and innovation are eternal themes in art exploration and education. In this sense, the textbooks must continuously absorb new research and teaching achievements to remain ever-improved. We believe that with strong support from educational administrative departments and the joint efforts of experts, scholars, and core teaching staff in higher education institutions, the "21st Century Art Textbooks for Higher Art Colleges" will continue to evolve with the times and become even more mature.
