每个孩子都有绘画天赋，就看你怎么启发! 每个孩子都有绘画天赋 每个孩子都有绘画天赋 ，就看你怎么启发！ – Visual Arts Centre 美国当代著名的美术教育家、心理学家罗恩菲德曾说过：在艺术教育里，艺术只是一种达到目的方式，而不是一个目标：艺术教育的目标时使人在创造的过程中，变得更富有创造力将施于何处。假如孩子长大了，而由他的美感经验获得较高的创造力，并将之应用于生活和职业，那么艺术教育的一项重要目标就已达成。 教育家蔡元培先生认为，美育的目的在于陶养人的感情，认识美丑，培养高尚的兴趣、积极进去的人生态度。实际上，艺术从来不是艺术本身，而是整个人生观。 教育家蔡元培先生认为，美育的目的在于陶养人的感情，认识美丑，培养高尚的兴趣、积极进去的人生态度。实际上，艺术从来不是艺术本身，而是整个人生观。 法国雕塑家罗丹说：世界上不缺少美，而是缺少发现美的眼睛。而要培养善于发现美的眼睛，艺术教育必不可少。 位于多美歌地铁站上方，公园草坪中的新加坡视觉艺术中心开设儿童趣味创意绘画班，招收4岁至10岁儿童。针对不同年龄段儿童，导师会设计适合儿童年龄段课程。课程内容丰富多彩、极具创意性、趣味性、专业性。课室交通便利；身处多美歌公园鲜花树木绿草之中，花香四溢，环境清幽，是小朋友玩耍、游戏、绘画的好地方。 怎样“教”小朋友画画？ 每个孩子都有绘画天赋 1）正确引导 其实小孩天生就会画画，幼儿绘画的目的不是要小孩记住形象，画出大人认为“像”的东西，而是要他们画出自己的真实想法。小孩的绘画作品不是教出来的，而是引导出来的。通过趣味故事引导绘画欲望； 2）采取“自然法” 首先为小孩创造画画环境，在特定的环境氛围中，小孩只要拿起画笔就可以随意涂鸦了。 另外和小伙伴一起画画也是重要环境之一，儿童绘画是儿童的造型游戏，既然是游戏，就要有游戏伙伴，和伙伴一起“玩”一样的事，小朋友会无比喜悦的。 德国教育家福禄贝尔曾经说过：“游戏是学习的最高境界，动手制作和绘画等”造型游戏“是孩子们最好的游戏”。让孩子们动手做造型，通过手和眼的完美配合，锻炼手眼协调能力，培养判断未来并采取行动的能力。“画画玩耍”是孩子们除语言之外的表达方式，小孩在很小的时候无法用语言充分表达自己的想法，又不能靠文字，那绘画成为他们非常有效的一种讲述自己感受的方式。大人欣赏小孩的绘画，是来”听“的，听明白了，理解了，小孩的画画乐趣就进一步地提高了。这也算是最有效的”亲子“沟通方式吧！ 儿童绘画不在于教授绘画技巧；不介意是否画的“像”；而是作为一个人在成长之初，尝试对“美”的第一次碰撞。 新加坡视觉艺术中心为小朋友设计的绘画游戏、动手制作游戏等课程，专业教师采取正确引导与“自然法”的教学方式授课，充分开发小朋友的潜能，使小朋友的沟通能力、表达能力、创新能力都加以提高。 招生对象：4岁－6岁，6岁－8岁，8岁-10岁. 课程内容： 一）趣味绘画：引导小朋友自由发挥绘画，通过描述和观察动物、植物、人物特征，让小朋友描绘物体造型，有铅笔、彩铅、蜡笔、马克笔、水彩等材料完成作品。 二）粘土彩泥制作：学习立体三维造型能力，用软的粘土彩泥雕琢出物体立体造型，锻炼手工制作及形象思维能力。 三）故事绘本：通过原有绘本讲故事，填充色彩。小朋友自己编故事自己画出生动有趣的绘本，然后讲解自己的故事。锻炼语言和表达能力；锻炼造型能力。 四）水墨写意：训练水墨基本功，练习书法，用毛笔水墨材料完成写意作品。 4 –6岁课程，重点是培养孩子们的想象力，通过导师正确引导，给孩子们讲故事，用语言描述大自然的动物、植物、物体，然后让孩子们发挥想象，把想象的结果涂鸦出来，运用彩铅、蜡笔把场景表现在画纸上。不要求孩子们画的“象”而要有自己的特色，从而培养孩子的创造力。 6 －8岁课程，重点培养孩子们的表现力。孩子们对大自然的认知可以通过用粘土把动物、植物、场景造型捏出来，呈现立体三维空间造型，再把自己的创作描绘在画纸上，接着还要求孩子们把自己的创作用语言讲诉出一个故事。从而锻炼孩子的动手能力、思维和语言能力 8 －10岁课程，重点是培养孩子的观察力，把自己发现的真实世界活灵活现地画出来，开始要求具像化，画什么象什么，学习静物、风景写生，风景速写，并运用水彩、丙烯材料完成作品。针对这个年龄段的孩子，我们会教授书法和水墨画，培养孩子们有耐心。经过专业训练，为日后学习专业绘画打下稳固的基础。 准备作品集课程 青少年报考本地艺术学院如NAFA 南洋艺术学院、LASELLE 拉萨尔艺术学院、SOTA新加坡艺术学院、NUS、NTU等或美国、英国、澳洲等外国美术学院需要准备个人艺术作品集。如果有些学生在小学想以特长生进入理想中学，以艺术才华加分，进入DSA 美术特长升学计划。Visual arts centre 提供培训课程。基础素描训练、基础色彩训练、立体构成课程、创作训练、面试经验培训等准备作品集课程 课程收费： 12 session kids art immersion at $568.00 ( All materials are provided) 12 …
