With the development
in the past three years, the artistic education
of our school has been effectively improved and
gradually become mature.
1. To stress and perfect the integration of artistic
education throughout the school
The principle, dean of
studies pay much attention to the artistic education.
The school's leading group of artistic education
regularly hold the meeting, discussing the activities
of artistic education. The operating net system
of artistic education at all levels has gradually
been formed at our school, which includes the
principle, dean of studies, general art director,
instructors of arts and guest instructors. Thus.
all the efforts can be unified in time to solve
the key or difficult problems in the artistic
education. The school has kept all the materials
and data concerning artistic education since 1998,
such as plans, programs, summary or even some
relevant photos, video tapes, disks, etc.
Because of the school
leaders' emphasis and good administration, our
school has an excellent art faculty. We regularly
conduct artistic activities, such as all the staff's
artistic singing, popularization of artistic knowledge,
etc. in order to improve all the staff's artistic
level. Moreover, we have arranged for art instructors'
further study to improve their artistic quality.
2. To conduct the construction of "Three
Troupes and One Team" (i.e. the school's
chorus troupe, dancing troupe, musical instrument
troupe and painting & calligraphy team)
The school actually incorporate
artistic education into the overall teaching program
of the school. We ensure to have two artistic
classes every week. Besides we try to work out
some master pieces. In the past three years, our
school's various artistic classes have all won
the Second Teaching Prizes at the municipal and
district level.
The school puts emphasis
on the construction of "Three Troupes and
One Team", and makes it radiate every aspect
of artistic education. The school opens over 10
artistic taste groups every year and has achieved
very good effects. The achievements of three troupes
and one team are specially remarkable. In the
past years, these three troupes have respectively
won the First prizes of various competitions in
the district. The painting & calligraphy team
often conducted publicity activities in the form
of board painting display throughout the school
and has also won the First, Second and Third Prizes
respectively in the district, in the municipal,
in the country or even in the world. The school
held Art Festival every year and regularly conducted
various artistic activities, such as Monthly Song,
Weekly dance, etc. All the pupils and teachers
participated in them.
3. To endeavour to create new highlight
Since 2001, our school
has started and developed three artistic projects
at the district level, i.e. chorus, dance and
Kou organ (an organ with blowpipe). We invited
professionals to our school to give direction
to the activities which were conducted every week.
In the process of accumulation, we compiled the
teaching materials and musical pieces of Kou organ
and chorus by ourselves, ensuring the conduct
and improvement of the activities.
The highlight of our school's
artistic education is the popularization of Kou
organ. Kou organ entering the classroom and utilizing
Kou organ to assist teaching is a trend of modern
musical teaching. We first started Kou organ teaching
in a trial class and then popularized it throughout
the school, which was the original case in Xuhui
District. We compiled Kou organ teaching materials
and manipulation practice as well as learned the
blowing skills. We performed Kou organ pieces
in the grade and in the whole school, which all
received good comments. On the other hand, the
pupils' performance skills have gradually been
improved day by day. In 2002. our school held
the mouth organ, Kou organ and flute competition
of the Xuhui District Art Festival and achieved
great success. Xingmin Evening newspaper reported
it and gave very good comments. Playing Kou organ
has become popular in our school. The grand occasion
that a thousand people play Kou organ shows the
very characteristic of musical education in Xuhui
District today. Next semester, our school will
hold a Kou organ competition called "the
presence of Kou organ sound in every class".
At that time, the performance level of our school
will be further improved and such characteristic
of artistic education will certainly more marvelous.
4. To be practical and give full support to the
artistic education
These years, our school,
based on certain requirements, has practically
arranged space, time, contents, expenditure, equipment
and so on for the artistic education. Besides
we have a group of art staff who are stable, efficient
and with high teaching proficiency. The artistic
education of our school has not only got financial,
manpower and material support, but also has powerful
theory support. After successful application for
the establishment of municipal project, the relevant
research projects of our school's artistic education
appeared correspondingly. And every art instructor
of our school applied for sub-project. From these
research projects we finally established one key
project. After two-year practical investigation
and data accumulation, we wrote out a paper "Research
on Teaching strategy for Effective Listening Appreciation
of Elementary Pupils", which was published
in the journal Xuhui Education and recommended
to the assessment of The Third National Artistic
Thesis,
Artistic education, as
an important part of quality education, is being
deepened and improved at our school and has become
a beautiful scenery in the campus culture. This
has also become an important back on which the
pupils and teachers will improve their aesthetic
tastes. We will keep on endeavouring to make our
school into a really wonderful school with artistic
education characteristics.
