初中语文教材插图的美术学批评

Criticism on the Illustrations in Chinese Language Textbook of Junior High Schools

在中小学语文教材中配以大量插图,不仅可以用文图互补的形式增加美感,激发想象,启悟思想,而且,也是一种重要的美术教育方式。但现行人教版初中语文的相当一部分插图,在构思上缺乏对于原文精髓的把握,图文关系很难相互呼应,很难引发读者更为丰富的想象与思考。还有不少插图,在位置经营上频出纰漏。虽然在现代绘画理念的影响下,画家们在位置经营时可以追求表达的主观性,但是,课文的插图与一般的自主创作尚有区别,那就是,要在真正领会原文核心意味与关键之处的基础上,再做匠心营构。而从插图的方法技能来讲,这些插图中,竟有不少作品既缺乏造型上的"准确感",亦没能画出人物或景物的神韵来。这些应该引起高度的关注。

There are numerous of illustrations in the textbooks of primary and middle school, which could, by mutual revelation of text and pictures, not only increase the sense of beauty, inspire imagination and enlighten thinking, but also could be a significant way for the education of fine art. However, in the current Chinese Textbook for junior high school published by Renmin Jiaoyu Publishing House, many illustrations lack understanding of the text, picture and text not in corresponding, and are therefore unable to stimulate the readers＇ imagination and thinking. Moreover, many illustrations are not in their proper location. Although the painters may take the influence of modem art theory and pursue expression of their subjectivity, they cannot do it for textbook illustrations, for textbook il- lustrations are different from artistic creations, which must be done on the basis of a fully understanding of the text. In addition, a number of the illustrations do not seem to have the sense of ＂accuracy＂ and they fail to draw the charm of human figures or scenery.
