“新感受力”培养——普教美术不可忽视的一个目标

The Cultivation of "A New Sensibility"——An Objective in General Fine Art Education not to be Ignored

很久以来,人们对艺术是什么、艺术的价值有哪些以及艺术的类型和接受方式等问题进行了探讨,研究者见仁见智。上世纪60年代,美国女作家桑塔格提出"新感受力"的美学思想,开启艺术研究的新思路———一条通向现实生活的艺术之路,让我们看到了用艺术妥善处理人类精神问题的一种思路。如今现代艺术与设计的融合,在世界各地文化建设中出现了一些成功案例(如当代的建筑、景观以及公共艺术),从中可以找到"新感受力"思想所产生的影响。而作为公民审美素质培养途径之一的美术教育,在其培养目标上恐怕有必要进行反思。

Through the ages, people have aired different opinions on issues such as what constitutes art, where its values lie and what its types and its ways of reception are. In the 1960s American writer Susan Sontag proposed an aesthetic ideology of ＂ New Sensibility＂ in the 1960s, opening a new path for research in art, a path that leads to art in real life and enables us to deal properly with human spirituality through art. At present, successful cases of the blending of modern art and design are reported in cultural constructions around the world, such as modern architecture, landscaping and public art. In all these constructions the impact of this ＂ new sensibility＂ is clearly visible. This provides much food for thought as to what objec- tives to set for art education as a way of refining the aesthetic sensibility of our citizens.
