中国现代美育的艺术理路

摘要

中国现代美育具有时代特征。以蔡元培为代表的一批美学家提倡美育，将对艺术的理解作为重要维度，具体表现在三个方面：竭力求得艺术的“力”、“美”，彰显其社会作用；积极要求以艺术改造现实，主张人生美化；着力普及“艺术家”能力，提振国人之精神。其艺术论体现出历史要求的必然性及本土话语特色。%Modern Chinese aesthetic education bore the imprint of the age that nourished it.The generation of aesthetes re-presented by Cai Yuanpei enthusiastically advocated aesthetic education and made appreciation of art an important dimension of it.There were three major aspects to this:first;the"force"and"beauty"of art were arduously sought after and the so-cial functions of art received prominent emphasis;second; a call was made to reform reality through art and beautify life;third;efforts were made to instill in the public the sensitivity of the "artist".Meanwhile, the art theories of the time also made a point of embodying historical inevitability and characteristics of indigenous discourse.
