Teaching oil painting to children in High school in China

Abstract

The relevance of the research is due to the need to find effective methods of teaching oil painting in a Chinese secondary school to develop the creative potential of students. The purpose of the work is to identify the features and determine the optimal strategies for teaching oil painting to children in the context of Chinese secondary education. Tasks: 1) to analyze the theoretical foundations of teaching oil painting; 2) to study the specifics of teaching the subject in secondary schools in China; 3) to test the effectiveness of the author's methodology experimentally. The research methods included theoretical analysis of literature, observation of the educational process (n=24), questioning of teachers (n=56) and students (n=280), forming an experiment (n=60). It has been established that the teaching of oil painting in China is based on the principles of combining traditions and innovations, individualization and technologization of education. The methodology developed by the author, based on the integration of artistic and digital technologies, has shown high effectiveness. Statistically significant differences in the level of mastery of oil painting techniques were revealed in the experimental and control groups (p<0.01). The research contributes to the theory and practice of art pedagogy, opening up opportunities for modernizing the teaching of oil painting at school. The prospects for further work are related to the scaling and dissemination of the experience gained.
