现代艺术教育始于西方,随着中西方关系的不断发展,艺术交流对话也越来越多。近年来,国内媒体对于艺考报道趋于频繁,艺术教育更多地被国人知晓,艺术专业也就成为了学生争相申报的学科。但是,由于文化观念的区别,中国在艺术教育上与西方存在很大差异,尤其是在教育模式、体系与方法上不尽相同,中国艺术教育还是处于落后阶段。因此,必须通过研究来明确中外艺术教育的优缺点,在保持自身艺术教育特点及优势的同时,要加强对国外艺术教育理念与教育方法的研究,以此提升国内艺术教育质量。本文首先阐述了中外艺术教育的相同之处,其次分析了中外艺术教育存在的差异,并提出教学方法合理融合的建议,仅供广大艺术教育者参考。 Modern art education began in the West.
