湘西地区是湖南省的“老、少、边、穷”地区,经济较落后,教育欠发达,在国家全面加强和改进学校美育工作特别是重点关注农村、边远、贫困和民族地区美育工作的大背景下,建立适合湘西少数民族地区农村美术教师继续教育的新模式势在必行。 In the western part of Hunan Province, the “old, the small, the edge and the poor” areas in Hunan Province are relatively backward economically and their education is underdeveloped. They have all along been strengthening and improving the work of school aesthetic education all over the country, with particular emphasis on the aesthetic education in rural areas, remote areas, poverty areas and ethnic areas , It is imperative to establish a new model suitable for continuing education of rural art teachers in minority areas of Western Hunan.
