On a weekend in July, I was honored to be invited to participate in the charity activity of "Caring for Mothers and Children, Being Smart Parents" organized by Linyi Jiayi Home Economics Company, and shared with you the family aesthetic education "Ubiquitous Family Aesthetic Education" that I practiced in my marriage life. While collecting photos and writing words in PPT, it seemed that my marriage and family life in recent years had been reorganized, bit by bit, and there was a short story behind each photo, a paragraph about recording the past.

Family aesthetic education is the starting point of aesthetic education

One accepts aesthetic education at the earliest, starting from the family, so what is the main core of family aesthetic education? Parents.

why do you say that? Let me give you two examples.

In France, which is famous for its fashion and romance, children there have been doodling since childhood, and their clothes are covered with paint. Most parents are not only not angry, but also give their children praise without stint. Yes, most parents in France encourage children to learn painting from an early age, giving them enough space to develop their imagination. French parents encourage and support their children to doodle and draw, and let them touch different pens, colors and papers with their own hands in the study of drawing and manual work ..... and master their respective characteristics and different usages in painting, thus cultivating their ability to think and work independently. This is the positive guidance brought by parents' positive encouragement attitude and artistic edification in family aesthetic education.

In Germany, for example, most German children learn piano from their parents. According to relevant statistics, one in four Germans can skillfully play a musical instrument or master vocal skills. Parents' words and deeds will exert a subtle influence on children. When parents and guests talk about music works with relish, when they play their favorite musical instruments, and when they lead their children to attend concerts, children's love for art arises. I think this kind of education in Germany is much more brilliant. They have successfully created a family environment that can make children feel the beauty of music, so as to promote their desire to participate in it and stimulate their interest in learning music. This is much more effective than some parents oppressing their children to study hard with sticks. It is better for Germans to make good use of the power of art and optimize their children's growth path than to say that Germans are good at cultivating the competitiveness of the next generation.

Family aesthetic education: as the name implies, it is "the education of beauty given by the family"

Family aesthetic education runs through every bit of life, with food, clothing, housing and transportation. The cultivation of family aesthetic education is inseparable from family and life, and the material environment and spiritual atmosphere are all part of aesthetic education.

how to give beauty education in family life?

Many parents will say that I can neither draw nor play musical instruments nor dance. How can I raise my children and give them an education in beauty? Can it only be sent to training institutions? If children are interested, they can be given to more professional teachers for enlightenment education, but aesthetic education not only refers to artistic activities such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also includes aesthetic education in daily details of life.

"beautiful space"

"beautiful food"

I have a hobby of going to the kitchen, arranging flowers and painting. I will pour my love into my family's three meals a day, from the nutrition collocation to the selection of utensils, to the design of setting dishes and the decoration of table flowers. On the weekends of leisure, I always make a little care for my lover, so I have a record of these food photos. We love to eat, not only for the sake of food. I often call myself going to the kitchen like this the aesthetics of the dining table at home, and beauty can also be transmitted from three meals a day. And I am also studying nutrition and nutrition catering. I hope that the dining table at home can be full of ritual and nutritious and healthy, because I love my family.

"beautiful utensils"

We use utensils that are no longer just practical. I will also make great efforts in the selection of utensils. Needless to say, the utensils are beautiful. I prefer hand-made utensils to those plates that are usually made of bone China. I love hand-made utensils because they have the soul, temperature and love of hand-made people ... I like the simple hand-kneading process and the simplicity of returning to nature.

"Beautiful Flower Arrangement"

As for flower arrangement, I think the flower path needs formal learning, but the daily flower arrangement I understand is a habit and daily life. I especially love the harsh form in the flower path of Chifang and the beauty of the natural posture presented by the vegetation.

I want to talk about the subtle influence of family members in family aesthetic education. Inspired by my weekly flowers, when I am not at home every Monday, my lover will take the initiative to arrange flowers. I am a little gratified because we influence each other on beautiful things.

"Beautiful painting"

My lover's painting and mine, when they are free, they enjoy quiet time and experience the happiness between one painting and another.

"Beautiful Reading Time"

With the development of mobile multimedia in modern life, it seems that mobile phones occupy most of our fragmented time. Compared with books, we seem to rely more on electronic products such as mobile phones, computers and IPAD. I hope we can spend more time reading books, systematically absorb some essence, and take our own children to read picture books together in the future.

"Beautiful Travel"

Apart from all kinds of experiences at home, taking children to exhibitions, concerts and trips is also the easiest choice for family aesthetic education to go out. Parents are also in the company, asking questions together about the origin of those beauties.

"Beautiful Festival"

Small festivals can be beautiful opportunities, unconventional layout, DIY is the best parent-child time, blowing balloons together, and tying the Christmas tree together. The feeling of beauty lies in making it by hand, and the education of beauty comes slowly through choice and appreciation.

all these beautiful things are the transmission of beauty.

Ron Feder, an American educator, told us that the purpose of art education is to make people more creative in the creative process, no matter where this creativity will be used. If a child grows up and gains higher creativity through his aesthetic experience, the purpose of art education will be achieved.

The same is true of family and aesthetic education. It's not obvious, it's not utilitarian, and it's not deliberate. In the parent-child time, slowly give children a special gift, so that they have eyes and hearts that know how to see beauty and appreciate beauty.

Keep telling yourself in your life: Please plant "beauty" in your heart and your lover's heart first, so as to give your children a better future in your family.
