在線上教授藝術(shù)課是一個(gè)嶄新的體驗(yàn)。聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)各式各樣的網(wǎng)課有好幾年了;沒(méi)想到現(xiàn)在，我們?cè)缟习它c(diǎn)就打開(kāi)電腦，準(zhǔn)時(shí)登陸網(wǎng)課，拿著畫(huà)筆和紙來(lái)開(kāi)始新的一天。早上畫(huà)畫(huà)對(duì)我們大腦的創(chuàng)造力非常好，也會(huì)使我們過(guò)更輕松愉快的一天。我看到學(xué)生們上課都感到很興奮，因?yàn)橛惺裁幢犬?huà)出傳神的山水風(fēng)景畫(huà)更美好?我們從2020年新的一年開(kāi)始，練習(xí)畫(huà)一些簡(jiǎn)單的概念，例如畫(huà)山脈、冰川、流水和云朵。這些概念對(duì)于構(gòu)成美麗的背景或風(fēng)景將在這學(xué)期稍后的課程非常重要。我們正在為繪畫(huà)技術(shù)打好基礎(chǔ)、建立信心、并探索更困難的概念，例如透視法、深度和色彩調(diào)和。
Teaching art online is a new experience. For a few years we have heard about many different courses online; now serendipitously we are logging on our computers at eight in the morning and beginning the day with pencils and papers ready to draw. Drawing in the morning helps our creative brain and makes the day more joyous and relaxed. I see the excitement in the students because what is more beautiful than painting expressive landscapes? We started this new year 2020 practicing simple ideas like drawing mountains, glaciers, flowing rivers, and fluffy clouds. These concepts are important to develop- a beautiful background or landscape which will be important later this year. We are building up our base of skills, confidence and exploring more difficult ideas like perspective, depth, and color harmony.

我較喜歡使用Photoshop進(jìn)行線上授課，因?yàn)槲铱梢砸贿叜?huà)畫(huà)，一邊在屏幕共享圖像，在屏幕上快速地展示各式各樣我畫(huà)的東西，能讓學(xué)生更專(zhuān)注上課。這種互動(dòng)式的線上課堂使學(xué)生親眼目睹一張白紙變成一幅栩栩如生的風(fēng)景畫(huà)的過(guò)程。這也表示有時(shí)候我們只要花20分鐘的注意力在一幅畫(huà)上，就可以制作出一份精美的藝術(shù)品了。
I prefer to lead the class exercises with Photoshop because I am able to draw while I share my screen and show images, write on the screen and show many aspects very fast that keep the students engaged. These interactive virtual lessons are allowing students to see the transformation from a blank piece of paper to a landscape that has depth and expression. It’s also showing that sometimes all we need to do is focus on a drawing for 20 minutes and we can create a small artwork gift.

我平常喜歡用水彩和畫(huà)筆用具畫(huà)畫(huà)，但是限制于在線教學(xué)，我們只能用一般的紙、彩色鉛筆和一些馬克筆。但是，這讓同學(xué)們學(xué)會(huì)克服挑戰(zhàn)，知道要掌握基本的技巧才能在有限的工具下創(chuàng)造出自己想畫(huà)的東西。目前為止，大家已經(jīng)會(huì)手繪各色各樣的質(zhì)感、圖樣和混色配搭了。
I would typically prefer to draw and paint with watercolors and real art materials but since we are restricted to online teaching we are also limited to regular paper, colored pencils and some markers. However, this is allowing our class to embrace the challenge of discovering the essential techniques needed for a student to create anything they want with available tools. So far, we can see a broad range of expressive textures, patterns and mixing color combinations.

在有趣愉快的主題上，我們練習(xí)和學(xué)習(xí)控制線條、形狀和顏色運(yùn)用，并從中知道大家能發(fā)揮潛能利用幾支鉛筆就能創(chuàng)作出很多東西。事實(shí)上，藝術(shù)是越簡(jiǎn)單，真實(shí)，越美好。孩子的畫(huà)能讓作為大人的我們帶來(lái)驚喜和感動(dòng)。因此，我們認(rèn)為培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的藝術(shù)教育和鼓勵(lì)創(chuàng)作實(shí)踐是非常重要的。我很期待之后與學(xué)生們以團(tuán)隊(duì)合作，并在校園里共同創(chuàng)造漂亮的作品。
By practicing and learning to control line, shape and color on a pleasant subject, we can start to realize that we have the potential to create a lot with just a few pencils. The fact is that art is better when it is simple and true. A child’s drawing can surprise many of us and touch our hearts. That is why we think it’s important to engage our students in their development of a discipline and art practice. I am looking forward to working with students as a team and creating beautiful works together on campus.

TWIS的小學(xué)生總是期待線上的視覺(jué)藝術(shù)課，因?yàn)檫@是他們可以創(chuàng)作和盡情享受畫(huà)畫(huà)樂(lè)趣的時(shí)刻。開(kāi)始上課時(shí)，學(xué)生們常常大聲喊著“Wendy老師，我們今天要畫(huà)什么?”。他們?cè)诖笄逶?點(diǎn)總是精力充沛，干勁十足的!
PYP students of TWIS always look forward to the virtual visual art class because it is a time to create and have fun with art. Often the class starts with students asking out loud “Ms. Wendy! What are we going to draw today?”. Their energy at 8 am early in the morning is contagious!

美術(shù)課在TWIS在線課堂仍然是所有學(xué)生重要的一個(gè)學(xué)科，因?yàn)樗寣W(xué)生們以視覺(jué)形式表達(dá)自己和學(xué)會(huì)以完美的方式工作。我們應(yīng)好好利用這個(gè)特殊時(shí)期，因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在大家所創(chuàng)造的將會(huì)是我們?nèi)松凶钪档眉o(jì)念和最有意義的藝術(shù)品。
The art class remains an important subject to all students in TWIS Virtual School because it allows them to express themselves in visual forms and master the ideal way of doing things. We should take advantage of this special moment as what we are creating now will last as the most memorable and meaningful work for the rest of our lives.
讓學(xué)生能夠找到學(xué)科之間的聯(lián)系性有助他們吸收知識(shí)。在部分PYP藝術(shù)課堂，我們把藝術(shù)融合到班主任老師的單元學(xué)習(xí)(UOI)，制作配合UOI主題的藝術(shù)作品。根據(jù)他們學(xué)習(xí)的單元，學(xué)生在美術(shù)課創(chuàng)作出來(lái)的作品，將會(huì)是單元課上簡(jiǎn)報(bào)的一部分。
Students learn best if they are able to find the transdisciplinary connections between all subjects. For some of the PYP art classes, we are making artworks that can be integrated into Homeroom UOI. According to the unit they are inquiring, artworks created in the art class will be used as part of their presentation during UOI lessons.
一年級(jí)的學(xué)生正在制作一個(gè)太陽(yáng)系的立體模型，這有助鞏固他們從單元課學(xué)習(xí)的東西，并同時(shí)讓他們認(rèn)識(shí)新的藝術(shù)概念和元素。他們將利用不同紋理、圖紋和顏色制作出多個(gè)立體的星球。除了老師，家長(zhǎng)也扮演了很重要的角色，在家里引導(dǎo)他們的孩子，和他們攜手合作制作出色的作品。
Grade 1 students are working on a solar system diorama which helps reinforce what they have learned from UOI lessons as well as enables them to understand new concepts and elements of art. They will be creating 3-dimensional planets with textures, patterns and colours. Parents are also actively participating in the process, they are working together with children during the online classes to practice arts and craft-making skills. Besides the teacher, parents played an important role to guide their child at home and to work hand-in-hand with them as a team to create some awesome works.
二年級(jí)學(xué)生正在了解對(duì)人、地方與內(nèi)心空間的認(rèn)識(shí)。為了建立一個(gè)有愛(ài)心的社會(huì)，這個(gè)課題是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生正確的價(jià)值觀和生活態(tài)度。他們要懂得尊重他人、包容多樣性、和了解不同種族、民族和宗教信仰的人。
Grade 2 students are currently learning about people, places and inner spaces. This is a topic to help students develop positive values and attitudes towards life in order to foster a caring society. They learn the importance of respecting others, embracing diversity, and gaining the understanding of people of different races, nationalities, and religious faiths.
學(xué)會(huì)觀察我們周?chē)拿婵缀偷胤綄?duì)繪畫(huà)是至關(guān)重要的。在這個(gè)單元中，學(xué)生將學(xué)習(xí)如何按比例畫(huà)人像，和使用色調(diào)和深淺顏色來(lái)畫(huà)出光線與陰影。他們?cè)谒囆g(shù)課上學(xué)到的技能將有助他們完成UOI的專(zhuān)題報(bào)告，他們需要以農(nóng)村和城市社區(qū)的人物創(chuàng)作一本繪本。
To become more aware of faces and places around us is essential to drawing. In this unit, students will learn how to draw people in proportion and illustrate lights and shadows with tones and values. The skills they have learned in art lessons will help them to work on their UOI project of bookmaking in which they have to draw a story with characters in rural and urban communities.
Grade 5 students expressed their desire to explore drawing in their own way, so the new unit was developed based on their interest. They were introduced to the power of illustration through the book of The Red Tree by Shaun Tan. The character's sad world and loneliness are illustrated with dark and gloomy illustrations. The picture book inspired students a lot as it tells a story with complex emotions that they deeply connected with. They are now composing a sequence of images to convey a story by using new skills of compositions. Learning composition allows students to find focus and draw people's eyes to that part when they are creating a visual piece.
經(jīng)歷過(guò)幾個(gè)月的在線學(xué)習(xí)后，我們的學(xué)生漸漸培養(yǎng)出獨(dú)立性和責(zé)任感等不同的優(yōu)秀品質(zhì)。能夠看著學(xué)生們變成一群充滿愛(ài)心的學(xué)習(xí)者，真的讓我驚嘆。盡管大家遙遠(yuǎn)相隔，學(xué)生在網(wǎng)課時(shí)也表現(xiàn)出同理心并互相幫助。從傳統(tǒng)課堂學(xué)習(xí)轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)樵诩覍W(xué)習(xí)，讓老師和家長(zhǎng)能夠見(jiàn)證學(xué)生的成長(zhǎng)!
Throughout these few months of online learning, our students have developed different qualities such as independence and responsibility. It is also amazing to witness how students have become a caring community of learners. Even though they are separated by distance, students show empathy and help each other during virtual classes. The transition of learning from home has enabled teachers and parents to see our students shine!
