试论我国早期学校的美术教育

清朝末年,西学东渐,全国各地纷纷“废科举、兴学堂”,因受西学影响,大小学堂开设了图画手工课,从而开始了中国学校美术教育。早期学校美术教育包括普通学堂、师范学堂及专门美术学校的美术教育,虽属草创,却使系统完整的美术教育体系的形成成为可能。并且,中国近代美术的发展与繁荣,某种意义上说是与中国早期学校美术教育的发展分不开的。

China's Artistic Education Early School

In the late period of Qing Dynasty, imperial examination system was abandoned and lots of modern schools were set up. Influenced by western culture, lots of schools had painting lessons and handworks lessons, which was the origin of China's school artistic education. At that time, the artistic education included: Normal schools, teachers' schools and special artistic education schools. Although the education was just the begginning, it was possible for perfect artistic education system to form. Furthermore, the development and prosperity of early artistic education were closely in relation to the china's early schools' artistic education.
