NSEFC 選修 6 Unit 1 Art
Reading: A short history of western painting
一、 教學(xué)課型：閱讀課
二、 教材分析
1. 教學(xué)內容（見(jiàn)教材P1-3）
2. 教材處理
本單元涉及的中心話(huà)題是西方繪畫(huà)藝術(shù)的歷史，中西方各種藝術(shù)形式與風(fēng)格，各時(shí)期的著(zhù)名畫(huà)家以及他們的作品，目的在于讓學(xué)生了解繪畫(huà)藝術(shù)及其各個(gè)歷史發(fā)展時(shí)期的不同風(fēng)格，培養他們對藝術(shù)的興趣。
閱讀部分主要介紹西方繪畫(huà)史。文章開(kāi)頭闡述導致藝術(shù)發(fā)展的因素：生活方式和人們的信仰。隨后，文章介紹了主要的西洋繪畫(huà)藝術(shù)流派。中世紀的繪畫(huà)主題主要與宗教有關(guān)；文藝復興時(shí)期，人們的思想和價(jià)值觀(guān)發(fā)生了根本性的變化，繪畫(huà)主題從宗教轉向人與自然，繪畫(huà)手法更為現實(shí)；19世紀晚期，歐洲的工業(yè)化導致了巨大的社會(huì )變革，也使繪畫(huà)風(fēng)格發(fā)生了變化，巴黎出現了印象派畫(huà)家，他們走出家門(mén)，捕捉瞬間作用于物體的光和影，印象派繪畫(huà)一段時(shí)間引起了爭議，但如今被公認為現代藝術(shù)的開(kāi)端；現代藝術(shù)中，無(wú)論是抽象畫(huà)還是現實(shí)畫(huà)，都得益于印象派藝術(shù)的啟發(fā)。
因此，文章閱讀的重點(diǎn)應在于讓學(xué)生了解西方繪畫(huà)藝術(shù)四個(gè)時(shí)期及其特征。
