Practice of Contemporary Dance Education under the Visual Threshold of Modern Chinese Aesthetic Education—Starting from “Aesthetic Education Brochure”

Schiller’s aesthetic thought has always been a link and important presence in the development of German classical aesthetics. He not only critically inherited Kant’s aesthetic thought to discuss beauty with subjective and rational empiricism, but also inspired Schelling, Hegel and other western aesthetic masters to understand beauty; In addition, his thought of “aesthetic education” was founded for the first time when Western aesthetics was in the ascendant. As Chinese esthetician Zhou Xian states in his introduction, “The pursuit of this complete humanity is the most powerful appeal of the Book.” Mr. Schiller uses literary forms and aesthetic thoughts to silently fight against the tyranny and exploitation of feudalism and capitalist society. This strong anti-authoritarian aesthetic criticism of modernity is more interpreted and expected in his 27 letters to the Prince of Denmark. With the idea of “art instead of religion”, he tried to establish a new form of communication based on communication rationality that could be realized in the future aesthetic country, and gradually constructed Schiller’s aesthetic “utopia”. Based on this, it is particularly important to sort out the generation of aesthetic education thought in modern China and peek into the practice of contemporary dance education.

Music education curriculum design based on the adjustment of college students’ mental health

Music aesthetic education can affect people’s emotions through hearing, thereby directly affecting their hearts, sublimating their emotions, and eventually purifying their hearts. Music can enrich college students’ imagination and also make them fully relaxed, thereby making their personality livelier and more cheerful and enabling them to better complete their learning tasks. This study proposes a curriculum design of music education based on the research on the regulating effect of music education on college students’ mental health (MH). Results indicated that music aesthetic appreciation has evident intervention effect on the overall level of MH and interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety, and terror of the experimental group. Accordingly, the curriculum of music education in colleges and universities runs through the appreciation of classic classics with a vertical line of music historical development. Hence, students are able to appreciate popular songs and also understand the musical styles and aesthetic orientations in certain stages of music development. Therefore, the proposed music education course takes the adjustment of college students’ MH as the guiding ideology, emphasizes the main position of students’ MH, encourages students to actively construct knowledge, strengthens cooperation and communication, and better completes teaching tasks.

An Introduction to the Innovative Path and Exploration of the Teaching Reform of Ethnic Vocal Music

Abstract With the continuous development of literature and art, vocal education, as an important part of aesthetic education, has also been developed unprecedentedly. This paper constructs a music emotion recognition model based on deep learning and the Lstm network. The preprocessing of music is accomplished through the methods of pre-emphasis, frame-splitting, and windowing so as to improve the purity of the music signal. Using the Mel frequency cepstrum coefficient and cochlear frequency, the music analog signal is converted into frequency features so as to better distinguish the acoustic features and combined with Word2vec to realize the extraction of music emotion features. By comparing the Lstm music emotion recognition model with other models, the performance of this paper’s model is verified in terms of classification accuracy. To understand the role of its embodiment, the music recognition model is applied to the teaching of ethnic music. The results show that the average fitness of Lstm music recognition is 75%-90% with the increase of the number of evolutions, and the average fitness of Lstm objective function reaches the peak at the number of iterations of 40, with a fitness of 95%. Under the music recognition model, the students’ spectrum is elevated to 0db above the reference line, and the amplitude mostly floats in the interval in (-3, -15), and the teacher can formulate appropriate ethnic vocal music teaching for the students’ spectrum.

An Analysis of New Medias Appreciation of Ugliness Anti-Performance and Anti-Authority in Postmodern Contexts

In the era of information virtualization, entertainment expression has become the ideological tendency of public discourse. Under the dual drive of technical support and market interests, the appreciation of ugliness has been transformed into individual alienation and emotional behaviour, rebelling against the traditional concept of beauty in cognition and forming a popular and spreading trend of network with grotesqueness, ugliness, and specialisation as symbols. This paper will combine psychological and sociological theories, take the popularity of Nikocado Avocado on YouTube as an example, explore the root causes of the proliferation of ugliness appreciation in todays new media, and further propose ways to purify the social aesthetic environment. Through this study, it was found that the essential reasons are as follows: First, the anti-authority and anti-elite cultural atmosphere formed in the post-modern context makes people more willing to deconstruct beautiful things and oppose traditional mainstream aesthetics; Second, personal jealousy produces subconscious confrontation against beautiful things; third, in order to attract the flow brought by new media and satisfy economic interests, ugliness is performed. To solve this problem, the government needs to play an important role in the media and strengthen the auditing of Internet content. At the same time, relevant departments should disseminate correct aesthetic concepts in society and strengthen the aesthetic education of teenagers.

Педагогічні можливості мистецтва хореографії у творчому розвитку підлітків

The article deals with pedagogical methods that ensure the creative development of adolescent students through the art of choreography. The importance of the art of dance in working with a children's choreographic group is determined. The article notes that the modern world is characterised by a focus on digitalisation and automation, but art classes allow you to experience personal emotions, which is important for modern students to feel and understand the beauty of the work done and transform its energy into creative achievements. The main problem of our research is to study the methodological and theoretical system of prominent Ukrainian choreographic teachers and the use of effective methods in the creative activity of future choreographic art specialists. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the pedagogical possibilities of choreographic art in the creative development of adolescent students in the study of classical, folk and contemporary dance. The determining condition for success in creativity is systematic, hard work that requires mobilisation of spiritual forces and maximum concentration. The harmonious combination of dance and pantomime, music and poetry, plasticity of movements and drama of a literary work into a single whole is an important factor for the aesthetic education of the individual, his or her creative development and value attitude to reality. The authors note that in recent years, the relevant disciplines have been increasingly introduced into educational institutions, performing a number of functions, namely: educational, cognitive, creative dialogue and co-creation, which significantly affects adolescents, increases their self-esteem, and promotes the need for self-development. It has been established that the art of dance is an integral part of the culture of the Ukrainian people, and Ukrainian choreographic art has its own powerful, original voice in the world of culture and art. The pedagogical innovations of our choreographers are widely known outside Ukraine, and they are known and respected in the world. The article highlights the pedagogical methods successfully used by contemporary teachers Radu Poklitaru, Larysa Tsvetkova and others in their work. These include methods of individual approach to each student, improvisation and experimentation, use of multimedia technologies, trainings, business games, situational tasks, master classes, problem-based learning, and creative forms of work (combinations, sketches). The experience of well-known teachers has shown that the art of choreography opens up a wide scope for the development of the creative potential of the individual, allows to introduce creative elements into dance education and upbringing along with performance practice.

Biographical Approach to Aesthetic Education of Primary School Children

The relevance of the research is determined by the increased interest in the use of biographical materials (biographical References, memoirs, fragments from popular science non-fic- tion books, various forms of visual aids – reproductions of portraiture, photographs, videos) in literary reading lessons as well as by the fact that the methods of how to teach writers’ biographies in primary school are not fully developed. The purpose of the article is to examine characteristic features of the biographical approach to aesthetic education of primary school children and to determine the role of writers’ biographies in the system of aesthetic education. The analysis of the scientific and educational sources has shown that currently many educational systems (for example, “School of Dialogue”, “Perspective”) use fragments of biographies that are on the pag- es of textbooks on literary reading. However, teacher’s books usually include a brief indication: “A story about a writer” – and rarely contain ready-made biographical entries. To help the teacher and the student, various demonstration materials and reference manuals are published providing information mainly about writers’ appearance, chronology of their life and work, however, they fail to show them as “living people”. Such materials have education value, but they are not able to evoke an emotional response in a young reader. They do not take into account the age characteristics of primary school children and the specifics of literary reading lessons. Extensive media content contains useful, aesthetically significant as well as negative information. This research has developed criteria to select and organize biographical material for a literary reading lesson; additionally, it has defined pedagogical conditions necessary for the aesthetic impact of biographies on a younger student.

The Rationale of Physical Education and Aesthetics in the Context of Big Data and the Value and Significance of its Implementation in Colleges and Universities

Abstract This paper first takes the deep learning theory as the basis of the thesis of sports and aesthetic education, constructs the flipped classroom teaching model of sports and aesthetic education based on the theory, and introduces the Bayesian estimation theory and the structural equation model to apply it to sports and aesthetic education. Secondly, the research object and method are selected for the flipped classroom teaching model of physical education and aesthetic education, and the teaching process of the flipped classroom experiment and the assumptions related to students’ learning satisfaction are given. Finally, the application value of physical education and aesthetics in colleges and universities is analyzed through the convergence of path coefficients in Bayesian structural equation modeling and hypothesis testing. When the number of iterations reaches 100*103 times, the H6-H11 path coefficient convergence value interval is [-22.5, 14.2]. The convergence interval fluctuates a lot and shows a more unstable trend than the H1-H5 path coefficient. Students learning satisfaction will have a direct effect on their aesthetic ability and improve their aesthetic awareness, and the path coefficients are 0.629 and 0.524, respectively. Deep learning theory based on sports and aesthetics in colleges and universities under the background of big data can improve students’ learning satisfaction and then promote the enhancement of students’ aesthetic ability and aesthetic awareness.

Cultural education of children and teenagers and the challenges ahead of cultural institutions

Development of talents and competence in the contemporary culture and aesthetic education of children and adolescents occupy a special place in the educational research of the twenty-first century. Recommendations for how to best shape these competence from early childhood have become a driving force behind the designing and implementation of various educational initiatives at schools and in non-formal educational settings. In the difficult time of the new pandemic (2020), activities aimed at developing social skills in young audiences have become particularly relevant. Even though, due to spreading restrictions, these were mostly transferred to the Internet, many cultural institutions have tried to re-establish and maintain effective relationship with their audiences. Recent years have shown how important it has become to build relationship and develop social skills in direct contact with culture, art and other people. In their research analyses, the authors of this paper have focused primarily on the programs of leisure activities addressed to children and adolescents. The research involved the analysis of the websites of selected cultural institutions (programs), educational websites (reviews) and community portals (comments), with a particular emphasis on the competition for the most development-enhancing initiative for children. Data were also obtained via interviews with program organizers. Analysis of cultural institutions’ programs show their involvement in the cultural education of children and youth. Non-formal education in cultural institutions is focused on the development of creativity and cultural and social competence.

The Value and Realization of Choral Conducting Talent Cultivation for Music Teachers in the Context of Deep Learning

Abstract Focusing on virtual chorus, this paper analyzes the training process of VR technology and music choral conductor talents. After the construction of the online data platform, the image splicing, image alignment and image fusion algorithms of VR technology are integrated with the Harris corner detection improvement algorithm to realize the virtual chorus in the context of deep learning. The influence of family support and school aesthetic education on various dimensions of psychological needs for talent cultivation was modeled using structural equation modeling. Based on the data of music teachers using VR technology, mediated effect analysis and total effect analysis were conducted to analyze the factors influencing the use of imagery with VR technology. ANOVA was utilized to compare the data on the four dimensions of rhythmic memory, pitch, melodic memory, and listening ability to verify the effectiveness of VR technology on music teachers’ talent cultivation. The total effect analysis showed that the order of the influence of each influencing factor on the intention to use was 0.361>social influence 0.263>perceived usefulness 0.263>perceived ease of use 0.251>computer self-efficacy 0.169>convenience conditions 0.162>job relevance 0.134>simulation 0.075.
