Abstract

Whilst the faculties of literacy and numeracy are rightly recognised as worthy of pedagogical nurturing, this article champions a more venerable articulacy – visualcy – crucial to a healthy culture, arguing that the one domain of human inquiry which distinguishes the visual arts from other disciplines is surely that surrounding the faculty of vision. The ascendency within the contemporary artworld of a relational aesthetics is traced through a brief history of the relationships between visual artforms and their socio-political contexts. It is suggested that the shift of emphasis away from the perceptually intriguing is in part a consequence – perhaps unintended – of the neoliberal values permeating the UK Higher Education sector in the last decade. The article ends with a proposal for a visual arts pedagogy based on five key principles of visualcy explored through the medium of drawing, illustrated with work by the author and students.

视觉在新自由主义艺术学校课程中的首要地位
虽然识字和计算能力被正确地认为是值得教学培养的,但这篇文章捍卫了一种更值得尊敬的表达能力——视觉能力——对健康文化至关重要,认为人类探究的一个领域将视觉艺术与其他学科区分开来,肯定是围绕着视觉能力。关系美学在当代艺术界的优势是通过视觉艺术形式与其社会政治背景之间的关系的简史来追踪的。有人认为,在过去十年中,新自由主义价值观渗透到英国高等教育领域,从感知上吸引人的重点转移,在一定程度上是一个结果——也许是无意的。文章最后提出了一种视觉艺术教学法的建议,该教学法基于通过绘画媒介探索的视觉视觉的五个关键原则,并附有作者和学生的作品。
