视频里，老师正在讲授荷兰画家蒙德里安的名作《红、黄、蓝的构成》，从艺术特点到背后的故事，无不细致。屏幕前的白莉听得如痴如醉。“特别有感触，一下就喜欢上了。”从未接触过油画的白莉被这张作品深深打动，从此不可自拔，开始学习油画。

这是国家开放大学唐应山在线油画公社（以下简称在线油画公社）基础班的第一堂课。上百名油画零基础的学员就是从这堂课开始，踏进油画学习的大门。

随着物质文化生活水平的提升，大众的美育需求愈发强烈。艺术教育不仅是儿童、青少年全面发展的需要，也受到成年人青睐。成年人生活节奏快、学习时间碎片化，线上课程成为他们走近艺术的一种选择。

线上学习灵活便捷

白莉之所以被《红、黄、蓝的构成》打动，与其工作经历不无关系。从河南省科学院退休的她，从事化学比色分析研究，20多年都在跟红、黄、蓝三原色打交道。白莉从小就对绘画很有兴趣，只是年轻的时候没有机会学习。2020年新冠肺炎疫情暴发，白莉琢磨着在家里能学点儿什么。偶然一天，一条消息引起了她的注意——“人人都能画出世界名画”。“我原本很畏惧油画，觉得太高深了，但这句话很打动我。人人都能，我也试试。”白莉说。

同样被这句话吸引的，还有来自广西桂林的山林。“我喜欢生活中美的事物，但只在小学阶段上过简单的美术课，从没接触过油画，可以说是真正的油画‘小白’。”山林告诉记者，自己当时只是抱着试一试的想法报名，没想到一学就坚持到了现在，目前在线学习已经有17个月。

山林把学习油画的时间安排在工作之余，比如午休的时候看看教学视频，下班后临摹作品，有时候会在晚上创作，一不留神就画到凌晨了。“线上学画时间灵活，教学视频还可以反复观看，让我工作生活学习三不误。”山林表示，在线课程不仅价格实惠，还有美术院校的专业教师指导。

新冠肺炎疫情的出现，让线上学习需求明显增长，催生了内容多元的线上艺术课程。在线油画公社便是其中一例。自成立以来，在线油画公社已经陆续推出“向大师致敬——莫奈”“人人都能画出世界名画”“零基础油画课”等系列课程，截至2022年1月，注册学员已达3.6万余人。他们不仅来自两岸暨港澳，还包括美国、英国、加拿大、澳大利亚、瑞士、日本、马来西亚、肯尼亚等国家的学员。

课程设置别有不同

艺术创作是实践性非常强的活动，但线上艺术教育不能当面授课、及时互动，其课程设置有何特别之处？学员中既有上班族，也有退休人员，年龄跨度大，普及性美育的目标如何达成？这些问题都考验着从业者的智慧。

白莉和山林都清楚地记得，基础班的学习是从临摹世界名画开始的。梵高的《星月夜》《向日葵》《杏花》、莫奈的《干草垛》等经典作品，都是他们临摹的对象。“老师说，临摹是一种非常快捷的进入方式，先看大师是怎么构思、怎么创作的。”白莉说。

“大师之所以成为大师，肯定包括两个最基本的要素，第一是他们高超的绘画技艺，第二是他们的绘画创新精神，而且这种创新精神又被后世所认可。我们学习大师的作品，就是站在巨人的肩膀上学习。”国家开放大学教授、在线油画公社主持教师唐应山如是说。

“在几十年的美术教学实践中，我们发现每个人都有绘画潜能，尤其是在色彩方面。”江西科技师范大学美术学院教授肖飞，主要负责在线油画公社进阶班的教学工作。他告诉记者，“零基础画世界名画”中的世界名画，专指印象派时期的作品。印象派特别重视色彩的绚烂和丰富性的表现，弱化了对造型的要求。“我们不是要教授大家如何画出印象派大师的作品，而是通过分析、引导和实践，培养大家学会用画家的眼睛来观察并表达世界。”肖飞说。

这样的课程设置加之作品点评、学员交流等线上互动，学员容易接受且成长较快。山林大约在临摹半年后开始尝试创作，目前完成的50幅油画作品中，有20多幅是个人创作。而白莉在一年的基础班学习后，又报名参加了进阶班。

艺术点亮平凡生活

在山林看来，从临摹进入创作并不是一件容易的事情。“因为创作需要自主进行整体布局，从构图及色彩的搭配，到考虑画面的和谐统一等。”山林说，有时候也会觉得头疼，不过这些困惑都在作品完成的那一刻得到消解。

白莉也感到临摹和创作有很大不同。“不管是写生还是对着照片准写生，都让我明白创作是需要带着感情的。”白莉说。今年春节期间，老师给大家布置了一道作业：画一幅体现家人团聚的作品。白莉想到了自己远在海外的孩子，因疫情阻隔无法团聚。“我就画了一张孙子在海边玩耍的画，取名《大洋彼岸的思念》。因为我想对孙子说，海的另一边就是爷爷奶奶呀。”白莉说。

如今，白莉即将从在线油画公社进阶班结业。第二届国家开放大学在线油画教学成果展也计划于5月在北京举办，参展作品就来自进阶班的45位学员。白莉的参展作品已经选定，那是依照她去年在西藏自驾游的所见所闻而作。“学习油画最大的收获就是快乐。”白莉告诉记者，画画让她忘记了年龄，每天过得很开心，生活充满了活力。

而去年底就已结业的山林，所在的班级微信群依然活跃。“我们相互鼓励，很多人都还在继续自主学习。大家希望能够坚持5年、10年，一直画下去。”山林说，学习油画让她拥有了一双发现美的眼睛，现在，她在家庭布置、服饰打扮上都有了新的认识，人生因此变得充满诗意。“油画世界就是我心中的星辰大海。”

日益增长的文化需求，推动社会公共美育服务进一步向前发展。互联网将这种文化服务更加便捷地推送到广大群众身边。期待有更多内容和形式上的探索与创新，让美育惠及更多人，让美的创造常伴左右。（记者 赖睿）

In the video of Tang Yingshan's teaching course (pictures provided by the respondents), the teacher is teaching the composition of red, yellow and blue, a famous work by Dutch painter Mondrian, which is detailed from the artistic characteristics to the story behind it. Bai Li in front of the screen was fascinated. "I have a special feeling. I like it at once." Bai Li, who had never been in contact with oil painting, was deeply moved by this work. From then on, she couldn't extricate herself and began to learn oil painting. This is the first class of the basic class of Tang Yingshan online oil painting commune (hereinafter referred to as online oil painting commune) of the National Open University. Hundreds of oil painting zero foundation students started from this class and stepped into the door of oil painting learning. With the improvement of people's material and cultural needs, aesthetic education becomes more and more intense. Art education is not only the need for the all-round development of children and adolescents, but also favored by adults. Adults have a fast pace of life and fragmented learning time. Online courses have become a choice for them to approach art. Online learning is flexible and convenient. Bai Li was moved by the composition of red, yellow and blue, which has something to do with her work experience. Retired from Henan Academy of Sciences, she has been engaged in chemical colorimetric analysis and has been dealing with the three primary colors of red, yellow and blue for more than 20 years. Bai Li was very interested in painting since she was a child, but she didn't have a chance to learn when she was young. In 2020, when the COVID-19 broke out, Bai Li wondered what she could learn at home. One day, a message caught her attention - "everyone can draw world famous paintings". "I was afraid of oil painting and thought it was too advanced, but this sentence moved me. Everyone can, and I'll try it." Said Bailey. Also attracted by this sentence are the mountains and forests from Guilin, Guangxi. "I like things in China and the United States, but I only took a simple art class in primary school and never came into contact with oil painting. It can be said to be a real oil painting 'Xiaobai'." Shanlin told reporters that he just signed up with the idea of trying. He didn't expect to stick to it as soon as he studied. At present, online learning has been 17 months. Shanlin arranges the time to study oil painting after work, such as watching teaching videos during lunch break, copying works after work, sometimes creating in the evening and painting until the early morning. "The time for online painting learning is flexible, and the teaching video can be watched repeatedly, so that I can make no mistake in my work, life and study." Shanlin said that online courses are not only affordable, but also guided by professional teachers in art colleges. The emergence of the COVID-19 epidemic has significantly increased the demand for online learning, giving birth to online art courses with diverse contents. Online oil painting commune is one example. Since its establishment, the online oil painting commune has successively launched a series of courses such as "salute to the master Monet", "everyone can draw world famous paintings" and "zero basic oil painting course". As of January 2022, more than 36000 students have registered. They are not only from both sides of the Strait and Hong Kong and Macao, but also from the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Japan, Malaysia, Kenya and other countries. Xiao Fei's online tutoring (picture provided by the interviewee) curriculum is different. Art creation is a very practical activity, but online art education can't teach face-to-face and interact in time. What's special about its curriculum? There are both office workers and retirees among the students. With a large age span, how can the goal of universal aesthetic education be achieved? These questions test the wisdom of practitioners. Bai Li and Shan Lin clearly remember that the study of the basic class began with copying world famous paintings. Van Gogh's "starry moon night", "sunflower", "apricot flower", Monet's "haystack" and other classic works are the objects they copy. "The teacher said that copying is a very fast way to enter. First, let's see how the master conceives and creates." Said Bailey. "The reason why masters become masters must include two basic elements. The first is their superb painting skills and the second is their innovative spirit of painting, which is recognized by future generations. When we study masters' works, we stand on the shoulders of giants." Tang Yingshan, Professor of the National Open University and host teacher of the online oil painting commune, said. "In decades of art teaching practice, we found that everyone has painting potential, especially in color." Xiao Fei, a professor at the Academy of fine arts of Jiangxi Normal University of science and technology, is mainly responsible for the teaching of advanced classes of online oil painting commune. He told reporters that the world famous paintings in the "zero foundation painting world famous paintings" refer specifically to the works of the Impressionist period. Impressionists pay special attention to the gorgeous and rich expression of color, weakening the requirements for modeling. "We don't want to teach you how to draw the works of Impressionist masters, but to train you to learn to observe and express the world with the artist's eyes through analysis, guidance and practice." Xiao Fei said. Such courses, together with online interactions such as work reviews and student exchanges, are easy for students to accept and grow rapidly. Shanlin began to try to create about half a year after copying. At present, more than 20 of the 50 oil paintings completed are personal creations. Bai Li signed up for the advanced class after studying in the basic class for one year. Bai Li's art of outdoor sketching (photo provided by the interviewee) lights up ordinary life. In the view of mountains and forests, it is not easy to enter creation from copying. "Because creation requires independent overall layout, from composition and color matching to considering the harmony and unity of the picture." Shanlin said that sometimes I feel headache, but these puzzles are dispelled at the moment when the work is completed. Bai Li also felt that copying and creation were very different. "Whether it's sketching or quasi sketching in front of photos, it makes me understand that creation needs emotion." Said Bailey. During the Spring Festival this year, the teacher assigned everyone an assignment: draw a work reflecting family reunion. Bai Li thought of her children who were far away from home and could not be reunited because of the epidemic. "I drew a picture of my grandson playing by the sea, named" missing on the other side of the ocean ". Because I want to tell my grandson that there are grandparents on the other side of the sea." Said Bailey. Now, Bai Li is about to graduate from the advanced class of online oil painting commune. The second online oil painting teaching achievement exhibition of the National Open University is also planned to be held in Beijing in May. The participating works are from 45 students of the advanced class. Bai Li's exhibition works have been selected according to what she saw and heard during her self driving tour in Tibet last year. "The biggest gain from studying oil painting is happiness." Bai Li told reporters that painting made her forget her age, live happily every day, and her life was full of vitality. Shanlin, who graduated at the end of last year, is still active in its class wechat group. "We encourage each other, and many people continue to study independently. We hope to stick to it for 5 or 10 years and keep painting." Shanlin said that learning oil painting gave her a pair of eyes to discover beauty. Now, she has a new understanding of family layout and clothing, so her life has become full of poetry. "The world of oil painting is the sea of stars in my heart." The growing cultural demand promotes the further development of social public aesthetic education services. The Internet will push this cultural service to the masses more conveniently. We look forward to more exploration and innovation in content and form, so that aesthetic education can benefit more people and the creation of beauty can always be accompanied.
