“21世纪的教育:几何学万岁!”这一口号是当前活跃在高新技术最前沿的科学家喊出的。 几何学与自然科学的关系不言而喻,而对于从事造型艺术教育的人对这一口号是不易理解的。虽然他们已在艺术创作和教学中已经有意或无意地应用了几何学,但是并没有从深层上认识到几何学与造型艺术的关系。本人认为1998年美国科学年会的口号反映了现代科学教育思想的取向,并引发了本 “21st Century Education: Long Live Geometry!” This slogan is shouted by scientists who are currently at the forefront of high technology. The relation between geometry and natural science is self-evident, but it is not easy for people who are engaged in plastic arts education to understand this slogan. Although they have applied the geometry intentionally or unintentionally in artistic creation and teaching, they did not realize the relationship between geometry and plastic arts from a deep level. I think that the slogan of the 1998 American Science Conference reflected the orientation of modern science education and triggered the
