Hearing Colors, Painting Melodies — An Innovative Practical Study on Interdisciplinary Teaching Integrating Music and Fine Arts

Abstract

The 2022 Edition of the Compulsory Education Art Curriculum Standards clearly stipulates that art courses shall offer interdisciplinary thematic activities accounting for no less than 10% of the total class hours. Guided by key competencies, interdisciplinary integrated teaching has emerged as a core direction of art education reform. As sister disciplines in the art field, music and fine arts feature natural isomorphism and intercommunication, laying a solid practical foundation for interdisciplinary teaching. Taking primary school fine arts teaching as the carrier, "Autumn" as the theme and Vivaldi's The Four Seasons: Autumn as the teaching entry point, this paper conducts an innovative practical study on music-fine arts integrated interdisciplinary teaching. It sorts out the theoretical basis of music-fine arts integration, designs and implements the interdisciplinary teaching case Autumn Melody, Leaf Painting, and analyzes the key points and difficulties in teaching practice. Ultimately, this research achieves multiple goals: enhancing students' interdisciplinary artistic literacy, optimizing teaching models and promoting teachers' professional development. It also provides theoretical references and practical paradigms for interdisciplinary teaching practice of art disciplines in compulsory education.
