Hello, I am Yi Yuan. After reading your post, I agree with your opinion, the most teaching methods in China are direct instruction, which I have also experienced. I think your analysis is very good, you summed up the advantages and disadvantages of direct instruction, and you combined your analysis with the topics of your group. Direct instruction really helps students learn the steps and techniques of painting faster. But painting requires ideas, and the result of direct instruction is that everyone’s drawing will be almost the same. After a long time, students will not want to think idea, they will rely on direct instruction and lose creative thinking. You mentioned that as well. Maybe add some interactive activities would be better.
