On Teaching the Curriculum of Urban Landscape Painting in The Field of Chinese Painting

Abstract

The concept of "urban landscape painting" was introduced in 1992, and thirty years have passed since the creation of this theme. This controversial new wave of painting, which has emerged in recent decades, mainly depicts urban life and urban architecture, reflecting the long-standing urbanization process in China and the increasing number of Chinese landscape paintings on urban themes. Throughout the curriculum of Chinese painting in domestic colleges and universities, there is less involvement in the teaching of urban landscapes. This paper focuses on undergraduate students, and from the author's own practice and observation, reflects on the problems in teaching urban landscape today and makes a few suggestions.
