Very angry, my work was plagiarized. Recently, the "anti-fake" Weibo posted by the painter Xiao Wu (pseudonym) has attracted attention.
According to Chao News, the paintings that Xiao Wu believed to plagiarize his own works were exhibited at the Huzhou Art Museum because they were selected for the 2023 Zhejiang Provincial Primary and Secondary School Students Art Festival Outstanding Works Exhibition. A number of ** sheets provided by Xiao Wu show that many works in the exhibition involve plagiarism. On an online shopping platform, Xiao Wu also found that there were many shops that painted children's paintings, playing advertising slogans such as "Painting children's paintings, a must for high-end participants" and "Art teacher *** painting", and the sales were very good.
In recent years, news of plagiarism and substitution in children's art competitions has appeared repeatedly. Among them, the "boost" power of some parents cannot be ignored. In the comment area of a painting shop, in the face of questions such as "Isn't it meaningful for children to draw by themselves", some people bluntly said: "Being able to win awards is the greatest significance, and some schools value these points." This statement actually reflects the background color of many parents' education concepts.
In reality, in order to dress up their children's resumes and make them have more "comparative advantages" in the competition for higher education, some parents will connive at their children to take shortcuts and "use them" in the original works of others, and some will directly find someone to do it for them, so that their children can easily win various awards without participating.
These practices, which seem to be very efficient, gilded resumes, are actually nothing more than self-deception and poisonous education. Aesthetic education in primary and secondary schools is a process of constantly cultivating the mind and honing basic skills, and participating in the competition is only a display of children's learning achievements, not the whole purpose.
If you put the cart before the horse, only have the game in your eyes, and blindly connive at or even encourage children to plagiarize without a bottom line, it will not only make their skills wasted and unable to learn real skills, but also form an opportunistic thinking inertia, so that they do not distinguish between right and wrong, and their values are distorted. In the long run, such utilitarian education is bound to fail.
The character is already high, and the charm has to be high." Whether you are learning calligraphy or painting, improving your character is the first priority. Primary and secondary schools are often the initial stage of children's art learning, and at this time, it is inevitable to start from imitation and absorb nutrients by copying other people's works.
In the face of the situation that some students cannot distinguish between "borrowing" and "plagiarism", parents and teachers need to strengthen guidance, so that children can learn to respect the achievements of others' artistic creation, and clarify the bottom line of artistic ethics of saying "no" to fraud, instead of developing a bad habit of plagiarism from an early age.
You must know that for children's education, the speculative tricks of patchwork and "copy-paste" will only make them lose their awe of literary and artistic creation, and they will be farther and farther away from real art. Guide them to accumulate skills in the solid practice of one stroke at a time, and participate in the competition with their real skills, so that the sense of achievement they get is more real.
In addition, another important reason why children's art competitions have become the "hardest hit area" of plagiarism is that the organizers are not strict in their control. Although it is more difficult to check the duplication of art works than ** and other text works, this does not mean that the organizer can be exempted from responsibility. Whether it is borrowing image recognition technology to strengthen review, unblocking channels for complaints and reports, or investigating and seriously dealing with works when they are found, it is a necessary measure for the organizer to maintain the credibility of the event and highlight the bottom line.
In short, artistic creation must not be "taken", and counterfeiting cannot be started from a young age. Some primary and secondary school art exhibitions have been reduced to the chaos of "plagiarized achievement exhibitions", which should be taken seriously.
