unit 1 Art Reading 教学设计一、教材分析：本单元是必修六第一单元，以Art为主题, 主要介绍了西方绘画简史，描写了曼哈顿最好的艺术长廊。
文中介绍了西方绘画历史中的四个重要阶段：中世纪，文艺复兴时期，印象主义时期和现代艺术时期。
对于每个阶段文中主要介绍的是不同的绘画手法，绘画特点，以及引起绘画特点转变的社会风俗等原因。
另外，应帮助学生了解更多有关美术的背景知识，分析中西方艺术史上各大流派的特点，指出其代表性的画家和作品，并对中西方绘画艺术进行比较。
二、学生分析:本班为普通高二理科班，刚刚从高一完成跨越。
学生成绩普遍低，学习态度不太端正，学习积极性较高，大部分学生在学习上还存在着依赖性，不愿意自己探究知识，没有好的学习习惯，但是他们却非常活跃，很有激情，教师在学习中进行渗透鼓励与指导。
学生对西方文化艺术非常感兴趣，这也有利于提高他们个人修养与素质。
