Inquiry Teaching of Chinese Traditional Painting Based on Virtual Reality Technology—Take Han Xizai’s Banquet as An Example

Due to its immersion, interactivity and other characteristics, virtual reality technology has been tentatively applied as an auxiliary tool in the field of education. It can change the previous education mode of one-way knowledge output to a certain extent and enhance the autonomy and personalization of teaching. The application of virtual reality technology in Chinese traditional painting teaching is not to bring Chinese painting into reality, but to bring students into the aesthetic thinking of Chinese painting. Through virtual simulation experiment teaching, students can better understand the beauty of Chinese painting. In the teaching method of traditional Chinese painting, the teaching idea of using virtual reality technology lies in the stimulation of individual characteristics based on commonness. With the support of virtual reality learning environment, teachers and students interact in the learning environment through virtual reality equipment and platform, which constitutes the process of teaching and learning. Students are naturally immersed in learning. Teachers use the immersion and scene characteristics of virtual reality technology to lead students into the cultural depth behind Chinese painting images, and use its interactive and imaginative characteristics to explore and try modeling, composition and techniques in observation methods and expression methods. Taking the famous Chinese painting “Han Xizai’s banquet picture” as an example, this paper carries out inquiry teaching combined with virtual reality technology to explore new ideas for the teaching method of Chinese traditional painting, in order to be helpful to the reform of Chinese painting teaching
