Research on the Innovation of Freehand Sketching Teaching Method of Landscape Design Based on New Media

Abstract

New media, which is no stranger to many people, refers to the new media form that appears under the conditions of informationization. With the characteristics of storing and disseminating information, it has distinct and irreplaceable features and advantages. New media has had a long-term and profound impact on people’s work and study. In the field of education, the emergence of new media has provided tremendous opportunities for the transformation of many disciplines. This paper briefly introduces the many characteristics of new media and provides means to innovate freehand sketching teaching methods for landscape design in the new media environment. The term new media can often be seen in the media in recent years, and many people are no longer unfamiliar with this term. But it’s not easy to really clarify the definition of new media. The so-called new media, in a certain sense, refers to the environment in which all things are media. In short, new media more refers to an environment and it covers almost all digital media formats, including traditional networks, online media, mobile media, digital TV newspapers and so on. With rich contents, the new media is a broader concept. As far as the application of new media is concerned, it mainly refers to the use of digital technology, network technology. Through the Internet and terminal devices such as computers, mobile phones, digital TV terminals, etc., it provides information and entertainment services for specific users. Therefore, many people also refer to new media as digital new media. The new media is interactive and timely, and it can spread a massive amount of information in a variety of forms between individuals and communities. With the development of science and technology and the progress of the times, new media has received increasing attention from all walks of life. The continuous prosperity of new media has also aroused widespread concern in the academic world that many scholars have conducted long-term systematic research on the application of new media in education and teaching and made many bold attempts. Overall, very promising results have been achieved, and new media has become a powerful aid in education and teaching. 1. The Characteristics of New Media and its Impact on Traditional Education New media has many advantages that traditional media can’t match. First of all, new media has 2019 International Conference on Arts, Management, Education and Innovation (ICAMEI 2019) Published by CSP © 2019 the Authors 945 novel forms and distinct images. New media is a three-dimensional information dissemination carrier and means of communication that combines a variety of performances such as sound, video, and text. In the process of communication, it displays the rigid text content in a novel and vivid form to the audience through colors, light and shadow, and text interaction. Secondly, the new media can store a wealth of information and display the information in a centralized way. Finally, compared with traditional media, new media is much interactive, which enables new media not only to passively display content but also to achieve peer-to-peer communication and interaction between multiple parties. With these characteristics and advantages, new media have broad application prospects in education and teaching. With the rapid development of new media technologies and the advancement of technology, new media has been widely used at many schools for education and teaching, posing a strong challenge to traditional education and teaching in many aspects. Landscape design freehand sketching is particularly strongly affected as a highly practical course. The new media technology is conducive to transforming the traditional education concept of landscape design freehand sketching, promoting the change of freehand sketching teaching mode, teaching system, teaching content and teaching methods. With the popularity of new media technology in and out of class, the freehand sketching education and teaching methods of landscape design can be continuously improved, which can greatly benefit the implementation of quality education, reducing the burden and stress on students and stimulating students’ interest in learning. All in all, the impact of new media on traditional landscape design freehand sketching can be summarized as follows: 1.1 Promote the transformation of freehand sketching teaching methods in traditional landscape design In the new media environment, students’ initiative can be fully guaranteed. In the new media environment, students are able to participate in cooperative learning. The new media uses a networked platform as a learning tool. On this platform, there are rich learning resources, and students can make full use of the network to collect and organize learning materials. This model breaks the traditional teacher-centered approach to education and teaching and highlights students’ dominant position. At the same time, new media technologies can also help teachers to update their ideas. Nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology, teachers shoulder a special historical mission to cultivate students’ innovative spirit. Thus, teachers themselves must be good at innovation. If teachers lack innovative thinking, then the discipline will lose its soul and motivation. The application of new media technology in education and teaching includes many cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements. To some extent, the landscape design freehand sketching course in the new media environment is a new concept course. Based on information technology and network technology, it has extended to various fields such as communication and multimedia. In order to fully adapt to the teaching under the new media, teachers must integrate and improve their knowledge structure and broaden their horizons, which is a process of self-improvement and self-remodeling for freehand sketching teachers in the landscape design, and it is also a process to improve teachers’ self-innovation ability. This will deeply influence landscape design freehand sketching teachers’ understanding of teaching the freehand landscape sketching course at the ideological level. Thus, it is both an extension of ideological understanding and an experience of practical action. 1.2 Optimize classroom efficiency and improve teaching quality The application of new media can effectively improve effect of using teaching methods to
