C | 长桌前，9岁的边思钰举着刚捏好的黄色“开心怪兽”，眼睛发亮：“它的嘴是歪着笑的！”这是记者近日在西湖区转塘街道长埭村暑期公益艺术体能培训班课堂上看到的情景。从最初1间屋子、6个孩子，到如今累计超千人次在这里拿起画笔、揉捏黏土——17年来，这个传统茶村，靠着美育衍生的文旅、文创，拓宽了增收渠道，实现了产业共富，还成了首批18个“浙江省美育示范村”之一。缘起：教授夫妇和6个孩子的暑假之约2009年，中国美术学院教授李秀勤把工作室搬到了茶山环绕、民风淳朴的长埭村。“要是能让这里的孩子们在家门口接触艺术就好了。”这个念头在李秀勤心里扎了根。2010年暑假，她和同在中国美术学院任教的丈夫郭连训自掏腰包买来教学用具，办起了暑期公益艺术体能培训班（以下简称“艺术班”）。最初，艺术班只来了6个孩子，村民王莲娣的女儿傅王滢就是其中之一。“十几年前进村的艺术家很少，我们不懂艺术，不知道雕塑有什么用。

D | ”王莲娣说，大家当时对“艺术班”没什么概念，但觉得暑假孩子有人带还能学东西，肯定是好事。孩子们坐进教室后，变化悄然发生。

E | 李秀勤手把手教他们绘画、书法，由郭连训上色彩教学课，不追求“画得像”，而是让孩子尽情去感受、去表达。“我女儿画的小鸡还被李老师贴在了墙上，她开心得不得了。

F | ”王莲娣笑着回忆。随着艺术班名气渐长，来的孩子也越来越多。李秀勤还发起“能量传递”展览，展名由村里孩子书写，展出中国美术学院师生与长埭村儿童的作品。

G | 接力：从“一家事”到“全村事”2015年，艺术班从美术、书法拓展至木工、陶艺、国学。

H | 2018年，长埭村入选浙江省未来乡村试点，村委会正式接管艺术班运营，艺术班从“一家事”变“全村事”，驻村雕塑家、书法家等纷纷加入。2021年，李秀勤夫妇将接力棒交给青年艺术家郭李彦如。接手后，郭李彦如有了自己的教学方向：“前辈艺术家以传统绘画和书法为主，我希望孩子们能‘玩起来’。”于是，课堂上有了模拟茶山生态的生态瓶、结合非遗的皮影戏，蝉鸣新芽被揉进作品。美育播下种子，总会在某个节点发芽、成长。傅王滢7岁时参加培训班，跟着李秀勤学了6年，如今成了一名设计师。“没有这段经历，我或许不会走上艺术这条路。”傅王滢说，这份热爱支撑她考取了设计专业。在长埭村，这样的孩子不是个例。“以前村里没人参加艺考，办了艺术班后渐渐有孩子去学艺术了。
