At present, the present situation of art teaching is that many art teachers draw demonstration pictures on the blackboard while teaching, and children imitate them one by one, or teachers teach children to draw or change pictures by hand. This teaching method greatly inhibits children's imagination and creativity, imprisons children's thinking in a framework and completely ignores children's thinking.
-Give wings to children's creative painting-
Children are young, not fully developed physically and psychologically, and have little contact with the outside world, so their thinking, cognition, behavior and movements are "naive", and so are their consciousness, imagination and modeling when drawing. This shows that children's psychological state is closely related to their physiological state in the process of development and growth; And his painting psychology is of course restricted by physiology. And this "naivety" in the eyes of adults is precisely their precious feature.
Psychologists believe that about 70% to 80% of human brain cells are formed before the age of three, and half of the intelligence level is formed before the age of four, which explains the rapid development of children's brains to some extent. A few months apart, a child's intelligence is very different. Therefore, children's ability to master painting knowledge and skills has also developed rapidly, and different stages should be treated differently. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the positive side of children's psychology, that is, although children lack life experience, they are very smart. They are curious, active, full of fantasy, and have a strong thirst for knowledge and creativity. If we ignore this point, it will be a great loss for early childhood education.
Painting is a game.
It is human nature to love beauty. Newborns like to see beautiful colors as soon as they open their eyes. If you hang a colored balloon above the cradle, his eyes will follow it. When they pick up a pen and draw lines and images on a piece of white paper, they will find it novel and funny when they see such beautiful colors. They just want to try again and like painting.
At this time, if parents or teachers restrain their children and force them to learn some simple and boring lines or geometric figures, they will inevitably lose interest in painting; Therefore, parents or teachers must pay attention to teaching methods in the early education process, and complete the teaching process in games, so that children can master skills in fun and get success and happiness.
-Imagination in children's painting-
The imagination of children's paintings is a dazzling aspect of children's psychology. It is a rule that children's painting begins with "graffiti". Through painting activities, hands, eyes and brain have been trained to a certain extent. After a little freedom, children spread their imagination wings and their physical limitations are less prominent.
In the process of teaching, parents or teachers will find that children are very quiet as soon as they draw. However, on the surface, everyone is quiet, but in fact, their thinking activities are very active. This is called external static and internal dynamic. For children of small class age, painting is not formed at all, and adults can hardly understand it. If parents or teachers ask them to talk about what they draw, they will tell you that this is a zoo, there are monkey mountains here and elephants there. There is a big tree, and all kinds of beautiful birds live on it. They can weave their own paintings into an interesting story, but they can't see what he said in the paintings at all. This is imagination, and imagination comes from real life. Children have experienced or heard stories told by their parents and teachers, and watched things on TV. They can express their inner world through their own paintings.
-Enjoy the painting-
Children are really addicted to painting, so there is no need for adults to rush them. If a painting is not finished, if parents or teachers force the child to stop, he will feel very uncomfortable and have no mind to do other things at all. He always thinks about unfinished paintings, which is quite unfavorable to the child's psychological development.
Children's psychological characteristics will be shown in painting. Give children a space created by themselves, let them express themselves and show their personality. This is what we should do. All the pictures drawn by children themselves will never be hidden by themselves, but will be shown to adults or teachers, hoping to share the happiness of success with them.
Therefore, we must appreciate and evaluate their works from the perspective of children, and we must never judge them from the perspective of adults, saying that the paintings are not like or the line drawings are not good. In this way, the child's joy will be ruthlessly extinguished. Therefore, the correct evaluation of children's paintings should also conform to children's age and psychological characteristics, give priority to encouragement, and put forward some suggestions or opinions appropriately.
The purpose of children's art education is not to train professional painters, but to sow the seeds of genius in children's hearts through art education, so that wisdom and creation can accompany children's healthy growth.
