First, guide children to appreciate painting and cultivate their aesthetic ability
The aesthetic feeling and thinking in images of small class children are still in the primary stage. Although they have rich imagination, they can't express it, so they don't want to draw. At this time, it is necessary to help children evoke clear images that express the characteristics of objects, thus slowly stimulating their desire to learn painting. Appreciating some beautiful and interesting children's paintings is our first thought. Let children appreciate the paintings of teachers or large-class children, make their works into beautiful stories and tell them to small-class children, guide them to observe the colors and shapes of objects in the paintings purposefully, and let them feel the beauty of colors and shapes in the pictures. Finally, tell the children where these faces are well drawn and where they are not well drawn. As long as you want to learn to draw, encourage them to draw beautiful pictures. In addition, teachers should pay attention to the bright colors when providing children with paintings. The outline of the object in the painting should be large and interesting, and the theme should be prominent. They are the most common and favorite simple objects in children's daily life, which are more conducive to children's acceptance and understanding and attract children's interest. According to the age characteristics, hobbies and painting characteristics of small class children, choose familiar content in life. For example, children in small classes like small animals and transportation. To arouse their enthusiasm, cultivate their imagination, stimulate their interest in painting, and stimulate their creative desire to see, think, draw, do and play.
Second, the materials are novel and diverse.
Children in small classes begin to learn to draw. Teachers must pay attention to the novelty of material selection and choose topics that children are interested in, familiar with and attractive. For example: "red apple", "lollipop", "the sun is out", "safflower" and so on.
1. Pay attention to what just happened around your child.
What happens to children will leave a deep impression on their minds, arouse their association and stimulate their desire for expression. The more familiar things children are, the more they can arouse their strong interest.
2. The chosen theme should be life-oriented.
The selected theme comes from children's life and accords with children's cognitive level and age characteristics. For example, me and my good friends, the car I designed, I love kindergarten and so on. Such a theme is close to children's life experience and can give full play to children's imagination.
3. Choose a theme that can bring children's imagination and creativity into play.
Children in small classes have rich imaginations. They think it is reasonable to look good and feasible to have fun. Therefore, imaginative themes are also what they love to express.
Adopt a variety of flexible teaching forms to stimulate children's interest in teaching content, thus generating a strong desire for painting.
1. Story method
Interesting and pleasant stories have a unique appeal to children and can quickly bring them into the picture. For example, in the painting appreciation of Dressing Baby Leaves, I compiled a story: Autumn is coming and the wind is coming. Whew, Xiaoye left Mother Tree, and Mother Tree was really sad. Let's help mother tree and send her little leaves back! In this way, children can quickly understand the content of the story and know what the content of painting activities is.
2. Children's Song Method
In the process of drawing, catchy nursery rhymes and formulas can inspire small class children to draw better. For example, when drawing a "red apple", "first draw a round bubble with a small mouth and a lollipop in it." Inspire children's thinking in images and creativity. The mutual penetration of painting and these forms will enhance children's interest in painting to varying degrees.
3. Game method
Vygotsky believes that the game is like a magnifying glass, which can show children's potential new abilities in the game before it is shown in other situations. Children's performance in games is often higher than their development level. Therefore, using interesting game methods in artistic activities can not only keep children relaxed and happy, but also stimulate their creative passion, so that children can enjoy themselves in a happy artistic world. Running games through children's painting activities is the most commonly used method in kindergarten art activities. For example, in the "bubble blowing" painting activity, I prepared a bottle of soapy water and a straw for each child to participate in the bubble blowing game. They had a good time and thought that the bubbles in the game were round and flying, which better stimulated the children's interest in painting.
Third, create a good painting environment.
Providing a relaxed and happy creative environment for children is a good edification for children and can make them exert a subtle influence. Mr. Chen Heqin advocates playing middle school. Play is a child's first need. Create a good painting environment, let children gradually master skills in "playing" and gradually improve their various abilities in "playing". Properly lead children out of the classroom and into colorful nature, guide children to observe, know and understand nature, feel life and feel the diversity of artistic creation, so that they can actively observe, imagine and create in artistic activities and better stimulate their interest in painting. In autumn, I will lead the children to walk in the kindergarten, guide them to observe what changes have taken place in autumn, and lead them to pick up leaves and return to the classroom with different colors and shapes. Through observation and discussion, children will be more interested in drawing leaves.
Fourth, the use of colorful painting materials.
Use a variety of painting forms and tools to stimulate children's interest in painting. Curiosity is an important feature of children, and unchanging painting materials and forms will also make children feel dull. In art activities, the commonly used painting tools are oil pastels, colored sticks and colored pens. The painting form is single, children lack the ability to use various painting tools alternately, and the picture is monotonous. Therefore, teachers should use a variety of painting tools, such as finger painting, seal painting, chalk painting, blowing painting, scraping painting and so on. These painting forms are easy to learn, colorful and effective, which can make children experience the happiness of success. For example, in the painting activity of "painting fruit trees", I let the children freely create with different painting methods and different tools according to their own wishes, and paint fruit trees by tearing, cutting and pasting. Children can not only cut and paste all kinds of fruit trees, but also point out the fruits on them, and add pictures of the sun, grass and flowers around them in various forms and rich colors. Another example is: in the art activity "Big Pineapple", guide children to draw lines on the pineapple. At this time, most teachers will let their children draw with crayons. The crayon's head is hard and thick, so it is difficult to draw points on the plaid. So we paint with cotton swabs with moderate hardness and thickness dipped in paint. At this time, the child's interest is even higher. Everyone draws lines and dots on the grid very carefully, and the activity effect is very good.
In addition, there are cotton swab painting, blow painting, eggshell stickers, physical printing and so on. Experiments show that children can maintain a strong interest in painting activities by using a variety of operating materials properly.
Fifth, pay attention to the evaluation after painting.
Children's paintings may be messy, or just a few lines, but they are all carefully created by children. Teachers should cherish the fruits of their labor, give affirmation to every child, praise even a little progress, and make suggestions on their own shortcomings. In the evaluation link after painting activities, guiding children to express their creative works will not only help teachers better understand children's works, but also improve children's language expression ability and appreciation ability. In this process, even if children can't understand the content of painting, teachers should boldly guide children to express their thoughts through painting and record their creative dynamic process. Use "good" at the same time "Good painting" and "progress" are words that affirm children and improve their self-confidence in painting. Let them experience the fun of painting activities, fully mobilize the initiative of children in painting activities, and stimulate their interest in painting activities next time. At the beginning of art activities, some children in our class were afraid to write, some scribbled casually, and the paper was black. But I didn't criticize them immediately when evaluating, but actively guided them to introduce them according to individual differences and children's interests. I commend them for every progress they have made in time. At the same time, let parents actively cooperate and give their children more love and patience, so that every child can feel the joy of success when painting at home, thus enhancing their interest in painting.
In small-class children's painting activities, only by establishing a correct view of children and education, respecting every child, giving full play to children's subjectivity, and using various methods to create a relaxed and happy environment can children's interest be stimulated and their enthusiasm for participating in painting activities be improved.
