If we teach early children some painting skills and carry out mechanized training, the children trained in that way may have immediate effects, but it is not conducive to their long-term development.
If we develop children's creative thinking in the early stage and guide them to draw through creative painting, it will be of great benefit to the development of children's thinking ability and intelligence.

★ Divergent thinking training
Painting is not an artistic expression that everyone likes, but almost all children like painting, which is a certain stage of children's intellectual development. Painting is a certain stage of children's intellectual development, which is very beneficial to children's intellectual development. Don't think that children may not become painters when they grow up. It is unnecessary to paint when they are young.
When a child draws, his brain and hands are undoubtedly exercised, and drawing is of great help to his observation ability, thinking ability and reading ability. Teachers in many schools have reported that students who love painting are generally active, open-minded and logical. They are not only good at drawing, but also good at other courses, especially their Chinese expression ability is better than other students. Therefore, it is very necessary to train children's thinking with painting language.
The value of divergent thinking training lies in cultivating students to think from different angles and directions and seek various possible answers from all aspects. It is an expanded way of thinking, which is conducive to bringing forth the old and bringing forth the new, and produces many strange ideas, and is regarded as the core of creative thinking. In children's fine arts painting, we should pay attention to the cultivation of divergent thinking. As the saying goes: "The sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and birds fly." Only by making children smart can they truly feel the joy of free thinking!
★ Reverse thinking training
Reverse thinking, also called divergent thinking, requires students to think in the opposite direction, observe and think in two opposite directions when doing activities as required, so as to avoid the mechanical process of single positive thinking and one-way understanding and overcome the simplification of understanding the surface phenomena of objects.
It is often unique and unique to look at and understand the object from the opposite perspective. For example, ants are bigger than people and people are taller than people. Extending imagination from vertical restriction and expanding imagination from reverse multilateral thinking has also achieved remarkable results. For example, the traditional concept of the sun is round, and teachers can let students imagine drawing any shape, such as square, triangle and prism. The color of the sun is red, so it can be naturally divided into several different areas in a circle and painted with different colors such as red, blue and green, which brings the idea that "painting the sun is not necessarily a circle, not necessarily red" to students.
The sun can be painted as a collection of red, blue and green, or it can be divided into three colors, multi-colors and multi-faces, and painted as a collection carrier of different color blocks. At the same time, in the use of color, it is not graffiti, but the natural laws of yin and yang are used to divide things. For example, a leaf is not painted green, but must be divided into two colors, half green and half purple. The three colors of the sun, namely, red, green and blue, are determined according to this law, which complicates the division of colors and forms, and interspersed with combination changes to express students' different feelings, ideas and color feelings.
2. Apply it to the training of artistic creative painting.
Divergent thinking and reverse thinking will be the thinking methods to train a new generation of children in the new century, and the training of artistic creativity can best reflect the training of this kind of thinking. Focus on creativity, this is not innovation. There are ways to cultivate creativity. Creativity can come from life and nature. Creativity can start with innovative shapes, innovative combinations and innovative functions. Creativity does not necessarily require rationality. If you start from irrationality, your imagination will run infinitely, and you can't deny your child's thoughts with irrationality.
Of course, Lenovo is not a fantasy, nor is it an unrealistic fantasy. First of all, provide a certain number of visual elements, which can be as simple as a line, a point and a small stationery, and provide methods of associative thinking, such as association from the modeling direction, association from the similar direction, association from the combination direction, association from the functional direction ... The result of association is freedom, and there will never be a standard answer, and there is no right or wrong.
Let's talk about several ways of thinking training to improve students' interest in painting step by step.
★ Shape deformation
"Form" is the basic element of art, because art appeals to human vision,
The object of visual perception is "shape". Teaching students how to feel, understand, use and create "shape" is an important goal of art class.
Deformation method is a creative activity around "shape", which inspires students to change a basic shape into another new shape by means of exaggeration, addition and decoration. For example, the teacher first draws the basic shape of a rabbit, and then inspires students to draw square rabbits, long-necked rabbits, multi-headed rabbits and giant rabbits through exaggeration, reduction and increase. Deformation class can develop children's thinking of seeking difference, which is the starting point of creative thinking, so art creation activities can also start from deformation class.
★ Body misconception
Many beautiful things in the world are realized by imagination. Only through bold ideas can children make creative thinking smooth. However, wrong ideas are not limited by any scientific facts. Assumption can make students think about problems from multiple angles and levels, put forward their own opinions, express their thoughts and develop their creative ability. For example, students can be inspired to create long-necked rabbits as food, flying rabbits as skydiving, space rabbits flying into the sky, giant rabbits as guardians of the earth and so on.
★ personification of the body
At the same time, anthropomorphic expression can be used to express the interest of painting process and the affection for life. Imagine the sun, umbrellas, fruits, etc. As a character form, form a plot. Such as: Grandpa Sun is laughing, Brother Apple is crying, etc.
★ Body addition method
In primitive life, any character can be used for painting, and any object can be used for "painting". Draw with letters, numbers, shapes, natural objects and so on. For example, a simple circle can be associated with many rich images by adding pictures; To put on a shoe, you can creatively think of a ship, or you can think of the whimsy of extraordinary thinking such as opening your toes and spitting out a long tongue.
