How to guide students in lower grades to create children's paintings, abstract of thesis

Children's painting refers to children who, under the psychological characteristics of a certain age, become interested in surrounding things and situations, and use painting to express their feelings through various materials and forms. During my art teaching, I discovered that children have many fantasies about the sky, and they love to express imaginative celestial bodies such as the sun and the moon. However, when drawing the sun, many children first draw a round circle, then add short straight and curved lines representing light around it, and finally add red color to the circle. Some even add "Father Sun" to the sun. "Eyes, nose, and mouth. In fact, this common phenomenon is imposed by adults on children. It is the reproduction of adults' thinking and experience in children's minds. Another example: when painting the sky, we saw a piece of "blue sky" and a few clouds of similar shapes, as if there were never dark clouds rolling in the children's eyes, and the unfathomable sky. This situation all illustrates the children's painting thinking. It has been occupied by the concepts of adults. Adults take advantage of children's ability to imitate, intentionally or unintentionally teaching them a way of thinking, opportunistic thinking, and laziness in observation. In response to the above situation, when I guide children's painting creation in art teaching practice, I use to create certain situations to put children in the painting environment, pour out their emotions, and integrate emotions into the painting content, thereby improving the quality of creation and enhancing the experience of painting creation. Guide students into the painting environment.

1. Create various situations to stimulate interest in painting

Teaching imaginative creation requires teachers to understand students’ psychological activity processes and fully respect the painting language created by children, and choose appropriate situations. Stimulate interest and bring students into imagination. Students' homework is like a "display screen" that reflects the cognitive content in students' minds. It is the basis for teachers' guidance. Teachers' guidance generally requires words but not hands. The leading role of teachers is mainly to stimulate the desire to paint, guide imagination, demonstrate models, provide intuitive images, inspire representations, encourage the creation of self-confidence in processing image knowledge, and help students overcome psychological barriers and liberate themselves from various psychological constraints. come out. In the summary stage, we should try our best to give students the opportunity to "publish", so that students can talk about paintings, evaluate paintings, appreciate paintings, and experience the aesthetic feeling of successful creation.

(1) Use vivid and vivid language to describe stories and create situations.

The lower grade students are more interested in stories. When guiding the creation of children's paintings, use vivid and vivid language to describe the stories and induce students to put themselves into the creative story situations, so that each picture will be lively and interesting. The innocent and childish pictures appear on the paper, which are endearing and reveal children's creative wisdom and talent. In this way, students can listen to stories and draw freely at the same time. For example, when I teach "Interesting Things in Life" to the first grade, I use the story form to let students understand various interesting phenomena in life, and guide them to use the form of stories to tell their classmates about interesting things in their lives in a vivid and vivid way. The language description aroused the students' creative enthusiasm. In the context, the students' works were more childlike and charming.

(2) Play beautiful music and create a situation.

Music is an art of time and hearing. It forms an organically unified whole through formal elements such as melody, rhythm, beat, tune, timbre and sound quality, intensity and dynamics. When guiding children's painting creation, selectively play some music, use the harmony and rhythmic beauty of the music to infect students, and leave a deep impression on their brains, which can enhance the artistic effect of students' painting creation. For example, when I guide students to create "Interesting Lines", I play a beautiful and lyrical waltz, and the students follow the soothing music to draw beautiful curves with soft lines and colors; then I play fast-paced disco music, and then the students He can draw bright lines and create works that give people endless space for imagination.

(3) Ask inspiring questions and create situations.

When guiding children's painting creation, you can design questions according to the creative theme, encourage children to actively think about problems, support them to boldly express their opinions, and answer questions through their own exploration, thereby entering the painting situation and deepening the painting theme. . For example, in the title painting "I Make Friends with Animals", through the discussion of "Why should I make friends with animals?", children unknowingly enter the role and enter the specific situation depicted, and then the picture of "How to make friends with animals" is displayed. come out.

(4) Broaden the thinking space of painting, stimulate imagination and create situations.

Creative thinking is an advanced level of thinking activity, which refers to the process of finding new relationships and seeking new answers from problems on the basis of existing knowledge and experience. This kind of thinking is novel and Originality and divergence. In my teaching, I give students space for their thinking to diverge by stimulating their imaginations, so that they can draw unique paintings. For example: when I teach "Association of Hand Shape", I ask students to carefully observe their hands, and then let students make various hand movements, and guide students to talk about what associations can be made based on hand movements. In this way, the students were full of interest and broadened their thinking. They all competed to speak. Some said: "My hands make this movement like a deer's head;" some said: "My hands make this movement like counting the days. Stars;" Others said: "My fingers are spread out like a beautiful peacock" and so on.

At this time, I further inspired the students to "come up with ideas" on the background. Some added forests and orchards to decorate a deer's paradise; some painted the sky, moon and stars, imagining getting on a spaceship and traveling in space; Some painted flowers, grassland and beautiful forests to give my peacock a home. With everyone's joint efforts, beautiful pictures were brewing in the children's minds, and each one had a beautiful image. The new image naturally flows vividly in the students' pens, broadening their thinking space for painting, stimulating their inspiration, and enriching their imagination and creativity. Under the guidance of the situation, students enhance their desire to create, make their thinking more imaginative, and further develop their creativity.

Children's painting creation is also a representation of children's rich imagination. They have all kinds of strange images in their minds and express them all through the brushes in their hands. Those amazing and incredible pictures are exactly what they want. It is a kind of expectation in children's hearts, a kind of mental satisfaction, and these imaginations often come from fairy tales, myths or science fiction stories. Boys like to draw themselves as invincible divine warriors, and girls like to draw themselves as beautiful The princess or mermaid rides on a big bird and travels through space, soaring under the sea like a mermaid. Some painted the sun's rays as a girl's long hair, and asked a group of children to braid their hair around the sun. Some let themselves fly in space with robot dinosaurs, some painted space into a children's paradise, and some turned the bottom of the sea into a gorgeous and brilliant world... These tasks all have the inherent conditions to become complete children's paintings. With different levels of induction and processing, you can get a piece of pleasing children's paintings. In guidance, teachers should focus on inspiring students' imagination and cultivating creativity. Only in this way can children's painting creation truly become children's own paintings, and art education can achieve the purpose of cultivating students' creative abilities. In short, imagination in art teaching not only improves students' imagination and creativity, but also improves their ability to think in images. The memory of beautiful images can subtly improve students' aesthetic quality. At the same time, it can also improve students' learning methods of other subjects and turn rote memorization into visual memory.

2. Stay close to life, draw familiar things, and resolve the difficulty of creation

1. Art creation comes from life, combined with school activities, and consciously tell the content of the painting in advance so that students can understand it. Pay attention to the content of the drawing and let students draw the scene that they feel the most. For example, since the countdown to the "One World, One Dream Beijing 2008" Olympic Games, our school has carried out many Olympic promotion activities, such as the "Green Olympics" in which each student claimed a small tree to take care of, and the "Smiling Beijing" "Theme activities and the "Red Scarf Smile Passing Activity" were carried out, and the students of our school proposed a civilized Olympics proposal to the residents of the community. In these activities, through observation and experience, students can draw their true feelings in later painting creations. The protagonists of many of the pictures are our favorite Olympic mascots: Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, and Nini, the five adorable Fuwa babies.

2. Students draw when they are interested, as long as they draw their own stories in the form of a drawing diary. Because the students in the lower grades are too young to use language well to describe the interesting things that happened in their lives in detail, I asked them to directly choose a picture of the people or things they see and hear every day. In the end, the requirements don't have to be too high, including talent selection, styling, text arrangement, etc., as long as they are appropriate, we will give encouragement. Sometimes they smear freely, especially like abstract paintings, but they paint with gusto. Sometimes they talk to themselves, even sing and laugh. This is when they are proud of their painting, and at this time they are talking to themselves. They share their childlike fun and seize the opportunity for guidance. Guide them through the drawing.

3. Use the form of copying paintings: allow children to use their own ideas to exaggerate or distort the original works during the copying process, and turn them into creations amid dissimilarity; or copy only certain parts and fill in other parts; Either it complements its color according to its shape; or it complements its shape according to its color. This can also serve as a creative practice. For example, when I was teaching composition, I used a photo of a football field to allow students to practice composition. Some of the students took panoramic compositions. The students not only carefully depicted the scenes of football players intercepting each other, but also added the surrounding audience and environment. , brought the tension on the court to us. Haiyou students only selected two athletes, and also omitted the surrounding environment, but through the postures of the characters, I can also feel the tension of making up the game.

3. Strengthen students’ appreciation of content and improve their aesthetic ability

1. Create an exhibition environment and open up exhibition positions

Long-term exhibitions in our school’s gallery exhibition area Excellent children's paintings; such as "Magic Car", "Traveling in Space", "Three Little Pigs", etc. were displayed to the whole school through this display platform, and also received praise from other students, as well as " "Little Painters' World" mainly displays the outstanding works of the school's painting students every month and some messages from parents on their children's art development. It can also mobilize students' enthusiasm in painting. Through this exhibition, Ao Yifan, the first young painter in our school, made all the students know him and follow his example, thus increasing the students' interest in painting.

2. Select children's paintings to enjoy together

Select children's paintings inside and outside class or students' own works, and use multimedia TVs and physical projectors to increase the number of students in the classroom Content that middle school teachers and students can appreciate together. To improve students' painting skills and learn from each other's strengths, teachers should analyze and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of works with students, thereby cultivating students' aesthetic abilities and continuously improving students' interest in painting.

3. Strengthen homework review

After completing the homework, students can be organized to present to their classmates in various forms, such as special exhibitions or on-site demonstrations. Students are required to use appropriate art language to explain and evaluate the assignment, and talk about what emotions are shown in the picture. Through guidance and inspiration, teachers help them learn to observe and analyze the shape, proportion, color and combination relationship of objects in the picture, expand students' horizons, inspire students' desire for knowledge and expression, and build students' confidence. Thus, under the guidance of teachers, the appreciation ability and aesthetic taste can be continuously improved. In appreciation, there should also be different emphasis according to the students' knowledge level.

Children love to draw. To be precise, they love the joy of scribbling without restraint. Children like to learn painting because they are eager to use this silent language to express their emotions. A children's painting can reflect the child's understanding and perception ability, as well as the child's emotion, aesthetics and outlook on life. In short, the creation and guidance of children's paintings is a mysterious world full of temptations. I will use my teaching practice to explore its laws and add new gorgeous flowers to the garden of children's paintings.
