What kind of talents are needed in the 2 1 century with continuous progress and rapid development? According to the prediction of sociologists, the 2 1 century needs talents with keen thinking, unique thinking, enterprising spirit and caring for society. Today's children are the new force in the construction of the motherland in the 2 1 century. It is our educators' unshirkable responsibility to make them qualified successors and masters in the new century.
As we all know, early childhood is a critical period for the formation and development of various abilities. Through several years of work experience, I believe that painting activities play an important role in children's ability and development. Painting is an activity that combines feeling, thinking and fantasy. Children know the world around them and express their inner feelings through painting. Therefore, children's painting is of inestimable significance to the development of children's intelligence and the perfection of their personality.
First, cultivate interest and generate self-confidence.
What do you like? what do you want to do? It all stems from interest. Of course, interest has natural factors, but what is more important is the cultivation of the day after tomorrow. When children are interested in painting at first, most of them are out of curiosity. If they don't consolidate after a curious opportunity, they will have no interest in painting. Therefore, let children draw some very simple and interesting paintings first, actively guide children who are beginners to draw, and adopt more ways of praise and encouragement to keep their interest going and inspire children to improve in a certain place, which is better than next time. Doing so can make children have strong self-confidence subconsciously, because psychological factors are very important. Self-confidence is a person's correct understanding, experience and full evaluation of his strength and self-worth. Self-confidence plays a regulating role in children's thoughts, feelings and behaviors.
Second, cultivate children's observation.
Anyone who has painted knows that painting is a visual art activity. No matter copying, sketching or creating, it must be observed. People with strong observation ability are also keen on painted works. On the other hand, people with poor observation ability cannot show the realism of things in their works. Much the same, children's painting also needs to have a certain observation ability, but also to grasp the shape, size and proportion of objects, which requires him to observe objective things carefully, not only to pay attention to the whole thing, but also to all parts and details of things, and to find more differences between things. Once, I described a beautiful rural scenery to my children and asked them to draw a picture according to my description. The children's works are very vivid and beautiful. The painted fields change with the level, the hazy in the distance is light, and the colors in the vicinity are getting brighter and brighter. Trees are also changing layer by layer, with dark green inner ring, light green middle and yellow-green outer layer, and distinct layers. The child told me that the inner layer is green because the leaves grow much more, and the leaves grow less outside, and the leaves are yellow under the sunlight. Look! How detailed and interesting observation is! As teachers, we should give more guidance in observation to improve their observation sensitivity. When providing objects for painting, try to use imitations as little as possible, but let children compare physical paintings and see more nature. Or draw a big tree. The teacher first guides them to observe the big tree, and prompts its characteristics when observing: What is the shape of the trunk? What shape is the crown? What color are they, more specifically, what shape are the leaves, so that they can be interested in observing them and firmly remember the image of the tree in their minds. Only in this way can we achieve the best effect of cultivating observation and achieve "writing counts"
Third, cultivate children's imagination and respect the creativity of children's artistic works.
Imagination is the wing of wisdom and the source of all inventions. Children should be strongly encouraged to express their imagination. In painting class, I always leave the background blank, encourage children to imagine freely and add pictures, and emphasize that adding pictures is different from other people's backgrounds and forms different plots. Children's works are often rich in content, eclectic and imaginative. Therefore, the key to cultivating children's imagination is to give them enough space to play freely. Once, I found a parent in my class who didn't understand his son's paintings, and said, "Did I spend money on paper and pens to make you draw blindly?" I saw the children's paintings, and the whole picture was colorful. At first glance, it's a mess, but if I look deeper, it's not hard to find the novelty of composition and the boldness of color. In fact, this shows the creativity of children to adapt to their own level of physical and mental development. Kindergartens and families should provide conditions for the development of this creativity and let it develop better. Teachers and parents should encourage children to ask creative questions and ideas, so that they can be "unconventional". Asking questions is an important way for children to accumulate knowledge and develop their thinking. Therefore, adults should encourage children to be skeptical about recognized phenomena and conclusions, dare to put forward their own different views and ideas, and appreciate children's novel and unique ideas. If you are naive or wrong, don't simply deny it, but patiently tell him where he is wrong and how to ask and answer correctly.
Fourth, pay attention to personality cultivation.
Personality is universal, and it is a factor that can not be ignored in promoting social development. I think that education is not to let the educated gradually eliminate their individuality and become robots who only know how to accept, but to give full play to their individuality through learning, so that they can have creative spirit and become the main force to adapt to and promote the present life and the future. Preschool period is the initial period of children's personality formation, and it is of great significance to attach importance to the cultivation of children's personality. Malc, an American psychologist, believes that most self-beliefs are unconsciously formed according to past experience, success and rules, humiliation and victory, and others' reactions to themselves, especially according to childhood experience. Once the "successful" and "unsuccessful" characters are shaped, they will have a great impact on people's life. Teachers should create an environment for children to give full play to their abilities and experience the joy of success. Painting activities can allow children to fully express themselves, and everyone may find a place to express themselves and enjoy the joy of victory and success. At the same time, children can fully relax themselves and feel happy and unrestrained. Teachers should create more conditions for children to show their talents. While creating a successful environment, we should always give positive affirmation. The Olympic Games has a famous slogan, "Participation is the most important". As long as the children are seriously involved, we must give them affirmation, so that they can always maintain a good mental state and work hard for the next time. Everyone has the nature to pursue goals. Once you lose the goal you are interested in, you will feel lost. In painting activities, pay special attention to step by step, from shallow to deep. Children show their consciousness without reservation while pursuing their goals, and paint wonderful pictures from the heart, laying the foundation for the cultivation of their personality.
Fifth, cultivate children's language expression ability of painting.
While cultivating the above-mentioned abilities, teachers should also be good at using opportunities to guide children to understand words according to their actual feelings and express them freely. For example, leading children to observe the snow scene in winter can teach them words such as "biting cold", "white" and "heavy snow". Teachers can guide children to explain their own paintings during training. The process of explanation is actually the process of training children's oral ability. In addition, teachers can purposefully guide children to comment on paintings. Teachers can let children observe the pictures and ask for advice first, and then let them talk about what is good, what is bad and why. Then the teacher guides the children to combine all kinds of comments to form coherent sentences, which not only deepens the children's understanding of the painting process, but also develops their oral expression ability.
In short, painting activities are of inestimable significance to the cultivation and development of children's imagination, observation, language expression ability, good personality and self-confidence.
