It is true that the term art education contains many conscious and purposeful activities, which cultivate and promote the coordinated and synchronous development of observation, thinking and expression with the help of human eyes, thinking and hands, and have considerable identity, which constitutes the value orientation, potential and quality of art education. Herbert Reid, a British art educator, believes that education contains these two contradictions: one is to be educated to realize the original self, and the other is to be educated to become the non-original self. We can understand these two things in this way: first, through education, we can develop our innate potential as much as possible; The other is that people must adapt to the knowledge and skills acquired by society through education. Therefore, as an art education, it is reasonable to fully implement it on the dual basis of social requirements and personal potential.
1, find the source of life, cultivate and improve students' aesthetic ability.
In teaching, we are often monopolized by simple skills and the pursuit of skills, and put this in the first place of teaching objectives as a yardstick to measure the success of fine arts disciplines. Under the guidance of such a teaching motivation, students will follow the teacher to imitate. What did they observe? What do you feel? Everything is hard to find an answer. I think in art teaching, the first thing to consider is the accumulation of children's life experience. Without close contact, understanding and experience of life, it is like a blind man touching an elephant, and he can't understand the structure and image of things at all, let alone make new creations.
There is beauty everywhere in life, and art is good at capturing beauty from life. A child is not an artist, just like a little lion who just learned to hunt. They must learn to catch and seize opportunities under the guidance of the lioness. Students' abilities in all aspects are in the development stage, and their potential abilities need the guidance of teachers, so as to develop students' ability to feel, appreciate and evaluate beauty, let students feel the beauty of life, capture beauty from it, and generate the desire to express beauty, thus achieving the purpose of creating beauty.
2. Find beauty in life and cultivate students' observation ability.
The cultivation of observation ability is very important in art teaching, and nothing can be drawn without careful observation. Observation ability is not only the requirement of art, but also very important in other disciplines. Some great inventions are inseparable from scientists' careful observation of things and daily life, but in various disciplines, art is more direct in cultivating observation ability. Of course, the formation of observation ability is long-term and can not be ignored in every class. We should persistently guide students to gradually form this habit.
Observation is the main way for children to know their surroundings. Without observation, there will be no thinking, imagination and creation. Because creation is not created out of thin air, but the re-processing and combination of human brain's knowledge and understanding of the objective world.
Although life is something we experience every day, some students will feel at a loss and be at a loss, so that their works are too single and limited. This is precisely because they still have to stay in the unconscious state, and their observation ability needs to be improved. In the specific teaching on weekdays, I consciously guide students to observe, let children see the world with their own eyes, see everything in nature, do not set fixed standards and unchangeable models, do not put the eyes of adults on them, encourage students to use lateral thinking, advocate novelty, and ask them to express the world in their eyes by observing life.
I didn't explain the proportional relationship of characters in detail in the class of drawing by myself in senior one, but taught students the methods of observing and analyzing things, let children observe their classmates after class, pay attention to finding out their greatest characteristics, tell them what they observed in class, and draw the observed pictures after discussing and communicating with each other. When I finished my homework and began to show my work, I was surprised to find that the children's creativity was so rich. Their classmates are lively and interesting, and they really look alike. Although each part is not very accurate, they are well expressed. I asked them to guess, but they would all recognize it at once. I deeply realize that as long as the guidance is correct, unexpected results will be achieved. Imagine that if we use the method of "painting a gourd ladle" again, it will definitely hinder the cultivation of students' observation ability and stifle their creative thinking.
3. Integrate into the role of life and cultivate the rich imagination of primary school students.
Einstein famously said that imagination is more important than knowledge. Because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything and promotes progress, which is the source of all knowledge evolution. A small work is an exploration of a small world. The strangeness of his imagination, the boldness of his conception, the freedom of his technique and the unrestrained color of his catharsis are the most touching and wonderful values of children's works.
Various roles in life make students curious, and they have a strong sense of integration into life. It is especially effective for students to experience different life roles in learning and improve their interest in learning and innovation ability. In art class, I often find that students' creations have their own unique charm. Although some of them are lacking in creation, when you look at them from another angle, you will find that they are also perfect. For example, when teaching a class of "all kinds of shoes" and teaching students to make shoes, let students play the role of designers and producers and compare whose shoes are well made. After the shoes are finished, let the students take them to the market, act as buyers and sellers, sell their shoes, or choose products they are satisfied with, and the business is very prosperous; You can also auction the best shoes. Students are highly motivated to adapt to life roles, and the joy of business success can effectively promote learning and imagination.
Therefore, the proportion and position of art class in education is very important. We should try our best to put the art class in the correct position of education, and we must never be dispensable.
