The most meaningful thing about early childhood art education is to explore the creative potential of young children. In children's art activities, children's creativity should be given top priority, rather than the teaching of knowledge and skills. Try to provide children with opportunities for self-expression, and encourage children to boldly express their unique thoughts and feelings. This has become the priority of the majority of kindergarten teachers. **knowledge. Art and painting classes should clarify the teaching objectives, arrange interesting teaching content, and cultivate children's observation and expression abilities through methods such as looking, thinking, and talking about drawing, and give full play to children's imagination and creativity. Enable children to improve comprehensively and develop actively, so that the quality of classroom teaching can be truly reflected. After years of teaching practice, this article has formulated teaching strategies that are conducive to stimulating the development of children's innovative abilities in large classes, and determined the classroom teaching model of "creative exploration, personality expression", so that children can learn to learn and create, and have achieved twice the result with half the effort.

1. Create situations that encourage children in large classes to seek differences, create, and express themselves.

Teachers are the leaders and regulators of situation creation. By setting certain situations, children can perceive and become familiar with art content as soon as possible, generate a desire to explore, and clarify learning goals. For example: When teaching the lesson "The World of Birds", in order to make the children in the upper class understand the relationship between birds and birds, background and birds, stimulate their interest in painting, and activate their thinking, a teacher set up a fairy tale: The bushes in the forest were People cut down trees, leaving only bare hillsides, and the birds’ homes are gone. What should we do? ... enable children to understand the relationship between birds and nature, and create scenes by appreciating the music of "Birdsong" to combine movement and stillness, enrich children's senses, and enhance their interest in painting.

To cultivate the imagination of children in senior classes, we must first start from the children's psychological characteristics, knowledge, social environment, natural environment, etc., and guide them to spread the wings of imagination and create newer and more surprising pictures. My approach is to guide children to practice adding paintings, grouping paintings, and memory paintings, to cultivate and mobilize children's imagination, and to teach the children in the upper class to use divergent thinking to boldly innovate and expand the content of teaching materials.

For example, when teaching "Happy Recess Activities", for children in the upper class, the proportions of characters and "likeness" and "unlikeness" are not important. The key is picture imagination, layout, and environment. For background and color matching, you can first inspire children to imagine the postures of characters: such as running, jumping, squatting, etc., and then ask several children with strong abilities to demonstrate. At the same time, teachers can draw dynamic lines of characters on the blackboard to guide them. The children were very interested and eager to try. Finally, wonderful paintings "Happy Recess Activities" were displayed in front of the children.

Another example, when teaching the lesson "We Love Labor", you can first ask the whole class to watch the children's skit "General Cleaning", and then ask questions:

① What do you like best? Which children are in the sketch "Cleaning"? Why?

②Are you willing to be a child who loves to work? What can you do?

This led to the theme of the painting class "We Love Labor", and drew a child on the blackboard with his hands raised sideways and upright, and asked the children: "What is this child doing? Does it count as in?" "Working? Are the working hands flat or slanted and curved?" and organize children to discuss how to make the characters' limbs tilt or bend.

Finally, some children also used the "juxtaposition" painting technique to express the entire picture, and used the contrast between purple and yellow. The juxtaposition of purple, blue and other lines for the background, and the juxtaposition of flesh-colored, yellow and other lines for the face not only make the color of the picture rich and varied, but also appropriately express the personality of the characters, giving the whole picture a " Content" can be "read".

What is the painting technique of "juxtaposition"?

Juxtaposition is to place different oil pastel color dots or lines on the picture side by side to create a flickering effect, similar to the pointillism painting method of impressionist painters.

2. Explore and resolve doubts, and raise questions that can cause children to think and discuss.

The inquiry process is a process in which children study and familiarize themselves with the teaching materials. The teacher carefully designs the questions so that the children's personality can be fully developed during the inquiry. Under the interaction of peers and the guidance of the teacher, , thinking from simple to deep, the ultimate goal is to solve problems, make new discoveries and inspirations, and improve the ability of children in the upper class to independently acquire knowledge.

For example: when teaching the lesson "Big Ah Fu New Year's greetings", you can first use the wall calendar to teach the "Big Ah Fu" doll, and throughout the teaching process, the "Big Ah Fu" will ask questions , and then solve the problem. For example, what does "being blessed" mean? There is a kind of doll in China called Dafu. Why is it called Dafu? What can it bring to people?

Combined with appreciating the "Big Ah Fu" calendar and exquisite model paintings, the teacher sets difficult questions for children to communicate with each other to solve problems, and creates time and space for children to participate, discuss decisions in groups, and discover problems. Stimulate and mobilize the learning enthusiasm of children in large classes; the exchange of information between teachers and students, and between students and students makes each child's thinking ability more active, satisfies the inner need for knowledge, and lays a solid foundation for self-expression and innovation.

3. Efforts should be made to create a relaxed and enthusiastic creative atmosphere in which you and others are chasing after each other, so that the art activity process becomes a process that guides children to inspire each other, broaden their minds, and actively create.

This link is the stage of children’s subjective practice and cognitive activities, and it is the consolidation and deepening of the knowledge learned by children. When teaching and guiding, on the one hand, each child's ability should be further improved, and on the other hand, the performance of children at different levels should be taken into consideration, and targeted guidance should be provided so that children can gain confidence in the improvement of their own abilities. Special emphasis is placed on reasonable imagination and exaggeration to make the paintings more childlike.

Cultivating young children must be good at using their brains as well as their hands. How to better teach art knowledge and painting skills to children in large classes? It should be reflected in classroom teaching reform and skills training, and children should be trained to use lines, colors, and images to express their intentions and skills.

For example, when teaching the lesson "Underwater World", you can first show a background picture of the seabed on the blackboard and ask children to draw fish of different shapes and place them in it. Immediately, the children used the painting expression skills they had learned in daily life and used their brains to come up with new ideas. In less than twenty minutes, the children finished their homework, cut it out, and displayed it on the blackboard in the "Underwater World" one after another. There are big fish and small fish, and some are just a strange fish mother with beautiful little fish behind her; some are a group of triangular swallowfish forming a circle like blooming flowers; two big crabs are competing with each other waving their iron pincers. Through Tiantian's drawing, cutting and pasting, a wonderful and fantastic underwater miniature is displayed in front of the children. The vivid and charming "Picture of Fish Swimming" accompanied by the melodious music of "Poetry of the Sea" attracted the whole class of children, who exclaimed in admiration from time to time.

This teaching method not only completes the content required in the textbook, but also makes the children full of emotions, classroom teaching format is lively, high quality and effective. It fully mobilizes the rich imagination and logical thinking ability of children in the upper class and consolidates the learning of painting skills.

4. Commentary and expansion to enhance children’s aesthetic experience.

This link is the feedback and verification of the completion of the teaching objectives of the entire lesson. The purpose is to understand learning methods, experience thoughts and feelings, and summarize experiences and lessons. Under the teacher's prompts, the understanding of learning goals extends from in-class to out-of-class.

For example, when teaching the lesson "Carton Modeling", you can compare the teaching objectives and evaluate through three aspects: first, whether there is a sense of innovation, second, whether the craftsmanship is good, and third, whether the production attitude is serious. Let children evaluate the requirements through mutual evaluation and self-evaluation, and put forward their own distinct opinions. Finally, the excellent ones are judged, small rewards are given to the children, and aesthetic education is provided to the children.

In the evaluation of paintings, it is necessary to create loose development conditions for children’s innovative consciousness and creative ability, encourage children to develop their own talents and individual expressions, and pay attention to protecting and developing the uniqueness of each child. Sex and hobbies. Reforming teaching methods and letting children master learning strategies can promote the development of original thinking.

The cultivation of innovative ability serves as a bridge from the concrete thinking stage to the image thinking stage. Comprehensive training from multiple angles and channels can further sublimate original thinking. Using both hands and brain, hands-on operation is a concrete manifestation of innovative thinking.

In short, innovative education is necessary and has a long way to go. It still requires unremitting exploration and research by theoretical workers and practical workers to clarify the basic connotation of innovative education in terms of educational concepts and put it into practice. Concepts are truly transformed into actions, and its biggest beneficiaries are our children!
