How to guide rural children to learn art

Interest is the foundation and premise of learning, and it is also the main driving force. A well-known psychologist once pointed out: Teachers should not try to force knowledge onto children, but should find materials that can arouse and stimulate children's interest, and then let the children learn on their own initiative. In primary school art teaching, how to improve students' interest in art classes is crucial. However, limited by economic conditions, art teaching in rural areas is difficult to attract students' interest. This requires not only the efforts of society and schools, but also the efforts of our front-line art teachers to develop rural art education. We cannot change some objective factors. What we can change is to understand students, change their concepts, and stimulate students' interest in learning based on the specific conditions of the school and from reality.

1. Fascinating classroom introduction

In the first five minutes of a class, students have just returned to the classroom. They are either playing games or participating in recess sports activities. Panting, most students were emotional. It is difficult to calm down. If the teacher immediately imparts new knowledge at this time, the effect will definitely be unsatisfactory. At this stage, teachers should give full play to the advantages of multimedia teaching and enhance the image of teaching. Multimedia courseware can be used to introduce new lessons, and vivid images and sounds can directly stimulate students' visual, auditory and other sensory systems, thus leaving a deep impression. You can also use multimedia teaching equipment to display some small jokes, small riddles, short stories, etc. related to the text content, to cleverly stimulate students' interest in learning, or listen to a beautiful piece of music, appreciate beautiful pictures, and attract students Withdraw your mind, return to the classroom, and then waste no time in revealing the teaching objectives, allowing students to easily and happily clarify the learning tasks of this lesson, stimulating students' interest in learning, and paving the way for new lessons.

2. Create a teaching situation and create a harmonious atmosphere

When students study, only the teacher teaches and the students listen. Such a boring classroom is the least popular among students. Art classes must Make it easy and fun. As a teacher, we should create a relaxed and harmonious learning environment for students, so that they prefer art classes, be willing to learn art knowledge, and accept the influence of beauty. This not only inspires and displays students, but also serves as a catalyst for learning motivation. Teachers can use beautiful images in artistic works and real life to infect students, stimulate students' emotions, cultivate noble sentiments, better understand teaching content, and improve teaching effects. Teachers can also use the effective combination of exquisite multimedia courseware and games to attract students. For example, when teaching "Pictures and Texts", use multimedia to display several cartoons, followed by several paragraphs of text, and let students use the "Lianliankan" game to connect and match each picture with the corresponding text. Through vivid multimedia courseware and mini-games, students' strong interest is enhanced and the effectiveness of learning is improved.

3. Use local materials to stimulate students’ interest in learning

Use natural conditions to provide good arts and crafts classes. The primary school art syllabus stipulates that arts and crafts classes account for 45% to 50% of the teaching content. As we all know, to take art classes, you need to prepare a lot of materials, such as plasticine, building blocks, etc. Purchasing these materials is a big expense for rural children. In order to change the status quo and stimulate students' imagination and interest in learning art, I encourage students to introduce materials that can be found everywhere in the countryside into the classroom. Rural students "go out and look at the mountains and rivers, and look up and see the trees." This provides us with excellent conditions to cultivate students' artistic talents and lead them to the palace of arts and crafts.

For example, stones and leaves can be used to teach stickers and plastic arts. Pebbles can be seen everywhere beside rivers and hills in rural areas. For example, in the teaching of "Faces of Various Shapes", students can be guided to choose pebbles of different shapes according to the teaching requirements, combine them with shapes, and design and process them into various shapes. face. In teaching, we often require students to follow the four processes of "selecting", "looking", "sticking" and "coloring" to make works and then put them on the window sill or on the desk. Under the premise of the teacher's timely guidance, let the students interact with each other. Compare each other. For another example, straw, wheat straw, and branches can be used for modeling teaching. Wheat straw, straw, and branches can be seen everywhere in rural areas, in front of and behind houses and on the edges of fields.

After the lesson of "Ingenious Weaving", the teacher can ask the students to collect some straw, wheat straw, branches, etc., clean them and trim them neatly, and guide the students to compose and weave them like the paper strips introduced in the textbook, and design beautiful ones. pattern. This will not only cultivate students' creative imagination ability, but also enrich the content of rural art classes.

4. Encouraging teaching methods

In the process of art teaching, teachers should protect students’ unique personalities, give them space to express themselves freely, and encourage students to base themselves on their own reality. Boldly express your inner world in a unique way; at the same time, you can express your own unique opinions on other people's works. Teachers should discover and fully affirm their strengths, see their progress, and make them confident in their talents, so that students with different innate qualities, different intelligence levels and personality characteristics can all develop through art activities. Let every student fully feel the joy and pride brought by success, and enable students to establish self-confidence and consciousness in learning.

Teachers cannot evaluate through simple grades, and do not expect to judge the progress of each student in a fixed way. What students need is emotional language, and teachers need to find its shining points. The famous childhood experience of Walt Disney is worth learning from. When he was in elementary school. He once painted the flowers as human faces and the leaves as hands in the assignment "Potted Flowers" given by his teacher. Instead of being praised, this magical fantasy was severely beaten by the teacher, which almost caused the artist to die at an early age. Teachers' amiable attitude, equal and gentle language, and timely encouragement, praise, and patient guidance and help are not only conducive to cultivating students' true feelings, forming a healthy mentality for students, but also stimulating students' interest in learning.

5. Use field sketching to stimulate students’ interest in learning art

The countryside is a vast world. The colorful world of blue sky and white clouds, mountains and rivers, strange peaks and beautiful ridges, red flowers and green leaves, fish in the water, birds in the air, and rainbows in the sky provides rich materials for rural children to discover and appreciate beauty. Field sketching is the class that students are most interested in. Many things are just taught by the teacher, how to choose the scene, how to compose the picture, which pictures are needed and which pictures are not, and then let the students complete the homework. If they work behind closed doors, the students will not be able to express anything. In order to express something realistically, students must have on-the-spot experience and observe carefully, because art comes from life. Take students to nature, let them listen, see, touch, and feel, and try to express and express directly with colors. Let them experience beauty in a real environment, which greatly stimulates their interest in learning, enhances their perception, and improves their painting ability.

Conclusion:

In short, to stimulate students' interest in learning, our front-line art teachers need to continue to work hard. We look forward to our teaching environment getting better and better, as long as we are good at exploring and utilizing the unique natural conditions in rural areas to create a relaxed and harmonious learning atmosphere for students, so that rural children can receive more art knowledge and be influenced by more Influenced by beauty, art teaching in rural primary schools will definitely bring rural children a more beautiful blue sky.
