How to express the letter to the teacher in kindergarten with pictures

1. Question raising

Painting is a part of art teaching. It is a visual language for emotional enlightenment, emotional communication and emotional expression. In the teaching of painting in kindergartens, teaching activities have always been carried out in the teaching mode of teachers drawing children to imitate, ignoring the fact that painting is an expression of children's cognition, emotion and experience. The basic teaching model is: "show demonstrations - explain and demonstrate - children practice - evaluate". Regarding this overly rigid teaching model, the paintings drawn by children are often the same, and what is cultivated are "little wooden people" who can only imitate but lack creativity. Teaching evaluation is often based on whether the drawings are realistic or not. The new "Outline" positions painting teaching as "independent painting". It highlights that children's painting is an autonomous activity, free from forced intervention by teachers, they enjoy freedom of thought and operation, and can exert their initiative and creativity. In order to overcome the educational deficiencies of closed and frame-based teaching, so that painting teaching can be more conducive to the cultivation of creative ability, so that every child can grow into a natural child who can think, be creative, full of confidence, and have the courage to express, we have carried out training on children's painting. Research on creativity cultivation is very necessary.

2. Cultivate children’s interest in painting and stimulate their desire to create

Children are little angels, and their creativity in art is unlimited. It is easy for them to show spontaneous enthusiasm and interest in artistic activities, but this spontaneous interest is often emotional and mostly superficial. It is easy to stay at the level of "fun" and "I like" and is easy to transfer. with fluctuations. The purpose of stimulating interest in painting art education is to internalize children's original interest orientation, expand and extend superficial interests, and raise them to a certain level of deep motivation. Transform the superficial enthusiasm into the driving force to actively engage in painting and art activities, making it an active participant.

1. Use different tools, materials, and methods to attract children and stimulate their interest in painting.

American psychologists pointed out that "the best stimulation for young children is their interest in the material they are learning." In art activities, teachers must find ways to stimulate children's strong interest so that children can maintain strong curiosity and strong desire for knowledge. Different drawing tools are one of the ways to improve children's interest in drawing. For example: different drawing tools include: pens, paper balls, cotton swabs, seals, different parts of the hand, etc. Pens include: oil pastels, watercolor pens, chalk, water pens, brushes, row pens, etc. Different papers include: white paper, colored cardboard, rice paper, sandpaper, etc. Painting techniques using oil pastels include: thick coating, over-toning, overlapping scraping, line drawing, etc. Flexible use of different tools and techniques in teaching can stimulate children's curiosity and interest in painting, constantly prompting them to transform their superficial enthusiasm into actively engaging in painting art activities, becoming active participants, and laying a good foundation for the formation of creative personality. the basis of.

2. Choose rich and age-appropriate content to increase children’s interest in painting.

Interesting painting content can mobilize children's enthusiasm and creativity in painting. It will keep children's attention and happy learning mood during painting activities. Therefore, when choosing teaching content, you should choose things that are familiar and interesting to children, or content that is novel, interesting, and novel. For example, when I was teaching a small class, CCTV broadcast "The Adventures of Little Carp", and the children were very interested in it. I used "The Adventures of Little Carp" as the content. The children not only drew likenesses, but also drew details and plots. . After finishing the drawing, my interest continued, and I even said that the teacher would draw Crayon Shin-chan and Chibi Maruko-chan next time...

2. In the guided evaluation, stimulate children's interest in painting.

The new "Outline" defines the function of kindergarten education evaluation as "a necessary means to understand the suitability and effectiveness of education, adjust and improve work, promote the development of each child, and improve the quality of education." It is necessary to avoid focusing only on performance skills or the results of artistic activities, while ignoring children’s emotional experience and attitude tendencies during the activities. "So in real painting situations, the evaluation of children should play a positive role in hinting and supporting. Even if a child's painting is outrageous, as long as his painting has its own storyline, he should be actively affirmed and given reasonable guidance to stimulate his interest and desire in painting. Don't focus on "like" and "unlike".

When evaluating children's art works, as long as the image of the work reaches the level of "basic image", its shape is successful and should be understood and recognized. In addition, teachers should analyze more whether the things represented in the works are rich, whether there are children's experiential thinking and creative imagination, whether the works reflect good personality, and whether they are serious, bold and confident.

3. Cultivate intellectual skills and improve children’s creative expression of “beauty”

Painting is inseparable from cognitive activities such as perception, observation and imagination, as well as graphics. , color and other symbolic media. A good combination of these two aspects constitutes intellectual skills. This guidance method that combines painting skills with intelligence can improve children's painting expressiveness and is the basis for cultivating children's painting creativity.

1. Enhance children’s perception of external things through seeing, touching, listening, speaking, and thinking, and use lines and graphics to express feelings.

Children’s thinking is concrete image thinking, and children are usually required to gradually accumulate knowledge and skills in their daily lives. (1) In and outside the classroom, teachers can purposefully and plannedly let children see, listen, talk, think, and draw. For example: let children practice drawing squares. You can take out specific square things for children to observe, then ask them to talk about their characteristics, think about other things that are square, and then let them draw the square things in their minds. This method can be used for other graphics and line exercises. It can not only practice basic skills but also use children's imagination. At the same time, it reflects children's autonomy and can draw what they want to draw and express what they think. (2) During the daily lunch and snack sessions, children can be allowed to see, touch, taste, talk, listen, think and draw. This kind of lunch painting and snack painting is the result of multiple experiences. Children use independent trial methods to draw, cultivating children's self-confidence in expressing their own emotions and cognition. Then the teacher provides individual guidance, which is more effective.

3. Pay attention to correct demonstration and guidance.

In the past teaching of painting, the teacher's guidance was a demonstration from beginning to end, which failed to highlight the key points and difficulties, and the teaching effect was not good. In order to allow children to master the difficult points of painting and better express themselves, we can use the children's peer demonstration method and the teacher's key and difficult point guidance method.

4. Grasp the characteristics of things and use association training to stimulate children's independent creativity.

(1) In painting, characters, animals, and plants have different dynamics, and the same dynamics can also be painted from different angles. We need to teach children to look for patterns, learn to draw inferences from one example, and master drawing methods with different dynamics and angles. Improve children's painting skills and independent creative expression. For example: when drawing a mouse, the movements include left, right, up, down, front, and back. As long as you grasp the semicircular body characteristics of the mouse and change the direction of the head and tail, you can draw mice with different dynamics, which can make the picture rich and colorful. . The same goes for other animals, people, and plants. As long as you grasp the main characteristics of things, you can draw inferences about other cases. In each specific activity, on the basis of guiding children to master the dynamics, children are allowed to use their association and imagination to stimulate their independent creativity. Instructing children to combine their mastered abilities with their own unique children's painting methods and use them flexibly is the basis for cultivating children's painting creativity.

(2) Express the dynamics and shapes in the game. Children's learning is based on games. Children are usually allowed to observe during games, and then use lines, geometric figures, animals, characters, etc. to express according to children of different ages and performance abilities. Such as the formation of eagles catching chicks, the circle shape of blowing bubbles, etc., to train children's expressive ability.

(3) Guide children to appreciate paintings and improve their perception of painting art creation. Painting is a visual language. Appreciating paintings by famous artists can broaden children's horizons, improve their taste, and accumulate inner skills for painting expression and creation, which can be transferred to their painting creations unconsciously. Appreciate the works of children's companions, let children appreciate and learn from each other, find out the differences between their own paintings and others, talk about what aspects of other people's works are better, what aspects of their own paintings are better, and how to make the pictures better. Okay, let everyone participate in the discussion together, which can effectively maintain the children's endless creative passion.

4. Train divergent thinking and develop children’s imagination and creativity

Divergent thinking is the main component of cultivating creativity. In creative painting activities, teachers should take into account the age characteristics of children. , design some imaginative activities. Inspire, induce and train children to think divergently. Cultivate children's creative thinking and develop creativity.

1. Talk about drawing: For example, when drawing wavy lines, children can be asked to talk about what things can be represented by wavy lines, such as water ripples, ropes, smoke, etc. Let the children imagine and talk about it, and then Draw what you want to draw, and children's thinking will become flexible.

2. Addition, addition, subtraction: For example, what will a circle become by adding a few strokes? What will a circle become if part of it is cut off

3. Change: For example, what will a square robot become if all its square parts are replaced with circles?

4. Add pictures: such as drawing a round baby, children can add pictures freely: round baby blowing bubbles; round baby’s family;

5. Graphic combination: each time Several different shapes for children: such as squares and circles, allowing children to combine them into different things.

5. Create space and opportunities for self-expression to extend children’s imagination and creativity

The "Outline" proposes that self-expression methods include "free expression" and "creative expression" , which reflects the characteristics of children’s self-expression. It includes respecting children's personal will and individual differences, and giving children the freedom to choose the content and method of expression. Teachers are required to provide children with relaxed environmental conditions, maintain a relaxed and harmonious spiritual atmosphere and a time and space for independent expression, and provide them with necessary help and appropriate guidance based on their difficulties and needs. Only under such conditions can children's creativity be better cultivated.

1. Create loose space and time for self-expression.

Teaching children the basic knowledge and basic skills of painting is equivalent to giving them nourishment and ability. Then teachers should actively create a space for children with rich painting tools and materials and a certain amount of time. Let children in a democratic, free and relaxed environment actively combine their own knowledge, freely imagine, freely express their own personality, and create unique pictures.

2. Choose an appropriate theme.

Children’s expression includes “free expression” and “creative expression”. The age characteristics of children determine that their knowledge and experience are limited. Therefore, when choosing painting themes, try to choose themes that are familiar to children, are around them, and are easy to express. For example: beautiful spring, kite flying, amusement park, forest games, my parents and I, etc. When children have experience and understanding, the pictures will be rich and colorful. They are interested in drawing their own feelings and expressing their emotions in the paintings, extending children's imagination and creativity.
