How to teach middle school children to draw?

There are heuristic teaching, comprehensive material application teaching and imitation teaching in teaching middle school children to draw.

Heuristic teaching:

Teachers should fully respect students' dominant position in education and teaching, at the same time, let students feel that they are the protagonists of art learning and art creation, and they are the "small masters" in the classroom, so as to enhance children's interest and enthusiasm in art learning and enhance children's participation in the classroom. Teachers should optimize teaching methods and contents, conduct open teaching and give play to children's subjective initiative.

For example, when teaching the subject of children's gouache "Shrimp", we can use the creation method of palm rubbing. The teacher explained to the children the demonstration of rubbing the shrimp body with the curved shape of the side of the hand, and then let the children try the rubbing of different sizes and shapes of shrimp themselves.

Then, guide children to be creative and draw eyes, whiskers, shrimp tongs and legs for each shrimp. Draw aquatic plants, scallops and other marine life in the blank part of the picture. Heuristic teaching methods can give children plenty of imagination, play freely and draw distinctive works.

Teaching of comprehensive materials:

Teachers and parents can prepare a variety of painting tools and materials for preschool children, which are not limited to common art materials such as brushes, paints, cardboard and scissors, but also can be expanded according to daily life. For example, twigs, cotton sticks, colored plastic paper, raffia grass, wool loops and so on can all be used as good materials for children's art creation.

It is very proud and meaningful for children to encourage them to collect art materials independently, combine all kinds of comprehensive materials by cutting, pasting, kneading and rubbing, and exert their imagination and creativity to complete a unique art work.

Imitation teaching:

Let children exert their creativity to create paintings. The imitation teaching method to be introduced here is not an ordinary "copying". Imitation teaching method includes painting imitation and hand-made imitation. For painting imitation, teachers can appreciate an excellent work with children.

For example, appreciate Van Gogh's Starry Sky, and analyze and discuss the characteristics of the work in composition and color. Then let children exert their individuality and creativity and independently complete a painting with the same theme. For hand-made imitation, teachers can show their own handmade works to students, and then let children freely create a handmade work by using materials and tools.
