2. Through the research of this topic, actively explore the rules and methods of kindergarten art education, and find an effective way to cultivate children's artistic expression ability.
Third, the theoretical basis
1, Marx's aesthetic education view: Art has indisputable significance for the formation of human perceptual richness and the development of human potential.
2. Psychologist Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory holds that people's needs can be divided into five levels, of which the highest level of needs is "self-realization needs". And people's demand for beauty is one of the needs of self-realization. In life, only a few people can get the need of self-realization through artistic creation activities, while most people can only realize themselves through artistic appreciation, artistic edification and artistic infection.

Seven. Steps of research The research time of this topic is three years, which is carried out in combination with the characteristics of young children, and is promoted layer by layer and deepened continuously.
It is divided into the following stages:
The first stage (March, 2006-June, 2006) is the stage of establishing the project name, writing the plan and applying for approval;
The second stage (September 2006-June 2008) was organized and implemented, and the research stage was carried out;
The third stage (2008.9-2008. 12) is the evaluation, summary and demonstration stage.
Eight, the main process of research This topic has undergone three revisions from the formulation of the plan to the organization and implementation. Under the guidance of the leaders of the district education department, in the process of implementation, we mainly carried out the following work.
1. The beautiful art education environment creates conditions for the cultivation of children's artistic expression.
(1) Create an artistic atmosphere and let children feel the art. As an "invisible language", the environment in which children live is an important way to educate children in art. Therefore, we tap the potential value of art education in the surrounding environment and make full use of various environmental factors in kindergartens to create a living and learning environment full of artistic beauty for children. Kindergarten is full of artistic atmosphere, no matter from the creation of the big environment or the layout of the class environment. When we entered the kindergarten, the words "artistic childhood, poetic homeland" on the theme background wall highlighted our topic. We skillfully designed three subtopics: "a book (literature), a pen (art) and a string of notes (music)" on the theme background wall and garden logo. The three floors of the kindergarten also create different artistic environments: the first floor is the world of literature, the second floor is the palace of art, and the third floor is the stage of music. The characteristic atmosphere of "embroidery", "weaving" and "turning waste into treasure" in each class is also very strong. Living and studying in such an environment, children are always feeling the beauty of art.
(2) Build a bold artistic expression platform for children. As we all know, the key to creating an artistic environment in kindergarten is to make children become designers and creators of the environment and pursue the "dialogue" between the environment and children, so we make full use of the existing space in kindergarten to create a platform for children to express themselves. First of all, on the third floor, we designed a fairy tale theater with a big mouth. The bottom floor is a reading corridor, idiom stories and ancient poetry world, so that children can "taste" it carefully.
There are various manual workshops on the second floor. Each semester, according to the needs of the discipline, different areas are set up, such as the creative area (embroidery and weaving area, creative production area) and the painting area-art room, and children's works embodying various expression techniques in art are displayed under the careful guidance of teachers on soft pages. We put all kinds of materials in these areas according to the theme, so that children can boldly "embroider";
The "Musical Instrument Workshop" and "Big Stage" on the third floor also give full play to their functions, where children can display their talents and enjoy "dancing". Secondly, each class has set up a hands-on area and a performance area for children to show themselves in the game area. The construction of these platforms provides a platform for children to show themselves and express themselves, and opens up unlimited space for children's creative performance.
2. Various teaching measures provide a guarantee for the development of children's artistic expression.
(1) Diversification strategy of teaching content. Art comes from life and is higher than life, which is a manifestation of life. In order to embody the idea that education should not only return to children's life, but also move towards children's life world, in choosing the content of art education, besides ideological, artistic and scientific, we should also pay attention to the following points:
First, the appropriateness of the content, that is, the selected content is close to children's lives, meets children's interests and resonates with children;
Second, the series content First of all, according to the age characteristics of different children, choose different artistic activities. The small class chooses some content with simple content and distinct theme, while the large class chooses some content with performance, maneuverability and profound meaning. Secondly, according to the difficulty of the content and the depth of the goal, it is arranged step by step. In the curriculum, combined with the needs of the subject: Chinese mainly increases literary appreciation, interspersed with some classic fairy tales (such as The Little White Rabbit under the Peach Tree, The Little Match Girl, The Pear Violin, The Golden House is Hidden, and The Radish is Back). ), especially the children's literature works of China famous writer Jin Bo, because his works are very infectious and expressive; Art mainly introduces some folk arts (paper-cutting, printing and dyeing, knitting, embroidery) into our classroom, and at the same time appropriately increases the world famous paintings's "I talk to the master" and "I compare with the master", such as Picasso's "The Face of the Middle Class", "The Dream of the Big Class", Matisse's "Dancing Colors" and Van Gogh's "Sunflowers". Music is mainly to add some classic works with national characteristics to our teaching, such as Beijing Opera, Huangmei Opera and Pingtan.
