First, make effective use of local resources and carry out artistic activities.
1. Get out of the classroom, get close to nature and feel the beauty of nature.
Mr. Chen Heqin said: "Living rural education should use living textbooks, not dead books." The rich and diverse natural resources in rural areas determine that kindergarten art education should pursue "vividness" in educational content and form. Likou Central Kindergarten is located in Yuanhe Park, which has beautiful natural scenery. I actively guide children to observe the scenery around them, look for beauty in the familiar environment, appreciate beauty in painting and create beauty.
In spring, everything recovers, the grass begins to lean out of its head, the branches grow buds, and the flowers rush to open. In this spring season, we lead our children to the woods to look for budding grass, observe the blooming of flower buds, breathe the breath of spring, and let them paint the joy of life with brushes. In summer, everywhere is full of vitality. You see, the young trees are getting taller every day, the silkworm babies are coming out and the garlic is beginning to sprout. We encourage them to record these changes with pictures; Autumn means a bumper harvest. We took the children to the orchard to see the round and big fruits covered with branches. Let them pick, taste and feel the joy of labor and harvest. So as to stimulate their desire to create and draw real and vivid works. In winter, when the northwest wind blows, the children look for Grandpa Dong. They found Grandpa Dong in snowflakes, in icy rivers, on frosty land, and so on. The changes and fun throughout the year stimulate children's endless imagination and creativity, and there are teaching materials everywhere in nature. It can not only stimulate children's interest and motivation in learning, but also make their learning have a direct perception and understanding and an internalized environment. More importantly, it can cultivate children's pursuit of beautiful things in nature, deepen their understanding of beauty, and be influenced by beauty at the same time.
2. The application of local materials in various artistic activities.
(1) Carry out various color art activities.
Children have a strong curiosity. They all like flowers and plants in nature and are particularly sensitive to colors. They use bold colors, bright and bright, especially in small classes. They like cheerful and bright color games, so they respect children's personality and carry out various color activities to cultivate children's perception and creativity in color.
① Dyeing activities
In the dyeing activities of rural natural objects, we use pigments to dye branches, leaves and white petals in nature by painting, dipping and dyeing, and then cut several materials together. In dyeing activities, children are highly involved, give full play to their imagination and exercise their hands-on ability.
② Stone painting
Stones are common in nature. We used the stones we picked up to make the children paint boldly. In this process, children give full play to their imagination. Some people say they draw people, some say robots, some say cookies, some say bread ... Children boldly show their imagination and express their feelings in games of different colors.
③ Friction
Rubbing uses the natural texture of natural objects and boldly rubbings with colors. In the activity, children use various kinds of vegetable slices to make bold rubbings, which not only makes them feel the fun of playing color games, but also gives full play to their infinite creativity and imagination by talking, thinking and doing actions.
④ painting
When the flowers bloom and fall, we can pick up the petals (petals should be the right size, such as rose petals and magnolia petals) and spell out the shape of the flowers on the paper. After spraying, a hazy flower pops up on the paper; A few scattered petals are more poetic and imaginative works after being painted with color. When autumn leaves fall, we can pick them up and put them together into various patterns for children to paint. Such as: willow leaves become dragonflies; Maple leaves are put into goldfish; You can also put small animals with different shapes together with various leaves. Autumn is a harvest season. We can collect peanut shells, loofah seeds and so on to paint.
(2) Using natural materials to carry out collage art activities.
There are many magical resources in nature, which are not only colorful, but also have their unique shapes. Therefore, we fully analyzed and studied the natural characteristics of these natural objects, and carried out collage activities. For example, in the decorative painting of "pasting leaves" and "pasting seeds", we apply various corn kernels, beans, wheat, peanuts, straws, green bristlegrass and leaves to decoration, and make beautiful clothes, small bags and headdresses by pasting, painting, cutting keys and tearing, and decorate various vegetables and crops into various small animals. Earrings and bracelets made of sweet potato petioles all contain children's imagination, creativity and practical ability. The children learned the skills of cutting, grouping, pasting, pasting, tearing and drawing in the operation, which not only improved their observation, creativity, expressiveness and finger flexibility, but also cultivated their aesthetic taste.
3. Fantasy, carry out plastic arts activities.
"For children, art is a game. Only when children get happy and pleasant experiences from it can art truly become the needs of children. " Modeling activities of natural objects are children's favorite activities. They are interested in the "traces" of their actions in the process of cutting, carving, rowing, tying, inserting and dialing, which seem clumsy and searching, so that they can get happiness and development in constant fiddling and adjustment. We use all kinds of "shells" to organize children to give full play to their imagination, decorate shells with dexterous little hands, and piece together the decorated shells into beautiful butterflies. In the "Coriander" theme activity, we organized children to collect and buy all kinds of vegetables. In the process of mutual communication and sharing, children found that vegetables not only have different names, colors and shapes, but also some are like a curved moon, some are like sticks, and some are like pigs ... It's really interesting, so we launched an artistic "vegetable modeling" activity. When children dress up vegetables, for example, if you cut a cucumber with a blade and dig it out, it will become a crocodile with a wide mouth, put two big ears on a radish and become a cute fat pig, turn an old ginger into a bird, turn an eggplant into a lively and lovely little penguin, and tie an onion with a bow to become a little girl ... It's really interesting. Earrings and bracelets made of sweet potato petioles all contain children's imagination, creativity and practical ability. The children learned the skills of cutting, grouping, pasting, pasting, tearing and drawing in the operation, which not only improved their observation, creativity, expressiveness and finger flexibility, but also cultivated their aesthetic taste.
4. Make full use of local characteristics and carry out artistic activities.
The "Outline" points out: guide children to make toys and handicrafts with things around them or waste materials to beautify their lives or carry out other activities. Likou is a famous furniture city, where furniture is the most common thing, and furniture is also the most common thing for children. Wood chips, shavings and other leftover bits and pieces from furniture processing plants have become the "treasures" in the eyes of our kindergarten teachers. We use scraps to make shadow puppets and decorate our promenade. Using sawdust, through dyeing, create sawdust paintings; Draw on sand with chalk, etc. Children use the collected boxes of various sizes to make different furniture and decorate them with colored paper, brushes, glue, hair roots, etc. , thus forming a furniture city designed by children themselves. Through this series of activities, the children's abilities in all aspects have been developed, and they have also experienced the fun of success, and they have also learned something about the furniture city with the characteristics of Likou.
Second, the effective use of local materials should be paid attention to.
1. Material collection
Do not collect materials temporarily when necessary. We set up a "local data collection box" at the door of the class to sort out, classify and collect the data in the box regularly with the children, so as to provide them at any time when needed, and at the same time, it can also provide great convenience for teachers to carry out activities such as theme teaching.
2. Pay attention to respecting children in activities.
The outline points out that artistic activities are an important way for children to express themselves. In the activity, it is not difficult to find that children's creative works are various and sometimes seem to have nothing to do with the theme, but children can happily express "what is this" and "what is that" in the creative process. Therefore, on the one hand, teachers should be tolerant enough to allow children to play freely and make mistakes, on the other hand, they should communicate with children in time to understand their thoughts and actively stimulate their self-expression.
3. Material selection should pay attention to the principle of safety and suitability.
(1) Safety should be paid attention to when selecting materials, and certain screening should be carried out. For example, children collect leaves of various shapes and colors, and there is a plant leaf that can easily cut children's hands with thorns, so the materials should be selective.
(2) Rural local materials are seasonal and should be collected after collection; It is suggested that materials should be cleaned and disinfected strictly before collection, and then materials such as seeds, shells, dried fruits, etc. should be placed in categories so as to be taken out and used in time when needed next time.
(3) Teachers should always check and replace local materials, especially vegetables and fruits, so as not to rot.
4. Put it on demand.
In the delivery of materials, teachers should pay attention to the actual level of children and deliver materials at different levels. For example, children in small classes should pay attention to making dolls of vegetables and fruits according to their age characteristics during paste activities; Children in large classes choose fine and difficult activities such as knitting and pasting seeds, and also require children to cooperate with others to complete a work independently in order to experience the joy of success.
5. Synchronization of materials and environment
In the activities, we should not only pay attention to supporting children's activities, but also create synchronous environmental space for children. Such as the exhibition space of children's works, the corner environment of children's operation, the classroom environment and so on. Let the children be immersive, get creative inspiration and show satisfaction.
Artistic activities with local characteristics contain a lot of wisdom and vitality, and their materials come from children's lives. The rational use of local resources in artistic activities not only stimulates children's curiosity and thirst for knowledge, but also develops children's imagination and creativity. At the same time, it also broadens our teaching ideas, cultivates children's beautiful feelings of loving their hometown and nature, and makes the artistic activities in our garden more contemporary and local.
