The article "Labor ―― the source of human creativity" is the first lesson of the first volume of the compulsory education curriculum standard experimental textbook "Fine Arts" by Shandong Education Press, and it is also a lesson of appreciation and criticism. The overall feature is that the course content has the characteristics of development, creativity and permeability. The author takes textbook education as the basic concept, and combines students' own feelings and life experiences to let students complete the "mind map" and quickly grasp the whimsy that passes by.
First, the preparation stage before class
The preparation stage before class is very important. Teachers should do three things first: making computer courseware; Do a few mind maps; Show the paper and crayons that students use to draw mind maps. At this time, students should collect art works, music, movies, literature and other art forms related to labor.
Second, the teaching process
1. Organize teaching
Teachers can prepare a small game before class, such as playing the song Glory of Labor, so that students can sing along with the music and imagine the beautiful scenes depicted in the music. The intention of doing this is to hope that students can listen to a piece of music with relaxed rhythm and beautiful scenes, and bring it into an imaginary busy labor scene, so as to quickly attract students' attention to the classroom theme and realize the intercommunication between music and art with synaesthesia.
2. Situation import
Ask the students what kind of scene they think of after listening to the music. Some students said that they thought the sun was rising and many flowers were in full bloom. Some students said that they thought of many birds chirping; Some students replied that they thought of many busy people in the field ... The design intention of this link is that the author hopes to guide students into a relaxed and imaginative state through such questions.
Teach new courses
Write the word "labor" on the blackboard first, and then let the students imagine. Seeing these two words, the first thing that comes to mind is what people were busy at that time. Some students said that farmers were working in wheat fields, some students thought that workers were working, and some students said that soldiers were on duty and the staff on the train were working. At this time, the teacher should make a summary, while affirming students' positive thinking, tell them what different people are doing in obscure posts every day, and tell them that working people are respectable people.
Second, let students draw a mind map of "personal views" with the theme of "the most glorious work".
In practice, let students with opposite seats form a group and exchange works with each other, so as to encourage them to find their own bright spots among their classmates and more and wider map branches. The design intention of this link is to make students think on the theme of "the most glorious labor" and let them understand that what anyone does in real life that is beneficial to himself, his family, his friends and society belongs to labor and is worthy of respect.
Third, the design group discusses learning, and then asks students to draw a mind map of "understanding of works".
In practice, we divide the whole class into three groups, namely, blue sky group, land group and seawater group. Each group studied and discussed three works, namely Textile Woman, Rammed Map and Grain. Ask students to discuss mainly from the author, year, painting type, picture content, character treatment, color treatment, plot story, composition and theme of the work. Then let the students take the group as a unit and draw a mind map of "appreciation of works" with the works discussed in this group as the theme. (as shown in the figure below)
Fourth, the exhibition of works.
Each group chooses representatives as commentators, displays the group mind map and explains the contents of the group discussion. The evaluation method is a combination of self-evaluation, student evaluation and teacher evaluation.
Self-evaluation means that group members can freely express their opinions on the highlights and imperfections of the works, so that students in other groups can understand the contents of creative students' mind maps more accurately and timely.
Peer evaluation means that students can evaluate the mind maps of other groups of students. Evaluation can be carried out from the most creative and unique aspects of the work and personal understanding of the theme of the work.
Teachers' comments are teachers' positive comments on students' works, discovering students' bright spots and innovations, and evaluating the works in time and correctly, so that students can feel a sense of accomplishment and pleasure in completing their works and maintain their enthusiasm and motivation for art learning.
The design intention of this link is to fully trust students in this process, so that teachers can avoid pointing fingers to hinder their understanding and creation of works, give correct evaluation to good places in time, and give timely guidance to students with relatively slow thinking response. The evaluation stage is the climax of the whole class, and the enthusiasm can be fully mobilized. When students in a class express their opinions on a work, their nerve cells are actually completely open. At this time, students' ideas will flow like spring water, their enthusiasm for learning will be driven, and the teaching effect will be significantly enhanced.
Fifth, expand and extend.
Through the study of this lesson, ask the students to sum up their speeches and ask if they have learned anything about appreciating works of art and what they have gained. Some students answered that they can appreciate the author, time, painting, picture content, character processing, color processing and so on through learning. When some students were asked whether they had a new knowledge and understanding of labor, they all said that labor was the most glorious.
Third, teaching reflection and summary
In a word, the author gradually sums up from practice that students in Grade One are very sensitive to new things, they are often curious about many things, they are also imaginative and creative, and they are good at expressing themselves in class. These are all things that teachers should guide more in classroom teaching. Taking "Labor ―― the Source of Human Creativity" as an example, the author tries to stimulate students' creative thinking and potential through creating a relaxed and pleasant classroom atmosphere and interactive discussion between teachers and the whole class, fully expand students' imagination, let them enjoy imagination and create happiness in the relaxed and unrestrained painting process, and finally make them like learning and fall in love with art.
