How does dance promote the development of children's aesthetic comprehension?
The purpose of children's art education is to cultivate sound people. As a course of children's art education, kindergarten dance teaching plays an important role in improving children's physical coordination ability, cultivating children's aesthetic ability, developing children's imagination and creativity, and promoting the harmonious development of children's body and mind. For children in small classes, they love singing, dancing and dancing to music, but they are not interested in boring study and often lack patience. Therefore, as a kindergarten dance teacher, we should grasp the psychological characteristics of small class children, choose content and methods suitable for their age characteristics, guide them to learn dance in a relaxed and happy environment and promote their all-round development. Now I will say from the following aspects. First, stimulate children's interest in learning dance with vivid and interesting tips. As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. Children can be very attentive to the activities they are interested in and have the desire to continue learning. Long-term practice in dance activities will make children feel boring, especially in small classes. On the one hand, it is their nature to be fun and active. If they train blindly and suppress excessively, they will lose interest and even get bored. On the other hand, they are easily infected by the outside world and have a strong ability to accept new things. Therefore, whether the content of dance activities is lively and interesting and whether it can infect children is an important aspect that arouses children's interest in learning. 1, choose music that children can easily feel as material to arouse children's resonance. Music can stimulate people's good feelings and cultivate people's temperament, which plays an important role in human life. Similarly, it is also the key to dance activities. Lively and lively music often resonates with children and drives them to express their beautiful feelings. In the dance activities, some children's familiar rhymes and songs with distinct rhythms are played, which can infect children to swing with the music and let them express their feelings about music with actions. For example, when they hear a "lullaby", they will follow the rhythm of music to put their baby to sleep like a mother; You will laugh when you hear cheerful music; When you hear sad music, you will frown; The movements and expressions will change with the music. Such activities make them feel happy to learn dance. 2. Let children imitate with image actions to stimulate their desire to learn. Small class children imitate well and often accumulate experience through imitation. Therefore, in dance activities, on the one hand, I choose music that can resonate with children as dance material; On the other hand, according to the music content, design image actions for children to imitate and let children learn in imitation. For example, I designed the duckling's walking action for the song "Duckling", so that children can imitate the way duckling walks. When children are interested in playing with ducklings, I ask: What else can ducklings do? What can I do? At this time, some children made the duckling call. Although the duckling swim is immature, it is the result of their study and thinking. In this way, children learn more skills in the imitation experience gained, which invisibly stimulates their desire to learn. 3. Seize the opportunity to integrate education into daily life. Children in small classes are naive and lively, and their emotions are easily exposed. They will sing and dance inadvertently. At this time, teachers will intervene appropriately, seize the opportunity and guide reasonably, which will extend their interest. For example, in morning activities, kindergartens often play music. At this moment, I saw some children dancing to the music. I went over and said, "You are great. You dance really well. If we add the actions we have learned, it will be more beautiful. " After that, the children began to study hard with the teacher. It can be seen that as long as we seize the opportunity of education and make rational use of it, every bit of life can be the source of stimulating children's interest in learning. Second, create a learning atmosphere, improve performance skills and enhance performance awareness. Children in small classes are young, easily distracted and weak in all aspects. Their understanding of dance content is often emotional and often lacks expressiveness. Therefore, it is very important to create a learning atmosphere suitable for children's age characteristics, so that children can intuitively understand the content of dance, thus improving their performance skills and enhancing their performance awareness. 1, create a learning atmosphere and help children accumulate experience. In the process of learning dance, we need to have certain expressive force, which requires learners to have certain perceptual experience, and the stimulation of external environment can help us accumulate experience. Therefore, in life, I pay attention to using environmental factors to create a learning atmosphere and guide children to observe and experience, such as: let them feel the charm of dance while enjoying the finished dance; Let them experience different emotions such as happiness and sadness in different situations and help them accumulate perceptual experience. The stimulation of the external environment has a great influence on them, laying the foundation for better learning dance. 2. Create dances according to children's experience to help children understand the dance content and enhance their expressive force. Children are young, lack rational understanding of things, can't understand the content of music and dance abstractly, and it is difficult to show it vividly. Faced with this problem, I create dances according to my children's existing life experience in dance activities to make them easy to understand. For example, the dance "Stir-fried leeks and green onions": I let my children be small chefs, cutting vegetables for a while, cooking for a while, and smelling incense for a while; In the study of the dance "Puppy Darling", I let the children perform the barking of the puppy, the puppy gnawing at the bone, the puppy rolling on the ground and so on. Let the content of learning be close to children's life, and let children perform on the basis of understanding, so that they can learn very easily, move more flexibly, perform vividly and vividly, and gradually enhance their expressive force. 3. Let children easily master the basic skills in the game situation. Children in small classes lack patience when learning the basic skills of dance. Teachers blindly pursue the effect of practice, which will make them lose interest in learning and even get bored, but they like rhythm, imitation and games. In view of these characteristics of children, I run the game situation through dance activities. For example, standing training, I regard the child as a big tree. Inspired by the teacher's language, the children felt upright, and then I said: The teacher is a bird, and they make friends with an upright tree, so that their exercises have continuity in the situation. In the flexible practice of dance, children often have a fear of difficulties and are afraid of suffering, so I will change the practice into the form of games. For example, cross-practice, I will let the children be chickens and birds. When children are afraid of difficulties, I will say: chickens can't eat, they are hungry. Let's see who can eat enough, who can fly high, and so on. And use the game situation to encourage children to overcome difficulties and let them practice easily and happily. Third, appreciate with children's eyes, pay attention to personality development and promote children's improvement at different levels. In life, children often love to perform, and often hear them say to me: Teacher, I have learned a new movement, and the teacher dances well. They trust their teachers and hope to be recognized and praised by them. As dance teachers, we can't treat them with the eyes of adults and obliterate their love for beauty and good performance. On the contrary, we should actively encourage them and promote the improvement of children at different levels. 1, being good at observation and discovery, deeply understanding children dance's activities, and being good at observation and discovery can help us understand children better and tap their imagination. For example, the dance activity "Where is Spring? I asked the children to pose by themselves and found that many children like to make small flowers, but one child is different from others, so I said, do you smell the flowers? The child nodded, and I praised her for her brains. With my encouragement, the child's thinking became active. She came up with new contents and made many new shapes. 2. Learn to appreciate with children's eyes. We all know that the purpose of kindergarten dance teaching is not to cultivate dancers, but to cultivate dancers' sensitivity and understanding of beauty, cultivate dancers' temperament and promote all-round development. Therefore, in dance activities, teachers' evaluation of children is very important. For example, after learning a small step, a child came to me to perform. Look, this is a bird flying. Do I look like it? She is not as elegant, skillful and expressive as an adult, but she uses what she has learned, beats with her heart and shows it with her heart. This is beauty. After getting the teacher's affirmation, practice more seriously, and at the same time, it can infect other children. Understanding and appreciating children with children's eyes can bring us closer to their world, discover their bright spots and promote their better development. 3. Face all, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, and promote the development of children at different levels. Every child has his own unique side. In dance activities, some children have a good sense of music and are good at performing; Some children have a slightly poor sense of rhythm, are timid and shy of performance; Some children have good physical fitness and flexibility; Some are just the opposite. Faced with these situations, as dance teachers, we should face all children on the basis of understanding children and pay attention to teaching them in accordance with their aptitude. For example, I have different requirements for children with different abilities in the practice of basic skills. If they are flexible, ask them to be in place. On the contrary, they are only required to do it conscientiously and consciously. And often let them do vertical comparison, avoid horizontal comparison, let them find their progress and promote their improvement at different levels. In a word, dance is a physical art and a way for people to express their feelings. People can appreciate beauty, feel beauty and express beautiful feelings in singing and dancing. Happiness is the most important thing in the inner world of small class children, but their understanding of dance is superficial. As a dance teacher in kindergarten, we should make dance activities a kind of game in children's eyes, let them learn with interest and pleasure, and guide them to feel, appreciate and express their feelings. Make children grow up healthily physically and mentally and promote all-round development.
