As an important way for preschool children to develop and cultivate their abilities in the future, art education has been widely recognized and valued by people. Then, how is the art education of preschool children reflected in quality education? What is the significance of art education to the development of preschool children?
First of all, we should have a preliminary understanding of the meaning of children's art: children's art refers to extremely simple and primary contents such as painting, handicraft and art appreciation. With its unique visual image and color, it typically shows the beauty of nature and social life, deepens children's understanding of the surrounding world with its vivid image and strong appeal, and can stimulate children's aesthetic concept and modeling wisdom.
At present, preschool education requires children's all-round development, and preschool education is a comprehensive and systematic education. We should let children develop in language, science, art, health and society. Art education is also an important part of children's all-round development. Preschool art education is necessary for children.
Preschool is an important period when people's artistic talent begins to appear, which plays an obvious role in children's art education, and art education is the main content of art education. Now many art schools are also art majors. The improvement of preschool children's aesthetic ability plays a fundamental role in his spiritual quality and cultural accomplishment throughout his life. For example, the artistic appreciation of "national costume dolls" not only makes children know continuous patterns and contrasting colors, but also makes them know that there are many ethnic minorities in China, and their costumes are colorful. The effect of this analogy is obvious to all, and it is what we expect.
Art education is the education of cultivating sentiment. A work of art can not only express children's innocence, but also reflect their different personalities. From the works of art, we can see that some children are bold, active, enthusiastic and sensitive, while others are dull, cowardly and lack independence. Therefore, teachers can influence the formation and development of children's personality by observing children's artistic works. Art education can also develop children's intelligence. According to research, the left half of the human brain is abstract thinking, and the right half deals with the whole image information. Now some parents and teachers attach importance to words and numbers. These educational contents make children's left brain overburdened and their right brain insufficiently exercised. This phenomenon is not conducive to the normal and harmonious development of young children. Art education is to inspire and induce children to perceive the shape and structure of things with interesting and novel stimuli, which is conducive to developing the right brain through imagination and thinking in images.
Art education can also cultivate children's observation, imagination and operational ability. Because observation is the basis of understanding things; Imagination is the process of recombining external things and creating new images. Operation is a way of expression and a cognitive process. Children can use the three flexibly when drawing. Art activity is a kind of visual art activity. Before drawing or doing manual work, children should first observe the objects to be represented, such as shape, structure, color, proportion and spatial position. Let them leave a clear impression in their minds and then perform by memory and imagination. The cultivation of this observation ability is very important for children's art and even a person's life development. For example, if the big class draws "Spring", we can play the game "Where is Spring" first. The teacher inspired the children to look for spring in the sky, flowers and lawns. Children also recite poems about spring while drawing their own things, so that they will show full imagination, rich emotions, high thinking enthusiasm and strong operational ability in the creative process.
Art teaching activities are also a good form to cultivate children's creativity. I think it is necessary to emphasize the cultivation of children's creativity in art teaching activities. The development of children's creativity depends on strong curiosity, strong interest, rich imagination, flexible thinking ability and tenacious perseverance and other intellectual and non-intellectual factors to achieve good development results at the same time. Art education activities can provide children with the best opportunity to discover and create in a happy mood, and provide favorable conditions such as cultivating perseverance. The fundamental significance of children's art education lies in promoting the formation of children's good personality quality through children's creative art activities and laying a good foundation for children's all-round development.
In the field of art education, the psychological development level of preschool children determines that they are created by imagination. With the help of art, production art and game activities, children combine imagination with real life in their own unique way, and express their feelings, experiences and seek common ground while reserving differences from the heart. This is childlike interest. The expression of childlike interest in artistic works is also the ultimate goal of preschool education research.
We should abandon the narrow view of prejudice, which is not only for teachers, but also for parents. We should not think that art is just a skill, but should deeply understand the significance of art education. From the psychological point of view, art is helpful to develop people's logical thinking and image thinking, especially to enlighten children's minds, and it is one of the most effective means to train the right brain function and creativity. For children themselves, they are better at expressing and expressing their thoughts and feelings in the form of painting. Our ancestors also started our civilization from hieroglyphics. Therefore, children's art education can explore children's creative potential and stimulate and cultivate their creativity. Therefore, we should adopt new methods and new models, step out of imitation learning, and consciously cultivate and exercise children's creativity.
Therefore, for children, art education cannot be ignored. Education in other disciplines also has its own functions. It is wrong to think that it is useless to teach children to draw, sing and dance. It is better to teach more reading, writing and arithmetic. Let children develop healthily and comprehensively in a happy childhood, which is what our teachers and parents hope and should work hard. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct art teaching activities for preschool children.
Children's art education is closely related to other subjects in kindergarten, which promotes and complements each other. For example, the teaching of common sense and language provides a foundation for art to know and understand things, and the content reflected by artistic activities in turn plays a role in repeating, consolidating and improving other disciplines. This strengthens the understanding of knowledge and the mastery of skills.
In short, cultivating preschool children's interest in painting from an early age and letting them master simple art knowledge and skills will be of great benefit to their future study and work.
