[Abstract] Everyone has the right to pursue beauty, and children are no exception. However, in our children's art education, we can't judge the success of our art education only by a painting or a handmade work. It should be said that a lot of beauty is subtle. We believe that as long as children can exert their imagination and creativity and strive to complete the works they think are beautiful, our teachers should respect the works of these young authors and don't easily interrupt their purest thinking.

[Abstract] Everyone has the authority to pursue beauty, and children are no exception. But in our children's art education, we can't just order a painting or a manual. Whether our art education is successful or not should be said that a lot of beauty is imperceptible. We believe that as long as children can exert their imagination and creativity and strive to complete works that they think are beautiful, our respected teachers should go to see the authors of these small works, which will not easily break the purest thinking of children.

Children are immature, independent and rapidly developing individuals, and their cognitive and emotional personality has obvious age characteristics. Imagine? It is the wings that nature gives to children, which put on gorgeous colors for their childhood; It is a beacon shining everywhere, projecting the active light of life to the unknown world of the novel. Every child is unique, and a hundred children have a hundred worlds to imagine. They graffiti, perform and sing freely in their own imaginary kingdom. Aesthetics is a unique activity of human beings. The demand for aesthetics is a high-level demand of human beings. Everyone loves beauty. Both adults and children have a psychological tendency to love beauty, and they all have the desire and demand to pursue beauty. This demand is particularly strong in children. In early childhood, the form of painting is a favorite way for children. In artistic activities, we emphasize children's individual expression, advocate originality, and pay more attention to the development of children's creativity and imagination.
The new Outline points out that teachers should provide opportunities for children to express themselves freely, encourage children to express their feelings, understanding and imagination boldly in different artistic forms, respect each child's imagination and creation, affirm and accept their unique aesthetic feelings and expressions, and share the happiness they create? . Tao Xingzhi, a famous educator, attaches great importance to children's development. He emphasized the liberation of children and educators. Should become a child? Join children's life, discover their imagination, and further explore their imagination, so that children can learn and create freely and actively. Therefore, it is of great significance for teachers to give full play to children's imagination, cultivate children's thinking ability and improve children's artistic accomplishment in art activities. Then, how can we better promote the development of children's aesthetic creativity and imagination in artistic activities?
1 Excavate the aesthetic source of artistic activities
1. 1 Let nature be the source of children's creativity and imagination.
Mr. Chen Heqin thinks? Nature and society are our living teaching materials. ? He advocates letting children? Go to nature to learn directly and experience directly. ? Let nature stimulate children's creativity. Therefore, teachers should often take children out of the activity room, see beautiful flowers, touch trees and observe small animals, so that children's interest will be activated at once and creativity will follow. For example, when children draw a forest, they can lead them to observe all kinds of trees outdoors, and then let them freely say what kind of trees, trunks, leaves and branches they have seen, and reproduce the observed objects through their memories. Teachers can also summarize through pictures, slides, videos and other multimedia means, and connect them with geometric figures, exaggeration and deformation, so that children can understand the differences between various trees. However, with art activities, teachers can encourage children to create a work about forests according to their own imagination. For example, guiding children to imitate Borlaug's splash paintings will produce accidental artistic effects and stimulate and arouse children's creative interest. As a result, the teacher will find that the children have drawn strange trees. Some people might say? How can there be such a tree? . So what! Isn't there a saying: I'm afraid I can't do it, I'm afraid I can't think of it On this basis, teachers can also encourage children to add pictures to the painted forest with their peers, which will make children more interested. Dynamic scenes can also be clever monkeys, mighty lions, tigers and beautiful peacocks drawn by children through their own imagination. Seeing these lovely animals, children express their image more actively.
In nature, children actively explore knowledge and participate in activities. It can be seen that nature not only increases children's knowledge and experience, but also promotes their intellectual development and enriches their whole spiritual world. The famous French artist Rodin also famously said:? Nature is always beautiful? . Natural scenery is diverse, colorful, diverse and beautiful. Nature is the best classroom for children's painting activities. Appreciating the scenery of nature opens the door for children to imagine, discover and create beauty.
1.2 Improve children's imagination and creativity through works appreciation.
Children's paintings are full of individuality, and there are many parts worth learning from each other, which can stimulate children's imagination and creative potential. Therefore, it is very important for teachers to guide children to learn from their peers purposefully. Specific practices: introduce children's creative performance in a timely manner, and guide children to imagine and create on the basis of learning. After the children have finished their works, the teacher can show all the children's works, guide the children to enjoy watching and find advantages in other people's works.
Appreciating and observing the works of masters is also a common form of children's painting. Let children get in touch with classics from an early age and have a direct dialogue with masters, so that children can have a high starting point, broaden their horizons and be more sensitive to the perception and choice of beauty. At the same time, it can also let children absorb the composition, lines, painting methods, the use of colors, the overall sense of the picture, and even some artistic language of the masters to stimulate artistic imagination and creativity. Where is it? The works of masters such as Gao, Picasso and Monet should often appear in every corner of children's classroom, so that children can cultivate their aesthetic ability in a subtle way. Of course, it is 2 1 century, and the rapidly developing Suzhou is full of opportunities. The most common activity in this modern ancient city is art exhibition. Teachers can take this opportunity to organize children to visit, or ask parents to lead children to visit, so that children can discover and discover in the ocean of art, help children broaden their horizons, enrich their knowledge and stimulate their imagination.
2. Construct the aesthetic way of artistic activities
2. 1 Cultivate children's imagination through various activities.
Thinking is a verb, that is, using your brain and thinking hard; An image is an image, a video or a picture. Imagination is the second vision, a subjective and spiritual thing, and the space of imagination is infinite. Imagination is not limited by knowledge of nature, scientific laws, rules and regulations, and it can also break the real limitations in real images. It is by no means a mechanical copy of reality. Teachers' guidance is very important, and teachers can't set an example. Does it look like it? To evaluate children's works. The number of imaginative elements in children's works depends largely on the teacher's evaluation. The teacher takes the image as the standard this time, and the children's paintings will be guided next time? Like what? Together, I lost my imagination.
It is mentioned in the new "Outline":? According to the development and needs of children, timely and appropriate guidance should be given to expression methods and skills. ? In painting activities, teachers can try to ask questions to make children change their thinking, affirm their imagination and avoid forming rigid and fixed thinking patterns. For example, in the teaching activities of painting the sun, can the teacher ask questions? Are all the suns red? Let the children know that there are seven colors of sunlight. You can see different colors of the sun with different sunglasses. When the children understand and try, the teacher will be sure in time, and they will find that the children choose different colors to draw different suns. Then the teacher can also ask:? Has the sun always had a round face? Children will decorate the shape of the sun as round face, long face, triangular face, trapezoidal face, patterned face, long hair, short hair and curly hair. Let the children expand their imagination and draw exaggerated and unusual images through the teacher's questions to the children. When the teacher affirms the child's imagination, the child will be more exaggerated and the imagination will expand. Therefore, in painting activities, teachers should ask more questions, affirm children more, and guide them to exaggerate, misplace, deform, combine, disrupt and change the realistic image at will, thus sprouting every child's imagination. Children's imagination potential is huge, and their naive childlike interest and unique ideas often give people new enlightenment. Therefore, creating a relaxed environment for children's free expression can not only improve their aesthetic perception and performance skills, but also cultivate their aesthetic creativity.
2.2 Mobilize various senses and cultivate children's imagination and creativity.
To cultivate children's imagination, we must cultivate their sense of concreteness. The so-called sense of concreteness is to turn vague fleeting appearances and fantasies into clear, concrete and permanently preserved images, that is, to show the imagination of the mind concretely. How to be a man? That is to say, writing and drawing. Therefore, teachers can organize various forms of activities to fully mobilize children's various sensory systems.
80% of the information in the human brain comes from vision. Do you see it? It is an important way for children to know the world, and observation in artistic activities is extremely important. Children's imagination and creativity can be further developed by observing objects, reproducing objects, adding pictures, decorating, imagining and coloring.
Let children close their eyes and smell all kinds of smells, imagine while smelling, stimulate their olfactory system, and then express their feelings in various colors through communication. Put objects with different textures and rules in opaque bags, let children touch them, stimulate their tactile system, and then paint boldly under the guidance of teachers. Play a piece of music, let the children listen carefully, stimulate their auditory system, and let the children express their feelings after hearing the music with their painting tools. These attempts will achieve good results, fully mobilize children's curiosity, enthusiasm and desire to explore, and cultivate children's imagination.
Professor of Harvard University in the United States, recognized by Dr. Gardner for children's art education? The role of teachers is basically to provide more active intervention in the early and late stages of natural development, and to give more training and guidance when learning certain artistic skills and techniques? . Therefore, teachers should be based on the correct educational concept, fully reflect the respect for children's wishes, fully reflect children's sense of autonomy, provide children with learning places, respect each child's ideas, provide them with their favorite materials, and help them understand the learning process. Guiding the situation, stimulating children's interest in learning art and giving full play to their creative thinking ability can greatly improve their painting level and enthusiasm for learning. Only when teachers respect each child's feelings, ideas and creations, affirm their unique aesthetic and expressive ways, and share the happiness they have created together, can children's enthusiasm for independent innovation and learning be fully stimulated in children's art activities.
