How to Stimulate Children's Positive Emotions in Painting
Abstract: Positive emotion refers to the emotion that children like to participate in artistic activities and can boldly perform artistic expression activities in their favorite way. Children's painting is an artistic activity and an important part of aesthetic education. To stimulate children's interest in art from the emotional point of view and improve their aesthetic ability and lively and cheerful personality, teachers need to cultivate children's positive emotions in painting activities. Emotion is a complex and stable attitude experience of people about whether their social needs are met, such as moral sense, sense of reason, sense of beauty and so on. With the growth of children's age and the development of psychological activities, emotional education is more and more dominant. The new syllabus also clearly puts forward that "emotional education plays an irreplaceable role in art education." Positive emotions can make children feel and understand things correctly; Can promote children's yearning for good things and desire to express; Positive emotions can promote children's bold use of colors, bold expression and imaginative creativity, which is a potential driving force in the process of children's painting. Keywords: Children's painting stimulates positive emotions, which have always existed in the process of children's painting. Positive emotions can stimulate children's interest in expressing beauty and creating beauty, tap their artistic potential and help them improve their performance skills and abilities. In the past, the habit of painting teaching was teacher-centered and only attached importance to children's mastery of knowledge and skills. Usually the teacher's template painting is copied, which masks the children's own creativity. Teachers often ignore whether children are happy and active in painting. Paying attention to the results while ignoring the development of children's own emotional activities and their role in painting is very unfavorable to children's body and mind. The new "Outline" also clearly points out: "Let children like art activities and be able to express their feelings and experiences boldly." "Provide opportunities for free expression and encourage children to boldly express their feelings, understanding and imagination in different artistic forms ..." First, the significance of stimulating positive emotions 1. In children's painting, positive emotions are the internal factors that enrich children's imagination and creativity. Children are naive, curious about everything around them and have a strange imagination. In children's works, the sky, the sun, flowers, trees and so on are full of vitality and become rich and colorful. For example, when listening to a story and imagining drawing "Ten Suns", each child draws ten suns with different colors, shapes and lights according to his own imagination, especially the tenth sun. The story says: As a result, some children painted like sunflowers, and each small grid was painted with the color of the sun. Some children simply painted nine colors, and each color became an unspeakable sun. Every child's imagination is different, the result is different, and the created picture is also changing from time to time. Exaggeration is a common phenomenon in children's paintings. They tend to draw the most things that they see most carefully, impress most and think most important. This is also a kind of creation. Children use their own experience and knowledge to understand, imagine and create. In this process, their thinking is active, their attitude is enthusiastic and their emotions are positive. Otherwise, they will not actively represent the distinctive "sun" and will not replace words with paintings when they encounter difficulties. It can be seen that positive emotions are essential to stimulate children's rich imagination and creativity. 2. With positive emotions, children will be bolder when choosing colors. Observing children's pictures, we will find that they are not limited by the inherent color of objects, and often choose some bright colors they like to express. In large classes, children's colors are richer and more detailed, and gradually approach their inherent colors. They often unconsciously use some kind of "emotional color", which is the expression of children's positive emotions when painting. Children have obvious emotional tendency when using colors. For example, when drawing some imaginary pictures, children often like to draw brightly colored white clouds and the sun, while when drawing "rainy days" and "I am angry", most children don't like it so much, and their emotional experience is not so positive, so they often use gray and blue as the background. This shows that children have a certain understanding of the use of color, coupled with positive emotions, children's choice of color will be bolder. For example, when Zhou painted Sky, he used green and blue as the main colors to show the scene of tornado explosion. Therefore, positive emotions make children bolder in the choice of colors and use brighter and brighter colors. Second, how to stimulate children's positive emotions in painting. Positive emotions play a great role in promoting the level and process of children's painting, which is even more essential in the process of painting. Teachers should be good at stimulating children's positive emotions, so that positive emotions run through children's paintings and become the driving force of creation. After several years of teaching practice, I have summarized the following methods to stimulate children's positive emotions in the process of painting. 1, the choice of children's painting forms 1) Willing to paint resonates with children in the form of willingness to paint, giving them enough imagination space to play freely, and also letting children play their imagination, stimulate positive emotions, and let them participate in painting activities more actively. I heard that I paint what I like. Some children's eyes lit up at once and couldn't wait to sit at the table. Boys like to draw tanks and dinosaurs, while girls like to draw dolls, houses and so on. Several children in the class drew pictures and asked the teacher to look at them, but they looked very proud and confident. The children have been completely immersed in the interest of creation, and they know what they want to draw. This is an exposure of children's positive emotions in painting. Children are obviously more relaxed, more comfortable, more willing to accept and more involved in painting. Teachers give some inspiration and guidance to children's cognitive level according to teaching requirements, and children can express boldly according to their own understanding. For children, every painting is the most beautiful and precious. It shows their real experiences and reflects their inner feelings. Such painting activities may be more playful and random. However, when observing children's spontaneous painting activities, we will find that the theme of children's painting is relatively stable for a period of time, and it often takes several painting activities to change a performance theme. The choice of theme is often influenced by classroom teaching activities, paintings of peers, daily life experience and other factors. For example, Zhou Heming often painted "deformed golden steel" at the beginning of school, and painted various ships and planes later. Now they often draw "tanks" these days. It shows that when a child is interested in something at a certain stage, he has the desire to create actively, and he can freely daub, cross, associate and create in painting to show the world in his eyes. 2) Give children a proposition in the form of a proposition painting, such as "beautiful house". Do a lot of observation before class and ask children to observe tall buildings, scenic spots and residential houses. In class, children begin to draw pictures after mastering the basic structure of the house. Some children visited Qinghe Square and had a special liking for the houses there. They are all old houses. Some children visit Yan 'an Road and like to draw tall buildings. Some children draw their own houses, and the paintings are different. When they paint, they are in high spirits. Although they have a theme, they don't need to imitate it according to the pattern. In addition to drawing houses, children have also increased their imagination. Such as: planes in the sky, parachutes, streams in front of houses, etc. , greatly enriched the picture. It shows that even proposition painting has room for children to play freely, and children run through positive emotions in painting. 2. There are individual differences in the degree of recognition and encouragement for children in time, and their painting ability is also strong and weak. Teachers should give affirmation in time according to the actual level of children when evaluating. Praise those who have made progress, encourage children with weak abilities, and make every child have confidence in himself and interest in painting, so that painting can become something that children spontaneously want to do and stimulate a positive mood. On this basis, the requirements of improving children's intelligence and aesthetic ability are further put forward. In the process of increasing ability, children's level will continue to improve, and their interest in painting will gradually increase, which in turn can make children have positive emotions. The whole process forms a virtuous circle. For example, Cher's painting ability in class is weak. In a comment on drawing a lotus flower, a child pointed out that her painting was not good, so we launched an evaluation. Some children said that her lotus was painted khaki, which didn't look good. Cher couldn't explain it clearly. When I was commenting, I asked a question: Why did the lotus turn khaki? The children immediately thought that the lotus was going to wither. This explanation not only properly evaluates the painting and endows it with a different artistic conception, but also encourages Cher, urges her children to form positive emotions, and even urges Cher to have self-confidence, interest in painting and positive emotions. 3. Educators infect children with positive emotional attitudes and create a good and harmonious atmosphere. Only in a relaxed, active and harmonious environment can children truly feel that painting is not a burden, but a kind of fun. Only in painting can they have a strong interest, agile thinking and rich imagination. ① Teachers' emotions must be positive and positive. Only when teachers devote themselves wholeheartedly can they better grasp the key points of the activity process and the relationship between them, and use emotions to drive and infect children, so that children can get a good emotional experience in a subtle way, and they are more willing to participate in the painting activities organized by teachers and produce positive emotions. Imagine, if even the teachers are not interested and unwilling to teach, how can children have the desire to participate in activities? How does this positive emotion come about? (2) Teachers' friendly attitude is the link to induce children's good feelings. Often, a kind reminder from the teacher and an approving look can make children enhance their self-confidence and express their understanding and imagination more boldly with colors and methods. A kind smile is an affirmation of children's thoughts and creations. In children's eyes, it means that you have accepted his unique aesthetic feelings and expressions, and he will be more willing to share the joy of creation with you, generate his positive creative feelings and draw more and more beautiful pictures. 4. Expand children's horizons and accumulate creative experience. Painting is a purposeful and conscious creative activity of human beings. It comes from our life and is a reflection of real life. In this activity, it includes the understanding of the surrounding objective things and a variety of complex emotions, so we can start from the following two aspects: (1) Let children form the habit of observation. Learn to observe people, things and things around you, including good people and deeds around you, changes in nature, buildings on the road, etc. Guide children to get in touch with nature and understand it. Often take children for walks, gardens and planting activities, so that they can feel and enjoy the beauty of nature, and the beautiful feelings of loving nature and life will arise in their hearts. For example, a group painting with the theme of "I love spring", children are very interested in taking them out for an outing to see the scenery in spring. They draw from their own different angles, and the teacher encourages and affirms them. In the process of group painting, children are in high spirits because of their full knowledge preparation and emotional accumulation. In the process of group painting, they consciously worked together to create a beautiful spring, and the teachers did not make any demonstrations. (2) Give children more opportunities to appreciate, such as New Year pictures, paper-cuts, sculptures, or going out to sketch, so as to enrich and accumulate children's life experience and provide materials for creation. Especially when painting some festivals, you can combine the images of New Year pictures or sculptures to create. For example, before class, we let our children enjoy various sculptures in Hangzhou under the leadership of their parents. Some children also recorded the sculptures they saw with photos. When painting "I Love Hangzhou", some children used these sculptures with local characteristics to express it. Although their painting methods are still immature, this idea and creativity have shown that their level of expression and appreciation has been greatly improved. Third, the problems that need attention when stimulating children's positive emotions 1. Understand children's needs, and find what children like and are interested in drawing. 2. When demonstrating, teachers should give appropriate guidance mainly in skills and skills, and should give children enough imagination in content, play freely and draw their own style. 3, the teacher's lead should be concise and interesting, pay attention to arouse interest. 4. Expand new painting types, such as traditional Chinese painting and pigment painting. 5. Give children opportunities to show their painting achievements, such as taking photos as a souvenir, hanging on the wall and so on. Guide children to communicate with each other, appreciate each other and improve together. 6. There are individual differences in children's cognitive level, and their drawing ability is strong and weak. Evaluation should be based on their vertical degree. Children with strong ability should be affirmed, and children with weak ability should be encouraged. Teachers should be good at learning, mobilize children's positive emotions in various ways, and help children master correct observation methods and good painting habits. Only when children have these good qualities can they create a unique and beautiful picture.
