1 is beneficial to the development of the right brain.
According to research, the left half of the human brain is abstract thinking, and the right half deals with the whole image information. At present, some parents attach importance to the educational content of words and numbers, which makes their 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. Children's painting is to inspire and induce children to perceive the shape and structure of things with interesting and novel stimuli, which is beneficial to the development of the right brain mainly through imagination and thinking in images.
2. Exercise coordination ability and improve creativity.
Art education also needs children's hands and brains, such as hand-making. Through hand operation, children's small muscle groups can be exercised, fingers and wrists can be coordinated, the control and adjustment ability of the brain can be promoted, and the flexibility, accuracy and creativity of children's actions can be enhanced. The children in the middle class are the best time to practice coloring, not to say that they are learning skills, but to exercise small muscle groups and lay a good foundation for future writing. In addition to color, painting also has modeling, and modeling is done through lines most of the time. Smooth lines and China's writing have the same effect, so painting and writing are inextricably linked.
Second, painting can stimulate children's innovative consciousness.
The focus of children's painting should be the enlightenment of creative consciousness, not the' teaching' of skills. Therefore, teaching children how to think through painting and manual operation is far more important than imparting knowledge and skills. The main way for children to communicate is talking, but painting is an important emotional expression for preschool children. Some adults like to keep diaries, some like blogs, some like Weibo, and so on. Children also need to release their emotions. When words can't meet this demand, painting is a good symbol for them, so painting is the language for children to express their emotions. Children's works are also one of the ways for parents to understand their children. Once with a large class of children, we drew a proposition painting "I am friends with animals". Some children draw themselves very small, but the animals are very strong. They snuggle in their arms. From the usual conversation, we know that the children's parents are busy with work and usually neglect to communicate with their children. It seems that children are usually careless and happy every day. In fact, they are subconsciously insecure, and they want to be cared for and taken care of. The child's mentality and feelings about the things expressed in the painting are far richer than his language.
Primary school students in Sweden have almost no literacy classes before the third grade, while primary school students in the United States are illiterate in the second grade. They spend most of their time playing, enjoying art and music, and culture classes are insignificant in the whole primary school stage. However, their technology and culture are not backward. Sweden is the country with the largest number of invention patents per capita in the world, one of the richest regions in the world, and the United States is also recognized as a powerful country in science, technology, culture and economy. And we, the whole adolescence, are enemies. American primary and secondary schools attach great importance to aesthetic education, but it is not to train many artists, but to "borrow chickens and lay eggs" to make children smarter, healthier and more energetic in the name of art education. In other words, the significance of children's learning painting should be "the meaning of drunkenness is not wine", not the painting technology itself.
1. Art education is an effective means to cultivate thinking in images.
People's thinking is divided into logical thinking and image thinking, and only the balanced development of the two kinds of thinking is the best intellectual development. In other words, children's learning must promote the balanced development of intelligence. Therefore, we do not advocate children to copy and imitate in painting, but let them express freely, or look for materials that can be seen everywhere in life for artistic creation, such as leaf mosaic, red bean painting, cotton swab painting and toothbrush painting, so as to give children the opportunity to imagine and express freely. What parents need to provide is to give their children a quiet environment, a simple rule, some drawing paper, and find drawing tools with their children.
2. Painting is an effective way to cultivate curiosity.
People who like painting are generally very curious. They like to pay attention to things that ordinary people despise, often involving a wide range, such as tourism, exploration, archaeology, photography, folk customs, various arts and so on. From work to life. These rich hobbies can not only greatly enrich a person's spiritual life, but also expand a person's development space and enhance a person's social competitiveness. Curiosity is the driving force for a person's career success. Without it, he can't make any progress. Painting is undoubtedly an effective way to cultivate children's curiosity and maintain people's childlike innocence and youthful vitality. Therefore, our parents should also keep a childlike innocence for their children.
Painting can improve people's memory development.
Through painting activities, images, scenes and details emerge in people's brains, which undoubtedly contributes to the healthy development of people's memory.
4. Cultivate meticulous observation ability and rational thinking.
This is the most basic function of painting education. When children grow up, the outside world is new to them, and curiosity can make them interested in everything in the world. And this is the source of power for children's painting. They like to paint new things in their eyes with brushes. A little thing, children should discover its more specific structure and richer color changes through their own observation, thus depicting the most essential and vivid beauty of things. This observation method can also greatly improve the ability of rational thinking and logical reasoning. This is good for children no matter what subjects they study in the future.
5. Cultivate children's overall planning ability.
Children need to think about their own painting content today, such as what to draw first, what to add and where to add it. This is actually a composition process. The child's painting seems to be random, but he has also thought and judged in his brain, and finally a picture with rich pictures is formed. It is more challenging for older children in this respect.
Third, cultivate higher aesthetic quality.
This is one that takes time to accumulate and seems ineffective for a long time. We don't think it's necessary to cultivate it deliberately. As long as children learn to observe things around them with emotion and keep in touch with all kinds of beautiful works of art and art forms, their aesthetic quality will naturally improve. Taking children to participate in some beautifully decorated environmental activities and experiences will naturally improve their sensitivity to modeling and color. It is necessary for them to look at some master's albums and visit art galleries.
