First, observe life-discover beauty.
"In life, beauty is everywhere. The key is to give children a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beauty. " Everyone's observation angle is different, so the beauty found is different. Real life is very important for the growth of children's painting. Children's drawing ability can't be taught by teachers only by teaching skills. What we should do is to create a good growth environment for them, inspire them to love life and express their interest in painting. Because beauty is an eternal theme in human life, in people's social life, the art of beauty is almost everywhere, and beauty is life. Only by understanding life can we understand and create beauty. Only the teaching rooted in and serving the life world is the teaching with strong vitality.
1. Collect life and improve aesthetic comprehension.
The reform of art curriculum emphasizes the connection between art learning and students' life experience, so we should find out and dig out what students are interested in from the students' point of view in classroom teaching, and find a suitable starting point in students' psychological characteristics and life practice, so as to arouse students' resonance and stimulate students' interest. For example, in the "Changing Lines" class, I asked students to look for beautiful and changeable lines from nature and life, and students easily found all kinds of lines: straight lines on the blackboard, spiral lines on the guardrail outside the window, wavy lines on the teacher's hair, arcs on flower pots, serrated lines on flower leaves and so on. This kind of guidance not only allows students to quickly enter the new classroom, but also allows them to inadvertently review the lines they have learned before. Then I further guided them to discover that there are so many beautiful lines hidden around us, which are changeable and beautify our lives. In the creation, I also inspire students to imagine wicker in the breeze, messy hair in the wind, layers of sand in the desert ... Students can easily draw their own familiar and aesthetic lines, and their works are full of rhythm. This not only combines their life experience and existing knowledge, but also gives them more opportunities to feel and appreciate beauty from familiar things around them, and makes students realize that artistic expression comes from life, and the existence of lines in art makes life more colorful. This course not only cultivates students' feelings of loving nature and life, but also improves their ability to discover and feel beauty.
2. Go into nature and enhance the aesthetic feeling.
"The classroom is not equal to the classroom." In the past, art classes were usually taught by teachers through textbooks, and then students were asked to copy in the classroom or meditate by memory, which not only ignored students' emotional experience, but also failed to make full use of students' curiosity and desire to explore, and guided students to learn independently. As a result, students not only can't draw well, but also have no creativity. Therefore, in teaching, students should be organized to feel nature by sketching and collecting wind according to the contents of the teaching materials, so that children can not only be interested and their works are full of true feelings, but also cultivate their own personality and sentiment in a relaxed and free environment, and at the same time add a lot of materials for artistic creation, such as holding the "I am a little painter" activity, just changing the venue, but when students sit on campus, carrying picture clips on their backs and sketching, The envious eyes of other students filled all the students who sketched with pride. Everything familiar on campus is so fresh and beautiful in the eyes of students. Although the students' works are still naive, they enjoy the joy and happiness brought by outdoor creation in the whole creative process. Therefore, we art teachers should strive to guide students to nature and integrate into society, so that students can smell the freshness of life, see the beauty of life, taste the happiness of life, and describe and create life with their own true feelings.
Second, practice life and experience beauty.
Life is the source of artistic creation. Students experience the joys and sorrows of life and feel the beauty and ugliness of life. Blue sea and blue sky, red flowers and green willows, high-rise buildings, street people, folk customs, joys and sorrows in life, all make students unforgettable. Hearing all these life scenes, they talked with relish, expressed their opinions and described them frankly and vividly. As an art teacher, we should fully mobilize students to tell the truth, guide and develop their emotions, and enhance their love for life and understanding of art.
1. Create life situations and experience happy feelings.
Mr. Tao Xingzhi believes that it is easier for students to understand and receive education in natural life and create a living environment. He believes that the teacher's duty is to guide students to learn directly from external things and surrounding environment, and the creation of situations must be combined with students' interest in life. Therefore, in art teaching, we should strive to create a living classroom teaching situation, and the content and methods of the situation should be close to students' lives, natural and appropriate, and closely related to the theme. For example, during the introduction of the new lesson, I played cartoons that children like very much, created a zoo scene, guided children to look for reptiles in cartoons, and turned the classroom into a reptile exhibition hall, allowing students to imitate reptiles seen in cartoons and reptiles they like, so that they can quickly enter teaching activities, and thus lead to topics and easily appreciate and feel the beauty in cartoons. Students imagine themselves as small animals in a micro-world, and I lead them to close their eyes and enter the wonderful nature. We are no longer homo erectus, but tiny reptiles. What will happen to things around us? Let the students say what they feel and everything they can imagine. This life-oriented teaching situation not only creates an active and cheerful classroom atmosphere, but also allows students to experience the happiness that is neglected on weekdays. So as to cultivate their perceptual ability and thinking ability in images, feel the beauty of nature in wonderful crawling, and stimulate their inner feelings of loving life and painting art more.
2. Mobilize life experience and broaden performance horizons.
The classroom teaching of the new curriculum should be a combination of knowledge content and students' life experience. Teachers should make full use of these life experiences in teaching to mobilize students' exploration and understanding of art. Therefore, teachers should consciously create educational situations, reproduce life, let students be there, and then connect with existing life experiences to experience, comprehend and deepen their feelings. For example, in the lesson "It's raining", you can hang some umbrellas, raincoats, rain hats and other rain gear in the classroom, and then play a recording when it rains, so that children can close their eyes and experience and imagine what kind of rain you can see in the street, at school, in the fields and in the Woods. Students' thinking will be broadened. Some say that there are umbrella flowers at the school gate after school, some say that small flowers and plants feel very comfortable after taking a shower, and some say that it is interesting to see umbrellas blown over by the wind. From the scenes described by the students, it can be seen that the children have broadened their horizons of expression with their own life experiences, thus leaving the beautiful rain scenes in their daily lives on the screen, inspiring their love for life, subliming the natural beauty of light rain into artistic beauty, and every innocent child's heart naturally grows wings of imagination and bears the fruit of love.
Third, show life-create beauty.
Art originates from and serves life. It is a good way for students to learn art from life, that is, from attaching importance to the knowledge value of teaching to the life value of teaching. By going deep into life, observing life and experiencing life, students will be full of love and passion for life and eager to show it. Teachers should inspire students to fully mobilize their potential, choose material materials suitable for expressing beauty, express their aesthetic taste through artistic imagination and with the help of artistic language, and strive to create the beauty of life with true feelings.
1. Colorful life, expression of true feelings
Art education is not to cultivate artists, but to cultivate people who love life, are full of beauty and create a better life. In teaching, the content of art course is closely linked with students' life experience, so that students can understand the unique value of art in real life. For example, on the occasion of Mother's Day, the theme of "I offer my true feelings for my mother" is set up to guide students to make greeting cards by collage, rubbings, painting, etc., and write a sincere message to their mother, so as to experience the fun of creation in warmth and feel the unique charm of art classes. Art class is not a simple painting, but an activity of discovering beauty, feeling beauty and creating beauty. A pair of eyes to find beauty, a heart to feel beauty and a pair of hands to create beauty! A belief can be sublimated in every creative and painting activity. It is necessary to guide students to show what they see, hear, think and feel in life, express the epitome of life in artistic language, and enlarge the interest of life. Students live in a familiar environment every day and live with their grandparents, parents and parents at home. There are many warm pictures of life between them, such as outing, shopping or playing ... When students put all their feelings into their creation, these beautiful moments are fixed into interesting pictures: celebrating the Spring Festival, playing TV, decorating festivals and introducing my favorite toys. It exudes deep happiness and warmth, which makes people think of infinite paintings from a limited picture, feel the feelings in the paintings, hear the voices outside the paintings and sublimate the real life in the paintings.
2. Use waste to beautify life
Aesthetic experience is the need of students' growth and life, and it is a basic way of life. Where does the student's aesthetic experience come from? From activities, from doing, so Mr Dewey regards "learning by doing" as the highest teaching belief and rule.
There are many ordinary objects and waste materials in life, which seem unremarkable and useless, but as long as students beautify them with rich imagination and dexterous hands, they can become unique works of art. Once in Mask, a student who never brought utensils picked up some scraps from the ground and even made a work-Mr. Bigfoot Pirate. My classmates laughed at him for being ugly, but I praised him in the class, praised him for recycling waste and praised him for his bold design. It was the first time he stood on the podium, smiling brightly. Every flower needs sunshine and needs careful care to grow. You see, strange and lifelike cartons-cute animals, eye-catching patterns painted on various wine bottles-colorful beautiful bottles, and creative plastic bottle pen holders-make pen holders. There are also ever-changing paper tray dolls, paper cups and pigs, as well as turtles strutting around with "clever use of paper tableware" ... When children turn waste materials into interesting handicrafts, toys that everyone loves, gifts given to each other, or decorations for decorating their lives at home, they will be proud of themselves, full of excitement and pride in real life, and have a beautiful vision and infinite reverie for future life, thus making themselves young.
Educator Dewey said: Education is life. The purpose of education is to live a better life. Life is the soil where art grows. Art makes life more exciting. Art comes from life and acts on it. It is necessary to guide students to read "life textbooks" and let them walk into life, integrate into life and feel life. Let's create more opportunities for children, give them more sunshine, open the door of children's creation with a sincere heart and ignite the flowers of art.
