Multifunctional corner environment is to divide the activity area into activity corners with different creative functions, so that the activity functions of the activity corners are diversified and extensive. The "all-inclusive" activity corner gives children a variety of opportunities and conditions to choose. For example, you can draw, create, play and decorate. Stimulate children's interest and enthusiasm in participating in the environment, and gain all aspects of aesthetic feeling, experience and emotional experience.
1. Decorative corner: provide children with all kinds of colored paper, double-sided tape, scissors, collected photo albums and pictures, waste paper boxes and bottles. Let children "reinvent" these waste paper boxes and other items according to their own interests or ongoing theme activities, so that they can regain their vitality. 2. Painting corner: provide children with paper, markers and crayons, paints and brushes, so that children can freely make propositions or create. 3. Handmade corner: Children can do some origami and clay sculpture activities here, and encourage children to explore their own works according to the examples and step diagrams provided by the teacher. 4. Cooperation Corner: Encourage children to draw a picture together, such as "Happy Children's Day". The children began to draw a person, and I drew a random person on the paper. After painting, they found many children on the paper, even foreign children. Encourage children to discuss how to recreate. While painting, appreciate and evaluate, and complete the conception of painting. The content is outstanding and the layout is hierarchical. In cooperation, children's ability to appreciate beauty, evaluate beauty and create beauty is improved, and their team spirit is cultivated.
Second, put in a variety of materials to encourage children to take the initiative to operate.
In daily life, it is not difficult to find an eternal law: cartoons are always children's favorite; Toys are always what children are willing to hold in their hands for the longest time; The playground is always a place for children to laugh and play ... what kind of charm deeply attracts children? I think it is mainly because these things give children bright and lovely colors, childish and exaggerated cartoons, animals, anthropomorphic forms, convenience and plasticity, and make them happy and attracted. Then we can also learn from the above characteristics in the delivery of materials, so that the art district can become a small world that children want to play and love to play.
Usually in class, I ask my children to always pay attention to collecting waste materials around them. Such as: all kinds of boxes, bottles, photo magazines and used books. One day, when my children brought pictures of Plants vs Zombies, I had an idea. Why not let children decorate used cartons with these pictures that they are very interested in? The children used a lot of brains, some pasted pictures on the box, some painted on the surface of the box according to the patterns on the pictures, and some children cut plants and zombies out of various plants and zombies, pasted them on cardboard, and made three-dimensional decorations on the used box cover. This idea excites other children and imitates them. Some children decorate the box with their favorite smiling faces and characters from Big Big Wolf.
Third, theme art activities to comprehensively develop children's artistic ability.
Theme art activities are helpful for children to gain experience and cultivate their abilities. Carrying out thematic art education activities plays a good role in sprouting children's aesthetic feeling, cultivating children's emotions and promoting the development of children's cognitive ability, intelligence and creativity.
In the theme art activities, we should seriously study and understand the spirit of the outline, establish a correct teaching purpose, develop children's creativity through painting, decoration and production, and encourage children to discover, ask and solve problems independently in the process of hands-on. Starting from cultivating children's imagination, divergent thinking and divergent thinking, we should create all possible conditions and opportunities in art so that children can experience, think and develop multi-directional thinking in practice.
A good selection of materials in the corner of the art district can play a role in opening children's hearts. When selecting materials, teachers should not worry about children's modeling ability, lest they draw differently. We should not judge their works by "likeness", but let them express their feelings and establish their interest in artistic activities through an independent creative process. In the theme activity of "Year of Red Flowers", the corresponding art corner activities include "interesting Peking Opera masks", "various masks" and "masks I painted" and other operating contents of appreciation and painting. Children's appreciation of Facebook, with children themselves as the main body, leads to different feelings and views of different children on the same thing (Facebook), as well as expressions and forms. Because there is no fixed shape, children will not be trapped by "image and non-image" They can let go of their handwriting and express themselves boldly, thus mobilizing positive thinking activities, boldly exerting their imagination and creativity and expressing their feelings about things.
Fourth, penetrate the art of printing and dyeing and feel the traditional culture of the local people.
The inspiration for printing and dyeing comes from silk printing and dyeing. Suzhou has the custom of planting mulberry and raising silkworms since ancient times, and has a good reputation as "land of plenty and silk" in history. When friends from all over the world and the motherland come to Suzhou, they will bring Suzhou silk back to their hometown and give it to relatives and friends. There is a dyeing process in the deep processing of silk, and origami dyeing, batik dyeing, sealing dyeing and delay dyeing have the same similarities with silk dyeing itself. Through the activities of "printing and dyeing workshop" in the corner of our art district, children can learn more about Suzhou, experience the vicissitudes of their hometown and their existing pride, and better cultivate their humanistic spirit.
1. origami dyeing
Folding: according to the production needs, the paper can be cut into square, rectangle, circle, semicircle, triangle, trapezoid or folded into the shape of daily necessities. Due to the folded square
The final dyeing effect is different with different types.
Dyeing: Hold the folded triangular or square or fan-shaped paper with thumb and forefinger, put the middle finger behind the forefinger, and dip one corner into the colored plate. Because of the strong water absorption of the paper used, the color naturally penetrates into it, which will have a blooming artistic effect. Pay attention to the deployment of color when dipping, and leave blank appropriately. If there is too much moisture in the color and the smudge is very severe, you can cover the edge of the dish in time, or hold it tightly with your fingers and properly control the area of the color. Due to the differences in warmth, depth, lightness and strength of colors, as well as the size and shape of blooming areas, patterns with different shapes will appear after opening, which has a sense of symmetry. In order to change the pattern, children can also be guided to dip and dye with their fingers, cotton swabs and brushes. On the basis of impregnation.
Opening: according to the crease of the paper to be dried, gently open the dyed paper layer by layer.
2. Blue printed cotton cloth
Simple and primitive blue and white creates a simple, natural, ever-changing and colorful world of blue and white art, and forms a unique national artistic style, which is a unique flower of national art in China. The "Little Printing and Dyeing Workshop" enhances children's sensitivity to the beauty of lines, patterns and colors by appreciating and making blue printed cloth. Also let children feel their patterns through hands-on operation (center and edge patterns; Flowers and plants, animals, but also graphics and changing lines) are interesting and unique forms.
3. Seal printing and dyeing
Guide children to try to design their own graphic seals or use various vegetable cross sections and existing seals to print symmetrical and regular patterns in the center and around the paper. Stimulate children's interest in printing and dyeing activities, and inspire children to discover and create beauty in life. Cultivate children's ability to operate, explore and express.
4. Lithographic dyeing
Guide children to design various patterns by themselves, cut them out, put them symmetrically or regularly in the center and around the paper, brush one or more pigments on them and on the paper, and then remove the patterns. Make all kinds of handmade works (picture frames, paper balls, etc.) with its rubbing paper. Help children experience the joy and beauty of success in art operation activities.
Fifth, life-oriented and interesting activity materials, so that children can participate sensitively.
Choose living, interesting and emotional activity materials for children. Teachers should closely link artistic activities with children's real life, guide and encourage children to discover and explore the beauty in daily life, bring the knowledge and things they have mastered or experienced to the activities, and "live" the materials of artistic activities.
For example, in the theme activity "Green Spring", play the game "Where is Spring?" With children, children know that they can search in the sky, flowers and lawns with their eyes, and the girl who feels the spring with her heart comes to the world. In regional activities, children can express what they see, know and feel by painting, origami or a combination of various ways. Another example is the theme activity "Where We Live". After a series of observation and cognitive understanding, children will try to express their understanding and feelings about the living place by clay sculpture, painting and production in the art district, and children also have a good desire to build and beautify their hometown.
Sixth, diversified works are displayed to stimulate children's continuous interest in painting.
Displaying children's works in various forms and angles as much as possible can not only bring children active interest in learning, but also provide a good platform for children's works and feel the confidence brought by the environment when children's works elements are added.
In the theme environment of "Spring is coming", wicker, peach blossom and colored ball wind chimes made by children in a corner of the art district hang in the sky. On the theme wall, there are spring girl dolls made by children, books on silkworm life, a hundred gardens composed of paintings, and pictures of tea collected by various children. During the week in the corner of nature, children make flowers with different shapes by using wax paper, straw, textured paper and tearing paper, and then decorate disposable paper cups into elegant vases, put sand on them, and "plant" them into flowers to make potted flowers.
Children are proud every time they see their works magically turned into different decorations. Their paintings can be seen everywhere in the classroom. "I made this. I will do more next time, so take it home and hang it! " These are the children. What they like to see and listen to cannot be separated from what they are familiar with. The presentation of the works makes them feel that the classroom belongs to themselves and everyone, and it also stimulates children's stronger creativity and interest. The purpose of creation may be simple: let the teacher turn it into an interesting decoration for me!
Art corner is not only a corner, but more importantly, we learn effectively and independently through corner activities, conveying emotions to children and influencing their growth imperceptibly.
