On Art Education and Teaching in Kindergarten

Children are talented painters, and they like painting since childhood. They are excited, happy and radiant when drawing. They often play freely and express their wishes at will. The basic goal of kindergarten art education is to learn and master simple knowledge and skills of art activities, cultivate children's initial expressive force, and make children sprout aesthetic interest. Mastering certain art knowledge and skills is a necessary prerequisite for engaging in art activities. However, because the ultimate goal of kindergarten art education is to promote the effective development of children's cognition, emotion, ability and personality with the help of art, knowledge and skills are only a means to promote children's development. Only by taking art as an effective tool for children to express themselves and their views on the objective world can it be possible to promote children's development through art education. Kindergarten art activities are children's favorite art activities. In the activity, children draw their own hot spots, things of interest around them and a beautiful fantasy world on paper, making art a means for children to know and explore the world. Therefore, when teachers carry out artistic activities, they should take the development of children's potential, improve their interest in learning and develop their healthy personality as the premise, and use various ways to flexibly organize various kinds of teaching, so that art education can play a greater role in children's development. Combined with the usual art education and teaching practice, the author thinks that children art education and teaching should pay attention to the following aspects:

First, cultivate children's interest in learning art and participating in activities, and stimulate children's creative desire.

Interest is the best teacher. The new curriculum standard requires us to emancipate children boldly, and strive to create a cordial, harmonious, flexible and relaxed classroom atmosphere for children, so that children can feel the fun of artistic activities in activities and create a good atmosphere of playing middle school, practicing while learning and practicing Chinese music. In order to let children really enjoy the joy of artistic activities, our classroom must attract their attention and let children participate voluntarily. For example, when pasting "Interesting Spring", teachers use magic to show teaching AIDS to arouse children's interest and ask questions to arouse children's curiosity. In the process of children's art teaching, we are faced with a group of lively, lovely and innocent children, whose rational thinking is not yet mature, and their profound and complicated knowledge of art theory makes them more confused and confused. During this period, they are rich in perceptual thinking, like fairy tales with magical colors, and always like to find their own happiness, ideals and wishes in stories. Teachers can combine art activities with children's storytelling and extension activities according to this characteristic of children.

Second, protect children's personality development, tap children's creative potential and develop their creative potential.

Mr. Chen Heqin's principle of "living education" holds: "Children should be allowed to do what they can; Children should be allowed to think independently about what they can think independently. Children explore and discover by themselves. The knowledge they seek is knowledge, and the world they discover is the real world. " In the traditional painting teaching process, teachers generally like to use unified painting tools and methods to ask children to complete tasks. The result is that children want to try some unusual paintings, but it will eventually lead to children's herd mentality. Therefore, when children master certain painting methods, teachers will start with "horizontal painting creation" and "vertical painting creation" to further promote children's creativity and development. For example, in the comprehensive painting activity "beautiful homeland", the teacher gave the guidance of "horizontal painting creation", that is to say, children can choose their own painting tools and painting methods to create paintings with the same theme or imaginary paintings, so the teacher provided children with various painting tools such as oil pastels, markers, watercolors and cotton swabs, allowing them to choose their own painting tools freely, guiding them to exert their unique imagination and draw different pictures with their own tools. Next, the teacher organized the children to carry out more complicated "vertical painting creation". Experiments show that this method gives full play to children's creativity. The pictures drawn in this way are rich in color and full in layout, which develops children's creative potential and gives full play to their unique imagination.

Third, pay attention to the accumulation of children's life experience, enrich their perceptual knowledge, feel the diversity of artistic creation, and better cultivate their aesthetic ability.

People's creative activities begin with observation, and observation is the source of creative activities. Careful observation can help children get a lot of rich perceptual information and understand difficult theoretical knowledge. Teachers should create opportunities for children to contact with external things through various channels, and encourage children to listen, see, touch and try more, so as to develop children's senses, broaden their horizons and enrich their imagination.

As an art course of visual art education, the cultivation of its creative ability needs to capture the themes in life, so the accumulation of children's life experience is particularly important. How much experience you have accumulated in living outside the park depends on parents' educational attitude towards their children. Influenced by the traditional educational concept, most parents only ask their children to learn to calculate and read. Now it is more fashionable to learn English. Children are not supported to choose to study art. Due to busy work, parents have less opportunities to communicate with their children, which leads to children paying less attention to what is happening around them. Therefore, teachers should help parents improve their understanding of art through various channels. Teachers organize some activities from time to time to guide children to apply new life experiences to art activities in time, teach children some observation methods and improve their observation ability. Let children experience observation, thinking, aesthetics, creation and learn language expression, so as to cultivate their observation and deepen their visual impression. Teachers also carry out art activities in combination with educational activities in various disciplines, paying attention to guiding children to use them flexibly and acquire knowledge in different disciplines.

Fourth, teachers should use appropriate real-time language to guide children to draw, so as to reflect their personality and further improve their works.

Appreciating encouraging language can enhance children's confidence in artistic activities. Building self-confidence is the beginning of all success, and it is also one of the important goals of kindergarten art activities. Language that teachers appreciate and encourage is the main means to achieve this goal. Therefore, what the teacher should do is: First, carefully discover the child's little progress and say "Great!" "Great!" Or pat the child on the shoulder, give the child a thumbs-up and so on. Second, it is necessary to clearly and specifically point out the places worthy of praise and learning in children's activities or works. Such as: "These leaves are painted in the best colors", "The background of this painting is well handled" and so on; Third, we should make use of the situation to encourage children to persist in completing their works and experience the happiness of success. Teachers should pay attention to choosing appropriate ways, methods and opportunities when using the guidance language of appreciation and encouragement, and grasp the sense of proportion and "temperature", instead of abusing praise unprincipled, otherwise it will only cultivate children's pride, complacency or indifference.

Children are in the early stage of creation and development and need educators to open the door to creation for them. In children's art teaching, we should make good use of various teaching methods and skills in time to create a more relaxed, happy and harmonious learning atmosphere for children and look at the problem from the perspective of children's development. Only in this way can we turn ordinary things into smart and beautiful works of art, let children freely imagine and boldly create in their own painting space, and draw a sky that truly belongs to children.
