In fact, children are lively by nature and have a spirit that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. As children's guides, we are not thinking about how to teach children to draw beautiful and complete pictures in painting activities; But to think about how to guide children to imagine and operate; Reflect wisdom and imagination with the brush in your hand.

First of all, the questions raised
Painting is a creative activity. Children can exchange feelings and express their life feelings through painting activities. Children rely on observation and memory to create their own visual symbols and form their own picture space to express their understanding, thus gaining a sense of accomplishment and satisfying their interests. It is a pleasure for children to participate in painting activities. In this kind of fun, children's perception, creativity, thinking ability and hands-on ability have been improved. The image they painted may be a little crooked, and there may be a distance from the truth in life, but they created "art" and conveyed it in their own unique way.
However, during the four-month internship, the author found that. In the process of children's painting activities, the teacher seems to have formed a teaching model. First of all, tell the children what the theme of painting is. What should I draw? Then the teacher demonstrates drawing, and then the children draw according to the teacher's explanation and the teacher's template. Children will never go from painting to painting. Painting activities have lost their due creativity, and children's imagination has been bound. How to cultivate children's imagination in painting activities? What is the relationship between the development of painting ability and the development of children?
Second, the case observation records and analysis
Through more than four months of educational practice, combined with my own observation and record of children's various performances in painting activities, the author analyzes children's observation in activities, which leads to thinking: how to cultivate children's imagination in painting activities? Let imagination be more beautiful because of the performance of the brush!
Case 1: Xu Xu is a child who has been interested in painting since childhood. On weekdays, when the teacher takes out a pen and paper and says that he wants to draw, he always looks very excited, and so does today. The teacher first introduces the activities in the form of dialogue, and the children exchange "Where did I go during the summer vacation"! Then the teacher selectively drew a model. The teacher drew the Oriental Pearl. After a brief introduction and model painting, the children started their own painting activities. Xu Xu's paintings are full, and both the painting-to-paper ratio and the modeling teacher are satisfied! But once the teacher drew a proposition for the children. Xu Xu's topic was "Our Community". The teacher gave Xu Xu a model painting, hoping that Xu Xu could follow the model painting, but Xu Xu delayed drawing. Finally, at the urging of the teacher, he followed the gourd painting and finally finished painting! However, judging from Xu Xu's past painting performance, this is obviously a retrogression. Not only is the shape not good, but even the picture is stiff.
Case study: In fact, Xu Xu has a strong interest in painting. He likes to play freely and has a rich imagination. He doesn't like being tied down. I don't like to copy according to the model; At this time, the teacher should create a good painting atmosphere for him and let him paint according to his own experience and unique imagination.
Case 2: Diligence is a very disciplined boy. He will try his best to do whatever the teacher says, and so will painting. In the painting activity "making a snowman", the teacher will have a model painting as usual, drawing snowflakes floating in the sky and two children making a snowman. The picture is monotonous. In the free group painting activity, I diligently completed the painting according to the teacher's template painting. His seriousness was praised by the teacher, but his paintings lacked childlike innocence and childlike interest.
Case analysis: In fact, in daily painting activities, in order to achieve the effect of painting, it is good for teachers to let children draw images. But it is precisely because of this that children's paintings are boring and have no childlike innocence; This painting lacks imagination. Children's painting level is naturally difficult to improve.
Case 3: Mimi is a delicate little girl who has a strong interest in painting. In the painting activity with the theme of "Fruit Trees in Autumn", the teacher asked the children to give full play to their imagination and draw the fruit trees they usually see. Most children draw apple and pear trees in autumn. In the process of coloring, I found that Mimi is completely different from other children. The other children are all green apples and red leaves. She painted the apple tree red. I was curious to ask her why she painted it like this. She smiled and said to me, "Because autumn is coming, all the fruits on the apple tree are ripe, and all the apples are red when they are ripe, so I painted it red!" "
Case study: Through such a long observation, I found that Mimi always has her own unique ideas, whether it is propositional painting or freehand painting, and her paintings are sometimes surprising. Whether it is the design of the picture content or the use of color, it will always leave a deep impression on people! Third, children's painting activities and children's development.
Through the analysis of the observation records of three children, the author finds that the development of children's painting ability has a certain relationship with the development of children's other aspects.
For example, the influence of painting on children's intellectual development: to develop children's intelligence through painting teaching, we should first attach importance to children, guide them to observe, let them acquire knowledge and broaden their horizons, and then let them use their brains to imagine how they want and draw according to their own understanding. Only in this way can children's imagination and creativity be gradually developed. Of course, the more imagination is displayed in the creative process, the higher the enthusiasm of thinking, the richer the emotion and the better the effect. These three are closely related and inseparable. Painting plays an irreplaceable role in the development of children's intelligence.
The relationship between painting colors and children's emotions: colors in painting can represent emotional changes, such as red makes people excited, yellow makes people happy, blue makes people open-minded, and gray represents dullness and melancholy. In painting, children often use cheerful and exciting bright colors such as red, yellow and blue, and seldom use gloomy and deep colors that are depressed and melancholy. This is a sign that children are happy and stable.
Painting activities play a very important role in promoting children's development in all aspects. In the process of children's painting activities, imagination is very important, whether it is related to children's intellectual development or emotional relationship. Only with rich imagination can we innovate and create something different. In the observation, recording and analysis of these three children, imagination runs through the whole painting process and directly affects the painting effect. So how to cultivate children's imagination in painting activities? The author summarizes the following three points through observation in the activity and his own activity experience.
