Course tips

At the opening ceremony of this year's Beijing Winter Olympics, 24 solar terms's idea of countdown surprised the whole world and left a deep impression on all the spectators. The 24 solar terms are the traditional culture of China and the intangible cultural heritage of China. They are also called "the fifth invention" of China. They accurately reflect the change of natural rhythm and contain a long cultural connotation and historical accumulation. Today we are going to learn about the "fright" in the 24 solar terms.

"Quiet person" is the third solar term in a year. Literally, "sting" means crouching (hiding), because insects find a place to keep warm and hide in winter. "Surprise" means that the weather gets warmer in spring, and spring thunder begins to sound, which wakes up the insects crouching underground and hibernating. Therefore, when the spring returns, insects begin to be active at this time.

So, children, what insects do you know? Insects are a large class of creatures with the largest number of species, the largest number of individuals, the most diverse lifestyles and the strangest survival strategies on the earth. In the spring season, as long as you observe carefully, you can always meet all kinds of insects. For example, crickets that love to sing, dragonflies that are as light as airplanes, butterflies with beautiful wings, ladybugs with red shells, and bees that are busy all day ... Nature becomes colorful because of these insects, and spring becomes active because of them.

When the grass grows, birds fly and plants begin to grow. All kinds of leaves and small flowers of all colors attract small animals and insects to play among flowers and plants. In today's art class, we are going to draw small insects and animals when they are frightened in the grass. What wonderful natural worlds are there in your works? Let's start creating together!

Scene description

Spring returns to the earth, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the beauty and joy of spring are everywhere. You see, small animals and insects have come out to play, some are flying, some are walking, some are talking ... What an interesting picture. Let's draw a scene from this beautiful solar term.

Emphasis and difficulty in teaching

1. Understand the knowledge of solar terms, feel the traditional culture, and create with all kinds of small insects and animals when you are afraid.

Twenty-four solar terms are the traditional culture of China, which accurately reflects the change of natural rhythm and contains a long cultural connotation and historical accumulation. Children can feel the characteristics of different solar terms through the appreciation of pictures, teachers' explanations and their own experiences. In the course, all kinds of small insects and animals are created when they are frightened, such as singing crickets, dragonflies as light as airplanes, butterflies with beautiful wings, ladybugs with red shells, bees that are busy all day, etc. Children can draw small insects and animals they are interested in by observing, memorizing and dictation, and pay attention to showing their bodies.

2. Inspire children to draw a variety of plants as the background of the picture by line drawing, reflecting the beautiful picture of insects living and playing among flowers and plants.

When the grass grows, birds fly and plants begin to grow. All kinds of leaves and small flowers of all colors attract small animals and insects to play among flowers and plants. In painting, children imagine on the basis of careful observation and add the background environment of the picture. We can use different shapes and lines when expressing plants. For example, the leaves are oval, rectangular, triangular, rhombic and irregular, and the lines are thick, thin, curved, straight, sparse and dense. We should learn to embody the beauty of plant shapes and lines through meticulous description, and finally stick the painted insects between flowers and plants to show our vitality and beauty when we are frightened.
