How to carry out the enlightenment education of children's painting

Excerpted from Early Childhood Education 1. Encourage children to "doodle" and cultivate their interest in painting, starting with "doodling". When a child is about one and a half years old, he begins to scribble with a pen, which is the beginning of children's painting. Of course, at this time, he didn't know how to express anything, just took graffiti as a fun game. This is the child's "graffiti" stage. Why are children interested in "graffiti" at this stage? In fact, this is our natural child's. Because this kind of "unrestrained, unrestrained" smear can bring him happiness, he naturally enjoys it. At this time, you don't have to interfere too much, but you can encourage them-"the baby is very capable", "the baby paints very well" and so on. Children can't "draw". You should guide them to put away their pens and papers and put them in the prescribed places, so as to form good habits for formal learning to draw in the future. If parents interfere too much with their children's "graffiti" and demand too much, such as forcing their children to draw "eggs", "oranges" and "apples", although it is very simple, children in the "graffiti" period often fail to meet the requirements because they can't consciously control their hands. In this way, after many "failures", children will gradually feel disappointed, their interest will gradually weaken, and finally they will not recruit. The correct way is that you should let your child paint freely for a period of time-when the child is old, the muscles of his small hands are developed, his consciousness control ability is strong, and he has a certain desire to express himself psychologically. At this time, parents can guide their children from blind "painting" to painting activities according to their characteristics and wishes, and teach them to paint what they like and are interested in. 2. Combine painting with games. It is children's nature to love games, so combining painting with games will get good results. For younger children, you can play some simple art games with him, such as coloring games, painting games, tearing paper games, jigsaw puzzles and so on. Let children naturally become interested in painting while drawing and spelling. For older children who have certain painting ability, you can skillfully combine painting with other activities. When you want to show your child around the zoo, you can tell him before you leave-when you come back, you should draw a picture of your favorite animal. This not only improves the child's interest in painting, but also cultivates his observation ability. More importantly, let children draw according to their own memories, and train and develop their image memory ability-this is one of the most important abilities to learn to draw. Everyone wants to be appreciated and encouraged by others, even adults, not to mention young and naive children. Therefore, the appreciation and encouragement of parents will play a great role in improving children's interest in painting. However, it should be noted that appreciation and encouragement should be appropriate and specific, and not perfunctory. If some parents always say "your painting has improved" and "your painting is really beautiful" repeatedly, this kind of inappropriate and unspecific praise and encouragement will sometimes even disgust children, and the effect will be counterproductive. 4. Properly change the methods and forms of painting. Curiosity and novelty are children's nature. If you play a game repeatedly for a long time and draw pictures with the same form and content, children will feel bored and painting will be boring. Therefore, parents should change the content and form of painting in time to maintain and develop children's interest. First of all, changing the place and position of children's painting in time can improve their interest in painting. If your child often paints at home or in the classroom, you might as well take time to take him outdoors to sketch or go to other children's homes to paint with them. You can also put a big piece of paper on the wall and let him stand and create a "mural". Secondly, changing the painting form in time will also make children feel novel and interesting. For example, take children to the beach to build sand and create the art of beach imagination; Provide children with cloth heads, leaves and (plant) seeds, so that children can learn art collage; Provide children with fruit and bread and let them learn how to make food platters. In addition, children can also participate in collective creation. Many children paint on big paper or cloth together, and the child must be very happy to see the results of his cooperation with other children at a glance, which will not only improve his interest in painting, but also enhance his collective consciousness and cooperative spirit. 5. Don't force children to draw images they don't like. Children's emotional tendency is obvious, and painting is no exception to people, things and things. If the child likes it and he is interested, he can draw carefully; If you don't like it, you are sloppy or passive. For example, at the age of four, a child mastered the skills of traditional Chinese painting far beyond his age and won a prize in a national competition. But later, as long as he saw the felt cloth, brush and inkstone on the table, he closed his eyes and held his head and refused to paint. It turned out that his father taught him to draw a profile and let him learn to draw hairtail. These dead fish, ugly and tasty, don't interest him. Therefore, when choosing a painting theme for children, we must pay attention to the theme and content that children are interested in. 6. Don't lengthen the painting time at will. Children's physical and mental development is characterized by weak physical endurance and inability to concentrate for a long time. Children aged 3-4 can only last for about 20 to 30 minutes. You'd better not extend your child's painting time at will, which will not only make the child's body unable to support it, but also make it difficult to concentrate, which will affect the effect of painting and even reduce the child's interest in painting. Einstein once said: "Interest is the driving force of learning and the best teacher." When children lose interest, they lose the motivation to learn. Therefore, parents should strictly grasp the time when their children draw, and don't rigidly stipulate how long they must draw at a time, so that children can have fun after painting. This can keep children interested in painting for a long time. Some of the methods introduced above are undoubtedly very helpful to cultivate children's interest in painting. However, no experience or method can completely adapt to every different individual, because different children have different personalities, temperaments and intelligence levels. Therefore, you should design and choose appropriate methods according to children's characteristics, correctly guide and cultivate children's interest in painting, and achieve the effect of benign interaction.
