Early childhood is an important stage in the development of image thinking. Beautiful images, especially beautiful images in works of art, are general and typical, which promote children’s image thinking activities and cause children’s associations to generate rich imaginations. Activity. Scientist Einstein said: "Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited, and imagination summarizes everything in the world, promotes progress, and is the source of knowledge. Seriously speaking, imagination is the key to scientific research. Real factors. \"Children's imaginative drawings are based on children's known experiences and use imaginative activities to reprocess, transform and combine things in their minds to produce new images, new ideas and new subject matter pictures. Children in the upper class have some life experience and some painting foundations, but their thinking has not yet been fixed. They are least affected and restricted by the outside world and often have whimsical phenomena. This is the most precious and rare thing. In order to better cultivate children's imagination, association, innovation, difference-seeking abilities and awareness of multi-angle thinking from an early age, I have explored the imaginative paintings of children in large classes and achieved some results. There are also several gains and experiences in the process of carrying out such teaching activities:
1. In daily life, children should gradually enrich their inner storage. Because the more pictures stored, the richer the content of children's imagination. Therefore, I often tell stories to young children, and also require them to listen to more stories, watch cartoons, appreciate pictures of various animals and plants, and cartoon patterns, and organize children to go out for visits and walks to continuously tap into children's inner storage and improve their observation. Beauty, the ability to discover beauty and express beauty. For example: After I took my children to visit fields and farmhouses, I drew a picture titled "The house I want to live in." Children can boldly use their imagination and draw many creative houses, some like castles, some like villas, some like gardens... After watching the cartoon "Cats and Tigers", I drew "smart kitten", "silly cat", "cute tiger dad", etc. These drawings have simple lines, but have various dynamics and plots, and children's imagination is fully expressed.
2. Based on the imagination characteristics and expressive abilities of the children in the top class, I prepared a lot of materials in the art activity area. Such as: fill-in-the-blank game paintings, blow painting, graphic imaginary paintings, tear-off stickers, wool and impression imaginary paintings, digital deformation, etc., which immediately attracted young children. Have a lot of fun under the guidance of the teacher. In this way, children will have the enthusiasm and confidence to complete works while playing. In an imaginary painting activity with woolen seals, I showed several examples for children to appreciate and asked them to guess how such beautiful paintings were drawn to stimulate their interest. Then demonstrate how to dip sections of wool into different colors of paint and bend them randomly on half a piece of paper. Then close the other half of the paper, press it lightly, and finally open the paper and remove the yarn. Let the children observe and imagine what the pattern looks like. Some children said it looked like a flying saucer, some said it looked like a bird, and some said it looked like an owl. I immediately asked the children to demonstrate how to add paintings based on their own imagination. Gu Yuxuan’s child only drew a few strokes on the paper, and the birds came to life and appeared on the paper. I inspired: "Where do birds like to be? What do birds like to do the most?" ? \"So, the children added trees, grass, sun, white clouds and a few small butterflies on the paper. This made the picture vivid and interesting. The other children were eager to try it and wanted to do it themselves. Because the painting method is simple and easy for children to master, coupled with their strong interest, children immersed themselves in the whole activity and drew "turtles making friends", "birds singing", "deer racing", " "Rocket launch" and other strange pictures, and also made up an interesting story for his painting, the effect is very good.
3. Children learn how to draw such imaginary paintings. I often ask children to observe the patterns appearing on the same picture from different angles, and then start to imagine, associate, and talk about their own ideas. I also made up a lyric, "I look up and down, left and right, to see what it looks like?" This way the children's thinking suddenly broadened. When the missing parts of the imagination are added, the children's works are different and unrecognizable.
For example: Give children a colorful irregular figure and let them observe and imagine it from different angles. Some of them are posted vertically, with pictures like houses, umbrellas, Transformers, etc.; some are posted horizontally, with pictures like bridges, activity equipment, etc. ; Others are pasted diagonally or in a corner, as part of the imagination, and the things added are diverse.
4. Pay attention to the development of evaluation activities and implement successful education for children.
In the evaluation, teachers should evaluate each child positively, praise even the slightest progress, and use suggestions and discussion to make corrections for their shortcomings. I often use "the painting is really interesting" and "the painting is awesome" to affirm children's creations and encourage children's imagination. Children are also asked to make their own paintings into a story and tell them to everyone. This not only improves the children's oral expression skills, but also further enriches and improves the children's imagination. Children gain confidence from success and increase their interest in art activities. I also inspire children to evaluate each other's works, so that children can learn from others' strengths, make up for their own shortcomings, and learn from the methods and experiences of good works, so as to promote and improve each other.
