Jiujiang County Central Kindergarten Xiong Shengzhi Line drawing is the oldest and most primitive painting method of mankind. It is a virtual, suggestive and decorative visual language used to express objective things or subjective imagination on a plane. It refers to a painting method that uses changes in lines to depict objects and their physical structures. It is one of the important forms of traditional Chinese painting. Chinese painting has a long history, among which line drawing is a dazzling landscape in world art. The British art critic Roger Frye wrote: "The first thing that strikes one's attention in Chinese art is the rhythm of the line that occupies the first place. We notice that the rhythm of this line always has the characteristics of flow and continuity... This can really be said to be a kind of use. Draw dancing curves with your hands.” The materials are also very simple, with a piece of white paper and a pen, you can create beautiful works of art at will. Line drawing is loved by more and more people because of its delicate, subtle, subtle and exaggerated characteristics. In teaching children's painting, I broke through the traditional painting teaching model and boldly tried to teach children's line drawing. The purpose is to let children shape their bodies from a visual perspective and cultivate their aesthetic taste by using "lines" to shape their bodies. Therefore, how to correctly guide children's line drawing teaching has become a problem that we want to discuss together today. Cultivate children's interest in line drawing. Lines are the basic elements of painting shapes and are also elements used by authors to express emotions. Connecting a line end to end forms a shape, which represents boundaries, areas, and outlines in painting. Therefore, when teachers train children in line drawing, they must first stimulate their interest in "line". Learning to draw a single line is the basis of line drawing. It can start from random drawing, with the main purpose of cultivating interest and enhancing confidence. At the beginning, you can let the children draw whatever they want, then practice drawing a long line without breaking it, and then ask the children to fill the entire paper with one line, and then they can accept higher requirements. training. This kind of training is easy and interesting for young children. Their courage is exercised inadvertently, their confidence is slowly improved, and their emotions are gradually elevated. On the basis of the above, we can let children try some demanding exercises, such as asking: Can you draw a different line than just now? Can you draw a different line than others? Can you draw two different lines together? You can draw several different lines on paper... and through competition activities such as who draws more and whose lines are the most unique, stimulate children's creative enthusiasm. You can also improve children's creativity through group competitions. enthusiasm. Human beings have creative potential, which is innate and exists objectively. It just lacks exploration. The role of education is to awaken and cultivate it. The awakening mentioned here means that many people actually have the ability to create, but they just lack the motivation to create, or the spirit of creation. Many children always like to complain that they cannot draw when painting. In fact, they adopt passive avoidance due to psychological barriers. manner. As long as the teacher sets a slope during practice and proceeds step by step, children can actively participate. Finally, we can try to let children draw various emotional lines to improve the expressiveness of the work. Because lines first exist in a form state, and secondly they also contain rich emotions. Paul Klee once said, "A line can become one of the important elements in a painting. It can have a life of its own, an expressive force, and its own personality." In this training , we can play a piece of music at will to express our thoughts in writing. During the creation process, children will have a sense of self-satisfaction and success. Cultivate independent thinking and develop imagination. No two leaves in the world are exactly the same, and no two children are exactly the same. When children create line drawings, they can use their imagination without restrictions and use different lines and small shapes to draw more and better works that will never be repeated. Even the same child will not draw exactly the same work. In the process of painting, children are allowed to give full play to their imagination, experience the joy of relaxing their brains, and experience the satisfaction of being able to paint unique works, which greatly inspires children's enthusiasm for activities and better unleashes their creativity. Children are exposed to the world of color on a daily basis. During the graffiti and symbol stages, children's works are composed of lines and are basically colorless, all in black and white. Black and white are eternal colors and are the colors loved by many art masters in the world. Black, white and gray give people endless imagination and beauty. Line drawing can let children realize: there is no other color, black and white can be so beautiful, understand A completely different color experience than before. After children pass through the graffiti and symbol stages, they enter the image stage. Although the concept of painting is relatively stable, I still like to paint randomly according to my own wishes. Decorative line drawing allows children to fully experience their autonomy and randomness. It is full of variety and will not be repeated. You can draw whatever lines you want. There are no restrictions. At the same time, it is challenging, that is, how to draw unique works. This is in line with the young children's development at this period. age cognitive characteristics and psychological characteristics, therefore, it is easy for young children to accept and master. 3. Starting from children’s interests, fully mobilize children’s enthusiasm and improve children’s line drawing level. 1. Determine the content of line drawing according to children’s interests. Looking at the development of children’s modeling ability from an adult’s perspective, it is believed that the simpler the shape of an object, the simpler the child’s shape. The easier it is to master and accept, so the teaching materials should be arranged from simple to complex shapes to reflect the understanding process from shallow to deep.
In fact, young children rely on perception to understand things, and do not rely on the complex and simplified forms to develop their understanding. Instead, they start from the people and things they are most interested in that they are familiar with. For example, the human body is the most difficult thing for children to master in painting, but when children draw their mother, because they are the person they are most familiar with and interested in, even if the proportions of the human body they draw are not accurate, they can actively engage in painting. It can be seen that the key to choosing a theme for children's paintings lies in whether it is something the children are interested in. 2. Drive the improvement of children's basic skills through enlightenment and encouragement. On the one hand, children are often accustomed to the original color painting. When they are new to line drawing, they often lack confidence and dare not write easily. On the other hand, children have not mastered line drawing skills. Because they are too impatient and do not observe objects carefully, the lines in the picture are either too empty or too messy. Over time, children will find it too boring and lose interest. In view of the two common problems in children's online drawing activities, in children's daily life, I constantly seize educational opportunities to educate children. During outdoor activities, I give each child a piece of chalk and let the children practice drawing freely in the open space. I also talk about how interesting drawing is in a relaxed tone to stimulate the children who are afraid to draw boldly. In the teaching of line drawing for children, in addition to cultivating children's ability to draw boldly, it is more important to cultivate children's down-to-earth and serious attitude towards painting. In each line drawing exercise, the teacher requires children to draw slowly with a pen when drawing simple objects, and to make complete and clear lines when drawing complex objects. I remember once taking the children out to sketch. Some children painted very seriously, but some children were afraid of trouble and only drew the outline of the tree. So I encouraged the children and said: "The tree you drew looks very similar, but if you can put the tree on The tree pattern is even more beautiful after being drawn. "After my inspiration, the children carefully observed the tree trunk and drew the tree pattern on the tree with different lines one by one. A perfect tree has different characteristics. The combination of lines makes it particularly vivid. Cultivating children's serious and careful painting habits is not something that can be accomplished in a day. This requires teachers to have a meticulous attitude towards teaching, to infect children with patience and care, and to train children to learn to observe and think, so as to promote children's painting skills to improve day by day. Painting is a creative activity, and the teacher's task is to guide, inspire and encourage children's innovative consciousness. Children look at the world around them every day. If they are not given guidance, they may not pay attention to the appearance of objects. If our teachers provide appropriate guidance and enrich children's perceptual understanding of the surrounding things, this will be more helpful to the creation of children's paintings. . Children's painting styles are playful, random, symbolic and decorative. On the basis of mastering basic lines, children are encouraged to boldly create objects, arrange and combine different lines, and learn to decorate objects. For example, a child brought a small snail from home, which aroused great interest in the child. I observed the patterns on the snail shell with the child, and inspired the child to decorate the back shell of the small snail with various lines. He has a great interest in animals. He not only created different patterns on the back shells, but also added other scenery to enrich the picture. It can be seen that only by starting from children's interests and fully mobilizing their enthusiasm can children create rich, lively and artistic works. 4. Respect children and cultivate the individual beauty of children's line drawings. Previous children's line drawing works were often copied, and the works were similar, rigid, and single, lacking the children's unique personality and creative intentions. How to cultivate the beauty of children's line drawing works? What about personality and beauty? I think it should be cultivated from the following two aspects: First, teachers should improve children's eyesight and deepen their understanding of the artistic language of line, including the priority, smoothness, clarity and vagueness of lines; the length, thickness, and density of lines; Rhythm changes such as wet and dry, straight and straight, fast and slow can express infinitely rich emotional levels. Let children be exposed to classics from an early age and broaden their horizons, which will help them to perceive and select lines more sensitively, and consciously reveal them in their paintings. Second, teachers should give children space for personality development. Children’s personalities vary greatly. Some are rough, some are delicate, some are quiet, and some are lively. This is reflected in their works, some are unrestrained and cheerful, and some have meticulous painting styles. , appropriate everywhere. The same is true for Western art masters. Leonardo da Vinci's calm and accurate lines show the artist's precise and rational personality. The curved and turbulent lines in Van Gogh's works reflect the painter's impulsive nature; Delacroix's unrestrained and powerful lines reflect the painter's passionate character. Let children be exposed to classics from an early age and broaden their horizons, which will help them to perceive and select lines more sensitively, and consciously reveal them in sketching. Teachers should not use uniform standards to evaluate and regulate them. They should be good at encouraging and guiding, give full play to their individual strengths, and successfully reflect them in their works, so that their children's line drawing works have a material and individual beauty. Children's painting activity is a comprehensive activity, and the biggest difference between our line drawing teaching and color teaching is that black and white lines are used to shape the outline of objects. It relies on ideological enlightenment and emotional stimulation to arouse children's aesthetic ability. improvement. Therefore, children's line drawing teaching must start from the children's interests. Teachers and children fully interact, guide and encourage children to boldly imagine and conceive, so that children can experience the joy of success in the process of proactive line drawing performance. In today's field of children's painting, line drawing has increasingly become a hot topic in painting teaching for many children and teachers. It can not only shape images and convey feelings, but also cultivate children's observation, expression, creativity and imagination.
It can be seen that children's line drawing is a free expression of children's interests, thoughts, and inner potential. It is a true record of children's thinking activities and the crystallization of their imagination, creativity, and realistic abilities. What's more important is that through line drawing, children can develop their comprehensive abilities such as observation, thinking, analysis, imagination, memory, creation, etc. to achieve the purpose of quality education.
