How to create rural elementary school art characteristics according to local conditions

With the continuous advancement and deepening of the new curriculum standards, as an art teacher in a rural school, I have been trying to: under the new teaching concept, how to make our art class not lose its characteristics? In the countryside, there are no art museums, galleries, history museums and other elegant art exhibitions in the city, what can be utilized? How to develop and utilize art teaching resources in rural areas? How to extend the art classroom to integrate with our life? ...... integrates rural culture into art classroom teaching, adapting to local conditions, so that students can use rural art as a starting point to enter the world's multicultural realm.

1. Take the native media of our hometown as the carrier, develop the natural resources of the countryside, and make art teaching and life closely integrated.

Art teachers should make full use of the rural natural environment resources, develop teaching content, design courses related to students' life experience, and carry out teaching activities. For example, in handicraft class, I let the students on the ground, bring home the most earth, the most common sticks, eggshells, corn, red beans, green beans, melon seeds ...... will be these materials to the art class, not only to make them feel fun, interesting, and re-discovery of the earth products turned out to be very beautiful, and their colors, shapes, and textures vary, the art teacher should make full use of these special materials to develop teaching content. The collages and handicrafts made with these special materials are so delicate and beautiful. The students were excited and inspired to love nature and life.

The countryside is not rich in public **** cultural facilities, such as art museums, libraries, galleries, etc., but it has a pure and simple, can be utilized teaching resources. Straw, stones, roots, leaves ...... in the countryside, these are very special art media, the closer to life and fragrant and earthy materials, the more development and creative value. We should guide students to use a variety of life materials to create, encourage them to boldly explore more materials, boldly try newer methods of expression.

2. With the rich regional folk art as the background, we develop cultural resources, so that the teaching highlights the learning of art and culture.

"Art is not only the training of skills and techniques, but also a kind of cultural learning. Through the study of art, students can understand different history, culture, economy, geography and other related knowledge, and recognize the characteristics of art, the diversity of art expression and the unique contribution of art to social life." This is a major feature of art education in the new century. China is an ancient, civilized country with a long history and culture, but we have discarded our traditional handmade art in teaching, and while the modern economy is developing, the excellent folk art and traditional handicrafts are facing destruction and extinction, so how to make these local fine arts with artistic charms and individual characteristics to be passed on and carried forward, we still have to use our art courses to guide students to participate in the Inheritance and exchange of folk culture. Teachers according to the existing teaching content, to further explore the connotation of the textbooks, combined with local cultural characteristics, the original teaching content selection, mining and processing, so that it is more conducive to the overall development of students, teachers to form their own unique teaching style, and is conducive to the formation of the local characteristics of art teaching.

3, according to the rural local resources to set up a theme, to carry out thematic art extracurricular activities

The so-called thematic art extracurricular activities, that is, the teacher to provide students with a theme, so that students give full play to their own subjective initiative around the theme, the use of all the available resources, through the use of a variety of techniques or forms to carry out creative activities. In the current practice, it is mainly under the guidance of the teacher and the free development of students' creative activities. This is an effective way to develop and improve the combination of local culture and art education in rural towns. At the same time, it is also the development of students' hands, brain and creative ability, in such activities, their self-consciousness, collaborative ability will be exercised, interest will be increased, to promote the development of students' personality to provide an effective way.

The choice of theme is very important, not only to highlight the characteristics of the school, but also to take into account the student's "hot spots", so that students can explore, mobilize the enthusiasm of the students, so that the students to participate and performance. Located in the northern mountainous areas, we do not have as many choices as urban areas in terms of information, materials, materials, etc., but we still have our own local characteristics, such as: our school is at the foot of the famous Ancestral Mountain (Laoling), on the mountain there is the world's rare Tiannu Magnolia; there is the Great Wall, a famous monument in China and abroad; there is a unique fusion of the Manchu and Han Chinese living customs ......

In the art of thematic extracurricular activities in the tutorial, we strive to tap into local resources, promote local characteristics, we are based on the unique resources of this hometown, carefully organized students to carry out thematic art extracurricular activities in the content of the characteristics of the local resources and culture: such as letting the students hands on the design of Nuo Dance Masks; hometown of The local customs and people for printmaking content; design scenarios activities, so that children play in the middle school, learning to play, not happy.

"Teachers of art classes at all levels and types of schools to actively explore, the courage to reform the teaching content and teaching methods. Art teachers should make full use of and develop the cultural and artistic educational resources of their own regions and nationalities to expand the space for art education and improve the quality of art teaching." In the National Plan for the Development of Art Education in Schools (2001-2010), the requirements for art teachers are clearly stated. Developing new teaching content is a kind of creation, a key step for art teachers to form a special class. In the deepening of the new curriculum standards, teachers have explored how to make art lessons with their own characteristics? Characteristic art class how to make it better, more students **** Ming?

Vernacular art to be applied in the classroom teaching and play a characteristic, teachers should be familiar with the local traditional folk art, forms and related knowledge background, etc., the teaching conditions have a considerable understanding and investigation, teachers have to do a good job in teaching before the collection of sufficient information. As long as teachers plan carefully and prepare adequately, the art classroom will have unexpected teaching effects. "Understand, protect and promote China's outstanding traditional culture, and penetrate into their own teaching to trigger students' love and understanding of Chinese culture." The new curriculum increasingly requires teachers to have the ability to develop localized and vernacular curricula, and to learn to handle various teaching materials flexibly and study them in depth.

The teacher will be a pioneer and creator, and the diversified and selective curriculum requires art teachers to continuously improve themselves in teaching, update their teaching concepts, and constantly improve their cultural literacy and business skills in order to form their own distinctive teaching styles and walk with the new curriculum!
