Handicraft Essay

Carrying out handicrafts Cultivating creativity

Handicrafts class is an indispensable part of art teaching in primary and secondary schools, which includes origami, paper-cutting, cloth stickers, clay modeling and so on, and from kindergarten to primary and secondary schools, handicrafts class occupies a certain proportion in art classes. Nowadays, the main purpose of handcraft lessons is to learn how to use various tools and materials, and to shape and make different forms of handcraft works to express one's own will and exercise the coordination and dexterity of the hands. In actual lessons, some teachers neglect children's knowledge and aesthetic feeling of the shape of handmade works, and teach only the production method of a certain kind of objects, instead of showing children the possibility of different materials or the same material in the production of different performance, which will easily cause the handmade class to become a "labor" class. So, how to cultivate students' ability to use their hands and brains and creativity in the handcraft class, and how to improve students' aesthetic interest? I have made some attempts in teaching.

I. Create an open situation to stimulate students' desire to create.

China's educator Mr. Tao Xingzhi said: "Everywhere is a place of creation, every day is the time of creation, everyone is a person of creation." To cultivate students' creative ability, we should first create an open handmade teaching environment. That is to say, not confined to the 40-minute classroom teaching, so that education from the classroom to extend outside the classroom, extend the evaluation time, to create a relaxed atmosphere for students. Classroom teaching by the actual life, for specific content, create a situation to stimulate students' emotions and interest in learning, naturally, logically, introducing the subject. For example, one of the lessons that made me feel most y - "bookmark design". Before the class I managed to collect a variety of beautiful bookmarks in daily life (including colorful leaf vein bookmarks, feather bookmarks, etc.), the class I will be these different shapes of bookmarks pinned to the blackboard for everyone to visit, discuss, and to form a loose open atmosphere. Then I told a story about the origin of bookmarks. Students in this situation in the natural sublimation of feelings, everyone is eager to show that they want to make a bookmark look. Sure enough, in the homework students use different materials to design a bookmark that surprised me, some students made bookmarks also have some ethnic flavor. I also encourage students to pay attention to observation after class, seriously brainstorming, and then complete a piece of their own creative works. In this way, students use after-school time with a variety of different materials (such as: with leaves, cloth, melon shells, etc.) made a variety of bookmarks, although some are not very fine, but are creative, less similar, we look at their own handmade works, the heart is full of joy, a smile on the face. Facts have proved that the students to create a good, open learning atmosphere and environment, can stimulate students' desire to create, is conducive to the development of students' sense of innovation.

Two, respect for students' individuality, play the students' creative ability.

Children's imagination and creativity is the children through the imagination of the perceived image of the material to analyze, synthesize, process, transform, create a new image of the mental quality and ability. Art is nobility in innovation, handmade class in teaching to respect students' individuality, give full play to students' imagination and creativity, let the students spread the wings of imagination, create opportunities for students to perform, so that they can perform, free to create. For example, when guiding students to make, I ask students to establish the concept of difference, make different works, give play to the imagination of students, and cultivate students' creative ability. For example, in the fourth-grade lesson "The Car I Built", I first find some demonstration works of different shapes and guide students to appreciate and observe the various expressions of the works, so that students will realize: a work can be done this way or that way, and they can do it according to their own ideas. In this way, students make colorful works according to their own ideas and express their individual characteristics. At the same time, I also have a special conception, the production of exquisite works to comment on the innovative spirit of the students to give praise, greatly enhancing the interest of students in handmade. In teaching, respect for students' individuality, play the students' creative ability, so that the works have distinctive personal characteristics and unique style, and then achieve the purpose of innovation.

Third, students do hands-on, in practice to master manual skills.

Student hands-on is an important part of learning handmade. Students can only find problems and raise questions when they are operating on their own, and teachers can help students answer questions in a targeted way. Therefore, I try to break through the limitations of classroom teaching time, change the phenomenon that teachers talk a lot and demonstrate a lot, and increase the time for students to operate. For example, in the lesson of "fabric sticker painting", I first briefly explained how to make fabric sticker painting, and then let the students do it. As the fabric cut and draw more time-consuming than the general stickers, single production of a class can not see the results, I will let the students divided into a group of several people, set a good group leader, group members *** with the discussion, mutual cooperation, give full play to each student's specialties: some cut, some pull, some paintings, some stickers ...... When they encounter difficulties Teachers give appropriate guidance. A lesson down, the results of the collective production is presented in front of everyone. In teaching more students to do it themselves, give students more time, let them understand, feel, in practice to master the manual skills, experience the thrill of success.

Four, the use of electronic means of teaching, deepen understanding, and cultivate students' creative ability.

With the progress of modern science and technology, computers, slides, projectors and other electronic media into the classroom, not only enriches the teacher's teaching methods, but also, the appropriate use of a variety of electronic media for teaching, can deepen the students' understanding of the handmade methods and techniques, on the basis of which to cultivate the students' creative ability. For example: in the teaching of "leaf sticker" a lesson, the use of traditional lecture method, students are difficult to master the production method, it is difficult to stimulate students' interest in learning. The use of physical projector to display works and introduce the production method, intuitive image, vivid and specific, can let students y understand the production skills, further think about the improvement method, and cultivate students' innovation ability. At the same time, it also greatly improves students' learning enthusiasm.

V. Reduce students' psychological pressure and enhance students' initiative and enthusiasm.

Homework is one of the criteria for evaluating the degree of mastery of students' knowledge and skills and the effectiveness of classroom teaching, but the homework completed by the students (crafts produced) does not fully represent everything, the students in the process of completing the homework to gain experience and lessons learned which is the most important. In handicraft production, some students worry that they can't do it well, which creates psychological pressure. In order to reduce the students' psychological burden, enhance learning confidence, I pay attention to create a relaxed learning atmosphere, as long as the students' works can show the characteristics of crafts can be, so that students from like and unlike the "old frame" out. Art class work is a kind of artistic creation activities, should encourage students in a relaxed and happy environment, bold imagination, in-depth thinking, in the production of allowing repeated modifications, or completely different from the conventional methods to produce, according to their own personality to produce a "beautiful" works. In this way, students can learn easily and happily, and enhance the initiative and enthusiasm for learning.

In summary, a good elementary school handmade class, we should strive to create a good learning environment for students, according to the age of the students, respect for their individuality, give full play to their imagination, and actively carry out practical activities, so as to cultivate the students' creative ability, and produce more creative works.
