In addition to simply holding a pen and drawing, art can also train children's thinking, training thinking ability is how to train? Because in art even without a pen can draw, for example: fingers can draw, arms can draw, with different materials collage together is also a very fine art, so art is not only with a pen in the painting, as long as the brain, conversion thinking, works have different ways of expression, so young children from an early age to have the ability to think, so that young children have mastered a very important quality, that is, the flexibility of adaptability and creativity, so that the children can be trained to be flexible.

Painting exhibitions and auctions, as well as participation in national or international painting competitions, are a way for individuals to participate in society, and to be evaluated and reflected by society. Young children visit the exhibition, but also with others to interact, meet new friends and partners, know the masters of the painting, understand the creation of the painting age and background, to enrich the knowledge of young children, a variety of competitions are also required to go through the initial and final evaluation, the experience of the process so that the children more comprehensive understanding of the importance of a one-point-one-piece harvest.

The problems of traditional art education in the real world

1. The lagging educational philosophy

In the traditional education classroom teachers are very serious about teaching students to learn to draw, for example, take the example of apples, in order to teach everyone to draw apples, art teachers specifically In order to teach the students to draw apples, the art teacher sent each of them an apple to observe. The motive was good, but the result was problematic, all the students drew apples that were big and red, and the teacher was very satisfied with his painstaking efforts. The boy was criticized by his parents for his ugly drawing. Let's reflect on this: Who dares to guarantee that apples must be round? Is the boy really wrong?

2. Deviation from the law of education

There are a lot of parents in the child 5/6 years old when the child is prescribed to learn to sketch, in fact, the parents do not understand what is sketching, in the children 5, 6 years old, the rich creative ability of the best age prematurely to the child to put on the yoke, the confinement of the children's thinking.

3. Lack of emotional development of young children

Let's see whose drawing is the most beautiful. This is one of the favorite things that teachers and parents like to do in the classroom, every time you see children with very skillful techniques, parents praised, really good ah, really beautiful ah, in fact, we should be too much to find children in the works presented in the feelings and emotions, in the works, if you pay more attention to the children's emotions, you can certainly find your children's mental development is healthy.

Three, young children's learning styles - a combination of multiple forms of teacher instruction

Speaking of early childhood art education, we have to put forward the issue of educational methods and approaches, in the traditional classroom, too much emphasis and emphasis on the mechanical imitation and the emphasis on acceptance of knowledge, and skills. In the traditional classroom, too much emphasis is placed on mechanical imitation and acceptance of knowledge and mastery of skills, Nanjing Normal University professor Kong Qiying pointed out in the "preschool education information and research" in the fourth issue of 2005, "on the understanding of the misunderstanding of the early childhood art education," " ① in the process of the specific aesthetic education, the teacher centered on the text of the art, the mastery of the art knowledge of the material conditions of the instillation of the art knowledge. In the process of specific aesthetic education, teachers center on the art text and instill their knowledge of art into children, ignoring children's own aesthetic perception, aesthetic imagination and aesthetic emotional experience, and children's learning is controlled by imitating the model paintings and passively accepting the process, and children's enthusiasm and initiative in learning are coldly neglected. There is no self-expression process, so that children quickly lose interest in the quality of education advocated by many teachers today began to pay attention to the ways and means of teaching, recognizing that the students are now the main body of the classroom, the teacher is mainly used to actively guide the strategy to stimulate young children's interest in independent learning

1. Teaching aids intuitive demonstration to introduce the students into the scene

1. p>

In art teaching, because the young children's segment is small, the way of thinking is still in the figurative thinking ability, concrete action thinking, intuitive image thinking is in the dominant position. The use of intuitive demonstration method can be fun, in teaching, you can use electronic teaching equipment to reproduce the content of the teaching situation or collection and content-related objects, pictures to create a situation, let the children into the situation, through the situation of understanding, independent learning. For example, in the "Dutch windmill" art teaching activities, activities, teachers can use multimedia slideshow pictures to guide children to appreciate the observation, I believe that the unique architecture of the Netherlands, colorful tulips, and white windmills, the picture of the visual impact of the intuitive beautiful, will be very good to stimulate the children's interest in learning.
