How to use a variety of materials for art teaching

A colorful material, more creative

Nowadays, young children's art activities in a variety of forms, is not limited to simple paper and colored pencils to draw, in the process of learning experience found that young children's art forms in the continuous expansion. There are simple and creative drag-print painting, there are various techniques, easy to change the sand painting, there are simple methods, diverse shapes of ink blowing paintings ...... It is not difficult to find that these forms of art are different from the children's previous painting experience, give up the simple pen and paper painting, and more of a fun, creativity. In these forms, the provision of materials is extremely important, if there is no adequate preparation of materials, and then creative ideas can only be on paper. In the past, the tools and materials used by children in art activities as well as the movements of painting were taught by teachers, and the final result was that the paintings were obviously the same as those of adults. However, the drawings created by young children are not overly conceptualized and patterned as those of adults. They like to use exaggerated techniques and add their own ideas, and such works are often the result of young children spreading their wings of imagination and actively and enthusiastically devoting themselves to creation. They regard this process as a kind of enjoyment, regardless of whether they can or can't, as long as they think that way, they dare to draw and experiment boldly. The lines are free and unrestrained, and they are never discouraged by the lack of sufficient expressive ability. However, because of the limitations of the materials, children's interest in drawing in kindergarten is slowly decreasing, and the same characters appear in different thematic activities, and children gradually lack creativity. Therefore, it is necessary to change the previous form of painting, mobilize children's enthusiasm, so that they can create more colorful works.

The material can also become the children's "drawing paper", according to the theme of "how people work" opened a clothing store, please children to be a small designer, in the "clothing store" activities, first of all, the children's work, the children's work, the children's work, the children's work, the children's work, the children's work, the children's work. In the "clothing store" activities, first in the art district area designed "clothing store", children in the "buying and selling" process, the types of clothing have a preliminary understanding. In the process of the activity, I consciously let the children observe the shape of the clothes, the fabrics and the patterns on them, and compare and talk about the differences in the clothes, such as the different textures, the different collars, and the different thicknesses of the clothes. After a few days of activities, the children became very interested in clothes. They came to the clothing store to design clothes, sell clothes, buy clothes, and when the time was ripe, I inspired the children to design a variety of different clothing shapes and put them in the "clothing store" to sell, and the children's interest was once again aroused. After a period of time, we also according to the change of seasons, make and draw "winter cotton clothes", "scarf", "hat", "gloves" and so on, "winter clothes", "winter clothes", "winter clothes", "winter clothes", "winter clothes", "winter clothes", "winter clothes", "winter clothes", "winter clothes" and so on. "In the "Summer Beachwear" class, we used different waste materials to make cool summer clothes, which infiltrated painting techniques such as using waste materials to make symmetrical patterns. In this way, the use of children's interest in the game to further stimulate children's interest in learning art and a strong desire to draw, so as to achieve the purpose of teaching.

Second, the idea of flying, clever use of materials

Now many parents like to send their children to art classes during the holidays, which shows that parents have recognized the importance of art in the early development of young children's intelligence. It is interesting to note that children who have not participated in art training for young children tend to create new and unique works, and are able to create more freely with their own ideas, utilizing the materials around them. Trained children, however, are limited to the techniques they have learned and do not utilize the materials as well as they could. This is the question we want to explore, why young children who have spent money on training are worse off than those who have not gone out for training. When teaching is not done properly, it is counterproductive and not what is intended. Art teachers are designers, inspirers, guides, and encouragers, not mere "pedagogues" who teach skills and methods. This kind of dogmatic teaching style, which emphasizes only technology but not artistic creativity and imagination, seriously destroys children's creativity, imagination, judgment and interest in learning, and also limits their future development. Young children are bound by too many adult patterns and lose their individuality. They do not have their own way of observing and thinking, and they only use the learned techniques to repeat the performance of one or two copied moves, and are at a loss when they are confronted with the rich materials for creation. On the other hand, young children who have never specialized in painting have great plasticity. Although there is no copying skills, but once inspired by the instructions, the enlightenment, its progress is immeasurable.

In the art activity "decorative vase", I let the children at home beforehand to collect a variety of waste materials to bring, let them according to their own imagination, through the cutting, sticking, folding and other methods to bring their own materials to use up in the production of young children before viewing a variety of vases, say which places can be transformed, using their own materials to make the vase. Before making the vase, we asked the children to look at the various vases and say what can be modified, use the materials they brought to process and decorate, and design their own vases. After a lively exchange and discussion, the children began to operate. During the operation, some of the children had a single material, so they were told that they could exchange the materials with each other, so that their works would be more perfect. After the activity, a vase full of ideas was finished. I will show their works one by one, give them a sense of achievement, increase their self-confidence, in the future activities of the children will be more active hands-on, bold imagination.

Third, the collection of materials, rich in content

Because the children's painting materials are funded by the school, so it is difficult to increase the painting materials. We have to make reasonable use of the resources around us and recreate them to maximize their value. Many objects used in children's daily life can be utilized to become a material in the operation, for example, in the process of children's ink blowing painting, simple blowing painting can at first arouse children's temporary interest, but children's skills are limited, and their works are often presented in more or less the same form, if the use of the surrounding beverage straws, chopsticks and other materials, ink blowing painting reprocessing, a piece of beautiful and different works will be presented again. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how you are doing it.

Life is full of painting materials, what can a discarded toothbrush do, what can a pebble picked up by the river do, how to make these worthless things to regenerate value. In our art teaching activities for early childhood teachers, in addition to maintaining the traditional crafts of paper and clay projects, we can also choose the common wood blocks, stones, plastic bottles, bags, used cartons, disposable tableware, and other natural objects in our lives, used objects as materials for creation. At present, the introduction of handmade new materials and new techniques of the books can be described as a wide variety of books, we should continue to learn, will be good resources, good ideas into the campus to improve the aesthetic creative ability of young children, so that the traditional manual teaching revitalization. In the usual life of learning to provide children with more rich, a variety of operating materials, and invite children to independently explore more methods of operation, rather than the stereotypical drawing process can attract the interest of young children. Teachers should do a good job of guiding children before they operate, and let them gradually utilize various materials to operate in a step-by-step manner. To encourage, praise the children, stimulate them to participate in the production of enthusiasm for art activities to produce a strong interest, and gradually to a variety of ways to operate into their own ability to use the materials freely, and will be the children's work on display to encourage children to boldly and positively create, and enhance the children's self-confidence.
