Three, how to guide young children to folk art appreciation

In the guidance of young children to folk art appreciation activities, teachers should pay attention to the following:

(a) in the appreciation of art in education to attach importance to and strengthen the teachers, children and works of art of the interaction between the three and the interaction and communication.

Before teachers educate young children in art appreciation, they themselves should have a reasonable explanation of the meaning of the art work, and have a certain understanding and appreciation of the form of art. For example, teachers must understand the possible symbolic meanings of formal language such as line, shape, color, and composition, and the principles of formal beauty such as symmetry and balance, rhythm and rhyme, and change and unity.

The teacher-student relationship is one of equality. Although the teacher has an expectation of the meaning of the work of art before guiding the children to appreciate it, it does not mean that the children have to accept this expectation of the teacher unconditionally; they can still have their own understanding. There is no right or wrong understanding of art works, only different understandings, and the mutual communication between the appreciators and the art works is more of non-verbal communication through aesthetic experience and realization.

(2) To provide children with a large number of opportunities to appreciate and expand the appreciation surface.

Teachers should appropriately give young children a certain amount of art appreciation of the basic art language and the principles of formal beauty, so that they can understand the author's intention in art appreciation, and help them to deepen their understanding of the work. At the same time, give young children the opportunity and time to fully experience, let them repeatedly and many times to perceive, experience, simple description in layman's language, fully mobilize and enhance young children's observation, artistic imagination and expression ability.

The classroom where children learn to live is an important place for art appreciation, and the beautiful environment can make children be influenced by the subtle influence of folk art atmosphere. Therefore, we need to have a planned and purposeful layout of the space, so that the limited space to live up, so that children can appreciate a large number of works of art, in the process of feeling the beauty of the process by the cultivation of infection.

In the main wall of the classroom can be designed to produce some of the story reflecting the goodness and beauty of the pattern, such as "Magic Brush Ma Liang", "Sima Guang to save the children", etc., the secondary wall can be decorated with some brightly colored kites, rice paper batik, embroidery fabrics. In the glass cut and paste some lifelike "magpies ascend to the plum", "lotus birth", "pine and crane with spring" and other patterns. The ethnic craft area is decorated with ethnic dolls with different postures, delicate and chic pottery products, and colorful Peking Opera faces. For children to create an excellent, upward humanistic environment, so that children in the immersive observation, imagination, the pursuit of beauty.

(C) Guide children to express their aesthetic feelings in many ways.

When the children are appreciating the folk art works, the teacher should guide them to use the way of discussing while experiencing, so that the children can express their feelings through their full sensual experience. There are various ways to express this feeling, such as language, body movement and so on. When enjoying the Chinese New Year painting "Liannian Yuyu", children will be y attracted, envisioning themselves as the lovely fat doll, and will use many words to describe their feelings, such as "happy", "happy", "happy" and so on. "

As a result of this, people are more likely to feel the same way.

Because of the characteristics of folk art itself, it can be combined with folk festivals, folk literature, folk music, folklore and so on, to better educate young children to appreciate art.

(a) Combine folk art appreciation with folk festivals.

China has many folk festivals, such as the Lantern Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and so on. Festivals come with lights and colors everywhere, overflowing with festive atmosphere. We should seize these favorable opportunities to educate young children. For example: the Lantern Festival, the teacher to the classroom is very festive, cut and paste a "Lian Lian Yu" picture on the main wall, the door hung on the door, but also with the children together in a joyful folk music accompanied by the arrangement of lanterns, to appreciate the exquisite patterns, colorful lanterns, improve the children's perceptions of the folk colors, the development of children's imagination. The children's imagination is also developed.

(2) Combine folk art appreciation with folk literature.

Folk literature has a wide range of subjects and rich content, including myths and legends, folk tales, folk rhymes, folk fairy tales, etc., reflecting the excellent qualities and virtues of the Chinese working people. In the process of children's appreciation of art works, we can appropriately add the content of folk literature to help children understand the connotation of art works, enrich language knowledge and understand folk culture. For example, when appreciating the folk imaginative painting "Dayu Healing the Water", the teacher can insert stories about Dayu's perseverance, which y touches the children and fosters the national sentiment without them realizing it. When guiding children to appreciate the different styles and beautifully drawn kites, teachers can introduce a kite ballad to children: "The cold food in March is Qingming, ten sisters went to trekking, and flew kites as a side trip, and the elder sister flew a small Zhangsheng ......" This kite ballad describes the popularity of this popular kite festival in China. The kite ballad describes the kite-flying activity that is widely spread in the country and deepens the children's understanding of folk art.

(3) Combining folk art and folk music.

Music is the wings of imagination, and beautiful music creates passion. In the appreciation of folk embroidery "phoenix through peony", "phoenix and sunrise", "lion rolling embroidered ball" and other works, the teacher can choose the music of the national instrument pipa for children. When appreciating ceramics, select the music of guzheng. When appreciating paper-cutting, the music of folk music will be used. The beautiful atmosphere coupled with the teacher's guidance, so that young children have a strong interest in it, cultivate the sentiment and soul.

(D) folk art appreciation combined with folklore.

The content and form of folk art are mostly constrained by folk activities or folk psychology, which is more prominent in clay sculpture, New Year's paintings, paper-cutting. When appreciating such works, teachers can tell children some folk customs, so that children can understand the folk artists through some allegorical or symbolic graphics, to express the wish for peace and good luck, many children. Such as clay sculpture in the "big Ah Fu", "light top doll" and so on, let the children taste the charm of folk art.

In addition, we have to make full use of all kinds of modern educational means, such as slides, video, multimedia and so on. Adopting appropriate methods, such as observation and analysis, explanation and demonstration, image and analogy, etc., can strongly improve the children's ability to appreciate art.

Famous educator Chen Heqin old Mr. believes that "children for the environment of various things must be seen, ears to hear, hands to touch, in order to understand the truth and nature of things." So we need to pay attention to strengthen the early childhood folk art appreciation education, stimulate young children's interest in folk art, and improve their aesthetic interests.
