Preface

The manual “Lessons in Fine Arts in the Senior Group of Kindergarten” is addressed to teachers of preschool educational institutions working under the “Program of Education and Training in Kindergarten” edited by M.A. Vasilyeva, V.V. Gerbova, T.S. Komarova.
The book includes a program of visual activities for the senior group and notes on drawing, modeling and appliqué classes, arranged in the order in which they should be carried out. This does not mean, however, that educators should blindly follow the order proposed in the book. Sometimes life requires a change in the sequence, for example, a teacher makes changes to the topic of classes, dictated by regional characteristics, the need to reduce the gap between two classes that are interrelated in content, or the need to develop formative skills, etc.
The classes presented in the book are developed taking into account the age capabilities and psychological characteristics of children 5–6 years old and are based on the following provisions.
Visual activity is part of all educational work in preschool educational institutions and is interconnected with all its other areas: familiarization with the surrounding objective world, social phenomena, nature in all its diversity; familiarization with various types of art, both classical, modern and folk, including literature, as well as a variety of activities for children.
Particularly important for the upbringing and development of a child is the connection between drawing, modeling and applique classes with a variety of games. A diverse connection with play increases children’s interest in both visual activities and play. In this case, it is necessary to use various forms of communication: creating images and products for games (“a beautiful napkin for a doll’s corner”, “a treat for animal toys”, etc.); use of gaming methods and techniques; the use of playful, surprise moments, situations (“to make friends for a bear”, “to paint the wings of a butterfly - its decorations were washed off the wings by the rain”, etc.) in all types of activities (drawing, modeling, appliqué). It is necessary to provide children with the opportunity to depict how they played a variety of role-playing and outdoor games.
To enrich figurative ideas, develop aesthetic perception and imagination, and successfully master children’s visual arts, the relationship between classes and didactic games is important. You can learn more about this from the book “Continuity in the formation of artistic creativity of children in kindergarten and primary school.” The book also presents lesson notes on creating didactic games with children, which can be used by teachers when working with children in the senior and preparatory groups.
For the development of children's creativity, it is important to create an aesthetic developmental environment, gradually including children in this process, causing them joy, pleasure from the cozy, beautiful environment of the group, play corners; using individual and collective drawings and appliques created by children in the design of the group. Of great importance is the aesthetic design of classes, thoughtful selection of materials for classes, the format of paper for drawings, applications, corresponding to the size and proportions of the depicted objects, the color of the paper; thoughtful selection of visual aids, paintings, toys, objects, etc.
The emotional well-being of children in the classroom is important, created by content that is interesting to them, the friendly attitude of teachers towards each child, the development of confidence in their abilities, the respectful attitude of adults towards the results of children's artistic activities, their use in the design of group and other premises of the child care institution, nurturing children to have a positive, friendly attitude towards each other, etc.
The development of any abilities of preschoolers, including children 5–6 years old, is based on the experience of direct knowledge of objects and phenomena, sensory education. It is necessary to develop all types of perception, to include alternate movements of the hands of both hands (or fingers) in the process of mastering the shape and size of objects, their parts, so that the image of hand movements, sensorimotor experience is consolidated, and on the basis of it the child can subsequently independently create images of various objects and phenomena . This experience should be constantly enriched and developed, forming imaginative ideas about already familiar objects.
In order to develop freedom of creative decision in children, it is necessary to teach them formative movements, hand movements aimed at creating images of objects of various shapes, first simple and then more complex, in all types of activities (drawing, sculpting and appliqué). This will allow children to depict various objects and phenomena of the surrounding world. The better a child masters form-building movements in the second youngest and then in the middle group, the easier and more freely he will be in the older groups to create images of any objects, showing creativity. It is known that any purposeful movement can be made on the basis of existing ideas about it. The idea of ​​the movement produced by the hand is formed in the process of visual as well as kinesthetic (motor-tactile) perception. The formative movements of the hand in drawing and sculpting are different: the spatial properties of the depicted objects in the drawing are conveyed by the contour line, and in sculpting - by mass and volume. Hand movements when drawing differ in nature (pressure force, scope, duration), so we will consider each type of visual activity included in the pedagogical process separately.
It is important to remember that all types of visual activities must be interconnected, because in each of them children reflect objects and phenomena of the surrounding life, games and toys, images of fairy tales, nursery rhymes, riddles, songs, etc. Creating images in drawing, modeling, appliqué and the formation of creativity are based on the development of the same mental processes (perception, figurative representations, thinking, imagination, attention, memory, manual skill, etc.), which, in turn, develop in these types of activities.
In all classes, it is important to develop the activity and independence of children, to arouse the desire to create something useful for others, to please children and adults. Children should be encouraged to remember what they saw interesting around them, what they liked; learn to compare objects; ask, activating the experience of the children, what they have already drawn or sculpted similar to how they did it; call a child to show all the children how one or another object can be depicted.
In the older group, examining images created by children and evaluating them is of particular importance. The experience children have acquired by this age in visual arts, examining the drawings, sculpting, and appliqués they have created, both individual and collective, gives them the opportunity to create a wide variety of paintings, sculptures, and appliqués, using the acquired skills, knowledge and abilities, and also allows them consciously evaluate the resulting images. Gradually, from the general assessment of “like”, “beautiful”, children should be led to highlight those qualities of the image that make up its beauty and cause a feeling of pleasure. To do this, it is necessary to draw children's attention to what the created image looks like: what is the shape, size, arrangement of parts, how the characteristic details are conveyed. When looking at a created plot image with children, you should pay their attention to how the plot is conveyed (in drawing, modeling, appliqué), what images are included in it, whether they correspond to the content of the selected episode, how they are located on a sheet of paper, stand (in modeling ), how the ratio of objects in size is conveyed (in composition), etc. By asking questions, the teacher activates the children, directs their attention to the quality of the image, its expressiveness. Each lesson should end with an assessment of children's work. If there is no time left for evaluation, you can evaluate the work in the afternoon. It is advisable to supplement the assessment given to the work by the children, to emphasize something, highlight it, and summarize the lesson.
The activities proposed in the manual are designed so that they do not overload children, and the timing of their implementation complies with the requirements of SanPin. In the senior group, there are 3 classes in visual arts per week - 12 classes per month. In those months with 31 days, the number of classes may increase by 1–2. In this case, educators independently determine which classes are best taught as additional ones.
The lesson notes are compiled according to the following structure: program content, methods of conducting the lesson, materials for the lesson, connections with other classes and activities.
At the beginning of the year (September, the first half of October) and at the end (May), you can conduct a diagnostic lesson to determine the level of development of children's creativity (a description of the methodology for conducting such a lesson and processing its results is given on pp. 114–124).
We hope that the book will be useful to teachers of preschool institutions, additional education groups, and heads of clubs and studios. The author will gratefully accept comments and suggestions.

Visual arts classes are held in kindergarten in all age groups from 2 to 4 times a week.
The content of classes is planned by the teacher in accordance with the requirements of the program for a given age and taking into account the knowledge and visual skills that children have.
Preschoolers can engage in visual arts outside of group classes, during the time allotted for games. The teacher should support this desire in every possible way, encourage the manifestation of initiative and independence in the application of acquired visual skills.
Children's desire to draw, sculpt, and construct is short-lived and unstable. Older preschoolers experience a certain need for creative activity, which indicates that they have abilities that require attention and proper guidance from the teacher.

Types of visual activities

In kindergarten, visual activities include activities such as drawing, modeling, appliqué and design. Each of these types has its own capabilities in displaying the child’s impressions of the world around him. Therefore, the general tasks facing visual activity are specified depending on the characteristics of each type, the uniqueness of the material and the methods of working with it.
Drawing is one of children's favorite activities, giving great scope for the manifestation of their creative activity.
The themes of the drawings can be varied. The children draw everything that interests them: individual objects and scenes from the surrounding life, literary characters and decorative patterns, etc. They can use the expressive means of drawing. Thus, color is used to convey similarity with a real object, to express the attitude of the painter to the object of the image and in decorative terms. By mastering the techniques of composition, children begin to reflect their ideas in plot works more fully and richly.
However, awareness and technical mastery of drawing techniques are quite difficult for a small child, so the teacher must approach the subject of the work with great attention.
In kindergarten, colored pencils, watercolors and gouache paints, which have different visual capabilities, are used mainly.
A linear shape is created with a pencil. At the same time, one part after another gradually emerges, various details are added. The linear image is then colored. This sequence of drawing creation facilitates the analytical activity of the child’s thinking. Having drawn one part, he remembers or sees in nature which part he should work on next. In addition, linear outlines help in coloring the drawing by clearly showing the boundaries of the parts.
In painting with paints (gouache and watercolor), the creation of a form comes from a colorful spot. In this regard, paints are of great importance for the development of a sense of color and form. It is easy to convey the color richness of the surrounding life with paints: clear skies, sunset and sunrise, blue sea, etc. When executed with pencils, these themes are labor-intensive and require well-developed technical skills.
The kindergarten program determines the types of graphic materials for each age group. For senior and preparatory groups, it is recommended to additionally use charcoal pencil, colored crayons, pastel, and sanguine. These materials expand children's visual capabilities. When working with charcoal and sanguine, the image turns out to be one-color, which allows you to focus all your attention on the shape and conveyance of the texture of the object; colored crayons make it easier to paint large surfaces and large shapes; pastel makes it possible to convey a variety of shades of color.
The uniqueness of modeling as one of the types of visual activity lies in the three-dimensional method of depiction. Modeling is a type of sculpture that includes working not only with soft materials, but also with hard ones (marble, granite, etc.) - Preschoolers can master the techniques of working only with soft plastic materials that are easy to handle - clay and plasticine.
Children sculpt people, animals, dishes, vehicles, vegetables, fruits, toys. The variety of topics is due to the fact that modeling, like other types of visual activities, primarily fulfills educational tasks, satisfying the cognitive and creative needs of the child.
The plasticity of the material and the volume of the depicted form allow a preschooler to master some technical techniques in modeling faster than in drawing. For example, conveying movement in a drawing is a complex task that requires a long learning curve. Modeling makes the solution to this problem easier. The child first sculpts the object in a static position, and then bends its parts in accordance with the design.
The transfer of spatial relationships of objects in modeling is also simplified - objects, as in real life, are placed one after another, closer and further from the center of the composition. Issues of perspective in modeling are simply removed.
The main means of creating an image in modeling is the transfer of a three-dimensional form. Color is used sparingly. Usually those works that will later be used in children's games are painted.
The main place in modeling classes is occupied by clay, as the most plastic material. Well prepared, it can easily be handled by even a 2-3 year old child. Dried clay works can be stored for a long time. Plasticine has less plastic capabilities. It requires preliminary warming, while in a very hot state it loses its plasticity and sticks to the hands, causing unpleasant skin sensations. Preschoolers work with plasticine mainly outside of group classes.
In the process of practicing appliqué, children become familiar with the simple and complex shapes of various objects, parts and silhouettes of which they cut out and paste. Creating silhouette images requires a lot of thought and imagination, since the silhouette lacks details, which are sometimes the main characteristics of the object.
Application classes contribute to the development of mathematical concepts. Preschoolers become familiar with the names and characteristics of the simplest geometric shapes, gain an understanding of the spatial position of objects and their parts (left, right, corner, center, etc.) and quantities (more, less). These complex concepts are easily acquired by children in the process of creating a decorative pattern or when depicting an object in parts.
In the process of classes, preschoolers develop a sense of color, rhythm, symmetry, and on this basis, artistic taste is formed. They don't have to make up the colors or fill in the shapes themselves. By providing children with paper of different colors and shades, they develop the ability to select beautiful combinations.
Children become familiar with the concepts of rhythm and symmetry already at a young age when distributing the elements of a decorative pattern. Applique classes teach children to plan the organization of work, which is especially important here, since in this type of art the sequence of attaching parts is of great importance for creating a composition (large forms are glued first, then details; in plot works - first the background, then background objects, obscured by others, and last but not least, objects of the foreground).
Performing applicative images promotes the development of hand muscles and coordination of movements. The child learns to use scissors, cut out shapes correctly by turning a sheet of paper, and lay out the shapes on the sheet at an equal distance from each other.
Construction from various materials is associated with play more than other types of visual activities. Play often accompanies the design process, and crafts made by children are usually used in games.
In kindergarten, the following types of construction are used: from building materials, construction sets, paper, natural and other materials.
In the design process, preschoolers acquire special knowledge, skills and abilities. By constructing from building materials, they get acquainted with geometric volumetric forms, gain ideas about the meaning of symmetry, balance, and proportions. When designing from paper, children's knowledge of geometric plane figures, concepts of sides, angles, and center are clarified. The children learn the techniques of modifying flat shapes by bending, folding, cutting, gluing paper, resulting in a new three-dimensional shape.
Working with natural and other materials allows children to show their creativity and acquire new visual skills.
For constructive work, as a rule, ready-made forms are used, by connecting which children get the desired image. All types of construction contribute to the development of constructive thinking and creative abilities of children. The child needs to imagine in advance the object being created (mentally or based on an existing sample), the shape of its parts, mentally try on the ready-made forms he has, determine their suitability and then use them (connect individual parts, add details, if necessary, use coloring). The complex process of developing constructive thinking requires careful and clear guidance from the teacher. All considered types of visual activity are closely related to each other. This connection is carried out primarily through the content of the work. Some topics are common to all types - depictions of houses, transport, animals, etc. So, if preschoolers of the senior or preparatory groups depicted a hare during modeling or appliqué, then the knowledge gained in these classes about its shape, size, ratio of parts can be used in plot drawing without a special training session. At the same time, it is important to consider whether preschoolers have the necessary visual and technical techniques for this work - the ability to draw rounded shapes and arrange objects on a sheet of paper.
The connection between various types of visual activity is carried out through consistent mastery of form-building movements when working with various materials. So, it is better to start getting acquainted with the round shape with modeling, where it is given volume. In the application, the child gets acquainted with the flat shape of a circle. In drawing, a linear outline is created. Thus, when planning work, the teacher must carefully consider the use of what material will allow children to quickly and easily master image skills. The knowledge acquired by preschoolers in classes with one type of visual activity can be successfully used in classes with other types of work and with other material.

The importance of visual activities for the comprehensive development of children

Fine arts classes, in addition to completing educational tasks, are an important means of all-round development of children. Learning to draw, sculpt, appliqué, and design contributes to the mental, moral, aesthetic and physical education of preschool children.
Visual activity is closely related to the knowledge of the surrounding life. Initially, this is a direct acquaintance with the properties of materials (paper, pencils, paints, clay, etc.), knowledge of the connection between actions and the result obtained. In the future, the child continues to acquire knowledge about surrounding objects, materials and equipment, but his interest in the material will be determined by the desire to convey his thoughts and impressions of the world around him in pictorial form.
M.I. Kalinin wrote about the importance of drawing for mental development: “A person who has learned and got used to drawing will have a special approach to each new subject. He will look at it from different angles, draw such an object, and he will already have an image in his head. This means that he will penetrate deeper into the very essence of the subject.”
To correctly depict an object, you must have a clear idea of ​​it, that is, see the characteristic features of the object, their relationship to each other, shape, color. The youngest preschooler in his drawings identifies only a few of the most striking features, which are sometimes insignificant. For example, when drawing a person, children sometimes depict glasses or buttons on a non-existent dress, considering them to be the main details. As a result of targeted learning, the child begins to highlight the main, essential things in what is depicted.
In the process of visual activity, children’s visual ideas about surrounding objects are clarified and deepened. A child’s drawing sometimes indicates a child’s misconception about a subject, but it is not always possible to judge the correctness of children’s ideas by drawing or modeling. The child’s idea is broader and richer than his visual capabilities, since the development of ideas outstrips the development of visual skills. In addition, sometimes preschoolers deliberately violate the size and color of the image, trying to convey their emotional attitude towards the object. Thus, the child increases the size of the commander walking in front of the army to show his importance; he paints his favorite objects in bright colors, etc. In order for a child to be able to independently use the skills acquired by drawing one object in the depiction of a number of homogeneous ones, he must be able to generalize and operate with concepts. Currently, the question of the peculiarities of the development of a child’s thinking in connection with various types of activities has been studied quite deeply. In preschool age, in addition to visually effective forms of thinking related directly to the process of practical work, a higher level of development of thinking is also possible - visually figurative. Based on mental operations, the child can imagine the result of his work and then begin to act.
The development of visual-figurative thinking occurs during the learning process. Research by the famous teacher N.P. Sakulina showed that successful mastery of image techniques and the creation of an expressive image require not only clear ideas about individual objects, but also the establishment of connections between the appearance of an object and its purpose in a number of objects or phenomena. Therefore, before starting the image, children solve mental problems based on the concepts they have formed, and then look for ways to implement this task. A child of senior preschool age is capable of creating such real and fantastic images that he did not perceive through the senses. Recent research in this area shows that the figurative principle in children's drawings appears already in early preschool age with appropriate educational work (see T. G. Kazakova, “Younger preschoolers draw,” M., 1971). Research by V. A. Ezikeeva shows how the image created by children aged 5-7 years changes in connection with their acquisition of experience and increased mental activity in the creative process.
Visual activity is closely related to solving problems of moral education. This connection is carried out through the content of children's work, which reinforces a certain attitude towards the surrounding reality, and instilling in children observation, perseverance, activity, independence, initiative, the ability to listen and carry out a task, and bring the work started to completion.
The life around us gives children rich impressions, which are then reflected in their drawings, applications, etc. In the process of depiction, the attitude towards the depicted is consolidated, since the child again experiences the feelings that he experienced when perceiving this phenomenon. Therefore, the content of the work has a great influence on the formation of the child’s personality.

Krupskaya wrote: “We must help the child, through art, to become more aware of his thoughts and feelings, to think more clearly and feel more deeply; We must help the child to make this knowledge of himself a means of knowing others, a means of closer rapprochement with the collective, a means through the collective to grow together with others and move together towards a completely new life, full of deep and significant experiences.”
Nature provides rich material for ethical and aesthetic experiences: bright combinations of colors, a variety of shapes, the majestic beauty of many phenomena (thunderstorm, sea surf, blizzard, etc.).
Visual activities help to strengthen children’s ideas about the work of Soviet people and their way of life. For example, when getting acquainted with the city, the children draw a street on which houses stand in orderly rows, along the pavement in different directions, but cars move in a strict order, people walk along the sidewalks. In story drawings, children reflect their impressions of new buildings and depict various labor processes.
Using appliqué tools, preschoolers create decorative patterns from vegetables, fruits, and flowers. During classes on these topics, the teacher talks not only about the design, shape of the depicted objects, their color, but also about the great labor that a person has to expend on the construction of new buildings, growing agricultural products, etc. All this significantly expands the child’s understanding of labor activity of a person, contributes to the labor education of a preschooler.
In the process of drawing, sculpting, and designing, such important personality qualities as activity, independence, initiative, which are the main components of creative activity, are formed. The child learns to be active in observation, doing work, showing independence and initiative in thinking through content, selecting materials, and using a variety of means of artistic expression. Equally important is the cultivation of purposefulness in work and the ability to complete it. All methodological techniques used by the teacher in the classroom should be aimed at developing these moral qualities.
In the process of visual activity, preschoolers develop a sense of camaraderie and mutual assistance. While working on an image, children often turn to each other for advice and help. At the end of the lesson, a collective analysis of children's works is carried out, which contributes to the formation of objective assessments of their own drawings and the drawings of their comrades.
In some cases, the work of preschoolers is organized as a collective task, during which they develop the ability to work together, coordinatedly, and come to each other’s aid.
Visual activity is of great importance in solving the problems of aesthetic education, since by its nature it is an artistic activity.
It is important to cultivate in children an aesthetic attitude towards the environment, the ability to see and feel beauty, and develop artistic taste and creative abilities.
The attitude of a 2-3 year old child to the surrounding reality is characterized by insufficient differentiation of the evoked feelings. A preschooler is attracted to everything bright, sounding, and moving. This attraction seems to combine both cognitive interests and an aesthetic attitude towards the object, which are manifested both in evaluative judgments about perceived phenomena and in the activities of children. Often a younger preschooler gives a positive assessment of everything that is attractive and beloved to him, without taking into account aesthetic merits. For example, a child considers an old toy the most beautiful, since it is often used in play. Children also appreciate brightly colored, dynamic toys that have a smooth or fluffy surface, etc.
A child of older preschool age more consciously identifies the aesthetic qualities of objects. In his answers to the question: “Why is it beautiful?” - motivations indicating the aesthetic features of objects predominate: proportionality, proportionality of volumetric forms, richness of color shades.
Visual activity plays a big role in nurturing the aesthetic feelings of a preschooler. The specificity of drawing, modeling, appliqué, and design classes provides ample opportunities for experiencing beauty and for developing children’s emotional and aesthetic attitude to reality. Fine art shows a person the world of real-life beauty, shapes his beliefs, and influences his behavior.
For the successful development of aesthetic feelings in preschoolers, it is necessary that the teacher, when preparing for a lesson, take into account the extent to which the task meets the interests of the children, their inclinations, and captures them emotionally.
It is very important when explaining the task to specifically reveal the aesthetic content of the image object. Moreover, the teacher must talk about the elements of beauty in an object or phenomenon in an emotional, expressive form. If the teacher, having placed brightly colored objects as the basis for the drawing, analyzes them in an ordinary, even voice and does not find words expressing the brightness, colorfulness, unusual nature, then the children’s emotions will not be affected, they will calmly begin to “color” their drawings, not showing special interest in the depicted and his work.
To consolidate moral feelings and deepen aesthetic experiences, it is necessary to create a certain emotional mood during the lesson. For example, when drawing on the theme “Spring”, it is good to use a poem about spring, listen to P. I. Tchaikovsky’s plays “The Seasons”.
Visual activities contribute to the development of children's creative abilities, which is possible only in the process of assimilation and practical application of knowledge, skills and abilities.
Taking care of the development of children's artistic abilities, the teacher must know the moments that are the first motivating factors for attracting children's attention and interest in drawing, modeling, etc. One of these factors is often the child's deep emotional experience when perceiving an object or phenomenon - a bright picture, books, toys, festive landscape. An emotional experience will cause the child to need to tell others about this or that phenomenon and show it through visual means. By creating a drawing, the child once again experiences the emotional upsurge that was present during the observation. He takes great pleasure in the process of drawing. The child has a desire to draw every day and depict in the drawing everything that he sees around him.
Often the impetus for showing interest in visual arts is watching people drawing or doing sculpting or design. The process of adults creating vivid images in drawing, modeling, and painting makes an indelible impression on children and makes them want to try their hand. And as B.V. Joganson points out: “A person’s abilities await only a push for a person to clearly feel his calling.”
The teacher’s personal example, help, demonstration, and explanation have a huge impact on the development of a child’s artistic abilities.
A child of senior preschool age can understand many of the expressive means used by the artist. For example, in the illustrations for the fairy tale “The Snow Maiden,” the artist A.F. Pakhomov highlights the image of the Snow Maiden using color - all the people and objects around her have a real color, while the Snow Maiden is depicted in blue. This technique helps to emphasize her tenderness, fragility, and fabulousness. Children can understand that a fairy-tale image requires special pictorial forms and colors.
Also, from paintings, children become familiar with various compositional techniques for constructing an image - rendering the first and second plans, choosing a format, etc.
In the visual activities of children, their creative abilities develop, which is one of the important tasks of aesthetic education.
The organization and equipment of classes should also contribute to the aesthetic education of children. First of all, cleanliness, order, and neat arrangement of materials must be maintained: pencils must be neatly sharpened, paper cut into even sheets, clay rolled into a certain shape (ball or roller), etc. Accessories must be laid out on tables so that it is convenient and they are easy to use. Trays for paints or scraps of paper, glasses with pencils or brushes must be beautifully decorated. Such an environment will make preschoolers want to study, they will try to preserve and maintain beauty and order.
Visual aids must be made at a high artistic level.
All types of visual arts activities, when properly organized, have a positive effect on the physical development of the child. They help to raise overall vitality and create a cheerful, cheerful mood.
Vision is of great importance for drawing and sculpting. In order to draw or sculpt an object, it is not enough just to see it and recognize it. The image of an object requires a clear idea of ​​its color, shape, design, which the drawer can obtain as a result of preliminary targeted observations. The role of the visual apparatus is especially important in this work.
In the process of visual activity, the child’s visual memory is actively formed. As is known, developed memory serves as a necessary condition for successful cognition of reality, since thanks to memory processes, memorization, recognition, reproduction of cognizable objects and phenomena, and consolidation of past experience occur.
Fine creativity is unthinkable without operating with images of the child’s memory and ideas, obtained directly in the process of drawing, modeling, etc. The ultimate goal for a preschooler is such knowledge of the subject that would make it possible to master the ability to completely freely depict it from an idea.
Drawing, modeling, appliqué, and design classes contribute to the development of the child’s hand, especially the muscles of the hand and fingers, which is so important for further learning to write at school.
The labor skills acquired by children in the process of visual arts also develop the child’s hand and eye and can be used in different types of work.
During classes, the correct training position is developed, since visual activity is almost always associated with a static position and a certain pose.
Thus, fine arts classes are an important means of all-round development of children.

Conspiracies: yes or no?

According to statistics, our compatriots annually spend fabulous amounts of money on psychics and fortune tellers. Truly, faith in the power of words is enormous. But is it justified?

1) Program by Sakkulina N.P., Komarova T.S. “Art activities in kindergarten”

The authors of this program believe that aesthetic education in kindergarten creates the prerequisites for the subsequent full artistic development of each child, including the formation of visual creativity. Visual creativity in preschool children is most fully manifested in drawing, modeling, and appliqué. A big role in this process belongs to the teacher. In order to assist teachers in teaching children fine arts, a methodological manual “Artistic Activities in Kindergarten: A Guide for Teachers” was created, which reveals the content and methods of work in all groups of the kindergarten, provides recommendations for teaching children drawing, modeling, appliqué, on selecting program material for classes, establishing their sequence and relationship, and using a variety of methods for guiding children’s activities. The appendix contains sample plans and notes for individual classes.

One of the main features of the proposed methodology is that the development of children's creativity is considered in the relationship between teaching and upbringing. Much attention is paid to developing children's independence, providing ample opportunities to express their own ideas and reflect their own personal experience.

An important condition for the development of fine arts is the mastery of skills and abilities, the acquisition of knowledge about a variety of materials used in drawing, modeling, appliqué classes, and methods of working with them. This manual addresses these issues when describing work in each age group.

Most educators know what methods and techniques for teaching art exist, but do not always know how to apply them in the classroom. In this regard, the authors consider it necessary to provide descriptions of classes in the text and to disclose the use of individual methodological techniques. The manual was written taking into account research on fine arts for preschool children and practical achievements.

Research on sensory education and the formation of manual skills contributed to the improvement of methods for developing visual movements in children, mastering various methods of depiction, and creating an expressive image.

The content of classes and methods proposed in the program have been repeatedly tested both in experimental and mass kindergartens, as well as at seminars (short-term and permanent) conducted with teachers.

The program consists of five parts, which consistently reveal the methodology of working with children in fine arts in kindergarten age groups. Each part provides long-term plans for all types of fine arts and lesson notes. The form of the plans allows you to see the relationship between drawing, modeling, and appliqué with all aspects of educational work: reading, storytelling, getting to know the environment, music lessons, etc. This is especially important for beginning teachers who do not yet know how to cover all aspects of the work as a whole and present them in relationships, to ensure the most complete solution to all problems of education in various types of children’s activities. But this form is not at all mandatory for every teacher: it is provided in order to show the possibilities of long-term planning.

2) Ruskova L.V. "Program of education and training in kindergarten"

The correct and timely implementation of the “Program of education and training in kindergarten” is important for solving the problem of the comprehensive development and education of preschool children and preparing them for school. Methodological recommendations will assist teachers in organizing educational work in a preschool institution.

The manual reveals the methods of raising and teaching children of early and preschool age. The focus of educators working with young children is on the tasks of the child’s full physical development, preserving and strengthening his health, improving visual, auditory, and tactile perception, and developing initial skills in cognitive and objective activities.

Due to the fact that only through active activity can a child acquire knowledge and skills and develop his abilities, the second section of the manual - “Preschool Age” - reveals the content of different types of children's activities and methods of guiding them in all age groups.

The most important independent activity of a preschool child is play. The game develops thinking, speech, imagination, memory, learns the rules of social behavior and develops appropriate skills.

The main form of education for preschoolers is classes in which children are consistently and systematically given age-appropriate ideas about the world around them: about the world of numbers, fine and folk arts and crafts, music; form skills and abilities in practical activities, as well as initial skills in educational activities. The manual reveals the methodology for conducting classes in all sections of the program, and highlights the main methods and techniques of teaching at different age stages.

Classes are held in decorative drawing, modeling, appliqué and design. In art classes, the child’s ideas about color are significantly enriched, and the sequence of colors in the spectrum is studied. When teaching children to draw from life, the main attention is paid to conveying the relationship of objects and their parts in size - a pencil sketch of the main form is made, and then only painted. The image of a person and an animal in motion is considered.

Older children make patterns based on folk art on paper of various shapes, and paint their clay works. An asymmetrical composition is introduced, such as Khokhloma and Zhostovo paintings, when curls or flowers fill the surface of the form.

Children learn various ways to create an expressive image. An important task is to develop in the child a sense of composition, the ability to sculpt sculptural groups of 2-3 objects. Children's skills in decorative modeling are improved.

The methodological recommendations draw the attention of teachers to the fact that educational work in a preschool institution should not be limited to the classroom. The teacher should systematically encourage children to observe their surroundings (phenomena of social life, nature) during walks and everyday activities. He should be interested in everything that excites children, attracts their attention, and finds time and a topic for conversation with each pupil.

The teacher's attention is drawn to the fact that the task of comprehensive harmonious development and education of a preschool child can be successfully solved provided that age and individual characteristics are taken into account and trusting relationships are established with students. The teacher should not allow the child’s personality, independence and activity to be suppressed.

3) Program by T.S. Komarova “Fine art classes in kindergarten.”

The program considers visual arts as an important means of aesthetic education for children. It allows children to express in drawings, modeling, and applications their idea of ​​the world around them, their understanding of it and their attitude towards it. These activities bring children joy, create a positive emotional mood, and promote the development of creativity. In the process of artistic activity, children develop aesthetic perception, figurative ideas and imagination, aesthetic feelings (shape, color, composition). However, this does not happen on its own, but under the condition of systematic, purposeful and at the same time subtle and sensitive guidance of the teacher, taking into account the specifics of the child’s visual creativity.

The classes proposed in this methodology are based on the following provisions:

Fine arts classes are a means of educating children. They develop aesthetic perception, aesthetic feelings, imagination, creativity, and form imaginative ideas.

Drawing, sculpting, and appliqué classes are part of the multifaceted work of a kindergarten, so visual activities should be closely related to all aspects of educational work (getting to know the environment, playing, reading books, music classes, etc.) during which children receive a variety of impressions, knowledge.

Of particular importance is the relationship between drawing, modeling, and appliqué activities and play. This relationship is dictated by the specifics of visual activity, the desire of children to play with objects and images.

Based on this, it is advisable to use various forms of connection with the game: invite children to create drawings, modeling, appliqué, which can then be used in the game, introduce game situations and game teaching techniques into classes, invite children to reflect images of children’s games in their works: plot-based - role-playing, active, dramatization games.

The content, methodology and organization of visual arts classes should be aimed at developing children's creativity. This requires not only the development of aesthetic perception, imagination, and the formation of figurative ideas, but also children’s mastery of a variety of visual materials, various generalized methods of depiction, which make it possible to convey a wide range of phenomena and objects in drawing, modeling, and appliqué. All this allows children to freely express their ideas, evokes a positive emotional attitude towards classes, and encourages creative searches and solutions.

The classes are designed taking into account continuity between different age groups, between kindergarten and junior grades of secondary schools.

For a more systematic and planned guidance of children's visual activities, classes have been developed for a year for all kindergarten groups, starting with the second youngest.

The classes are planned in such a way that during the year the same topic is given several times in different versions. Such work makes it possible to train children in depicting the most complex objects, allowing them to develop strong skills and abilities.

One of the goals of teaching visual arts is to develop children's creative abilities. Therefore, we have selected such methods of lesson management that are aimed at developing the child’s activity, independence, and mastering generalized methods of action that allow him to create images of many objects. This is helped by the teacher’s figurative, emotional explanation.

In each age group, the teacher involves children in discussing completed work, taking into account their age characteristics. The discussion must be conducted lively and emotionally. It is important to find figurative, vivid words to characterize the objects and phenomena depicted by children, to emphasize their expressiveness, and not be limited to a simple listing. If the teacher constantly gives imaginative characteristics to children’s work, then the children will gradually learn to evaluate the work. To emphasize the expressiveness of the images, you can use poems, songs, read them to the teacher himself or invite the children to do this.

An important condition for the successful conduct of classes in drawing, modeling, and appliqué is their connection with all aspects of educational work. Therefore, when selecting thematic content, one should take into account what children will observe in the life around them, what events they will experience, what they will be read about, told about, etc.

Starting from the senior group, it is recommended to divide some topics into two classes. This is done so that children can more fully express their impressions of a particular event, phenomenon, and convey a detailed plot. The inability to draw, cut out and paste everything that one would like reduces the child’s mood and interest in the activity. Moreover, lack of time often leads to a formal solution, sometimes even proposed by the teacher, who, knowing that the children will not have time to create a more complete image, limits them (“Draw a house and a Christmas tree near it,” “Draw two trees”). When two classes are devoted to a topic, the child can think through the idea, and express it (in a class on an assignment, the solution may also be different), and create a more perfect and complete image. Of course, only classes of a plot nature can be divided into two, and according to the plan, the gap in classes should not be large, otherwise interest in the topic may fade.

Using the methodological recommendations of this manual allows teachers to develop the visual creativity of preschool children, to form in them the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for the figurative embodiment of objects and phenomena of reality.

By the end of training in the preparatory group, children should have developed aesthetic perception. They must see and understand the beauty of the surrounding life, works of fine and decorative art. Children develop the ability to control their actions, improve the image, evaluate and justify the assessment of their work and the work of other children in accordance with the task of the image. Preschoolers conceive interesting and varied content for their drawings, sculpting and appliqués, complement the image with details, achieving expressive transmission of images of objects and phenomena, using a variety of means of expression.

Children master a variety of form-building movements that allow them to draw, sculpt and cut out various objects, to compose an image in parts and together (in a drawing - a continuous contour line, in sculpting - from a whole piece, in an appliqué - in silhouette).

Children develop a sense of color, the ability to create images and decorative compositions, solving them in different ways in color: multi-colored, in a certain color scheme.

Children learn to create patterns based on folk decorative art, paint sculptures, and create decorative plates.

Organization of visual activities for children in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard for Education

Consultation for educators

Prepared by: MBDOU teacher

kindergarten No. 1 “Alyonushka”

Pyatova E. Yu.

The federal state educational standard was developed on the basis of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the legislation of the Russian Federation, as well as taking into account the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Unlike other standards, the Federal State Educational Standard for Educational Education is not the basis for assessing compliance with the established requirements of educational activities and training of students. The development of educational programs of preschool education is not accompanied by intermediate certifications and final certification of students.

For the first time, preschool education is recognized as an independent level of general education. If FGT imposed requirements on the structure and conditions for the implementation of the main educational program, then the Federal State Educational Standards for Educational Education also impose requirements on the results of mastering the main educational program, and this is a fundamental innovation

Artistic and aesthetic development is the most important aspect of raising a child. It contributes to the enrichment of sensory experience, the emotional sphere of the individual, affects the knowledge of the moral side of reality, and increases cognitive activity. Aesthetic development is the result of aesthetic education. A component of this process is art education - the process of mastering art knowledge, abilities, skills, and developing abilities for artistic creativity.

An important component of artistic and aesthetic development is the formation (development) of children’s artistic taste (visual, auditory), the ability to communicate with art, actively express themselves in creativity, and create their own subject-developing artistic environment.

The leading pedagogical idea of ​​artistic and aesthetic development is the creation of an educational system focused on the development of the individual through familiarization with spiritual values, through involvement in creative activities.

The system of work on artistic and aesthetic development consists of interconnected components:

content updateeducation (choice of programs and technologies);

creating conditions forartistic and aesthetic development (staffing, educational and methodological support, creation of a subject-development environment);

organization of educationalprocess (working with children and parents);

work coordinationwith other institutions and organizations.

“Artistic and aesthetic development presupposes the development of prerequisites for the value-semantic perception and understanding of works of art (verbal, musical, visual), the natural world; the formation of an aesthetic attitude towards the surrounding world; formation of elementary ideas about types of art; perception of music, fiction, folklore; stimulating empathy for characters in works of art; implementation of independent creative activities of children (visual, constructive-model, musical, etc.).”

See paragraph 2.6. Federal State Educational Standard DO.

Main goals and objectives

Formation of interest in the aesthetic side of the surrounding reality, aesthetic attitude towards objects and phenomena of the surrounding world, works of art; nurturing interest in artistic and creative activities.

Development of children's aesthetic feelings, artistic perception, figurative ideas, imagination, artistic and creative abilities.

Development of children's artistic creativity, interest in independent creative activities (visual, constructive-model, musical, etc.); satisfying children's need for self-expression.

Organization of a subject-spatial environment in a kindergarten group for the development of children’s visual activities

The subject-development environment is a complex of material, aesthetic, psychological and pedagogical conditions that ensure the organization of children’s lives in a preschool institution - it should serve the interests and needs of the child, and its equipment, materials, didactic material and others should serve his development. The environment must meet sanitary and hygienic safety requirements developed for a modern preschool educational institution. And this creates an environment that is psychologically comfortable and favorable for the life of children.

The corner of fine arts can be considered as a kind of artistic and creative complex. The creation of a subject-based environment for a preschool educational institution involves the organization of an artistic and creative complex of a corner of visual activities, which includes the interaction of the arts and various types of artistic activities that activate the independent activity of preschoolers.

The purpose of the fine arts corner is to develop children’s creative potential, develop interest in artistic activities, develop aesthetic perception, imagination, artistic and creative abilities, independence, and activity.

The organization of a subject-development environment for the development of visual activities in accordance with the federal educational standard for preschool education meets the following requirements.

Saturation

The developmental environment for organizing visual arts has a variety of materials, equipment and supplies. It ensures the creative activity of all pupils, their emotional well-being, aesthetic development and the opportunity for self-expression.

Transformability of space

It assumes the possibility of changes in the subject-spatial environment depending on the educational situation. All elements of the visual arts complex can be transformed in a variety of ways. At the request of the children, the group can be transformed into an “exhibition hall”, “gallery”, “workshop”, etc.

Polyfunctionality of materials

Possibility of varied use of various components of the subject environment. For example, a screen has been converted into an exhibition stand for displaying creative works. The presence in the group of multifunctional (not having a strictly fixed method of use) objects (natural, waste material)

Environmental Variability

Availability of various spaces for the implementation of visual activities. Periodic rotation, renewal of the subject-developmental environment, its aesthetic and intellectual saturation, taking into account the specifics of the child’s perception, allows us to solve the problems of developing children’s creative activity.

Environment Availability

The environment should be organized so that the materials and equipment necessary for children to carry out any activity are either in the child’s field of view or accessible so that he can take them without seeking help from an adult, including children with disabilities. At the same time, it is very important to teach children to put all materials in their place: firstly, because order in everything provides comfort and beauty, pleases the eye, creates a good mood, and secondly, because other children may need them for activities or the same child. Consumables must be aesthetic, intact, and clean. Exhibition areas must be accessible to children.

Safety

The equipment must correspond to the age characteristics of children (taking into account the requirements of anthropometry, psycho-physiology of perception of color, shape, size). It is necessary to ensure that sharp and cutting objects (pencils, scissors) are stored in specially designated cases, boxes, and cabinets. When organizing a corner for visual arts, the height of the tables and chairs should correspond to the height of the children and they should be placed so that when working behind them there is left-side lighting or, in extreme cases, the light falls from the front. Working surfaces of tables should have a light-colored matte finish. Materials used for lining tables and chairs must have low thermal conductivity and be resistant to warm water. The size of the wall board is 0.75-1.5 meters, the height of the lower edge of the wall board above the floor is 0.7-0.8 meters.

General purpose equipment

Chalk board.

Sponge.

Sets of colored and white chalk.

The easel is single-sided or double-sided.

Typesetting canvas 60*50 or 80*50.

Flannelograph, magnetic board

A stand for viewing children's drawing works and demonstrating illustrative material.

Stand for placing modeling work.

Counting ladder for examining modeling work.

Pointer.

Roller for applying paint to paper.

Desktop pencil sharpener.

A tank with a tight-fitting lid for storing clay.

Apron for teacher

Aprons and sleeves for children.

Pedagogical requirements for the subject-developmental environment for organizing a corner of fine arts

A uniform design style makes it attractive to children;

The presence of appropriate decorative elements;

Ensuring the emotional well-being of the child and adult;

Taking into account the age and gender characteristics of children, both in the content of the materials and in the organization of space.

Quantitative composition of items and materials (the presence and number of relevant items is compared with the standard);

Availability of a variety of artistic materials, their replacement, addition, quality, appearance;

Pedagogical expediency (compliance with the purpose and objectives of aesthetic education);

Availability of material for children, convenient location.

Junior preschool age

All materials for free independent productive activity should be available to children. Children of this age react poorly to spatial changes in the environment and prefer stability, so all materials and aids must have a permanent place.Materials and aids for visual arts are placed on the tables available in the group every day, after the evening meal. All materials, manuals, equipment and unfinished children's work are kept in working order until breakfast the next day.

For children of primary and secondary preschool age, material and equipment in the visual arts corner can be placed on open shelves.

Children in the younger group should be given pencils of six colors (red, blue, green, yellow, black and brown) for drawing. For drawing, use two types of water paints - gouache and watercolor. For preschool children, the most convenient paints are opaque, impasto, opaque - gouache. The paint must be diluted to the thickness of liquid sour cream, so that it sticks to the brush and does not drip from it. It is best to pour the paint into clear, low-rimmed containers so children can see the color. It is convenient to use gouache paints in plastic jars with closed lids: teachers prepare the paint in them and leave them after classes without pouring them anywhere. At the same time, the paint is consumed more economically and its preparation requires less time. In the younger group, they are given 2-3 colors at first, and by the end of the year 4-6 colors. It is recommended to give brushes No. 12-14 to children of the younger group. Such a brush, pressed to the paper, leaves a bright, clearly visible mark, making it easier to convey the shape of an object. For drawing you need fairly thick, slightly rough paper (preferably half-paper). You can replace it with thick writing paper. Glossy paper, on the surface of which the pencil glides almost without leaving a mark, and thin paper that tears under strong pressure, are not suitable for drawing. While working, the paper should lie motionless and level (the exception is decorative drawing, during which children can change the position of the sheet). It is recommended that children of the younger group be given paper the size of a writing sheet for drawing - it corresponds to the span of a child’s hand. The desire for independent activity is formed in primary preschool age in collaboration with adults, in joint activities with them. Taking this into account, the space is organized so that two or three children and an adult can act simultaneously. Children have the right to dispose of their drawings and crafts themselves - take them home, use them in games, or place them in an exhibition.

Authentic works of folk, decorative and applied art

For children of primary preschool age - 2 - 3 types of folk toys with which children could act (Bogorodsk toy, Semyonovsky and other nesting dolls, Gorodets carved toy (horses), etc.).

For children of middle and senior preschool age, 3–4 types of works of folk art are selected, in the process of perceiving which children could feel the plasticity of form, the connection between the purpose of an object and its decoration, and get acquainted with various elements of pattern, color, and composition. For this purpose, the following can be used: Dymkovo clay toy, works of Khokhloma and Gorodets masters, etc. At the same time, it is desirable that children are first introduced to the work of those folk artists who live in a given region, city, or village. Practical assistance in introducing children to folk art will be provided to teachers by A.A.’s educational and visual aid. Gribovskaya "For children about folk art." (M.: Education, 2001).

Reproductions from works of painting, book graphics

For this purpose, teachers can use any highly artistic works of book graphics and reproductions, the content of which is recommended by the program, is understandable to children and evokes an emotional response in them.
