Partial program nature and the artist Koptseva. Lesson “Fairytale vase for your beloved mother”

Author T.A. Koptseva
The goal of the program: to develop in children preschool age holistic ideas about nature as a living organism.
The program combines the formation in children 4-6 years of age of ideas about nature as a living organism and the development of their creative activity. By means visual arts the author proposes to solve problems of environmental and aesthetic education children, to introduce them to the world artistic culture, through the system creative tasks develop in preschoolers an emotional and value-based attitude to the world, as well as their own creative skills and abilities.

At each fine arts lesson the following tasks are solved:

  • to convey and accumulate experience of an aesthetic (emotional-value) attitude towards the world, to form a child’s ecological culture, to educate a spiritually rich personality;
  • transfer and increase the experience of creative activity, form a “culture creative personality"(personal self-realization);
  • teach methods of activity, develop children’s skills in fine, decorative and constructive types of creativity, teach the “language of fine arts”;
  • to introduce to world artistic culture.
  • For fine arts classes with preschoolers, all four tasks are relevant. However, the priority role in the system of artistic creative development personality has the first - the transfer and accumulation of experience of an aesthetic (emotional-value) attitude towards the world. Carrying out this educational task, the teacher develops and forms in children:
  • the ability to spiritualize (humanize) “living” and “non-living” nature;
  • the ability to identify oneself with objects and natural phenomena, another person or the hero of a work of art;
  • readiness to feel the pain and joy of living beings, to empathize with them, to express one’s caring attitude towards rare and endangered (listed in the Red Book) species of plants and animals;
  • the desire to take care of those who depend on humans, to prevent violence against nature, to ennoble it to the best of our ability;
  • the ability to admire the beauty and diversity of natural forms, to notice the significant in the inconspicuous, to admire the corners of native and exotic nature;
  • ability to sense character and variability natural phenomena, express your attitude towards them in mood landscapes (morning, afternoon, evening, night, autumn, winter, spring, summer);
  • readiness to emotionally experience the figurative form of works of fine art, etc.

Structural and content characteristics

The “Nature and the Artist” program is designed for four years (second junior, middle, senior and pre-school groups). The system of artistic and creative tasks has a concentric construction principle. Each new level absorbs the main content of the previous ones, revealing it at a new level of complexity.

  1. 1. Second junior group"The Artist, Nature and Me."
  2. 2. Middle group"The artist and the nature of his native land."
  3. 3. Senior group"The artist and the nature of our country."
  4. 4. Preparatory group for school “The Artist and Nature of the Five Continents.”

A structural feature of the program is block-thematic planning of lesson content. The main sections of the program are grouped around a single theme. The content of each stage is based on four thematic blocks: “Natural World”, “Animal World”, “Human World”, “Art World”. Topics within each block can be rearranged; the teacher himself determines the order of their consideration.

Organization of the processes of contemplation, creation and communication - three types of pedagogical creativity in a fine arts lesson. The system of artistic and creative tasks is designed for one lesson per week. The basis of each lesson in the program is contemplation native nature, admiring objects real world, perception and comparison of many things different forms their artistic embodiment. The teacher activates the process of perception and contemplation, based on the comparison and comparison of images captured by artists in works of art with real ones natural pictures. The surprise that arises in a child in the process of looking at things familiar to him stimulates the activity of perception.

Program "Nature and the Artist" provides classes on outdoors, when admiring nature is associated in the minds of children with what they learned in class, and the impressions received during a walk are directly reflected in children's creativity.

With different children age groups It is proposed to conduct classes in a living corner, and for a group preparatory to school, organize a trip to the zoo, take an excursion to Botanical Garden or visit the museum, look at original works art, household objects, fossils, show a slide film consisting of expressive frames.

Natural world according to the program "Nature and the Artist" acts as an object of close observation and a means of emotional-figurative influence on creative activity pupils. The proposed system of artistic and creative tasks guides pedagogical work to form in children holistic ideas about nature as a living organism, which is the essence of environmental and artistic education.

Content basis of the program "Nature and the Artist" environmentally friendly in nature. The main semantic setting of this program is that the ecology of nature and the ecology of culture are facets of one problem: the preservation of humanity in man. A child artist, observing nature, expresses in his creativity his vision of the phenomena occurring in it. The teacher helps the child “open his eyes” to the world he sees, implementing the main methodological principle of the program - the spiritualization of natural phenomena.

Features of organizing the work of pre-school specialists

The teacher creates a situation in class figurative comparisons, in which the child’s creative potential, his powers of observation, fantasy and imagination are revealed to the maximum. The teacher is the main organizer of artistic organized lesson. Therefore, everything in a teacher’s behavior is important; he is a tuning fork of goodwill, sensitive to the course of the educational process.

Zebzeeva V.A. Development of elementary natural scientific concepts and ecological culture children: Program overview preschool education. - M.: Sfera, 2009.

Tatiana KOPTSEVA's program is not just a fine arts program. This is a system of artistic education.
And this system was created not just by a smart scientist and a talented teacher. It was created by the Artist. A person who knows from personal experience what it means to create a work of art.
Educators in their work - even advanced ones - often base drawing or modeling classes on teaching technical technique. We need a result, and we achieve it by teaching the child to move a brush over paper in one way or another. And to amuse the children, we introduce them to “unconventional” methods of drawing.
No one denies the importance of techniques. Nobody interferes with painting with a sponge or fingers. But this is just experimentation, not directly related to art.
The basis of art is the expression of a person's inner life. What distinguishes an artist from an ordinary person is the Eye, his in a special way tuned "optics".
And one of most important tasks artistic education - to teach a child to express his feelings, his vision of the world, his mood by means available to him.
If we take this task seriously, Tatyana Koptseva’s program will turn out to be an invaluable guideline for us in our work, a source of various creative ideas. Well, and techniques - both pedagogical and actually artistic.

Lesson “Stairway to Heaven. Rainbow"

Show reproductions of landscapes depicting a rainbow, analyze the visual aid “Primary and Complementary Colors.” Read riddle poems about the rainbow to the children (A. Alimbayev, translated from Kazakh by I. Maznin “Motley, like a peacock’s tail, / A bridge stood over our river. / Good for everyone, / Handsome, / Tall / And not far from home. / It’s a pity one thing - / It’s / impossible / to walk along it,” or N. Krasilnikov “Because of the cloudy heights / Looking at the valley, / A seven-colored cat came out, / Gently arched its back”). When depicting a rainbow, remind children of the techniques for mixing colors. Remember the famous rhyme “Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant sits,” the first letters of which determine the order of colors in the rainbow: “k” - red, “o” - orange, “z” - yellow, “z” - green, “g” " - blue, "s" - blue, "f" - purple. This task is best completed watercolor paints using the raw technique. It is important that each child not stereotypically, but in his own way, depicts a rainbow-arc (the rocker peeks out from around the corner of the sheet, or only half of the arc is visible, or the rainbow-bridge is located on the entire sheet, etc.).

It is possible to make a rainbow with three gouache paints - red, blue, yellow, then there will be only six colors in the rainbow, and blue is the color of the heavens surrounding the rainbow.

Exercise. Image of a rainbow-arc (“Flowers admire the rainbow”; “Tree admires the rainbow”, etc.).

Materials. Paper, gouache (red, blue, yellow), brushes (you can use the drawings from Lesson 2 as a background).

It is possible to depict a composition with a rainbow using any artistic material.

Lesson “Bouquet of flowers. Still life in warm or cold colors"

Consider with your children reproductions of works by artists: I. Grabar “Chrysanthemums”, V. Van Gogh “Sunflowers”, A. Golovin “Phloxes”, A. Deineka “Gladioli with Rowan”, M. Saryan “Flowers”, etc. Please note the fact that limiting the color palette, for example using only warm shades or only cold shades (color), helps the artist to express his state of mind(state of peace - whitened, gentle colors; state of joy - contrasting colors: light and dark, warm and cold, etc.).

Coloring system color combinations in works of fine art, one of the most important means of emotional expressiveness can be warm (mainly orange, yellow and red tones) and cold (mainly blue, green, violet tones), calm and tense, bright and faded, based on local (decorative) colors and the use of tonal relationships, etc.

Pay attention to how each artist conveys his attitude towards flowers in his own way, depicting a still life in his own manner. Ask the children to guess the creative style of a particular artist by looking at his painting. For example, after demonstrating the above still lifes again, show Van Gogh’s “Irises”, but do not name the author. Ask the children to identify which artist painted this still life.

Remind children of the techniques for working with gouache paints using the mosaic painting method. Analyze the visual aids “Pictorial Texture” and “Warm and Cool Colors.”

Ask the children to define still life, summarizing what has been said, give your definition of this word (still life is a genre of fine art dedicated to the image inanimate objects: utensils, fruits, bouquets of flowers, attributes of any activity, etc.). Ask the guys to come up with a name for their future still life. Focus their attention on choosing a warm or cold range of colors depending on the design, on the possibility of doing the work with two colors (for example, blue and white; green and gray; brown and white, etc.) or three (red, yellow and white; blue, yellow and gray, etc.).

After the children draw flowers, analyze with them whether their original title drawing (plan) to the final result. When analyzing the drawings of preschoolers, give them figurative names (“Joyful flowers”, “ Delicate tulips", "Proud gladioli", "Cheerful flowers", "Colorful bouquet", etc.).

Exercise. An image of a bouquet of flowers in gouache in warm or cold shades from life or about nature, or from a representation with pronounced emotionality.

Materials. Colored paper, gouache (in addition to primary colors, it is important that the child has gray paint in his arsenal; the teacher must prepare it in advance).

Note. You can make a bouquet of flowers in one lesson warm colors, and on the other - in the cold.

Lesson “Bouquet of Flowers”

The lesson can be organized as a trip to Far East to the Land of the Rising Sun - Japan. In autumn, the Japanese celebrate the Chrysanthemum Festival. The chrysanthemum symbolizes joy among the Japanese. Therefore, receiving a bouquet of flowers as a gift means receiving a wish for a good mood.

The ancient Japanese art of arranging flowers in vases is called ikebana (“flower life”). In an ikebana composition, as a rule, there are three obligatory elements, denoting three principles: Heaven, Earth and Man. They can be embodied as a flower, a branch and grass. According to tradition, ikebana necessarily reproduces the season, and the combination of plants forms well-known symbolic wishes in Japan: pine and rose - longevity; peony and bamboo - prosperity of the world; chrysanthemum and orchid - joy; magnolia - spiritual purity, etc. When carefully examining fresh flowers or their reproductions with children, pay attention to the design of the flower head, how the petals radiate from its center, like rays of sunlight. Read poems about flowers (for example, V. Rozhdestvensky “Astra”, E. Serov “Daisies”, etc.). Show how to use scissors to cut out smooth contours of petals (aster, chamomile) and jagged ones (carnation, cornflower) using the snowflake method. Demonstrate the method of obtaining a symmetrical image using the example of cutting out a vase: fold the sheet in half, draw the outline of a vase on it with a simple pencil, and then cut it out along the outline.

Analyze the visual aid “Warm and Cool Colors” with your children.

Zaitseva Sasha, 6 years old, Moscow, preschool educational institution No. 1439, “The hare cabbage has blossomed”, pastel, ped. Agafonova N.A.

Exercise. Making flowers of different shapes (folding a sheet and cutting out petals using the snowflake method). It is possible to arrange flowers into a collective composition “Flowers in a vase, in a basket”, “Garland of flowers”, etc. By analogy with Japanese art arrangement of flowers - ikebana - color selection corresponds to a particular time of year (bouquets of flowers called “Warm Autumn”, “Circus”, “Holiday”, etc. are performed in warm colors, bouquet “Morning”, “Snow Queen”, etc. - in the cold.

Materials. Colored paper, scissors, glue.

Note. It is possible to perform this work in mixed media: wax crayons + watercolor, then the drawing on the theme “Bouquet of Flowers” ​​is done from life (about life) individually.

Lesson “Exotic plants. Cactus, aloe"

Bring several types of cacti to class or look at their reproductions with your children. Pay attention to the shape of this plant, the location of the thorns, how the American guest is placed in the pot (fat - like a king; thin and long - like a soldier; with many shoots - like a mother with children, etc.).

How should gloves be decorated so that the viewer guesses that this is an image of Spring, Winter, Summer or Autumn?
Invite the children to trace their palm with a felt-tip pen or pencil (this creates a stencil for a glove). Review sets of felt-tip pens or colored pencils with your children (a set of at least 12 colors). Ask the children to put the markers (pencils) that have warm shades colors, in the other - cold. Ask the children: “What colors would you use for autumn patterns, for winter ones?”

Lesson “Dishes and seasons”

Content. When carefully examining with your children the dishes made by folk craftsmen (Khokhloma, Gzhel, Zhostovo, etc.), pay attention to the means of artistic expression, to the color design of things, to the fact that warm colors dominate in Khokhloma painting, and cold colors dominate in Gzhel painting . Zhostovo trays, Gzhel and Khokhloma patterns are based on bouquets of flowers. Ask the children, “What season would they correspond to?”
Often masters name their works in accordance with one time or another of the year (“Golden Autumn”, “Spring Day”, “Summer Flowers”, “Winter Bouquet”, etc.). Ask the children how, looking at the color appearance of the dishes, the viewer can guess the name of the tray, vase, bowl, etc.?
Show how to work in mixed media: wax crayon + watercolor. Draw children's attention to the fact that the drawing of flowers, leaves, berries, etc. must be done with wax crayons with pressure. In order to achieve a contrast between dark and light, it is important to cover the light pattern with dark colors, and the dark one with light colors.
The children themselves depict one or another shape of the tray (vase, plate, etc.) that they will decorate (it doesn’t matter that the drawings of these objects will not be entirely even).

Exercise. Decoration of a tray (vase, plate, teapot, etc.) or service with a predominance of warm or cold shades (Vase “Autumn”, tray “Spring Flowers”, plate “Summer Bouquet”, tea set “ Winter patterns" and so on.). It is important that children come up with names for their decorative works themselves.
For this task, children can cut out dishes from paper themselves: fold the sheet in half, draw an outline with a pencil, for example, half of a vase, cut it out, the result is a symmetrical image; spout and handle for a teapot, coffee pot, etc. glued to the resulting workpiece.

Materials. Paper, wax crayons, watercolor or gouache.

Lesson "Mom's holiday"

Deineka, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, ancient Russian icons “The Mother of God with the Child Christ”, etc.), pay attention to the means by which the artists convey the feeling of mother’s love for the child ( a tilt of the head, a gentle touch of hands, a gentle look, light coloring, sadness in the eyes of the Mother of God - concern for the fate of her son
and so on.).
Remind the children of ways to depict a face.

Exercise. Image of a portrait of a mother (“Mom and Spring”, “Mom with a bouquet of spring flowers”, “Mom and sunny mood") or a pair portrait (“Me and mom, we love each other”), perhaps “Portrait of a family” (“We are a friendly family”). It is important that the children in the drawing are able to convey feelings of love and tenderness (heads tilted towards each other, the hand lies on the shoulder, the hand hugs the neck, the mother looks at the baby, the baby looks at the mother, the baby holds out (gives) flowers to the mother, etc. ).

Materials. Paper, sanguine; coal or other materials.

Lesson “First flowers”

Content. It is better to do the lesson outside. Watch with your children the first spring flowers and the swelling buds of trees.
After examining the willow branches and admiring the coltsfoot flowers, ask the children to sketch them from life. Do some sketches with your children. Analyze children's plein air sketches.
The lesson can be done in a group, looking at both fresh flowers and their dummies or reproductions.

Exercise. Drawing from life (about nature) flowers, herbs, tree branches
and so on.

Materials. A notepad or sheets of paper with tablets (plastic or plywood), colored crayons, pastel, charcoal, sanguine or pencil.

Lesson “Wonderful Planet”

Content. Ask the children to imagine a planet where there are no seasons and where there is, for example, eternal summer, winter, spring or autumn.
Ask them what they would call this planet (for example, Orange, Blue, Ice, Gold, Flower, etc.). What would aliens look like when they flew to Earth from one planet or another, what would their spaceship look like? Show reproductions of different spaceships and orbital stations, analyze their design. Consider the space landscapes of science fiction artists (for example, the cosmonaut artist A. Leonov), pay attention to the expressiveness and unusualness of the landscape (this activity can be dedicated to Cosmonautics Day).
Remind children of methods for mixing gouache paints. On the Orange planet (the planet of eternal golden autumn), warm colors dominate (mixing yellow and red colors will give different shades orange), on the Violet planet (the planet of eternal rain and bad weather) cold colors dominate (mixing white with blue and red colors will give different shades of purple), on the Green planet (the planet of eternal spring or summer) green colors dominate (mixing blue with yellow and black with yellow paints will give various shades green) etc.

Exercise. An image of a fantastic landscape of a planet where it is always the same time of year. Perhaps an image of a fantastic spaceship or aliens from the planet of eternal spring, summer, autumn or winter.

Materials. Paper, gouache red, yellow, blue, white, black or other materials.

Note. It is advisable to conduct three lessons on the topic “Additional (composite) colors (orange, green, purple).” These activities can be called as follows: “Flight to the Orange Planet - the planet of eternal autumn”, “Flight to the planet of eternal cold - the planet of winter”, “Flight to the Green planet - the planet of spring”, etc.
