Extracurricular activity program in fine arts “Palette” for students in grades 1–4
EXPLANATORY NOTE
The “Palette” program was developed for classes in the afternoon in accordance with the new requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard for primary general education of the second generation. In the process of developing the program, the main guideline was the goal of forming a harmonious, comprehensively developed personality, distinguished by uniqueness and originality with the help of the artistic and aesthetic direction of extracurricular activities in education. This direction, along with other types of art, prepares students to understand artistic images and introduces them to various means of expression. Based on aesthetic knowledge and artistic experience, students develop an attitude towards their own artistic activity, since creativity is one of the significant qualities of a person. Creative inspiration is a human need in which a person finds happiness. Experiencing spiritual satisfaction from what he creates, a person truly feels that he is living. Creativity gives birth to a living fantasy and a vivid imagination in a child. Creativity, by its nature, is based on the desire to do something that has never been done before, or, although something that existed before you, to do it in a new way, in your own way, better. In other words, creativity in a child is always a striving forward, for the better, for progress, for perfection and, of course, for beauty. This is the kind of creativity that is nurtured in a child. Without creative imagination, which we are trying to develop in a child, we cannot move forward in any area of human activity. This determines the relevance of this program. The new living conditions in which modern students are placed require them to be thoughtful, proactive, independent, and develop their own new original solutions; be focused on better end results.
The realization of these requirements requires a person with creative abilities. Characterizing the relevance of the topic, we see that the problem of creativity is of particular importance; abilities of children, the development of which acts as a kind of guarantee of the socialization of the child’s personality in society.
Primary school age is the beginning of a conscious perception of the world, when the criteria for aesthetic and spiritual beauty are laid down. Young schoolchildren become familiar with many types of creativity during art lessons, and in extracurricular activities they supplement their knowledge with new technologies and use non-traditional methods of depiction.
A child with creative abilities is active and inquisitive. He is able to see the unusual, the beautiful where others do not see it; he is able to make his own independent decisions, independent of anyone, he has his own view of beauty, and he is able to create something new, original. This requires special qualities of the mind, such as observation, the ability to compare and analyze, combine and model, find connections and patterns, etc. - all of which together constitute creative abilities. Artistic creativity helps change a child’s attitude to the process of cognition, develops a breadth of interests and curiosity, which “are the basic guidelines of federal educational standards.”
By creating their works, students acquire certain aesthetic tastes. Drawings created by children delight everyone around them. The result of these exciting activities is not only concrete - drawings, but also invisible to the eye - the development of subtle observation, spatial imagination, and non-standard thinking.
In extracurricular activities, much more than in the classroom, conditions are created for the development of individual inclinations, interests, and inclinations of students, and extracurricular work itself, designed to take into account the personal needs of the student, strives to satisfy them and requires a differentiated and individual approach to learning.
