Explanatory letter

The main feature of the program is that I highlight five types of decorative and applied arts. Several classes are devoted to each type of decorative and applied art.

I spend the first lessons introducing the children to the product. Then I conduct 6-7 classes in drawing and sculpting. At each lesson I clearly define tasks and compositions; leaf shape and pattern location. When children master the principles of compositional arrangement and methods of composing a pattern, I begin to teach them how to depict birds and then include these elements in a composition with flowers.

The main teaching method is to look at patterns on objects, highlighting elements, their colors, and positions. I think it is better to use hand tracing the elements and determine their place in the pattern. When teaching children decorative drawing, I widely use game techniques that increase the emotional mood of children during the lesson. In the pre-school group, children make patterns based on folk art on paper of various shapes (square, circle, rectangle, polygon, oval, etc.), and paint their clay works.

I included a Buryat ornament in my program. Since we live in the Republic of Buryatia, we must familiarize children with decorative items of folk life, national costume and patterns.

The leading tasks in this case are to enrich children’s knowledge about folk decorative art, to lead children to understand the role of art in human life. Formation of the ability to expose the originality of national decorative art and its characteristic features.

I further expand knowledge about folk applied art in the art studio classes, which contributes to children’s deep understanding and comprehension of this topic. I believe that to implement this program it is necessary to take into account the following areas:

1. Dymkovo toy and painting 9 hours

2. Gorodets painting 9 hours

3. Khokhloma painting 11 o’clock

4. Zhostovo painting 11 o’clock

5. Buryat ornament 12 hours

Where to begin

Then the question arises: “Where to start?” Before my eyes is the ballet “Swan Lake”. I remember from school some difficult-to-understand works by famous composers. Those moments when a music teacher plays a piece during a lesson and asks about the intended plot of the music. But we were not interested at all and became bored.

How can a child be interested in all this, if some parents themselves are plunged into depression? In fact, we shouldn't base our school memories on music lessons. Not everything was available there at that time and music teachers mostly stuck to the program. Although, of course, there were exceptions. Therefore, let's start studying the classics together first. On the other side.

The peculiarity of introducing a child to works of art is that it should be unobtrusive. There is no need to sit your child down at the table and talk to him about the lives of great masters. Everything should be relaxed, easy and with a little understatement. Try to interest the baby so that he wants to know more and more. The main thing is to let the explanations be age appropriate. It’s better to start explaining only when the baby asks himself. When something interests him. In the meantime, you can start like this.

I can recommend a good book by Elena Danilova “My first book about art” . The book is intended for children from one to 5-6 years old. She will introduce kids to world fine arts. With this book you can inspire your child to love beauty.

Painting

How to introduce a child to masterpieces of painting? It's good if you live in Moscow or St. Petersburg. The Tretyakov Gallery and the Hermitage can impress a child. And it’s easier for you to tell and show famous paintings here. However, in museums and galleries in other cities there are not such a large number of paintings. And, of course, after visiting the main museums of the city with your little one, you will want to continue.

Now we, modern parents, have a wonderful assistant in finding information - the Internet. And here we will find a lot of wonderful works. You can choose some, especially those authors recommended by child psychologists to start getting acquainted with the paintings. That is, they should be light, cheerful, maybe with children or animals. Review together.

For example, such artists as Shishkin, Vasnetsov, Nesterov. Then you can begin to complicate it, showing more complex works where you need to reflect and think. Even Leonardo da Vinci. All the generations that existed before us and we also struggled with the answers to the riddles hidden in the paintings of the great artist. Just for fun, ask your child what he thinks about the Mona Lisa. You can also show paintings with a plot, a specific scene.

And here is the main point! Be sure to watch your baby's reaction very carefully. You can’t continue to get acquainted with art against the will of the baby, insist, while getting angry. Everything has its time. And so it is with kids. He may want to look at the painting right away and ask about it. Or he may be ready to watch it only in a few months. Don't rush him. Everything will come in due time.

The second point is to observe if the baby becomes agitated while looking at the picture or is frightened by some plot. Ask him if he may not want to consider it further. So it's not time yet. Save it for later. Continue to other works. And remember that the child is looking at you, at your reaction, at your emotions. If you took your little one to an exhibition of paintings for the sake of formality, you yourself stand and yawn. And then don’t expect the baby to be interested. Go together when you're both ready. You need to tune in.

Architecture and sculpture

Take a walk around your city with your baby. Surely, you will come across several ancient buildings with columns and sculptures. Tell your child what building this is. Who lived here before? Why were houses like this built before? Together you can count the floors, steps, and look at the beautiful ornaments of the windows. Come up with a story together about this house, what kind of children lived here. Inspire your child to learn more.

Also, if the museum in your city has sculptures on display, you should also go there with your baby. And, of course, in other cases, photographs and pictures from the Internet will help you get acquainted. Print out the most famous and interesting ones. Consider it with your baby. Invite him to play in the art gallery. You can choose several places in your apartment where you can hang pictures chosen by your child. Then after a while they can be swapped or replaced with others.

Wait - a miracle is ahead. For a certain time, photos and pictures with masterpieces of art will move around your house. You unobtrusively name the author of the work every time you come together to look at certain photos. There is no need to ask your child to remember or even pay attention. Just say the artist's name and continue playing or talking with the baby.

It won't be long before your baby will amaze you and those around you too. He will see this or that painting or sculpture on TV, in a magazine, on a poster and will immediately say the author. This will definitely happen. Don't even doubt it. If you follow the above recommendations.

Music

Music makes an equally vivid impression on children. The choice of music for the baby is up to you. Therefore, be extremely careful and careful. It shouldn't be loud or harsh. When getting to know different styles of music, start with the classics. There are many works that were originally intended for children to listen to.

When to start getting acquainted with art in music is up to you to decide. There are no age restrictions here. The baby is still in his mother’s tummy, or has just started “cooing”, or is already consciously talking about various topics. Absolutely any time. Find the right moment and quietly play calm works by great composers. For example, such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Joseph Hayden, Georges Bizet, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Nikolai Andreevich Rimsky-Korsakov. These masters have many wonderful compositions specifically for children. Let it be one piece at first. If everything is fine and the baby is not capricious, turn on the second, third.

It’s even good if in the future this music will sound unobtrusively in the background. Rest assured that it has already remained in the baby’s memory. Some children can even hum a melody they hear. And the more often you include the works you like, the faster the child will recognize it. The main rule here is also: watch the child’s reaction. Turn it off immediately if your baby shows dissatisfaction or fear. Let this acquaintance take place a little later. I repeat: everything has its time.

It is also worth noting the following: for the little ones it is advisable to include Russian folk music. Children, just starting to walk, already begin to dance to dance tunes. And our folk music is just in this spirit. We can recommend the set of 3D collections “Folk songs for children” . The author of this project is Oleg Lykov. Here you can find song and game material with original arrangements.
