Brief summary of the project

The formation of a person’s personality can be effective only if in this process the creative capabilities of a person in various types of activities are updated. The development of the creative potential of an individual should be carried out from early childhood, when a child, under the guidance of an adult, begins to master various types of activities, including artistic ones. Today there is a choice of options for artistic and aesthetic preschool education, and it is determined by the presence of variable, additional, alternative, original program and methodological materials. But the problem of studying and developing children's artistic creative activity (giftedness) using non-traditional techniques of fine art was not posed and was not solved in the theory and practice of our particular preschool institution. That’s why I developed this project, “The Colorful World of Creativity,” to use non-traditional visual technologies when working with preschool children. The main principle of work is the pedagogy of non-violence. The implementation of the project will allow my children to show greater independence, initiative, and imagination; increase the level of emotional well-being of pupils; children will learn to combine unconventional visual technologies to create an unfinished image; will be able to give a motivated assessment of the results of their activities.

Relevance of the project topic

In the history of preschool pedagogy, the problem of creativity has always been one of the most pressing. At all times, creative individuals were needed, because... they determine the progress of humanity. In the process of creativity, the child develops intellectually and emotionally, determines his attitude to life and his place in it. The development of abilities and creativity is a specific feature of a person, which makes it possible not only to use reality, but also to modify it. One of the ways to develop children's creativity is to use non-traditional drawing techniques. Drawing with unusual materials and original techniques allows children to experience unforgettable positive emotions. Children learn something new and unique for themselves; something is created that did not exist before. Children discover the possibility of using objects they know well as art materials and surprise them with their unpredictability. The introduction of non-traditional techniques develops children's creativity and instills a love of fine arts. The implementation of the “Colorful World of Creativity” project will make it possible to involve various types of children's activities using non-traditional visual technologies. Each technology has its own harmony of color and line; each can serve as both a way to create a separate work and an original part of a masterpiece. Not all children are given the ability to wield a brush or pencil, scissors or plasticine; some find it difficult to express themselves in line; others do not understand and do not accept the variety of colors. Let everyone choose a technology that is close to them in spirit and does not make them suffer when comparing their work with the work of more capable children. Children should be offered rather than imposed; children should be helped rather than forced. And to help a child find himself, it is necessary to offer him as many different ways of self-expression as possible. After all, any non-traditional visual technology gives the child the opportunity to choose, think, search, try, etc. I saw the relevance of the project in the fact that it is visual productive activity using non-traditional visual technologies that is most favorable for the creative development of children’s abilities, because It especially reveals different aspects of the child’s development.

Project implementation model

Evaluation of project implementation results:

To identify the effectiveness of the project, we will use a map for assessing the individual development of the child of the educational program implemented in the preschool educational institution, slightly modifying it. Pedagogical diagnostics of children's individual development will be carried out at the beginning and at the end of the project. The diagnostic process will use systematic observation of children’s behavior in various types of activities (games, communication with adults and peers, individual conversations using children’s literature, subject and plot pictures, preservation and analysis of children’s creative products, gaming techniques. This will give us the opportunity to obtain reliable data on the accumulated experience of children and draw a conclusion about the success of the work carried out in the development of children. Thus, pedagogical assessment will help build the entire pedagogical process most effectively from the point of view of the development of each child and the entire group of children as a whole. It will also provide the opportunity to creatively approach training and education of preschoolers, new views will appear on the organization of daily activities of teachers with children.

Non-traditional visual techniques help relieve stress and improve the emotional state of children by maintaining a stable interest in a variety of activities, while developing creative abilities, helping to increase self-esteem, and activating the cognitive activity of students. This project makes it possible to make the process of introducing children to the world of art more vibrant, exciting, and meaningful. For teachers, the project is an incentive to increase creativity and the desire for self-development, and for parents, the project provides an opportunity to express themselves together with their children in various competitions and exhibitions. As a result of the participation of children and parents in family creative competitions, the family unites, and the child is almost constantly in the zone of proximal development: what he did today with the help of an adult, he will do the day after tomorrow himself. Thus receiving a powerful impetus for development.

Further development of the project and transfer of experience:

It is planned to expand the list of non-traditional visual technologies used; placement of a table for sand painting in a subject-development environment. The accumulated experience will be disseminated among teachers of preschool educational institutions in the region and on the kindergarten website and Internet sites.

Visual activities in kindergarten

Visual activities in kindergarten include, directly, classes in drawing, modeling, and appliqué. Visual activities are largely aimed at the artistic and aesthetic development of the child’s personality.

Namely: the formation of an aesthetic attitude towards the surrounding world; formation of elementary ideas about types of art; implementation of independent creative activities of children. But classes in fine art activities in kindergarten are not limited to the educational field alone. Almost every such activity includes social and communicative development.

Visual activities in kindergarten include traditional techniques (drawing, modeling, appliqué, design) and mixed techniques (include non-traditional, original and innovative drawing, appliqué).

Drawing is the art of depicting on a plane, really existing or imaginary objects, indicating their forms with lines and varying degrees of illumination of these forms by covering them more or less strongly with some single-colored substance.

Visual activity of preschoolers plays a key role in the development of a child’s personality, since for a child it is the joy of learning and creativity. A necessary condition for the ability to depict is visual perception of the surrounding world. To sculpt or draw any object, you need to become familiar with it, remember its size, color and shape. In kindergarten, it is solved mainly in older groups. An important learning task is to develop the ability to compose patterns, taking into account rhythm, symmetry, and color. The solution to this problem is related to the peculiarities of the aesthetic development of a preschooler.

Visual activity in this matter is multifaceted. With its help, creative abilities are formed, morality is brought up, the habit of work is instilled, and the functioning of mental functions improves. How visual activity develops in preschool age. The child makes his first attempts at creative images in drawing. Cognitive interest encourages the child to take a pencil or felt-tip pen and move it along a sheet of paper.

Explanatory note

In my opinion, visual arts are perhaps the most interesting activity for preschoolers. It allows the child to express his impressions of the world around him in his drawings. At the same time, visual activity is invaluable for the comprehensive development of children, the disclosure and enrichment of their creative abilities. For the timely and full development of a preschooler’s creative abilities, it is necessary to be introduced to visual arts.

Based on my observations of children in drawing classes, I was faced with such a seemingly small problem as uncertainty that they would be able to draw a drawing, and tightness in the choice of visual media. I thought about how you can liberate children, instill in them that very confidence in their skills, make them believe that they can very easily become little artists and create miracles on paper. I settled on an unconventional drawing technique.

V. A. Sukhomlinsky wrote: “The origins of children’s abilities and talents are at their fingertips. From the fingers, figuratively speaking, come the finest threads - streams that feed the source of creative thought. In other words, the more skill in a child’s hand, the smarter the child.” These words became my goal in working with children - to strive to develop their creative abilities, skills, thinking, and enrich their inner world. Therefore, when organizing visual activities, I use different materials and unconventional drawing techniques.

Problem

Many scientists have studied the problem of the development of creativity. Psychologists (L. S. Vygotsky, B. M. Teplov, L. S. Rubinstein) revealed the concept of creative abilities, identified components and stages of their development, examined the relationship between creativity and learning, and indicated the conditions for the development of creativity. Teacher E. A. Flerina was one of the first to define the concept of “children’s artistic creativity.”

There is no need to limit children to pencils, felt-tip pens, or a brush; the child should be given the opportunity to show his talent with the help of other materials that the child decides to use. But do all teachers use this type of children's creativity in their work? Surely, different methods of creating images and finding new variable solutions are not always used when creating children's creative works. Are all children capable of creative thinking and creating unique images? After all, every child is unique and original. How to recognize and unlock a child’s potential? Outwardly the child is very quiet, silent, but internally he is uniquely rich. All children are different. My task, as a teacher, is to unleash the creative potential of the child. In my opinion, we, adults, must provide the child with all available material for children's creative development, enrichment of the inner world, and search for new creative solutions. Only then will our children be confident, comprehensively developed individuals, capable of thinking creatively and meeting the demands of the modern world.
