First, create a good teaching environment for children's dance, and guide children to step into the palace of artistic beauty of dance.
Children's dance teaching environment refers to the synthesis of various objective conditions necessary for kindergarten dance teaching activities, which is organized according to the special needs of people's physical and mental development.
First, create a civilized, healthy and beautiful material environment.
This is a tangible environment. Mainly refers to the kindergarten dance teaching places and teaching facilities. The establishment of dance studio and the configuration of teaching equipment should fully consider the characteristics of children's physical and mental development and the influence of physical factors in the environment such as air, temperature, light, sound and color. We think that the dance studio should have the conditions of ventilation, moderate light and suitable temperature. The dance studio should be paved with wooden floors or carpets with moderate hardness, equipped with handles suitable for basic training in children dance and wall mirrors with moderate height, and equipped with audio-visual teaching equipment, such as large screen, TV or large screen projector, video recorder, VCD player and other audio systems. Decorate colorful and childlike paintings and curtains in the dance studio. This can strengthen children's intuitive feeling of the beauty of dance art and learn happily in a beautiful environment.
Second, create a caring and harmonious interpersonal social environment.
This is an invisible environment, which mainly refers to the teacher-student relationship between teachers and children. Psychological research has proved that human perception can be divided into emotional perception and rational perception. When these two senses are in complete harmony, people's thinking is the most active, imagination is the richest and memory is the strongest. Children are often characterized by emotional exposure, rational dominance and easy mood fluctuation. It is of special significance to establish a good and harmonious relationship between teachers and students in children's dance teaching. Dance is an emotional art. Only when children learn to dance in a good emotional state can they fully experience the beauty of dance and show it. If the teacher is stiff and indifferent in class, it will make children nervous and slow-witted, and they can't appreciate the beauty of dance art at all, which will seriously affect the teaching effect. Therefore, in teaching, teachers should love and respect children with a sincere heart and establish a cordial, harmonious and good emotional bond with children. Patience in class, enthusiastic guidance in training, communication with them with love, and lighting their spiritual light of seeking knowledge with beauty can make children have positive and happy emotions and improve their initiative to participate in dance teaching activities.
Second, enrich the content of children's dance teaching and cultivate children's aesthetic consciousness in social life.
In dance teaching, it is necessary to help children master the basic form of their own physical beauty, establish the aesthetic consciousness of dance art, and give full play to the function of dance beauty. By studying children dance with different themes, and on the basis of understanding and expressing his works, the aesthetic consciousness of nature, society and life is established.
The teaching content of children's dance is rich and colorful. For example, the dance "Traffic Lights", which reflects the social theme, vividly illustrates the necessity of obeying traffic rules while driving and the principle of coordination between people and vehicles in traffic, showing the beauty of a kind of public morality. Children dance's "Watching a Drama in front of Grandma", which reflects the theme of life, flexibly uses the vocabulary of Chinese folk dances and national costumes, and shows people the beauty of a folk culture through the childlike expressions of a group of children watching a drama on New Year's Eve. For example, the children's rhythmic combination "Weaving Nets and Fishing", which expresses the theme of fishermen's labor production on the island, can reflect the simple beauty of labor; Children dance's Little Rocket, which expresses the theme of science and technology, can also enlighten children with the beauty of science; Another example is the dance work with the theme of "Let's go for an outing", which shows children a beautiful view of nature and can stimulate their feelings of loving the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
Rodin said, "Life is not a lack of beauty, but a lack of discovery". In children's dance teaching, as long as our teachers pay attention to the theme of beauty in nature and social life and firmly grasp the aesthetic characteristics of children's dance, they will certainly be able to create colorful children's dance works to enrich classroom teaching, enliven the children's holiday stage, weave a beautiful life and ideal for them and support a beautiful sky for them. Children will establish aesthetic consciousness in social life through the cultivation of dance beauty.
Thirdly, using flexible and diverse teaching methods is an effective way to cultivate children's aesthetic consciousness.
To cultivate children's aesthetic consciousness in dance teaching, we should seriously study how children produce aesthetic feeling in aesthetic activities, which is the most basic objective reality. Old Wan Cheng said in his theory of aesthetic mediation: "In order to understand the basic relationship between aesthetic process and its movement in aesthetic activities, we must first distinguish the subject and object of aesthetics, and then we can find out the intermediate relationship between" subject and object ". At the same time, the aesthetic process or aesthetic intermediary must also be placed in the system of aesthetic subject and object in order to obtain a scientific explanation. " In fact, in the process of learning movements, practicing combinations and arranging programs, children always observe and imitate under the teacher's demonstration. The children danced by themselves while listening to the teacher explain the movements. At this time, as aesthetic subjects, they made a preliminary observation and judgment on the aesthetic objects-technical specifications, starting and ending routes, dance changes, style rhythm, music rhythm, character personality and so on.
Because the aesthetic feeling of dance art is reflected in the physical movements through the psychological phenomenon and cultural accomplishment of dancers, if teachers lack the understanding and expression of dance teaching materials when using demonstration, teaching and teaching methods, or fail to demonstrate beauty from beginning to end and complete the task of infecting and guiding children to express beauty, then the aesthetic process or aesthetic intermediary will often not play its due role, but will weaken the development of children's aesthetic ability and seriously hinder the establishment of children's aesthetic consciousness.
With the rapid development of modern educational technology, the upsurge of using the educational advantages of modern audio-visual education to serve the early childhood education in China is booming. Compared with traditional teaching methods, modern audio-visual teaching methods have the advantages of combining sound with pictures, intuitive images, strong appeal and diverse means of expression, which can break the limitation of time and space and flexibly adjust the uniqueness of pictures according to teaching requirements. In children's dance teaching, audio-visual teaching method can be widely and flexibly adopted on the basis of inheriting tradition. For example, the "soft hand" movement in Mongolian dance has the performance of "geese flying in the blue sky", which gives people a vast and spectacular aesthetic feeling. From big to small, there is a feeling of "flying far away" and a beautiful artistic conception of "quiet grassland". In the teaching process, our teachers can first show the wild geese and horses on the grassland, Mongolian unique national costumes, song and dance scenes and related human geography through projection and television, give children an intuitive and rich perceptual knowledge, and deeply pour all their wisdom and emotions into the display and explanation of dance beauty, stimulate children's imagination and make them feel immersive, so that they can accurately grasp the aesthetic characteristics of Mongolian dance and establish a correct aesthetic consciousness.
