《美术课程标准》明确指出:“兴趣是学习美术的基本动力之一。”小学生只有形成对美术学习的持久兴趣,才能激发创造精神,陶冶情操,完善人格。因此,小学美术教学要十分重视并运用各种方法激发学生的学习兴趣,只有保持学习兴趣,才能增强美术教学的有效性,促进学生美术素养的有效发展。一、了解学生心理。教师要在课堂上引导学生,激发其热爱美术的热情。应该给学生创作自由,让学生从兴趣开始,可以先画自己喜欢的,这样兴趣往往会产生“阶段性”的成果;再 “Fine Arts Curriculum Standard” clearly states: “Interest is one of the basic motivation for learning art.” Only by forming a long-term interest in art learning can pupils stimulate their creativity, mold their sentiments and improve their personality. Therefore, primary school art teaching should attach great importance to and use various methods to stimulate students ’interest in learning. Only by keeping the interest in learning can we enhance the effectiveness of art teaching and promote the effective development of students’ artistic accomplishments. First, understand the student psychology. Teachers should guide students in the classroom to stimulate their passion for art. Students should be allowed to create their own freedom so that students can start with their interests and draw their own preferences first. Such interests often result in “phased” outcomes.
