Agree that probably, if not all, then at least the majority of all parents on the planet want to grow creative, unique, highly cultured personalities out of their children. We are from the most early years we are trying to teach and instill in our children a love for theaters, galleries, exhibitions and much more. But not every kid experiences the joy of visiting such establishments. Something can scare him, something can be incomprehensible to him, and therefore boring ... In any case, I think that probably the main task of us parents is not to obsessively drag the baby around all the well-known institutions, but to instill a love for the arts, explain why this is necessary. Therefore, before taking a child, take the relevant literature, tell about the artists, show pictures, talk, and then take a very prepared child to the museum. Thus, when he seems there, everything will seem familiar to him, he will recognize the paintings that he looked at with you, remember the artists that you told him about at home, and this world will no longer be alien to him, but will be a part of something familiar and home.
I believe that the art of the baby can be introduced from a very young age, when he is 3 months old. His brain is so inquisitive and inquisitive at this time that he will consider with great pleasure everything that you show him. So why not show him pictures of some of the most famous artists.
Here I would like to write a few words about the very good books, which you can use to teach your children about art.

How to play?
The smallest kids can simply print and show cards, while naming the names of paintings and artists. With older children, you can play with developmental games, fine motor skills, mindfulness, memory and much more. The easiest option is to print two types of identical pictures, one of which is cut into cards and offer the child to lay out the cut cards with the main field with cards. This game is suitable for kids from 1.3-1.5 years old. Memory game - print out two kinds of identical cards and turn them over until you find a pair of identical ones.
Can post 4 different pictures, then ask the baby to close his eyes and hide one of them. When he opens his eyes, offer to guess which of the paintings has disappeared.

A child always has his own view of art, which is determined by a whole system of images, ideas, ideas, his own understanding of art. It can be wide or very limited - close to everyday life, real life. In any case, this system of views on beauty belongs to the child and this must be taken into account, while enriching his idea, developing the figurative side of the perception of a work of art, maintaining interest in art and culture.
It is very important that the exhibited houses and kindergarten copies museum exhibits children would later see in the originals.
The teacher's story about the genre of painting is a portrait.
Portrait - a genre of painting, which is based on the image specific person with a strong personality.
Portrait painting is one of the most difficult and significant genres in the visual arts.
The word portrait means, translated from French, “to reproduce the devil in the devil” of the depicted person. The portrait is always drawn from life. The artist chooses the person he wants to portray, gives him a beautiful pose, in other words, asks him to pose. The artist faces a difficult task - to convey the appearance of a person, his face, figure, movement, costume, environment in which he is. But main value of this genre is that it conveys to us not only the appearance of a person, but also his character, mood, his inner world, personality, age.
Familiarization of children with the genre of portraiture is necessary for the formation, development and consolidation of an understanding of the state of another person.
When getting acquainted with the portrait, children have the opportunity to feel either small children playing with a lamb (V.L. Borovikovsky “Children with a lamb”), or a child with a favorite toy (V.I. Surikov “Portrait of Olga Vasilievna Surikova, the artist’s daughter, in childhood”), then children admiring the sea (V.A. Serov “Children. Sasha and Yura Serovs”).
The ability to put oneself in the place of another, to feel his joy, surprise or grief, gives rise to a sense of interest, belonging and responsibility. Children develop and consolidate the ability to understand the people around them, showing goodwill towards them, the desire for communication, interaction, sensitivity and caring.
In addition, familiarization with portraiture contributes to the development of emotional, aesthetic and artistic feelings of children. The sooner we develop the emotional-sensory world of the child, the brighter his imagination and thinking will work.
Through acquaintance with the portrait, the child joins the historical and cultural life of society, acquires knowledge about famous writers, artists, musicians, scientists, poets, public figures, about professions, life and appearance of people of different times.

Research by psychologists makes it possible to establish that the portrait as a genre of painting is accessible to the aesthetic perception of children from the age of 4. At this age, they emotionally respond to the expressive image of the portrait (smile, laugh, stroke it, etc.), show a positive interest in it. Carried away by the general content of the portrait, children at this age are still not quite able to explain the preference for choosing one or another portrait. However, some means of expression are already available to their understanding. So, in determining the emotional state of a person in a portrait, the main thing for them is the general facial expression, less often the eyes. Children are able to perceive and name the emotions depicted in the portrait - “smiling”, “laughing”, “crying”.
Children aged 5 also show a positive interest in the portrait. Emotionally respond to portraits of people whose images are not only close to them personal experience, but also known to them from literature, cinema. Children like people with a positive emotional state more, although they also empathize, sympathize with sadness and sadness. A five-year-old child already pays attention to such means of expression, such as drawing. When determining the emotional state, he sees not only the face and its facial expressions (the movement of the eyebrows, the expression of the eyes, lips), but also the posture.
Artists do not specifically paint portraits for children, so it is quite difficult to select them for use in the pedagogical process. Some principles for selecting portraits:
Firstly, these should be highly artistic works both in content and in terms of means of expression.
Secondly, the artistic image of the portrait in terms of content and form of the image should be accessible to the understanding of children, close to the level of their emotional experiences. To a greater extent, these are positive emotional states of a person, although by the end of the middle preschool age some negative emotions (anger, pain, despair) can also be shown.
Thirdly, you should select portraits that are diverse in type, means and manner of depiction.
At the first stage of work with preschool children, it is necessary to introduce them to the portrait as a genre of painting, showing its difference from other genres (still life, landscape). Children look at a portrait - a face with a pronounced expression (for example, laughs, rejoices, is surprised).
Then, a bust portrait can be offered for consideration, where, along with the emotional state expressed on the face (facial expressions), hands are presented in any movement, gesture.
At the next stage, portraits can be selected, where the relationship of facial expressions, hand gestures, postures is presented and where clothing emphasizes social role person. A more difficult stage will be to familiarize children with a portrait, where environment brings a certain addition to the image, contributes to a deeper understanding of his ideas.

For preschool children, the most suitable for the harmonious perception of painting are female and male portraits.

It is also necessary to consider a portrait of different ages (children, youthful, adult and elderly people).
IN middle group children for the first time get acquainted with the portrait as a genre of painting. The main tasks of the teacher in this process are:
- Arouse interest in the portrait in children, the desire to carefully examine it; express your thoughts and feelings.
Acquaintance with portraiture in this group should begin when the children already have some ideas about painting and its genres such as still life and landscape. Usually this is the second half of the year.
Portrait - complex genre painting. Understanding it requires children to have a certain social experience, knowledge of both the person himself and the fine arts, his language, and ways of creating artistic images. Therefore, long-term work with children is required, the content of which will include two directions. The first is the formation of ideas about a person, his feelings and emotions, moral attitude to many aspects of life. The second direction is the gradual formation in children of an understanding of the language of the pictorial image of a portrait. The first direction will be carried out in different classes, in games, everyday life, everyday activities. The second - in the classroom for familiarization with the portrait and in artistic activities.
IN Everyday life The teacher develops attention and observation in children. For example, Katya entered the group, she has new hairstyle. She is in a good mood, laughing, joyful. The teacher says to the children: “Oh, what a cheerful, joyful Katya is today, she’s just all glowing! And her hair is beautiful!” Or draws the attention of the children to Anya: “Look at Anya, she is unhappy with something. Look at the drooping shoulders and head, and the face, how sad: the eyebrows are raised at the corners, and the tips of the lips are lowered. Let’s go up to her and ask how we can help her!”
The teacher constantly draws the attention of the children and to emotional condition adults - parents, educators, assistant educators.
Children should be taught to understand sign language, facial expressions, posture expression. A good educator often uses gesture, facial expressions instead of a stream of words. This teaches children to look at an adult from time to time, his reaction to their actions, develops attentiveness and observation.
So, instead of the word “no”, you can wag your finger, shake your head, spread your arms (“Well, well!”). "Come here!" - invite by hand. “Shut up!” - finger to lips. Approving gestures: stroking, applause. Children should also be shown other gestures, telling what they express (grief, resentment, fear, thoughtfulness, etc.). You can conduct special classes: “When we are happy, when we are sad”, “What does it mean?” “Scared”, “surprised”?”, “Guess what I'm saying” (using facial expressions and pantomimics). The purpose of such classes is to bring children to an understanding of the emotional states of a person and their external expression.
It is good to use imitative-figurative games, dramatization games, in which children practice in characteristic gestures, postures, and facial expressions.
Children really like games in which you need to guess, understand a gesture, movement, posture. For example, the games “Where we were we will not say, but what we did we will show”, “Tell without words”, “Guess who is doing what”.
Having introduced children to individual portraits, it is advisable to organize an exhibition in a group with the works of artists already known to children, and then go with them to the museum.
The word "museum" Ancient Greece meant a house dedicated to goddesses, patrons of poetry, art and science. And today the “museum” is also a house where outstanding works of the creative genius of artists, sculptors are kept - monuments of history and culture.
A visit to a museum is an event in a child's life. Direct acquaintance with the collections of art museums has a huge emotional impact on children, and this is invaluable in the formation of a creative personality.
First impressions are the strongest and deepest, which is why careful preparation for an excursion to the museum is so necessary - a real holiday for a child and an adult. It largely depends on the adult whether the child wants to come here again and again. No need to force him to memorize the names of paintings and the names of artists. Of course, you need to pay attention to this - with due respect and admiration. The child will gradually learn to remember and recognize. But the main thing for him will remain a sense of beauty, surprise and joy.

The teacher invites the children to the music room.
caregiver: Children, today I invite you to visit visiting the paintings. Where can you see paintings? (children's answers). To do this, we will go to an art exhibition. Come in and sit on the chairs.
But to see paintings you need to answer question: "What's happened painting genre?» (children's answers).
You are great, you know what painting genre.
Listen precise definition used by artists.
Genre of painting- this is the view works of art with certain scenes artistic images transmitted by artists with the help of paints.
The teacher offers to listen to A. Kushner's poem, and for the correct addition of children to this poem, the screen will show a fragment on one or another genre: still life, landscape, portrait.
If you see on picture of a cup of coffee on the table
Or fruit drink in a large decanter, or a rose in crystal
Or a bronze vase, or a cake,
Or all the items at once, know that this is ... a still life.
(The screen shows reproductions of famous artists Khrutsky "Flowers and fruits").
The teacher reminds that the still life is divided into domestic and natural. In the course of the conversation, the children complement what a household still life looks like, but how natural. On screen in progress conversations Still life reproductions are shown.
After reviewing the still lifes, the teacher invites the children to consolidate knowledge about everyday and natural still lifes through the game "Creating a Still Life". Children are divided into three teams in order to collect still lifes: household, natural and natural household. Attributes for this game are located on three tables in a mixed mess. 5-7 minutes are given for the game. After the game, the teacher examines with the children the correctness of creating still lifes, thanks the children, the conversation about the genres of painting continues, the children are invited to sit in their seats in the auditorium.
If you see on picture, the river is drawn
Or spruce and white frost, or a garden and clouds,
Or a snowy plain, or a field and a hut,
Necessarily the picture is called ... landscape.
The screen shows reproductions of famous artists Levitan "March", Shishkin "Downed Tree".
In addition to this, in the process conversations, the educator suggests remembering that the landscape is simple and difficult: in a simple landscape, one or two plans, and in a complex one, from three to six.
If you see that with paintings one of us is watching
Or a prince in an old cloak, or even a climber,
A pilot or a ballerina, or Kolka is your neighbor,
Necessarily the picture is called ... a portrait.
The screen shows reproductions of portraits of famous artists. The teacher considers with the children three types portrait: front view straight, turn 3/4, profile view on the side.
The teacher asks the children to remember what painting genres were considered by children earlier, in the classroom for fine arts. The teacher asks leading questions.
In class, we considered a fabulous genre, let's look at the reproductions of the great storyteller artist Vasnetsov.
The screen shows the work of the artist Vasnetsov , "Heroes", "Alyonushka".
On picture Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov "Ivan Tsarevich on a gray wolf" huge dark tree trunks impenetrable forest like fantastic giants. An alarming light barely breaks through the intertwined branches of monster trees. dawn. A marshy swamp with water lilies is fraught with danger. An atmosphere of anxiety and sadness surrounds heroes: misfortune and separation await the fugitives. And in the foreground is a wonderfully blossoming apple tree - a symbol all-conquering love able to work miracles, a sign happy ending fairy tales. And this picture of the epic-fairy genre"Heroes". The artist worked on it for over 20 years. On picture depicts three heroes Dobrynya Nikitich, Ilya Muromets, Alyosha Popovich (shows). The Russian heroes in the field notice whether there is a enemy somewhere, whether they offend anyone somewhere.
Thus, the favorite heroes of Russian epics appear in picture as defenders of their people.
Look at picture"Alyonushka", it belongs to a series of fairy tales about Alyonushka and brother Ivanushka. The artist wrote picture from a peasant girl. Color on the picture is thick, saturated, enhances the reigning on picture mood of sadness, thoughtfulness, silence, mystery.
Then the teacher introduces the children to the new genre-animalistic and in the process of the story shows on the screen fragments of the artist Khokhlov's works for the cartoon "Mowgli". Animal is animal, i.e. artists painted animals in human form, it was implied that they could walk like humans on hind legs, etc.
animalistic genre is hard work , since the artist needs to draw this or that character so that this idea is clear to the viewer, because the artist, conveying the character of the characters, animals means people: good and evil, rich and poor, cunning, etc.
Children are invited to take attributes for the game.
Children conduct a dramatization game based on Marshak's poem "Gloves".
The teacher invites the children to relax and consolidate their knowledge of painting genres, play the game "Find an extra genre» .
On the fourth fragment genre superfluous. This game has 5 minutes.
After the game, the children are invited to go to the workshop and draw one of the genres today's lesson. Creative work is accompanied by Tchaikovsky's music "Seasons". On creative work 10 minutes are allotted. The teacher looks at the drawings with the children.
Lesson Analysis: Children today we are with you, we did a great job, considered a new genre, in a playful way, consolidated knowledge about what has already been studied. We remembered the great, famous artists, as well as their names paintings. You did a very good job, I thank all the guys here for their active participation and good behavior. This concludes our lesson.
Painting in kindergarten.
In kindergarten, children get acquainted with various types of fine arts accessible to their age. Using best images folk art and craftsmen, the teacher cultivates interest and the ability to aesthetically perceive paintings, sculptures, folk items artistic creativity, illustrations in books, forms the basis of the aesthetic taste of children, the ability to independently evaluate works of art. The perception of art develops gradually, therefore, a number of requirements are imposed on works intended for preschoolers. The drawing should be distinct, convey brightly and expressively the most characteristics object - shape, color, relative value parts, position in space. IN plot picture or sculpture, each image should be clearly outlined, characterized, so that the children, by one sign or another, understand who is depicted, what he does, where and when the action takes place. Composition is essential for understanding a work. A clear selection of the main, main (either by the location of the characters, or by color) facilitates the perception of the whole and understanding of the depicted. Paintings most accessible to preschool children Soviet artists on topics reflecting the life of children: T. Yablonskaya. "Spring", M. God. “Tanya, don’t blink!”, A. Deineka. "Future Pilots", I. Shevandronova. "IN rural library”, A. Tkachev, S. Tkachev. "Children". Some landscapes by Soviet artists K. Yuon, V. Byalynitsky-Biruli, G. Nissky, V. Meshkov are accessible to children. K.

Even for many of us, an art exhibition sometimes causes yawns and is associated with something boring and uninteresting: well, a picture, well, drawn - so what? And it seems that the child, all the more, will not understand anything. But if you choose suitable plot, discussing what they saw and sharing their impressions together - it will be fun for both the children and you. Therefore, so that there are no indifferent adults, it is better to learn to understand art and respect the work of a master from an early age.
Natalya Ignatova, lecturer, shared her secrets on how to instill in children a love of beauty with Letidor educational project Level One and a certified art historian.

Get the kids interested art exhibition not as difficult as it seems at first glance. And for all parents. To make going to the museum a good one family tradition, take into account the age of the young viewer and study art in a playful way. Knowing your child, you will be able to tell him the story of the picture in an unobtrusive and accessible way, which means that you will not overload with unnecessary information.
preschoolers
Toddlers from 4 to 6 years old are not very interested in who wrote this or that painting and for what. To begin with, they just need to explain what a museum and paintings in general are. Most children at this age are already familiar with photographs. They probably already tried to take pictures of dad and mom or their toys. Therefore, we can say that paintings are something like photographs. It's just that before there were no smartphones or cameras, and people could only draw - and not only reality, but also fairy tales.
IN preschool age First of all, you need to teach the child to look carefully at the pictures. At the same time, keep in mind that canvases depicting both nudity and scenes of violence hang in the galleries. Therefore, think over the route in advance. IN Tretyakov Gallery it is best to immediately go to the room with paintings by Viktor Vasnetsov (room number 26). Perfect Job for the perception of kids - this is "Bogatyrs".
V. M. Vasnetsov "Bogatyrs" (1898)
Tell the plot of this picture, which the artist loved very much, in the form of a fairy tale: “Once upon a time there were three heroes. Their names were Ilya Muromets, Dobrynya Nikitich and Alyosha Popovich. And they protected their lands from the invasion of enemies. And one day they went out into the field and ... ". Here you can ask the child what he thinks: do they see enemies or not? Pay attention to the kid's attention to how the sword is extended, the arrow is prepared, how the characters in the picture look - in general, push him to the conclusion that the enemy is somewhere nearby. Imagine together what will happen next. Encourage your child to think about how they are similar and how they are different. epic heroes what kind of characters they have.
By the way, it was this painting that became the last in the collection of Pavel Mikhailovich Tretyakov, which he bought himself and hung with Vasnetsov in the place where the canvas hangs now.
Apart from fairy tales, children will be happy to study pictures of animals, domestic scenes and still lifes.
I. F. Khrutsky "Flowers and Fruits" (1839)
Go to Ivan Khrutsky's still life (room 14) and explain to your child that artists often paint everything they see. Ask him what fruits and vegetables are in the picture, where the insect hid, what paints the artist used, who likes what color. At the same time, it will be more interesting if parents also share their impressions.
WITH younger students it is no longer necessary to run to specific halls, fearing that they will see scenes of war or the tender embrace of lovers. You can start with portraits and explain what kind of genre it is.
Selecting images different people, ask the child if they are different from us and how, and also play the game "Guess who it is?". A military man, a merchant, or, say, a king, with attributes of power - a power and a scepter. Tell us also about the fact that portraits differ in genre - there are ceremonial portraits, in full height, and there are chamber ones - to the waist, and offer to determine where which one is.
In addition, draw the child's attention to the emotions of the characters. To do this, consider, for example, the faces of men in the painting by Orest Kiprensky "Newspaper Readers in Naples" (room number 8).
O. A. Kiprensky "Readers of Newspapers in Naples" (1831)
One of them is reading a newspaper. One might ask: what are others doing? They are listening - this can be seen from the turn of the head of one and the thoughtful look of the other. Then it is worth asking the question: why does one read to all? And the parents themselves will help answer it, having prepared a little. All these people in the picture are foreigners, and only one of them knows the language in which the newspaper is written. And he translates. The least interesting reading is for a dog that looks at the viewer and does not understand at all what in question.
