Creative work with your own hands. Children's creativity

What is creative work? With his own hands created work, hand-craft, written verse, composed melody ... There is much that can be attributed to this concept.

The child creates every moment of his life

In fact, any activity can be called creative, if a person does it by connecting a fantasy. Child creativity is sometimes in the simplest ways that adults seem ordinary or even harmful.

Here the baby is tearing up the paper and randomly scattering scraps on the floor. From the side it may seem that he is just a bully. However, the child may be busy with an important matter: he creates snowflakes that fall asleep.

Spoiled wallpapers are an attempt to depict something monumental, large, that does not fit on the sheet. Ripped curtains, perhaps, are also the embodiment of creative design - the child wanted to cut laces on boring monotonous drapes.

Life is a fairy tale you need to see

Connect fantasy, doing something, you need to teach kids from childhood. Even such a tedious job as rewinding tangles can easily be turned into a creative one, if we invite the "windrower" to imagine the glomeruli as living creatures that run around the bowl, talk, quarrel, make up - in short, live their "club life". And then a boring occupation is not boring at all, but creative work.

With their hands, rewound threads under the mother's or grandmother's fingers will turn into an amazing little thing, in the creation of which the baby will take part.

Types of creative work

That is why it is quite difficult to classify activities into specific categories. But if we consider children's creativity directly, then we should single out a few fairly extensive sections. These are the options for activities in which the child can reveal his potential. For example, you can distinguish such types of creativity as:

• Fine;
• Verbal;
• Musical;
• Theatrical-game.

This includes the classes of design, modeling, making applications. LS Vygotsky proposes to include them in the visual arts. But the research creative work is already scientific activity. It most suits the category of verbal creativity.

Musical children are already born

The first touch of art a man owes his mother. After all, she immediately begins to hum the lullaby with him after the birth of the baby. The first lingering "aga" is not an attempt to sing what has accumulated in the baby's soul, to share with the world its feelings?

But the crumb got to the pots and selflessly knocks the ladle on them. Where does the child have so much harmfulness? Does he specifically make adults out of himself, causing a headache with noise? Of course not.

The wise adult understands that the baby is performing an important creative work - he learns to extract various sounds by himself, compares them, adds them to a certain drawing. Let while he does it is incompetent, but look, as he tries!

And if next time instead of a pot offer him tambourine, castanets or triangles? It is possible to organize together with the child a real small orchestra and play an amazing melody.

Drawing - touching creativity

And the children are very fond of drawing. This kind of activity, they also begin to deal with early childhood. And if during the meal the kid intentionally spoils the table with jam, spreads a puddle of juice with his finger, smears his head and clothes, he may already be trying himself as an artist.

Quite tiny crucibles can be given at this age, finger paints, which are easily washed off from furniture and hands and can be easily washed off clothes and upholstery. And the wallpaper in the children's room is best replaced by cheap ones, which will not be a pity to change in a year.

Children who are already adroitly holding a pencil in the fist need to offer paper and show how great this "magic wand" is able to create on the white field amazing things.

And first let the child just scribbles on the sheet with pencils or puts a brush with shapeless spots. The main thing in this activity is not the result, but the goal that he sets for himself.

Classes in fine arts in kindergarten

In the classroom, children no longer simply draw. They carry out creative work on the topic set by the teacher. It can be a landscape or a still-life, a plot picture with the image of people, animals, fairy-tale characters or household items.

Children's creative works are interesting , in which the teacher does not clearly define the task - to draw a specific subject, but suggests to come up with the concept of the picture for this or that broad enough topic. Such may be the topic "We do not want war!", "Why should you follow the rules of the road?", "Take care of nature, because it is our home!" And others.

The words "sculpt" and "create" are often synonymous

To the fine art, as mentioned above, is attributed and molding. Kids using clay, clay, polymeric masses, salted dough, cold porcelain try to fashion what they see, like, what they were told or read by adults, what fantasy tells. Such creative works of children can tell a lot about their inner world. That's why it's so important to give the opportunity to kids to sculpt not only on the given topic, but also on their own design.

Collective creativity of children

Everyone noticed that kids sometimes do something together. Here in the sandbox they are building a small town or laying an autodrace, from the construction of fortresses. This kind of activity not only allows us to discover creative potential, but also teaches us how to work in a team that will be so useful to them in the future adult life.

It should be used for educational purposes in class. For example, the "Birdy Town" application can turn out to be wonderful, if the guys independently paste on the vatman paper-cut birds, their nests, flowers, leaves on the branches of a tree or in the grass under it! This is a wonderful collective creative work. With their own hands, the panel made and hung on the wall will become the pride of the kids, their parents and teachers.

Exhibitions of children's handicrafts

Children's institutions often hold a competition of creative works on a certain topic. It can be very different. For example, "Contest of crafts made of natural material", "We create from fairy-tale characters", "Magic cardboard", "What can be done from plastic bottles?" And others.

Children and teenagers purposefully learn to design from improvised materials objects, compositions that can be used in everyday life or as an ornament of a home. It is very important to put before the children the task, to show examples of work already done by someone, to explain that the more valuable is the option, which is made according to its own design, and not copied.

It is interesting that the creative work of students is often so unexpected in solutions, individual and so masterfully executed that adults sometimes do not believe in the authorship of the schoolboy.

The world children learn through the game

All children love role-playing games. Participating in them, they play whole improvised performances. But a clever teacher will not let this kind of creative activity into self-serving.

In all children's groups a special creative work plan is being developed in this area. It is necessary to specify the goals that the teacher seeks to achieve through the game, the necessary skills and skills of participants, which they fix or learn in the course of the action, methodical techniques.

For example, the plan includes a creative game "Shop". The educator sets such goals:

• Familiarization with the labor of adults who work in the store.
• Development of cultural communication skills in retail outlets.
• Fixing the names of products, their classification by qualitative features.

The preparatory methodological methods used to organize a didactic role-playing game can be as follows:

• A guided tour to the store.
• Talking with children about what they are buying at retail outlets.
• Molding of plasticine vegetables and fruits.
• Drawing on the topic "We went to the store."
• The ball game "Edible-inedible".
• Didactic desktop lotto "What products are made of".

Role games are used not only in kindergartens and primary classes. They are very effective when studying foreign languages. Also, the game of teachers in the classroom is very popular even for high school students - it teaches teenagers to be liberated, develops the skill of speaking before the audience, evaluative ability and peer review of other people's answers.

And all the favorite game "The sea worries" when the presenter asks to show different figures, reveals the real actor's talent from the players.

Creative work - concert

Often in the groups you need to own a concert. Well, if all members of a small society are familiar with each other and know who and what is capable of. But if the collective is still very young, if to it from strength for a couple of days, as it happens in summer camps at the beginning of the shift? Then the game "Camomile" will help to organize such a creative work.

You just need to cut out a lot of petals from the cardboard and lay them out on the table or fasten them with buttons on the wall. On the back of each one, you have to write a task: read poetry, sing, dance, depict an animal, tell a funny story and so on. Children take turns choosing a petal and preparing their speech. Some are grouped together. The ability to replace one job with another should not be prohibited, it's still a creative affair, not an exam.

Verbal Creativity

A separate item is this species. Even adults do not all know how to tell interesting stories about what they saw, especially when they come up with something. But to develop this talent is required from everyone from early childhood.

Children try to write fairy tales, poems, fables - it's wonderful! Wise adults immediately record all their creations. And let Bazhov or Dragunsky, Pushkin or Rozhdestvensky not grow from a baby later, the first literary experience will remain a pleasant memory.

But the skill of presentation, formulations, compiling descriptions will be required both for the child in school, and for the adult person in the future. Therefore, it is worth paying special attention to the retelling and presentation, the compilation of stories on the pictures.

Research

The process of knowing the world is constantly, from birth to old age. At each age, it has its own volume and its speed of assimilation of a new one. However, it almost never stops.

Here the baby is crying and tearing the newspaper, puts his fingers and toys in his mouth. This is a serious research creative work. The kid gets a lot of sensations, knowledge. But it is still too small to draw conclusions, understandable to others.

Later, even when the child begins to speak, one should direct his research activities in the right direction. From early childhood, children must learn to systematize the knowledge they have gained. Formulated in written or printed form, such research work may be called scientific work.

The first experiments the kid can spend with bulbs, putting glasses with plants on a window sill. The daily results of observations should be recorded under the supervision of an adult using records or drawings. The finished version of the report is already a real research paper.

You can organize creative research in the field of culture and art. For example, an interesting topic will be a comparison of drawings and ornaments on the dishes. Here the beginning "scientist" takes on a comparative analysis, learns to find the complex in simple, and simple - in complex.

More adult children and a topic for research choose more difficult. It can be analyzes of artistic and musical works, experiments with chemical elements, collection and systematization of methods for caring for plants and other interesting options.

Briefly about the main

Each person has creative potential. And the task of educators, parents, teachers - with the help of creative tasks, collective affairs to help him open up, give impetus to the development of the talents of the growing personality.
