4.Practical part: a master class on the use of elements of art therapy in working with preschoolers.

At present, teachers of preschool educational institutions are on the threshold of a new era in the history of the Russian preschool education. At this stage, the content of preschool education is being revised

It is a well known fact that speech disorders in preschool children, is not exclusively a speech therapy problem. Speech disorders limit the cognitive abilities of children. Simultaneously with the speech sphere, the emotional and sensory-perceptual sphere of the child suffers. Children in this group have extremely low performance. Working with these children conventional methods and methods, does not always give effective results. Therefore, it is necessary to use new technologies that simultaneously ensure the cognitive development of children and stimulate their speech activity. In my opinion, art therapy is such a technology that carries special correctional and developmental opportunities. Having become acquainted with the methodological literature, Internet materials on this topic, I often use elements of art therapy varieties in my work with preschoolers.

Art therapy is an interdisciplinary approach that combines various fields of knowledge - psychology, pedagogy, medicine, etc. There are advantages that make it highly competitive:

  • Firstly, it is that the art therapy environment is psychologically safe, non-judgmental, free.
  • Secondly, the product of the child's creativity makes it possible to give a retrospective assessment, to trace the dynamics of development.
  • Thirdly, art therapy creates opportunities to realize one's own value. It is also important that art therapy is a means non-verbal communication. This makes it especially valuable for those who do not speak well enough, who find it difficult to express their thoughts in words;

Almost every child can participate in art therapy work, which does not require any visual abilities or artistic skills. In addition, the products of fine art are an objective evidence of the moods and thoughts of a preschooler, which allows them to be used as diagnostics. Art therapy allows you to know yourself and the world. In most cases, art therapy work evokes positive emotions in children, helps to overcome passivity and lack of initiative, to form a more active life position. A by-product of art therapy is the satisfaction that comes from discovering hidden skills and their development.

Art therapy techniques are used for a fairly wide range of problems. Main tasks in working with children are:

  • The development of cognitive-speech activity through the use of art therapy.
  • Using the resources of fairy tale therapy for development, for solving a number of problems: training, education, personality development, speech correction, behavior.
  • Expanding the horizons of children, instilling love for cultural heritage through music, painting, poetry.
  • Stimulation of creativity, originality of thinking.
  • Development of self-confidence.
  • Harmonization of the emotional state.
  • Contribute to the development of the children's team.

2.Views art therapy for preschoolers:

  • isotherapy
  • color therapy
  • sand therapy
  • Phototherapy
  • Game therapy
  • Music therapy
  • Vocal therapy
  • fairy tale therapy
  • Dance Movement Therapy

It is important that art therapy does not require special training. Interaction with children through art therapy is very fruitful and interesting. GCD are built on a game plot, where children perform certain tasks of the teacher. This wonderful form allows you to include a number of speech games, exercises, tasks for speech correction. In addition, it allows you to attract and interest inactive children, increase the index of positive well-being and psychological comfort. Using art therapy in the course of directly educational activities I strive for the child to be an active participant pedagogical process rather than a passive listener.

In your work, you can use the following elements of art therapy:

fairy tale therapy. Tales in pedagogical work have been used for a long time. The use of a fairy tale in preschool age contributes to the targeted development of the speech sphere. In a fascinating form and understandable words, the fairy tale shows the child the surrounding life, people, their actions and destinies, shows what this or that action of the hero leads to. This unique opportunity to survive, "lose" life situations without harming one's own life and destiny puts the fairy tale on a par with the most effective ways educational and educational work with children.

Sand therapy. Sand - lovely material to work with children of all ages. Its use for corrective purposes is far from new. With great interest, children participate in the tasks of the teacher in the "Jungian sandbox" with various fillers (sand, semolina, buckwheat, rice, small toys). Its use develops fine motor skills, allows you to consolidate the speech skills of children. Children with great pleasure draw, build, depict traces of animals in the sandbox, plots of stories, objects for given sounds and at the same time accompany their actions with speech.

Color therapy. Teachers need to have basic information about color therapy and use this knowledge in the educational process. The method of immersion in a certain color is currently actively used in practice. work of preschool educational institution. With inactive, passive children, educators use red, orange, or yellow to activate tasks. These are color photographs, tasks with color chips, etc. Hyperactive children are offered exercises with cool shades of color: blue, blue or green. Tasks with color help develop attention and concentration in children.

water therapy. Water is the first and favorite object for research by all children. The first substance that a child is happy to get acquainted with is water. She gives the child pleasant sensations, develops various receptors, provides almost unlimited opportunities for the development of cognitive activity. The value of technology lies in the fact that Playing with water is one of the most enjoyable ways to learn. This makes it possible to use this technology for cognitive, speech development, enrichment of the emotional experience of the child, with difficulties with adaptation.

Music therapy- one of the methods that strengthens the health of children, gives children pleasure. Music contributes to the development of creativity, imagination. The melody is especially effective for our hyperactive children, increases interest in the world around us, and contributes to the development of the child's culture. Music therapy is a method of psycho-corrective influence on a person, based on the ability to influence music on emotional, volitional, intellectual and personal development.

Game therapy– impact on children with the use of games. The game has strong influence on the development of the child's personality, contributes to the development of communication, communication, the creation of close relationships, increases self-esteem. The game is formed arbitrary behavior child, his socialization.

isotherapy

Isotherapy is one of the most developed areas of art therapy, which involves the use of visual means and opportunities for personal development. Isotherapy includes different areas of activity: drawing, color therapy, drawing projective diagnostics and others.

Isotherapy is a therapy with fine arts, first of all, with drawing. It is used for the psychological correction of clients with neurotic, psychosomatic disorders, children and adolescents with learning difficulties and social adaptation in intra-family conflicts. The use of isotherapy in medicine is due to therapeutic and rehabilitation tasks, and in psychology, to a greater extent, to corrective and preventive ones. Isotherapy gives positive results in working with children various problems: mental retardation, speech difficulties, hearing impairment, mental retardation, with autism, where verbal contact is difficult. Drawing is especially useful when working with people who are angry or reluctant. Anyone who has problems with verbalization receives a means of communication that does not require words. At the same time, people who are overwhelmed with anger, fearing that they will not be able to control their anger, thanks to the drawing, can be discharged without fear of consequences.

The positive impact of fine art on a person was analyzed by domestic and foreign scientists (A. V. Zaporozhets, E. I. Ignatiev, V. S. Kuzin, B. M. Yemensky, N. I. Sakulina, B. Jefferson, E. Kramer, V. Lounfeld, W. Lambert and others). Psychoanalytic theories had a great influence on the ideas of such art therapists as M. Namburg, E. Kramer, I. Champerton and served theoretical justification the positive impact of artistic creativity on the emotional sphere. Carl Jung believed that imagination and creativity in themselves have healing power. A significant contribution to modern foreign and domestic isotherapy was made by V. E. Folke, T. V. Keller, R. B. Khaikin, M. E. Bruno and others. O. A. Kabanova was engaged in drawing therapy with children.

Isotherapy is a very environmentally friendly method of therapy and is suitable for most people. There are, however, a few exceptions that must be taken into account. For example, the characteristics of patients who are very afraid of information coming from their drawings, or people with very weak ego boundaries. In this latter case, the therapist must ensure safety and interpret only the facts that the patient's weak self can bear.

Visual creativity allows the client to feel and understand himself, freely express his thoughts and feelings, be himself, freely express dreams and hopes, and also free himself from negative experiences of the past. After all, this is not only a reflection in the minds of clients of the surrounding and social reality, but also its modeling, an expression of attitude towards it. Drawing develops sensory-motor coordination, in addition, it participates in the coordination of interhemispheric relationships. Being directly associated with the most important functions (vision, motor coordination, speech, thinking), drawing not only contributes to the development of each of these functions, but also links them together. Isotherapy uses the process of creating images as a tool for achieving goals.

Isotherapeutic work involves the use of various visual materials:

1) paints, pencils, wax crayons, pastels;

2) drawing paper different forms atov and shades, cardboard;

3) brushes of different sizes, sponges for painting large spaces.

Work algorithm

Introduction. Every person is pleased when he can move in the direction he wants, and at the speed he wants.

Instruction. Clients sit in the middle of a sheet of paper taped to the floor and place two pencils side by side. They close their eyes and for several minutes explore their inner sensory space for current and significant needs at the moment. Then the client is invited to take simple pencils in both hands and start drawing to calm music without taking his hands off the paper. You should draw in different positions, trying to fill the entire space of the paper with drawings. It is important to relax, listen to your hands and make those movements, the impulses of which originate in the body.

After completing the gesture drawing, the client is asked to write an essay: “What significant needs guided me when interacting with paper? What qualities did I manage to show in this?

The story is read aloud to the partner or group at the request of the client. Upon completion, the client is asked to draw seven drawings on A5 paper: "Birth"; "Support"; "Block"; "The change"; "Strength of the family"; "Parents"; "Return to yourself".

With the help of these drawings, participants create a maze:

Lay out seven mini drawings on the wallpaper where the gesture drawing took place;

The sequence of unfolding the drawings is determined by the personal desire of the client;

As you walk through the maze, you must step on each of the symbols and say, "I'm going through... and I want to...". You can't go back! Turning around is possible. It is impossible to shift pictures when the movement has already begun.

When the labyrinth is completed, the client is invited to write an essay about the feelings and experiences that accompanied him during his journey through the labyrinth, about what thoughts, realizations, ideas came to him at that time.

Conclusions. Gesture drawing technique helps to remove internal control mechanisms, develop spontaneity of actions and feelings, creative vision of events.

Introduction. In writing (orally) list the people with whom you live together under the same roof.

Main part

Write (name) the names of 7-8 people from among your relatives, friends who influence your development at the moment.

On an A4 sheet, draw with a simple pencil a village house, which must have a foundation, walls, windows, roof, attic, chimney, doors, threshold.

Assign each part of the house the name of a specific person, starting with yourself. Directly on the picture, write which of the people you indicated can be the roof, who can be the windows, walls, etc.

Discuss possible interpretations of the work with the client.

Possible interpretations:

foundation- in the meaning of "+": the main material and spiritual "provider" of the family, the one on whom everything rests; in the meaning of "-": a person who is under pressure from everyone;

walls- a person who is directly responsible for the emotional state of the family and the author of the drawing;

window- the future, people from whom the family expects something, on whom it has hopes (it is normal when windows are associated with children);

roof- a person in the family who pities and protects the client, creates a sense of security, or the client would like to receive this from him;

attic- symbolizes secret relationship, as well as the desire of the client to have a more trusting relationship with this person. The attic can also denote a person with whom the client has developed relationships in the past, but is less active at the moment;

pipe- a person from whom the client receives or would like to receive special care, support. It can also be interpreted as a symbolic designation of a person who helps to “let off steam”, regulate emotions;

Exercise: each participant needs to present themselves in the form of a dish for breakfast (lunch or dinner). Time to work - 15-20 minutes.

After the work is completed, the discussion usually begins with the emotional response of the group as a whole, and then the individual work of each is analyzed.

Suggested questions:

What is this dish? What is it? How long has it been prepared? How long did it take to prepare?

How often should this product appear on the table?

Is this dish familiar to our culture or does it belong to exotic cuisines?

How is it presented when submitted?

Is it the first, second or third course?

What temperature and aesthetic characteristics does the dish have?

Where is it on the table?

How does a dish “feel” when surrounded by other dishes?

For whom was it prepared?

Tasks:

✓ to teach the client to listen and hear his inner "I";

✓ increase self-esteem;

✓ to help the client in realizing the actual needs of his own body.

Inventory: wallpapers, brushes, paints, a jar of water, a simple pencil, a camera.

Working hours: 60–90 minutes.

Age limits of application: from 12 years and older.

Work algorithm

Introduction. Clients are invited to trace the outline of their body on the wallpaper, which is spread out on the floor. To do this, everyone asks one of the members of the group to do this. It’s good if a person doesn’t circle his body himself!

Main part. For sixty minutes, participants create a map of their body using natural landscapes. Seas, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, deserts, forests, plantings, gardens, glades, plains, glaciers, etc. should be placed in the resulting contour.

Then, in pairs, there is a discussion of the drawing process and its results on the following questions:

What feelings did you have when you created the image?

How do you feel about him now?

How does the image feel?

What inner resource is he talking about?

What parts of the image do you like the most?

What message does he carry?

Do you accept your image?

How sincere, in your perception, did it turn out?

Have you thought about external attractiveness image at the time of creation?

How does the resulting image relate to your life?

What can the image tell about your relationship with yourself?

Possible interpretation:

- the more a person used landscapes, the more he knows his own body and it is better mastered by him;

legs- willpower, human thoughts, inner core;

arms- the power of specific actions, the priority of actions over words;

the mountains– future perspectives; they are parts of their own body that are still inaccessible to a person, work on which he will have in the future;

water: sea, lake, quiet river- an intuitive human resource that is directly related to recreation;

waterfall- an intuitive-sensory resource of a person, which is reinforced and functions when this element of the body is publicly demonstrated to others;

meadows, meadows, greenery, flowers– energetically the richest places that are the “motor” human body; these are resources donated to man by nature;

desert- places that, according to a person, are unclaimed, energy-poor; this is an unexplored land where there is not enough love for one's body, acceptance of its features;

glaciers– resources, but potentially very distant; they can be used by a person in the future, or they can reflect his uncertainty or indecision. Lack of emotion speaks of "freezing";

forests- the thicker the forest, the more a person tries to hide in its depths dissatisfaction with his own body, its individual elements, seeks to displace these negative feelings into the realm of the unconscious.

This work can raise deep feelings, both positive and negative; it is important to be ready to work with them, support the client and give him the opportunity to realize his resource.

Conclusions. The implementation of the technique will help to actualize relationships that are significant for a person with those aspects of their own physicality that require special attention at a given moment in time.

Circle your silhouette to your full height (members in the group circle each other).

Using tape, hang the paper on the wall so that the portrait is on the same level as you, and start drawing.

In the process of drawing, pay attention to the feelings that you experience; which part of the body is easy to draw, and which is more difficult. Drawing time - from an hour to an hour and a half.

Dialogue with a self-portrait

The client is invited, looking into the eyes of his image, to address with a message, a wish for himself. It is important to refer to the portrait as “you” and speak out loud. In this dialogue, you should be as honest as possible. The dialogue takes place in the trinity "the author of the drawing - the portrait - the witness (another member of the group)". The task of the witness is to provide emotional support and silent co-present in the process.

Working hours: 5-15 minutes.

Self-portrait photography (required!)

Discussion.

Did you enjoy the process?

What feelings arose while drawing a self-portrait?

How are attitudes and feelings towards a self-portrait related to attitudes and feelings towards oneself?

What was easy to draw? What is more difficult?

How does this relate to your beliefs and views about yourself in real life?

Conclusions. Self-portrait, like any projective technique, makes it possible to subjectively assess the attitude towards oneself. The technique allows you to get answers to important questions:

How does the client feel about himself, is he aware of his needs and does he hear himself?

How does he see himself and does he accept himself the way he is?

Does the client have conflicts with himself?

Is there a dialogue with your own "I"?

Does the client have problems with any zone and, if so, with which one?

Technique "My family in the form of flowers" by L. Lebedev (modification by E. Tararina)

Target: revealing the client's perception of himself in his family system.

Tasks:

✓ determination of the subjective role of each family member from the position of the client;

✓ determination of the client's relationship to his family members.

Inventory: paints (gouache), brushes, a jar for water, a white sheet of paper (AZ).

Working hours: 40–60 minutes.

Age limits of application: from 5 years and older.

Work algorithm

Introduction. Each client is invited to draw their family in the form of flowers (plants, not the colors of the rainbow). It is important to clarify that the family is only people living at the present time, and the clan is all representatives of the family system. V this case we are drawing a family. The client does not receive any more instructions.

Main part

The drawing of a family in the form of flowers reflects emotional well-being, an idea of ​​​​one's place and role in the family, and the interaction between family members.

After creating the drawing, the client is asked to answer the following questions:

What have you created?

What feelings did you have when you depicted your family in the picture?

Are you on it?

How does your flower feel?

What feelings does the drawing evoke in you?

In what parts of the body did you feel the sensations caused by the drawing?

Which family members are shown here?

What feelings do they experience?

Do flowers interact?

Are there family members living with you who are not in the picture?

Which situation from your family life does this picture illustrate?

What are you able to change?

The images of flowers in the picture, their location, habitat reflect the real family situation and help the author of the picture to realize it.

Color patterns may reflect:

A field of flowers is a state of life in a society that replaces a family;

The family in which the person grew up or now lives.

Distantly located flowers, the absence of one of the family members indicate weak emotional connections, complexity and tension in the client's relationship with these people.

The "withering" of flowers is an image of physical distress or old age person.

If flowers are placed in flower pot, vase or grow in a flower bed, it is important to clarify who cares for these flowers, from whom they receive care.

If some flowers are placed at a close distance or grow from the same stem, it is important to clarify what, for the author of the drawing, their location too close means.

The presence of flowers of different heights can also be a subject for analysis.

The presence in the picture of similar colors, as well as the same color, may indicate emotional intimacy these people, their similarity to the position of the client.

Normally, the drawing is usually located in the center of the sheet and occupies almost all the free space.

Flowers can occupy different space on the sheet (more or less), this may be due to how the client perceives the living space that people allow themselves to occupy in reality.

If there are additional elements in the drawing, it is important to clarify their meaning with the client.

Normally, the client usually depicts the flowers of the area in which he spent his childhood, or the one in which he has been living for a long time.

Conclusions. The technique can be used in family therapy as a diagnostic and therapeutic form of the client's awareness of his relationship with family members.

Technique "Farewell to ..." by L. Lebedev (modification by E. Tararina)

Target: correction of response to negative experiences, emotions, feelings.

Tasks:

✓ learn to listen and hear the inner "I";

✓ work through thoughts and feelings that the client is used to suppressing;

✓ give way out negative emotions and feelings;

✓ transform negative state into the positive.

Inventory: white sheet of paper (A4), pencil, paints, water jar.

Working hours: 40–45 minutes.

Age limits of application: from 13 years and older.

Work algorithm

Introduction. Everyone is invited to determine the feeling, emotion, state with which he would like to say goodbye. Recall that feeling or state.

The main part Instructions for action.

1. Put an A4 sheet in front of you, close your eyes and draw a contour (if you are right-handed, draw with your left hand, if you are left-handed, then vice versa).

2. Then, with all your strength, crumple this sheet, dip it in water, wet it completely, “bathe” well.

3. Expand a sheet of paper and use paints to create new images.

4. Next, each participant is invited to take small sheets of paper, pencils and carefully examine all the pictures created. Write down how they "respond" on a separate sheet and leave next to the corresponding figure.

5. Then everyone can see what they wrote. You should arrange the sheets with inscriptions from the most pleasant to the least pleasant and analyze the last three. Often these are repressed feelings that do not allow the client to "live" and let go of the problem situation.

6. Clients are invited to answer the questions:

What was the original name of the feeling you worked with?

What is it called now?

What response did you get from this drawing?

How does it relate to your life? Or: “What does this picture tell about your life”?

Conclusions. Each person has feelings, emotions, experiences that do not allow him to live in peace, from which he would like to get rid of. This technique makes it possible to “live”, react to a traumatic state, transform it into a positive one, into one that will push you to new thoughts, and possibly actions. This technique will help release the energy of pain for creation and development.

The following excerpt from the book Workshop on art therapy. Master's Box (Elena Tararina, 2016) provided by our book partner -

February 18, 2014

Prepared by speech therapist Pachkova L.A.

We are surrounded by an amazingly colorful world, but sometimes we do not pay attention to the color of the sky, the sunset, snow-white snowflakes.

I suggest you take a closer look around and play with your children.

Working with color contributes to the solution of many problems:

  • increases the level of communication of children, their emotional responsiveness;
  • enriches the sensory and emotional experience of children;
  • introduces the techniques of managing their feelings, forms the skills of self-control.

Goethe was the first to discover the positive and negative influence of color on the human psyche, thus laying the foundations of modern color therapy. He noted: “Colors act on the soul: they can evoke feelings, evoke emotions and thoughts that calm and excite us, give rise to sadness and joy.”

V. Bekhterev argued: “A skillfully selected range of colors can have a beneficial effect on nervous system better than some potions."

American psychologist Jacob Lieberman studied the effect of light and color rays on the human body for thirty years, came to the conclusion that color and sunlight can replace almost all medicines!

Now there is a whole scientific theory of the influence of color on the psychophysiological state of a person.

Each color has its own healing power or negatively affects the behavior of children. By your favorite color, you can determine the character of a person, even a very small one. There is also Feedback: dressing the baby in clothes of a certain color, you can lay the foundation for the future character of the child. It is necessary to try to dress the child in a variety of ways: in a colorful kaleidoscope of clothes, toys and other items, children develop better.

The practice of "color day" is interesting and fascinating. Children themselves choose a certain color, and the whole day is devoted to it: they get acquainted with the color, examine, play, reproduce in drawings, create fantastic games, buildings. In the color space, each color is singled out in detail: toys of a certain color are assembled, soft equipment (napkins, tablecloths, curtains) changes. Children wear clothes of a certain color. In order not to overload children with color, all objects that are saturated, thick shade, exhibited in doses - for 2-3 hours, and objects of a delicate, pleasant shade - for the whole day.

For games, you need to cut out circles of different colors with a diameter of 4-5 cm from colored cardboard. (Colored cardboard 24 colors)

I bring to your attention games that you will make with your children and spend an interesting evening with your family.

There are two versions of the test: short and full. A short version of the CTL is a set of 8 colors: - gray, dark blue, blue-green, red-yellow, yellow-red, red-blue or purple, brown and black. Full version CTL - "Clinical color test" consists of 7 color tables. The test is a ranking of colors by the subjects according to the degree of their subjective pleasantness (cuteness). The subject is asked to disregard the associations associated with fashion, traditions, generally accepted tastes and try to choose colors only on the basis of his personal attitude.


Created in 1952 by R. Hayes and G. Hiltman. Essence - stating the connection between the subjective preference for color and the personal characteristics of a person, including intelligence. The test procedure consists in pasting with colored squares 3 or more schemes-protocols of pyramids containing 15 empty squares. Evaluation of the results includes counting the frequency of choosing the main tones, without taking into account the shades. By the number of used and not used colors in the pyramids, the breadth of the sphere of emotional response of the subject is determined. According to the shape of the pyramid (the nature of pasting it with flowers), a judgment is made about the intellectual characteristics of the individual.


Compiled by: E.F. Bazhin and A.M. Etkind.

The methodological basis of CTO is a color-associative experiment based on the hypothesis of reflecting the essential characteristics of non-verbal components of relationships to significant others and to oneself in color associations to them.

Equipment: 8-color table Luscher color test. The standard CTO procedure consists of several stages:

1. Determination of persons, objects and concepts that play a significant role in the life of the subject

2. Stage of testing.

3. Stage of interpretation of the results.

Project type: Practice-oriented (applied). The project is focused on the personal development of pupils.

Members.

pupil preparatory group No. 8, group teacher, parents.

Duration.

Short-term (1.5-2 months).

Relevance. Every year, society makes ever higher demands on the upbringing and education of children. Under the current conditions, one of the main psychological and pedagogical tasks is the search for new technologies that contribute to the intensification of the process of education and training, combined with the preservation of the psychological health of children.

First of all, the concept of "mental health" should be considered.
It is necessary to distinguish between the concepts of "mental" and "psychological" health.

The phenomenon of color perception and the peculiarities of the interaction of the human body with color have always been of interest to soul researchers who have tried to unravel the mystery of the deep influence of color on the inner life of a person. The human body, according to Indian yogis, consists of intertwining vibrations of sounds and colors, melodies and light streams, the dynamics of which completely determines the vital activity and mental life of a person. Combined with directed musical influence, color can lead to healing even in the most difficult situations. difficult cases. Color therapy is based mainly on the healing effect of sunlight, which was used by many ancient cultures to relieve various ailments. Later it turned out that individual colors have specific effects.

Pedagogical indicators mental health

Pedagogical indicators of mental health and well-being of preschool children are as follows - the behavior, thoughts and feelings of the child, adequate to the surrounding conditions and events;

Socially acceptable ways of self-affirmation and self-expression;

Positive emotional background, optimistic attitude, ability to empathize;

Uniform and timely development of basic mental processes, sustainable cognitive activity;

A friendly attitude towards others, full communication, the nature of which corresponds to age norms.

Color therapy is based on the principle of light photons penetrating our brain and affecting certain light-dependent hormones.

Color therapy was born in ancient times. Even then, ancient scientists noticed that exposure to color is not only able to restore peace of mind, but is also a serious therapeutic factor for numerous mental and physical ailments.

A bit of history: they healed with color in Egypt, China, India, Persia. In Egyptian temples, archaeologists have discovered rooms whose design forced the sun's rays to refract into one or another color of the spectrum. Egyptian doctors seemed to bathe the patient in healing streams of healing rays. V Ancient China the patient (in accordance with his illness - mental or somatic) was prescribed to wear clothes of a certain color or be in a room where the walls were painted or hung with matter of the desired shade.

The impact of color on the human psyche and body did not cease to be a relevant topic later. So, Johann Goethe, who was very interested in this issue, made the following observation: "Colors act on the soul: they can evoke feelings, evoke emotions and thoughts that calm and excite us, they sadden us or make us happy."

The famous Russian psychiatrist V. A. Bekhterev stated: "A skillfully chosen range of colors can have a more beneficial effect on the nervous system than other mixtures." American psychologist Jacob Lieberman, who has been studying the effects of light and color rays on the human body for thirty years, came to the conclusion that color and sunlight can replace almost all medicines!

At present, a whole scientific theory has developed that tells how exactly color affects the psychophysiological state of a person.
Today, many Waldorf schools use color at every stage of children's development. For example, bright and warm colors are used as a technique in lessons for young children, and cold tones are used to teach older children.

Color is a tool with which we can get the energies we need. But the constant impact on our body of the same color leads to an imbalance of vital energies.
Color therapy is a non-drug method of treatment based on the fact that each of the biologically active zones of the body reacts to one of the colors: the effect of color occurs on the organ of vision, and through it and through the visual analyzer - on the nervous system. Exposure to a certain color removes the energy blockade that is the cause of the functional disorder.
From birth, we are surrounded by color. He accompanies us everywhere and always. It is as multifaceted as life itself. The color scheme always affects our consciousness and physical well-being, emotions, whether we like it or not.

Each color, like the sea, has its own depths, undercurrents and unexplored areas. Each color contains a whole gamut of shades - from the thinnest and most delicate to deep, imbued with wisdom and knowledge.
You plunge into the color, like into the depths of the sea, surrender to its vibrations, like the waves of the sea, bathe in color, absorb the color, fill up with color, and only then you begin to feel what color is. The color is the murmuring blue of the stream, blinding gold sun rays, crimson dawns and purple twilight. Our whole life is filled with color. We are constantly engaged in color therapy, without even knowing it. Suffice it to recall our color preferences. We have likes and dislikes, pleasing to the eye or annoying shades of different colors. Wearing clothes of our favorite color or enjoying the colors of nature, we feel comfort, peace and inner satisfaction. Unloved colors, we prefer to reject, thereby weakening the unfavorable, as it seems to us, impact.

Dr. Max Lüscher, psychologist and color researcher, studied the selection of shades from colors different people. He came to the conclusion that the reaction of people to color has deep roots in the person himself. Luscher concluded that the choice of color reflects the psychological qualities of a person, as well as hormonal disorders in him.

Scientists have identified the physiological and psychological components of the impact of color on a person. And these two components have a close proximity to emotions. Different emotional states cause corresponding changes in the body: acceleration or deceleration of the pulse, a change in the rhythm of breathing, reaction speed, etc. Experiments have shown that exposure to warm shades of red, orange and yellow increases blood pressure, pulse rate and respiration, and exposure to green , blue and black colors lowers the same indicators.

At present, the economic and social situation in our society creates many risk factors for the younger generation, leading to a number of problems that need to be addressed. An important role in the concept of modernization of education is given to health-saving technologies, psychological support for children in educational institutions, and the preservation and strengthening of psychological health. Today, children still remain outside the field of vision and positive intervention, whose condition can be described as borderline relative to the norm and qualified as “mentally not ill, but psychologically not healthy anymore.”

Work principles.

1. Availability.

2. Humanism.

The child is an active subject of joint activity with the teacher, based on cooperation, democratic and creative principles.

3. Predictability.

4. Activities.

The knowledge that a child acquires in the learning process becomes the basis for the formation of motivation for his participation in various feasible activities.

6. Motivation

The principle of motivation ensures the development of personality, correction of the emotional-volitional sphere. Assumes motivation, aspiration of the child to achieve the goal set for him by the teacher. The setting of GCD tasks should serve the purpose of developing the motive for children's activities as a meaningful motivation for certain actions.

7. The principle of productive information processing.

Creation of such pedagogical situations, during which pupils independently master the ways of processing the information received, using the algorithm, the solution scheme just shown by the teacher; the inclusion in the GCD of tasks that encourage, motivate pupils to use the information already received, but in their individual task, i.e. transfer the method of information processing: iso - activity, choice of adequate behavioral solutions from the proposed options.

8. The principle of dynamic perception.

It involves the inclusion in the OOD of games and exercises that directly develop this process and correct deviations in its characteristics.

9. Consistency.

Appendix 2

Color exercises in kindergarten.

Wide application received color therapy for children. After all, a child is much more susceptible to the color shades of the world around him than adults. Color therapy in kindergarten can be carried out as part of art therapy classes with children. Color therapy can take many forms.

Method "Colored rain"

One of original methods that uses color therapy in a preschool educational institution can be called a tent of colored satin ribbons(method "Colored rain"). Ribbons are selected by shades - from warm to cold, they descend vertically, resembling rain streams. Children can hide in the tent, choose the color they like, iron the ribbons with their hands. Also during the day, children are invited to pass through the tent several times in the appropriate direction: hyperactive children - from warm to cold shades, and lethargic, inert ones - in the opposite direction.

At the same time, various variations of the exercise are possible - the tent can be replaced with colored rugs and invite the children to choose the one they like. Or, on the contrary, ask the child to change to another color (if necessary to achieve the goal of the exercise).

Exercise "Light the Rainbow"

You can also spread a white canvas in front of the child and offer to lay out a rainbow of certain colors on it (exercise “Light the rainbow”). As elements of the rainbow, arc-shaped strips of braid of various shades are used. Children with increased emotional arousal are invited to lay out a rainbow of calmer, colder shades, and children with a lack of activity, depressed, depressed - from warmer and brighter ones.

Exercise "Rainbow Country"

It is very important to teach a child to feel colors, to develop his color perception. For this, a number of exercises are also used in kindergartens. One of them is Rainbow Country. You can choose several of the brightest colors, each of which will be a symbol of one of the countries (Yellow, White, Red country, etc.). Children are invited to resettle residents in different countries. Dolls, toys or cards depicting fairy-tale characters can act as residents. Children must justify each choice. Why does this hero have to live in this particular country? What is the difference between the inhabitants of the Yellow Country and the inhabitants of the Blue Country, etc.?

The game does not end there - on the contrary, it offers a wide range of opportunities for the manifestation of children's imagination. You can invent different stories about the inhabitants different countries. You can also complicate the plot by adding new characters to the game who interfere in the usual life of the "colored" inhabitants, violating order and harmony. In this case, it is necessary to comply with several basic conditions of the game:

    all children take an active part in the development of the plot;

    all actions of children, accompanied by a color choice, should be argued by them;

    all color choices are equally accepted by the psychologist - there should be no “bad” and “good” choices (with the exception of vivid manifestations of aggression on the part of the child);

    during the game, the rule of universal respect is observed (all offensive comments, teasing by the children towards each other are immediately suppressed by the psychologist).

Color therapy for preschoolers is also a good opportunity to express their mood, convey emotions and feelings that are difficult to explain in words. First of all, the child is invited to decide on a favorite color. If children choose rich, bright shades of red, yellow or green, this is an indicator of harmonious mental development, dynamism and curiosity. In the case when the child prefers white or black colors, a tendency to isolation and loneliness is possible. Color therapy can also be used to correct this tendency. Shift exercises various colors will be of particular relevance here.

For example, you can invite a child who has chosen white or black to try replacing these colors with other, brighter ones. It is better to do it gradually. You can use coloring pages, inviting the child to color the white shapes in different colors, gradually increasing the brightness and saturation. You can also make applications. On the black (or white) elements of the figurine, suggest sticking something brighter (stars, stripes, flowers, etc.) and evaluate the result. If the child is satisfied with the new picture, ask him to describe his mood. Has anything changed in him? Did he feel better, happier, lighter, etc., or vice versa?

Color specifics of the interior in kindergarten

It is extremely important that children receive positive emotions from color not only periodically, in art therapy classes, but also in their daily activities. The color of rooms, furniture, toys - all this should be harmoniously balanced and cause appropriate positive emotions in children. For example, the walls in the bedroom should be painted in light, soothing colors, while the study and play room, on the contrary, may contain brighter colors that stimulate the activity of children.

Do not overload the interior of the game room with an abundance of various shades according to the principle: the more colorful, the better. Firstly, the more shades used in the interior, the more difficult it is to combine them with each other. Secondly, the abundance of colors increases the fatigue of the psyche, and in fact the child spends the whole day in kindergarten! When choosing dominant colors, one should remember about their psychophysiological characteristics:

    Red - has an effect on stimulating blood circulation, metabolism and immunity, increasing psychological activity;

    yellow - stimulates the nervous system vitality, actively affects various centers of the brain;

    green - helps with insomnia, has a beneficial effect on vision, promotes mental balance, peace;

    blue - reduces temperature and blood pressure, has a positive effect on the body in the fight against infections;

    blue - positively affects the strengthening of the endocrine system, forms a sense of psychological security.

Thus, color therapy in kindergarten is universal method, allowing not only to identify the main psychological characteristics of each child, but also to take certain measures for the possible correction of psychological deviations. Also, the undoubted advantage of the method is the favorable, harmonious atmosphere that color therapy creates. Exercise tends to arouse deep interest and emotional response in children, presenting it as an exciting game.

« A skillfully selected range of colors can have a more beneficial effect on the nervous system than other medicines. ».

V.M. Bekhterev

The period of preschool childhood is also a period of intense sensory development child. The study of literature data and the results of our own observations allow us to conclude that stimulation of the intellectual and emotional development of preschool children with color therapy is justified and effective.
Here are some examples of the effect of color on a child:

increases the level of communication of children, their emotional responsiveness;
enriches the sensory and emotional experience of children;
introduces the techniques of managing their feelings, forms the skills of self-control.

Adults (both teachers and parents) need to have basic information about color therapy and use this knowledge in the educational process and in life. Surrounded by red or bright orange, the child feels a surge of energy for the first 30 minutes. After 1 - 1.5 hours, he is already hyper-energetic, overexcited, and after 5 hours he will become irritable and aggressive. But it is worth changing this scale to light blue, and, literally in 20 - 30 minutes, the little evil one will turn, if not into an angel, then into a person with whom one can negotiate and hope for mutual understanding.
They say that houses and walls help. Do we think that depending on the color of the walls of the dwelling, children can feel completely different?
Color psychology recommends a range of colors in rooms for children from yellowish-green through yellow to orange. Blue and green colors are also suitable for children's rooms, especially south-facing ones, as these colors create a feeling of coolness. When choosing the color of the corridors, it is recommended to use tones that are not found in the decoration of rooms, but it is advisable to adhere to the general color scheme.
The study of the influence of the color of furniture and equipment showed that the performance of children is higher with green colors than with others (white, black, brown). In children, even the smallest, nature has a certain reaction to a particular color. The mood, behavior and even the state of health is affected not only by the color of the surrounding space, but also by the color of the clothes in which the child is. The presence of any color in a child's life (for example, red) can invigorate, improve mood, at the same time, its excess can cause a state of overexcitation, increased motor activity.

When choosing furniture, wallpaper and interior details for a child's room, one should take into account the effect of color on the child's emotional background. It should be borne in mind that the same color, but used in different locations (floor, ceiling or walls) can be perceived both positively and negatively.

Red color- used by active, restless children. They are alive, naughty, restless.

Orange color- fun kids. They play pranks, scream, have fun for no particular reason.

Yellowused by children with a well-developed imagination. These children are dreamers. They easily come up with exciting entertainment for themselves, even playing alone.

Green colorused by children who lack maternal care. These kids are calm.

Bluequiet children prefer. They are quiet, complaisant, balanced.

Blue colorchoose calm, balanced children. They do everything slowly and thoroughly.

Purplechoose "mysterious children". They are sensitive, gentle, vulnerable and very emotional.

Black is the color chosen by stressed children.
