Drawing with children 3–4 years old. Class notes
From the author
By the end of the third year of life, the child acquires basic ideas about color, size, shape; listens to fairy tales; learns to compare real objects with their images in paintings; looks at the landscapes.
To a small child It’s easier to express your impressions through visual activities ( three-dimensional image– in modeling, silhouette – in appliqué, graphic – in drawing). He conveys images of objects using plasticine, colored paper, and paints. The child should always have these materials at hand. But this is not enough. Needs to be developed Creative skills baby, show modeling techniques, teach cutting from colored paper, introduce a variety of drawing techniques. To improve visual skills, one should develop the perception of form, color, rhythm, and aesthetic concepts.
A 3-4 year old child can do a lot: wash his hands, brush his teeth, feed himself, dress and undress, use the toilet. The baby develops simple verbal reasoning. He answers questions from adults with pleasure and is eager to communicate with other children; His gaming skills and voluntary behavior develop. The child develops an interest in drawing, modeling and appliqué. At first he is interested in the drawing process itself, but gradually the baby begins to be interested in the quality of the drawing. He strives to depict the object as naturally as possible, and after class admire his work, tell him what color he chose and why, what this object can do, what kind of drawing he came up with.
For development children's creativity and mastery visual activities it is necessary to take into account the interests of children, use a variety of lesson topics and forms of organization (individual and collective work). It is very important to create a friendly environment in class.
This manual offers notes on exciting lessons in drawing with colored pencils, gouache and watercolors using traditional and non-traditional methods. These activities contribute to the development of emotional responsiveness and the cultivation of a sense of beauty; development of imagination, independence, perseverance, accuracy and hard work, the ability to complete work; formation of visual skills.
The classes are organized according to the thematic principle: one topic unites all classes (on the surrounding world, on speech development, on modeling, on appliqué, on drawing) during the week. A drawing lesson for children 3–4 years old is held once a week and lasts 15 minutes. The manual contains 36 notes complex classes, designed for academic year(from September to May).
Read the lesson notes carefully in advance and, if something doesn’t suit you, make changes; prepare required material and equipment. Important and preliminary work(reading work of art, familiarization with surrounding phenomena, examination of drawings and paintings). It is better to conduct a drawing lesson after the children have already sculpted and completed an application on this topic.
By observing each child in activities or playing with other children, you can learn more about them and deal with challenging behavior.
If the child quits his job, as soon as something doesn’t work out for him, it means he doesn’t know how to overcome obstacles. This can be taught by offering him other ways to achieve what he wants. The child will understand that there is a way out of any situation. For example, if your child can’t draw a snowman, invite him to make a snowman out of plasticine with you.
If the child quickly loses interest in the activity, perhaps it is too simple or complex for him. Understand the reason and make the task harder or easier. For example, a child needs to draw a big potato. If this is too simple for him, offer to draw a turnip with tops. If the task is too difficult, the child can draw many dots with his fingers, depicting potatoes in a bag.
If the child gets tired quickly, cannot sit for even five minutes, try to develop his endurance using massage, hardening, sport exercises; During classes, alternate active and calm actions more often.
In order for the child understood the task and completed it, it is necessary to develop attention and the ability to concentrate. Play with him the game “What has changed?” Place 3-4 toys in front of the child, and then hide one toy without him noticing or swap the toys. Try to involve your child in logical conclusion tasks (“Let’s draw a path for the hedgehog so he can get home”, “Let’s draw a path for the fish more water in an aquarium, otherwise they have nowhere to swim").
Drawing classes are structured according to the following approximate plan:
Creating a gaming situation to attract children’s attention and develop emotional responsiveness (riddles, songs, nursery rhymes; fairy tale character in need of help, dramatization games, exercises to develop memory, attention and thinking; outdoor game);
Depiction of an object (examining and feeling the object, in some cases showing depiction techniques);
Completion of the drawing with additional elements (you need to draw children’s attention to means of expression– correctly selected required colors, interesting details);
Examination of the work received (children's drawings are given only a positive assessment; children should be happy with the result obtained and learn to evaluate their work).
Interesting story-based tasks make children want to do their job as best as possible.
Let us list the drawing methods used in working with children 3–4 years old.
Finger painting. The child wets his finger in a bowl of water, puts gouache on the tip of his finger and presses it to a sheet of paper, making dots.
Drawing with a foam pad. The child holds a foam swab by the tip with three fingers, and dips the other end into gouache diluted with water and then draws lines with it or paints an object inside the outline.

In this article we want to talk about drawing with children aged three to four years. What should you remember when drawing with children? How to make the activity fun and exciting? How and with what can you draw?
Let's try to find answers to these questions together.
How to organize a drawing lesson for children 3-4 years old?
- Think about the activity. Play out in your mind the entire sequence of what you and your child will do. Stock up on wet wipes and cloths so that you have them at hand if necessary.
- Give an example of what should happen as a result of the lesson. This can make it very easy to explain the material.
- Take a doll, animal or cartoon character and conduct an activity with its help. Children will be happy to support and help the puppet teacher.
- Think about what photographs, pictures, videos and audio materials you can use in class. This will make your lesson fun and interesting.
Best drawing techniques for 3-4 years old
Let's look at some drawing techniques for children 3-4 years old.
Hatching
The point of this technique is to paint over any area without going beyond the boundaries of the drawing. It is better to do shading with a pencil or pen.
Invite your child to color the bunny gray.
coloring book "bunny"
fish coloring page
We color the fox red.
Shading
Shading is similar to shading, but is done with paints. The meaning is the same - to paint over a certain area. For example, it is very interesting to draw colorful circles using plastic cups, and then paint them in a suitable color.
Lines
Straight, wavy, interrupted, spiral, etc. Here is an example of how to draw different lines sky, grass and sun.
Points
This is one of the first techniques that children learn and their favorite. Children can use this technique to paint sand, rain, snow, flies, etc. For example, you can decorate a pineapple with dots using a brush.
Or draw a clover with cotton swabs.
Splashes and blots
If splashes and blots are usually considered something untidy, then in this technique everything is just the opposite. Here's an example beautiful butterfly from a blot. We made a blot different colors onto the paper and then simply folded it in half. However, to get a butterfly pattern, you need to practice a little in applying paint.
But such a monster can be made if you apply paint with big amount water on a sheet of paper, and then blow on the drops of paint into the tube. Under air pressure, the drop will flow, leaving a mark on the sheet of paper.
An interesting messy picture is obtained if you apply finger paints or gouache to a sheet of paper.
Then we press them with transparent film.
By pressing the film onto the paints, you can see how the colors spread and mix. And as a result, we get an interesting pattern!
Watercolor over crayon drawing
The point of the technique is to draw a design with a white wax crayon or candle on white paper. He won't be visible. Then, when a layer of watercolor is applied on top, the drawing begins to magically “appear.”
Kids will probably be able to draw rain with horizontal lines.
Chalk drawing “Rain”
It’s a real miracle when the spirals drawn in chalk begin to appear.
Chalk drawing “Spirals”
You can draw fish in the same way and then cut them out.
Chalk drawing “Fish”
Seals and stamps as a drawing technique
The meaning of the technique is that the design is applied to a sheet of paper not with a brush, but with a seal. Let's see what you can use to make a print for a child: An amazing flower can be obtained if folded celery leaves are used to apply it.
A celery print makes a very beautiful rose.
You can cut a convenient stamp out of potatoes, for example, in the shape of a leaf.
Nature itself gives us ideas. If you apply green and brown paint, then the imprint of cauliflower is very similar to a spreading tree.
Stamp using a dishwashing sponge. To do this, dip a sponge in paint and apply the design to the paper.
Imprint of a rubber ball with spikes. Just like when working with a sponge, we dip the ball in the paint and run it across a sheet of paper, getting a funny dotted print.
A paper mouth, eyes and ears will help bring our drawing to life.
Finger paintings
You can use your fingers to draw dots, lines, or cover a certain area. Here we decorated an autumn tree with dotted movements.
You can simply smear the paint with your fingers, filling the selected contour.
Drawing from a pen print
The point of the technique is to make a amazing picture, adding a few extra touches to the print. For example, we can make green prints and add orange rectangles to them - we get a carrot.
Drawing from prints “Carrot”
Or glue toy eyes to the print and add a mouth - you get a real goldfish.
Drawing from the print “Fish”
A very touching picture drawn with palms and fingers “nest”. Children will be able to draw birds, and also find out with what love the mother bird incubates her eggs and feeds her babies.
Drawing with palms and hands “nest”
Very interesting way drawing is drawing something three-dimensional on big poster or back side unnecessary wallpaper. This way you can do group work.
We looked at several drawing techniques for children aged 3 to 4 years. However, things can go wrong. Paint may spill, water may turn over, and clothes may get dirty. Try not to get upset or upset your child. Believe - next time everything will work out! A lot of things just come with experience.
See how you can draw a hedgehog with your child:
