Drawing techniques. Traditional painting techniques

Drawing with a secret in three pairs of hands

When your child turns 4 years old, we strongly recommend using this method. It consists in the following. Take a rectangular sheet of paper and 3 pencils. The adults and the child are divided: who will draw first, who will draw second, who will draw third. The first one begins to draw, and then closes his drawing, folding the piece of paper at the top and leaving a little bit, some part, for continuation (the neck, for example). The second, seeing nothing but the neck, naturally continues with the torso, leaving only part of the legs visible. The third one finishes. Then the entire sheet is opened - and almost always it turns out funny: from the discrepancy in proportions, color ranges.

Blotography

It consists of teaching children how to make blots (black and multi-colored). Then a 3-year-old child can look at them and see images, objects or individual details. “What does your or my blot look like?”, “Who or what does it remind you of?” – these questions are very useful, because... develop thinking and imagination. After this, without forcing the child, but by showing him, we recommend moving on to the next stage - tracing or finishing the blots. The result can be a whole plot.

Drawing together on a long strip of paper

By the way, it is useful to change the paper format (that is, give not only the standard). In this case, a long strip will help two people draw without interfering with each other. You can draw isolated objects or scenes, i.e. work nearby. And even in this case, the child is warmer from the elbow of mom or dad. And then it is advisable to move on to collective drawing. The adults and the child agree on who will draw what to create one plot.

Drawing yourself or drawing your favorite toys from life

Drawing from life develops observation, the ability to no longer create, but to depict according to the rules, i.e. draw so that it is similar to the original in proportions, shapes, and color. Suggest that you first draw a picture of yourself while looking in the mirror. And be sure to look in the mirror many times. Better yet, show how you adults will draw yourself, making sure to look in the mirror many times. Next, let the child choose an object for himself. It could be a favorite doll, a bear, or a car. It is important to learn to observe for a long time, comparing parts of an object. And further. If a child deviates from nature, brings in something of his own, resulting in a completely different object or toy, do not be upset. Praise your child: “You drew a new car today! You probably want one like this?” But at the end of such a drawing, it is important to ask: “How does the drawn car differ from this one?”

“I draw mom”

It would be good to continue drawing from life or drawing from memory (family members, relatives and friends could become objects for such an image). Supporting material may include photographs or conversations about characteristic features appearance absent relatives...Photos are taken and examined. A conversation is held: “What kind of grandmother is Valya? What is her hair like? Hairstyle? Favorite dress? Smile?" And the process of co-creation begins. After a while, you can offer to draw the girlfriends from memory. When you have collected enough drawings depicting relatives and friends, we advise you to organize a mini-exhibition “My Relatives and Friends,” where the first portraits of a preschooler are appreciated.

Bitmap

Children like everything unconventional. Drawing with dots is an unusual technique in this case. To implement it, you can take a felt-tip pen, a pencil, place it perpendicular to a white sheet of paper and start drawing. But the best way to make dotted drawings is with paints. Here's how it's done. A match, cleaned of sulfur, is tightly wrapped with a small piece of cotton wool and dipped in thick paint. And then the principle of applying dots is the same. The main thing is to immediately interest the child.

Foam drawings

For some reason, we all tend to think that if we paint with paints, we must also use a brush. Not always, say TRIZ members. Foam rubber can come to the rescue. We advise you to make a variety of small geometric figures out of it, and then attach them with thin wire to a stick or pencil (not sharpened). The tool is already ready. Now you can dip it in paint and use stamps to draw red triangles, yellow circles, green squares (all foam rubber, unlike cotton wool, washes well). At first, children will draw chaotically geometric figures. And then offer to make simple ornaments out of them - first from one type of figure, then from two, three.

Mysterious drawings

Mysterious drawings can be obtained as follows. Take cardboard measuring approximately 20x20 cm and fold it in half. Then a wool blend or wool thread about 30 cm long, its 8-10 cm end is dipped in thick paint and clamped inside the cardboard. You should then move this thread inside the cardboard, and then take it out and open the cardboard. The result is a chaotic image, which is examined, outlined and completed by adults and children. It is extremely useful to give titles to the resulting images. This complex mental and verbal work, combined with visual work, will contribute to the intellectual development of preschool children.

Drawing with crayons

Preschoolers love variety. These opportunities are provided to us by ordinary crayons, sanguine, and charcoal. Smooth asphalt, porcelain, ceramic tiles, stones - this is the base on which chalk and charcoal fit well. Thus, asphalt is conducive to a succinct depiction of subjects. They (if there is no rain) can be developed the next day. And then compose stories based on the plots. And on ceramic tiles(which are sometimes leftovers stored somewhere in the pantry) we recommend drawing patterns and small objects with crayons or charcoal. Large stones (such as boulders) are asked to be decorated with the image of an animal’s head or a tree stump. It depends on what or who the stone resembles in shape.

Magic drawing method

This method is implemented like this. Angle wax candle An image is drawn on white paper (a Christmas tree, a house, or maybe a whole plot). Then, using a brush, or better yet, cotton wool or foam rubber, the paint is applied on top of the entire image. Due to the fact that the paint does not adhere to the bold image like a candle, the drawing seems to suddenly appear before the children’s eyes, manifesting itself. You can get the same effect by first drawing with office glue or a piece of laundry soap. In this case, the selection of the background to the subject plays an important role. For example, it is better to paint a snowman drawn with a candle with blue paint, and a boat with green paint. There is no need to worry if candles or soap start to crumble while drawing. It depends on their quality.

Painting small stones

Of course, most often the child draws tiles on a plane, on paper, less often on asphalt. big stones. A flat image of a house, trees, cars, animals on paper is not as attractive as creating three-dimensional creations of your own. In this regard, sea pebbles are ideally used. They are smooth, small and have different shape. The very shape of the pebble will sometimes tell the child what image to create in this case (and sometimes adults will help the kids). It is better to paint one pebble as a frog, another as a bug, and the third will produce a wonderful fungus. Bright, thick paint is applied to the pebble - and the image is ready. It’s better to finish it like this: after the pebble has dried, cover it with colorless varnish. In this case, a voluminous beetle or frog made by children’s hands shines and shimmers brightly. This toy will take part in independent children's games more than once and bring considerable benefit to its owner.

Finger painting method

Here's another way to depict the world: fingers, palm, feet, and maybe chin, nose. Not everyone will take such a statement seriously. Where is the line between pranks and drawing? Why should we draw only with a brush or felt-tip pen? After all, a hand or individual fingers are such a help. Moreover, the index finger right hand The child listens better than a pencil. Well, what if the pencil breaks, the brush wears out, the markers run out - but you still want to draw. There is another reason: sometimes the theme simply asks for a child’s palm or finger. For example, a child will be better able to draw a tree with his hands than with other tools. With his finger he will draw out the trunk and branches, then (if) apply inner side hands yellow, green, orange paints and draws a crimson-mahogany tree on top. It’s good if we teach children to use their fingers rationally: not just one index finger, but all of them.

Nitography method

This method exists mainly for girls. But this does not mean that it is not suitable for children of a different gender. And it consists in the following. First, a screen measuring 25x25 cm is made from cardboard. Either velvet paper or plain flannel is glued onto the cardboard. It would be nice to prepare a cute bag with a set of woolen or half-woolen threads of various colors for the screen. This method is based on the following feature: threads with a certain percentage of wool are attracted to flannel or velvet paper. You just need to attach them light movements index finger. From such threads you can cook interesting stories. Imagination and sense of taste develop. Girls especially learn to skillfully select colors. Some thread colors suit light flannel, and completely different ones suit dark flannel. Thus begins the gradual path to women’s craft, a very necessary handicraft for them.

Monotype method

A few words about this unfortunately rarely used method. And in vain. Because it contains a lot of tempting things for preschoolers. In short, this is an image on cellophane, which is then transferred to paper. On smooth cellophane I paint with paint using a brush, or a match with cotton wool, or my finger (no uniformity needed). The paint should be thick and bright. And immediately, before the paint has dried, they turn the cellophane over with the image down onto white thick paper and, as it were, blot the drawing, and then lift it up. This results in two drawings. Sometimes the image remains on cellophane, sometimes on paper.

Drawing on wet paper

Until recently, it was believed that painting could only be done on dry paper, because the paint was sufficiently diluted with water. But there are a number of objects, subjects, images that are better to draw on damp paper. There is a need for ambiguity and vagueness, for example, if a child wants to depict following topics: “City in the fog”, “I had dreams”, “It’s raining”, “ Night city”, “Flowers behind the curtain”, etc. You need to teach your preschooler to make the paper a little damp. If the paper is too wet, the drawing may not work out. Therefore, it is recommended to wet clean water a lump of cotton wool, squeeze it out and rub it either over the entire sheet of paper, or (if required) only over a separate part. And the paper is ready to produce unclear images.

Fabric images

We collect remnants of fabrics of various patterns and different qualities into a bag. As they say, both chintz and brocade will come in handy. Very important on specific examples show how drawing on fabric, as well as its dressing, can help to depict something in a plot very brightly and at the same time easily. Let's give a few examples. Thus, flowers are depicted on one of the fabrics. They are cut out along the contour, glued (only with paste or other good glue), and then painted on the table or vase. The result is a capacious colorful image. There are fabrics that can serve well as a house or the body of an animal, or a beautiful umbrella, or a hat for a doll, or a handbag.

Volume applique

It is obvious that children love to do appliqué: cut something out and stick it on, getting a lot of pleasure from the process itself. And we need to create all the conditions for them. Along with planar appliqué, teach them to do three-dimensional applique: three-dimensional is better perceived by a preschooler and more realistically reflects the world around them. In order to obtain such an image, you need to knead the applicator well in children’s hands. colored paper, then straighten slightly and cut out the required shape. Then just stick it on and, if necessary, draw in individual details with a pencil or felt-tip pen. For example, make a turtle that is so beloved by children. Remember the brown paper, straighten it slightly, cut out an oval shape and stick it on, and then draw on the head and legs.

Drawing with postcards

In fact, almost every home has a ton of old postcards. Go through old postcards with your children and teach them how to cut out necessary images and stick it to the place, in the plot. A bright factory image of objects and phenomena will give even the simplest unpretentious drawing a completely decoration. It is sometimes difficult for a three-, four-, or even five-year-old child to draw a dog and a beetle. You can take them ready-made, and let him finish drawing the sun and rain for the dog and the bug and be very happy. Or if you and your children cut it out of a postcard and stick it on fairytale house with his grandmother in the window, then the preschooler, relying on his imagination, knowledge of fairy tales and visual skills, will undoubtedly finish drawing something for him.

Learning to make a background

Usually children draw on white paper. This way you can see it more clearly. It's faster that way. But some stories require a background. And, I must say, all children’s works look better against a background made in advance. Many children make the background with a brush, and an ordinary, small one. Although there is a simple and reliable way: make a background with cotton wool or a piece of foam rubber dipped in water and paint.

Collage

The concept itself explains the meaning this method: several of the above are collected into it. In general, we ideally think the following is important: it is good when a preschooler is not only familiar with various image techniques, but also does not forget about them, but uses them appropriately, fulfilling a given goal. For example, one of the 5-6 year old children decided to draw, and for this he uses a dotted pattern (flowers), and the child will draw the sun with his finger, he will cut out fruits and vegetables from postcards, he will depict the sky and clouds with fabrics, etc. The limit to improvement and creativity in visual arts No. English teacher-researcher Anna Rogovin recommends using everything that is at hand for drawing exercises: draw with a cloth, paper napkin(folded many times); paint dirty water, old tea leaves, coffee grounds, berry juice. It is also useful to color cans and bottles, spools and boxes, etc.

Report on the topic:

Unconventional methods and drawing techniques

"The world will be happy only when

every person will have the soul of an artist

In other words, when everyone finds

joy in your work."

We were all artists as children. Every child from two- three years and until adolescence they draw grandiose, multi-figure compositions with complex interweaving of plots, they generally draw everything they hear and know, even smells. True, this hobby passes in most cases. Only artistically gifted people remain faithful to drawing and painting. Children of the same age on all continents necessarily go through the same stages in their drawings: “doodles”, “cephalopods”, “transparency”, their imagination is surprisingly similar.

Visual activities, in particular children's drawing contains great possibilities. As children's researchers note fine arts(Sakulina N.P., Komarova T.S., Grigorieva G.G.), it is a means of mental, graphomotor, emotional, aesthetic and volitional development of children. In the process of drawing, all mental functions are improved: visual perception, representation, imagination, memory, mental operations. Many scientists and artists are sensitive to issues related to teaching children visual arts, trying not to impose their adult worldview on them. At the same time, numerous studies in the field of children's visual creativity by domestic scientists (E.A. Flerina, N.P. Sakulina, N.B. Khalezova, Y. Shibanova, etc.) have convincingly shown that without targeted, adequate guidance, children begin to feel creative helplessness, and, as they get older, they lose interest in visual arts. Modern approaches to the development of children in visual arts, to the content and methods of education and training are based on the search for the “golden mean”

Why and why do children draw? This is one of the ways to improve the body. Early in life, drawing develops vision and the ability to see. The child learns the concepts of “vertical” and “horizontal”, hence the linearity of early children’s drawings. Then he comprehends the forms of materials and gradually comprehends his surroundings. This happens faster than the accumulation of words and associations, and drawing makes it possible to express in a figurative form what the baby has already learned and what he cannot always express verbally. Drawing not only promotes the development of vision, coordination of movements, speech and thinking, but also helps the child organize rapidly acquired knowledge and increasingly complex ideas about the world. Why do children stop drawing as they grow up? higher value acquires the word.

In medical practice, there is treatment with drawing and painting (isotherapy). Isotherapy works especially successfully for children, because drawing is a natural need of a child.

He does not have an “inability complex.”

Fine art is perhaps the most interesting activity for schoolchildren. It allows the child to reflect his impressions of the environment in visual images and to express his attitude towards them. At the same time, visual activity is of invaluable importance for the comprehensive aesthetic, moral, labor and mental development of children. Many teachers of the past wrote about the fact that drawing is important for the development of feelings, thinking and other useful personality traits, skills and abilities: Froebel, Kamensky and others.

Fine art has not lost its wide range educational value and currently. It is the most important means aesthetic education.

In the process of visual activity, favorable conditions are created for the development of an aesthetic attitude towards the activity. Observation and identification of the properties of objects that are to be conveyed in the image (shape, structure, size, colors, location in space) contributes to the development in children of a sense of form, color, rhythm - components of the aesthetic sense. All children love to draw, but creativity cannot exist under pressure and violence. After all, drawing for a child is a joyful, inspired work that should not be forced, but it is very important to stimulate and support the child, gradually opening up new possibilities for inventive activity. I realized that non-standard approaches to organizing visual activities surprise and delight children, thereby arousing the desire to engage in such an interesting activity.

Original drawing Reveals the creative potential of the child, allows you to feel the colors, their character and mood.

As one wise man said:

“A child is a vessel that needs to be filled, and a fire that needs to be lit.” And it’s not at all scary if our little artist gets dirty, the main thing is that he gets pleasure from interacting with paints and rejoices at the results of his work.

A child only benefits from drawing. The connection between drawing and a child’s thinking is especially important. At the same time, visual, motor, and muscular-tactile analyzers are included in the work. In addition, drawing develops memory, attention, fine motor skills, teaches the child to think and analyze, measure and compare, compose and imagine. For the mental development of children it has great importance gradual expansion of the stock of knowledge. It affects the formation of vocabulary and speech connections in a child. Agree, the variety of shapes of objects in the surrounding world, different sizes, variety of shades of colors, spatial designations only contribute to enriching the baby’s vocabulary.

In the process of visual activity, the mental and physical activity of the child. To create a drawing you need to make an effort, work hard, mastering certain efforts. At first, children develop an interest in the movement of a pencil or brush, in the marks left on paper; only gradually does the motivation for creativity appear - the desire to get a result, to create a certain image.

Each child is a separate world with its own rules of behavior, its own feelings. And the richer and more varied the child’s life experiences, the brighter and more extraordinary his imagination, the more likely it is that the intuitive craving for art will become more meaningful over time. “The origins of children’s abilities and talents are at their fingertips. About t fingers, figuratively speaking, go the finest threads- streams that feed the source of creative thought. In other words, the more skill in a child's hand, the smarter child.”, stated V.A. Sukhomlinsky.

Imagination and fantasy are the most important aspect of a child’s life. And imagination develops especially intensively between the ages of 5 and 15 years. Along with a decrease in the ability to fantasize, children’s personality becomes impoverished, the possibilities of creative thinking decrease, interest in art, creative activity. In order to creative imagination In children, special organization of visual activities is required.

Mastering unconventional drawing methods, I came to the conclusion: if you like it when your children’s eyes sparkle with delight during class, if you want every lesson to be a holiday, if you want to laugh, be surprised and communicate with smart, creatively thinking children, you need observe, draw and improvise more with them. Non-traditional drawing methods develop children's logical and abstract thinking, imagination, observation, attention and self-confidence.

It is very interesting to watch how children depict in their drawings: smell, noise, and finishing the blot. They skillfully improvise and use their imagination, which is not always possible for adults. And I like that in your classes children learn to notice shades of colors (the leaf is not just yellow, but red-yellow, yellow-orange), build their own dialogic and monologue speech. It is difficult for a child to communicate, but with the help of a drawing he conveys his mood. In my work I use many methods of non-traditional drawing techniques, and I liked them all. I consider finger drawing to be the simplest of them. Children are delighted when, as a result of drawing with just two fingers (thumb and index) Cheerful yellow chickens or ducklings appear on the green lawn. And when, after a short physical activity or game, the drawings are dry, and the children complete the missing details and the whole picture appears before their eyes, there are no limits to joy.

Of course they are great, they are sorcerers and smart people! It's so inspiring and encourages kids to embrace their imaginations. Finger painting This is far from the only method of non-traditional drawing that I have used and continue to use in my work with children.

Another very interesting technique is drawing on damp paper. This technique is used in working with children of senior preschool age.

Painting with watercolors is more difficult than with gouache, but it is very interesting. You can only draw with it on white paper, diluting the paint with water. the more water, the more transparent the color of the paints. The works turn out to be very delicate and elegant. Children especially like to draw using this “Sea” technique, both in calm and calm weather, and in stormy weather.

^ Brushstroke painting.

Children really like to paint with strokes. The work turns out rich and interesting. Not all children turn out to be rich and interesting. Not everyone gets the stroke right. For some it is very long, for others it just looks like a dip. Therefore, it is recommended to draw more in free time on the following topics: “Christmas tree”, “Grass”, etc. Very interesting

and such drawing techniques as monotopy and diotopy (signet technique).

This method helps develop fantasy, imagination, sense of color and shape. We drew “Trees reflected in the river” with the children. The children drew with pleasure; they were interested in how one half of the drawing turns into a whole drawing, and even a painting.

^ Drawing with plasticine. This technique requires perseverance, patience and the desire to complete the job.

Others are also used unconventional techniques drawing:

Chalk drawing;

Drawing using natural materials;

Drawing with a poke (hard brush);

Drawing with semolina, salt and other cereals;

Drawing with threads;

Drawing with a candle;

Non-traditional drawing methods can be used not only in art classes, but also in other classes and in free time. Working using this method, I noted that children’s interest in visual arts increases. Having drawing experience different ways, the children themselves offer them, you just have to offer them the topic of drawing. Children also become interested because all classes are conducted in combination. First, using the monotopic method, we draw the background of the future landscape, and then in the traditional way (with a brush and paints) we draw the trees and everything else, and we again draw the falling leaves and tree crowns in an unconventional way- an ordinary crumpled piece of newsprint. The result of such work pleases both the children and me. I intend to continue working in this direction, because unconventional technique drawing opens up developmental opportunities for children creativity, fantasy, imagination.

BLOCKGRAPHY.

It consists of teaching children how to make blots (black and multi-colored). Then a 3-year-old child can look at them and see images, objects or individual details. “What does your or my blot look like?”, “Who or what does it remind you of?” - these questions are very useful, because... develop thinking and imagination. After this, without forcing the child, but by showing him, we recommend moving on to the next stage - tracing or finishing the blots. The result can be a whole plot.

DRAWING WITH TWO ON A LONG STRIP OF PAPER.

By the way, it is useful to change the paper format (i.e., give not only the standard). In this case, a long strip will help two people to draw without interfering with each other. You can draw isolated objects or scenes, i.e. work nearby. And even in this case, the child is warmer from the elbow of mom or dad. And then it is advisable to move on to collective drawing. The adults and the child agree on who will draw what to create one plot.

DRAWING WITH A SECRET IN THREE PAIRS OF HANDS.

It consists in the following. Take a rectangular sheet of paper and 3 pencils. They decide who will draw first, who will draw second, who will draw third. The first one begins to draw, and then closes his drawing, folding the piece of paper at the top and leaving a little bit, some part, for continuation (the neck, for example). The second, seeing nothing but the neck, naturally continues with the torso, leaving only part of the legs visible. The third one finishes. Then the entire sheet is opened - and almost always it turns out funny: from the discrepancy in proportions and color schemes.

DRAWING YOURSELF or drawing your favorite toys from life.

STIT PATTERN.

FOAM DRAWINGS.

For some reason, we all tend to think that if we paint with paints, we must also use a brush. Not always, say TRIZ members. Foam rubber can come to the rescue. We advise you to make a variety of small geometric figures out of it, and then attach them with thin wire to a stick or pencil (not sharpened). The tool is already ready. Now you can dip it in paint and use stamps to draw red triangles, yellow circles, green squares (all foam rubber, unlike cotton wool, washes well). At first, children will draw geometric shapes chaotically. And then offer to make simple ornaments out of them - first from one type of figure, then from two, three.

MYSTERIOUS DRAWINGS.

Mysterious drawings can be obtained as follows. Take cardboard measuring approximately 20x20 cm and fold it in half. Then a semi-woolen or woolen thread about 30 cm long is selected, its end 8 - 10 cm is dipped in thick paint and clamped inside the cardboard. You should then move this thread inside the cardboard, and then take it out and open the cardboard. The result is a chaotic image, which is examined, outlined and completed by adults and children. It is extremely useful to give titles to the resulting images. This complex mental and verbal work, combined with visual work, will contribute to the intellectual development of preschool children.

DRAWING WITH CRAYONS. Schoolchildren love variety. These opportunities are provided to us by ordinary crayons, sanguine, and charcoal. Smooth asphalt, porcelain, ceramic tiles, stones - this is the base on which chalk and charcoal fit well. Thus, asphalt is conducive to a succinct depiction of subjects. They (if there is no rain) can be developed the next day. And then compose stories based on the plots. And on ceramic tiles (which are sometimes leftovers stored somewhere in the pantry), we recommend drawing patterns and small objects with crayons or charcoal.

DRAWING ON PEBS

Large stones (such as voluns) are asked to be decorated with the image of an animal’s head or a tree stump. It depends on what or who the stone resembles in shape. The work is done with paints: gouache, watercolor, acrylic, then varnished, you can make magnets this way.

MAGIC DRAWING METHOD.

This method is implemented like this. Using the corner of a wax candle, an image is drawn on white paper (a Christmas tree, a house, or maybe a whole plot). Then, using a brush, or better yet, cotton wool or foam rubber, the paint is applied on top of the entire image. Due to the fact that the paint does not stick to the bold image like a candle, the drawing seems to suddenly appear before the children’s eyes, manifesting itself. You can get the same effect by first drawing with office glue or a piece of laundry soap. In this case, the selection of the background to the subject plays an important role. For example, it is better to paint a snowman drawn with a candle with blue paint, and a boat with green paint. There is no need to worry if candles or soap start to crumble while drawing. It depends on their quality. PAINTING SMALL PEBS. Of course, most often the child draws large stone tiles on a plane, on paper, or less often on asphalt. A flat image of a house, trees, cars, animals on paper is not as attractive as creating three-dimensional creations of your own. In this regard, sea pebbles are ideally used. They are smooth, small and have different shapes. The very shape of the pebble will sometimes tell the child what image to create in this case (and sometimes adults will help the kids). It is better to paint one pebble as a frog, another as a bug, and the third will produce a wonderful fungus. Bright, thick paint is applied to the pebble - and the image is ready. It’s better to finish it like this: after the pebble has dried, cover it with colorless varnish. In this case, a voluminous beetle or frog made by children’s hands shines and shimmers brightly. This toy will take part in independent children's games more than once and bring considerable benefit to its owner.

FINGER PAINTING METHOD.

Here is another way to depict the world around us: with your fingers, palm, feet, and maybe with your chin and nose. Not everyone will take such a statement seriously. Where is the line between pranks and drawing? Why should we draw only with a brush or felt-tip pen? After all, a hand or individual fingers are such a help. Moreover, the index finger of the right hand obeys the child better than a pencil. Well, what if the pencil breaks, the brush wears out, the markers run out - but you still want to draw. There is another reason: sometimes the theme simply asks for a child’s palm or finger. For example, a child will be better able to draw a tree with his hands than with other tools. With his finger he will draw out the trunk and branches, then (if it is autumn) he will apply yellow, green, orange paints to the inside of his hand and draw a crimson-mahogany tree on top. It’s good if we teach children to use their fingers rationally: not just one index finger, but all of them.

NITCOGRAPHY METHOD.

This method exists mainly for girls. But this does not mean that it is not suitable for children of a different gender. And it consists in the following. First, a screen measuring 25x25 cm is made from cardboard. Either velvet paper or plain flannel is glued onto the cardboard. It would be nice to prepare a cute bag with a set of woolen or wool blend threads of various colors for the screen. This method is based on the following feature: threads with a certain percentage of wool are attracted to flannel or velvet paper. You just need to attach them with light movements of your index finger. From such threads you can prepare interesting stories. Imagination and sense of taste develop. Girls especially learn to skillfully select colors. Some thread colors suit light flannel, but completely different ones suit dark flannel. Thus begins the gradual path to women’s craft, a very necessary handicraft for them.

MONOTOPY METHOD.

A few words about this unfortunately rarely used method. And in vain. Because it contains a lot of tempting things for preschoolers. In short, this is an image on cellophane, which is then transferred to paper. On smooth cellophane I paint with paint using a brush, or a match with cotton wool, or a finger (no need for uniformity). The paint should be thick and bright. And immediately, before the paint has dried, they turn the cellophane over with the image down onto white thick paper and, as it were, blot the drawing, and then lift it up. This results in two drawings. Sometimes the image remains on cellophane, sometimes on paper.

DRAWING ON WET PAPER.

Until recently, it was believed that painting could only be done on dry paper, because the paint was sufficiently diluted with water. But there are a number of objects, subjects, images that are better to draw on damp paper. Clarity and vagueness are needed, for example, if a child wants to depict the following themes: “City in the fog,” “I had dreams,” “It’s raining,” “City at night,” “Flowers behind the curtain,” etc. You need to teach your preschooler to make the paper a little damp. If the paper is too wet, the drawing may not work. Therefore, it is recommended to soak a ball of cotton wool in clean water, squeeze it out and rub it either over the entire sheet of paper, or (if required) only over a separate part. And the paper is ready to produce unclear images.

FABRIC IMAGES.

We collect remnants of fabrics of various patterns and different qualities into a bag. As they say, both chintz and brocade will come in handy. It is very important to show with specific examples how a design on a fabric, as well as its dressing, can help to depict something in a plot very vividly and at the same time easily. Let's give a few examples. Thus, flowers are depicted on one of the fabrics. They are cut out along the contour, glued (only with paste or other good glue), and then painted on the table or vase. The result is a capacious colorful image. There are fabrics that can serve well as a house or the body of an animal, or a beautiful umbrella, or a hat for a doll, or a handbag.

VOLUME APPLICATION.

It is obvious that children love to do appliqué: cut something out and stick it on, getting a lot of pleasure from the process itself. And we need to create all the conditions for them. Along with planar appliqué, teach them to do three-dimensional applique: three-dimensional is better perceived by a preschooler and more realistically reflects the world around them. In order to obtain such an image, you need to wrinkle the applicative colored paper well in children’s hands, then slightly straighten it and cut out the required shape. Then just stick it on and, if necessary, draw in individual details with a pencil or felt-tip pen. For example, make a turtle that is so beloved by children. Remember the brown paper, straighten it slightly, cut out an oval shape and stick it on, and then draw on the head and legs.

WE DRAW USING POSTCARDS.

LEARNING TO MAKE A BACKGROUND.

Usually children draw on white paper. This way you can see it more clearly. It's faster that way. But some stories require a background. And, I must say, all children’s works look better against a background made in advance. Many children make the background with a brush, and an ordinary, small one. Although there is a simple and reliable way: to make a background with cotton wool or a piece of foam rubber dipped in water and paint.

The concept itself explains the meaning of this method: it combines several of those described above. In general, we ideally think the following is important: it is good when a preschooler is not only familiar with various image techniques, but also does not forget about them, but uses them appropriately, fulfilling a given goal. For example, one of the 5-6 year old children decided to draw summer, and for this he uses a dotted pattern (flowers), and the child will draw the sun with his finger, he will cut out fruits and vegetables from postcards, he will depict the sky and clouds with fabrics, etc. There is no limit to improvement and creativity in visual arts. English teacher-researcher Anna Rogovin recommends using everything that is at hand for drawing exercises: drawing with a rag, a paper napkin (folded many times); draw with dirty water, old tea leaves, coffee grounds, berry juice. It is also useful to color cans and bottles, spools and boxes, etc.

Unconventional methods

and drawing techniques

Kumarzhanova M.A.

teacher of fine arts and drawing at school no. 12

Taldykorgan 2014-2015 academic year year

I was looking for low-labor design options for a teenager’s room (children from the period had already grown up soft toys) and I think that I found not only an idea for a gift-design, but also a wonderful topic for spending time together between son and father. On the site Kopanina.rf old maps (geographical and military), and uniforms, and books, and marches, and materials about artillery, numismatics, archeology and much more that are interesting to real men are presented! So, a map on the wall, “boys” at the computer and purely male the evening will pass in our house with "Hurray"!. In the meantime, men are joining the harsh paramilitary and historical reality, my daughters and I will just learn new drawing techniques...

drawing techniques with children

Drawing with a secret in three pairs of hands
When your child turns 4 years old, we strongly recommend using this method. It consists in the following. Take a rectangular sheet of paper and 3 pencils. The adults and the child are divided: who will draw first, who will draw second, who will draw third.
The first one begins to draw, and then closes his drawing, folding the piece of paper at the top and leaving a little bit, some part, for continuation (the neck, for example). The second, seeing nothing but the neck, naturally continues with the torso, leaving only part of the legs visible. The third one finishes. Then the whole sheet of paper is opened - and it almost always turns out funny: from the mismatch of proportions and color schemes.

Blotography

It consists of teaching children how to make blots (black and multi-colored). Then a 3-year-old child can look at them and see images, objects or individual details. “What does your or my blot look like?”, “Who or what does it remind you of?” - these questions are very useful, because... develop thinking and imagination. After this, without forcing the child, but by showing him, we recommend moving on to the next stage - tracing or finishing the blots. The result can be a whole plot.

Drawing together on a long strip of paper

Drawing yourself or drawing your favorite toys from life

I draw mom

It would be good to continue drawing from life or drawing from memory (family members, relatives and friends can become objects for such an image). As supporting material there may be photographs or conversations about the characteristic features of the appearance of absent relatives...Photos are taken and examined. A conversation is held: “What kind of grandmother is Valya? What is her hair like? Hairstyle? Favorite dress? Smile?" And the process of co-creation begins. After a while, you can offer to draw the girlfriends from memory. When you have collected enough drawings depicting relatives and friends, we advise you to organize a mini-exhibition “My Relatives and Friends,” where the first portraits of a preschooler are appreciated.

Foam drawings

For some reason, we all tend to think that if we paint with paints, we must also use a brush. Not always, say TRIZ members. Foam rubber can come to the rescue.

Remember the brown paper, straighten it slightly, cut out an oval shape and stick it on, and then draw on the head and legs.

Drawing with postcards

In fact, almost every home has a ton of old postcards. Go through old postcards with your children, teach them to cut out the necessary images and paste them into place, into the plot. A bright factory image of objects and phenomena will give even the simplest unpretentious drawing a completely artistic design. It is sometimes difficult for a three-, four-, or even five-year-old child to draw a dog and a beetle. You can take them ready-made, and let him finish drawing the sun and rain for the dog and the bug and be very happy. Or if, together with the children, you cut out a fairy-tale house with a grandmother in the window from a postcard and paste it on, then the preschooler, relying on his imagination, knowledge of fairy tales and visual skills, will undoubtedly add something to it.

Learning to make a background

Usually children draw on white paper. This way you can see it more clearly. It's faster that way. But some stories require a background. And, I must say, all children’s works look better against a background made in advance. Many children make the background with a brush, and an ordinary, small one. Although there is a simple and reliable way: to make a background with cotton wool or a piece of foam rubber dipped in water and paint.

Collage

The standard idea of drawing for many is associated with an album and drawing supplies: paints, pencils, brushes and felt-tip pens. Meanwhile, there are many ways to make a lesson unusual and exciting, one that will evoke positive emotions not only in children, but also in adults.

Unusual drawing techniques for children, using non-standard means and materials, are a great opportunity to show imagination and create spectacular, memorable crafts.

Draw with your hands

A very simple way to draw unusual and varied pictures using the tool that is always at hand, namely the hand of the artist himself. From a very young age you can use simple abstract pictures, and when the child gets older you can complicate the task. A child's hand provides ample opportunities for creating plots, here are the two simplest ones.

Butterfly

Take a sheet of paper and lay it horizontally. Fold it in half, secure the fold line well, then straighten the sheet. Put a little gouache on a brush (let the child choose the colors themselves) and paint the baby’s palm. If a child holds a brush well and confidently, then he can paint his own palm himself, this will give him a lot of pleasure. It is better to paint the fingertips and palm in different colors, this will make the drawing more vibrant.

Painted palm young artist attaches to a piece of paper. The base of the palm should be at the fold line of the sheet. Since a butterfly’s wing consists of two parts, the child places his palm once, with his fingers slightly turned downward in the design, and the second time, on the contrary, with his palm turned with his fingers up.

Then attach the second half of the sheet to the resulting handprint - and you will get a wonderful butterfly. For authenticity, you can draw the body and head of the butterfly by hand or cut them out of colored paper and glue them with glue.

Tree

An excellent option for depicting a tree using the same hand, however, now you will need not only the palm, but also the part of the hand above the hand.

The technique is simple: the child paints the palm and a piece of the hand just above the wrist with brown gouache, and applies it to a vertical sheet of paper. It turns out to be a tree trunk that just needs to be painted with foliage. Options are also possible here: you can draw it yourself, or you can glue real leaves collected in autumn forest.

Pictures in stamps

A creative solution that will make any drawing unexpected and eye-catching is to draw its elements with stamps.

What is a stamp? This is a piece of base on which the desired design is cut out or secured with improvised means.

Anything can be used as materials for making stamps:

raw potato tubers;
small apples cut in half;
plasticine;
Lego construction elements;
lids from small jars;
matchboxes and threads.

A universal and inexpensive material for making impressions that everyone can find.

Select small tubers, wash and peel them.
Cut the tuber in half. On the resulting surface of the stamp, draw the imprint you want to get, for example, it will be a leaf of a tree.
Use a knife to make cuts that imitate the structure of the leaf. Then dip the finished stamp in paint and make an impression on a previously prepared piece of paper.
To create a finished composition, you can make the necessary blank, for example, an image of a tree branch, the leaves on which can be drawn with the resulting stamp.

Attention: potatoes absorb paint quickly and well, so to obtain prints of different colors, each time you need to use a new stamp (potato tuber).

Stamps on plasticine

One of the kids' favorite ways to create their own stamps. To do this you will need: a piece of thick plasticine and a ballpoint pen (for small parts). For larger details that need to be extruded into the print, it is better to use a pencil with a thick lead.

Making an impression:

We roll a sausage 2-3 cm long from plasticine. Make the bottom of the sausage smooth and even.
We take a ballpoint pen and, pressing deeply inward, place a point in the middle of the base of the print. This will be the core of the flower.
We apply a ballpoint pen to the stamp as follows: with the pointed end towards the center, press well. We make several impressions, forming petals around the core of the flower.
We fill the resulting recesses of the stamp with paint, it is better if they are acrylic paints or gouache. The watercolor will bleed, producing desaturated colors.
We print on paper. The composition can be diversified by making several stamps with different designs.

Apple cards

For this “delicious” painting technique you will need: several small apples, gouache or acrylic paints, two or three sheets of thick colored cardboard.

Cut the apples into halves, dilute a few colors in an additional bowl. In order for the prints to be saturated, do not thin the paints too much. Having dipped the cut side of the apple into the paint, invite your child to make several prints on pieces of colored cardboard.

Don’t let parents be scared by the fact that when children see bright and appetizing prints, they will have a desire to put them on cardboard in incredible quantities. When the prints are dry, the sheets of cardboard can be cut to fit the postcard format, or by cutting out a square with apple prints, stick it on a large piece of cardboard in a contrasting color. The tails of the apples can be painted separately. This makes a wonderful picture for the kitchen!

Thread stamps

This type of creativity attracts children with funny geometric designs, formed as a result of the use of ordinary threads.

The basic materials for this unusual technique are simple and affordable - these are boxes of matches (you only need boxes, no matches), thick threads of wool or synthetic yarn, and paints (all except watercolors).

In order to make a stamp, you need to take a small piece of thread and wrap it around a matchbox. The thread should not be too thin and should fit tightly around the box. We dip the resulting stamp in paint and get a spectacular print with a geometric pattern.

Unusual drawing and natural materials

The most interesting drawing techniques for children are related to natural materials various textures: wood, stone, plant seeds, and, of course, tree foliage.

When we collect leaves in the autumn forest with our children, we sometimes don’t suspect how much space there is for flights of fancy and imagination. unusual drawings hidden in an ordinary dried oak or maple leaf.

Autumn Foliage Drawings

For these works you need any leaves: large and small, elongated and round, green, yellow, with or without cuttings. While walking in the forest, focus children's attention on the variety of shapes and colors of autumn leaves.

Leaf prints

Option one

We take a sheet of not very thick white paper and place it on the table in front of the children. It is better to secure its corners with tape; for this type of work it is important that the sheet does not slide on the table. Lay out three sheets different shapes next to each other and “stamp” each sheet in turn, sketching it with colored wax crayon.

Second option

We “print” with leaves by first applying paint to them. This drawing method looks like this.

Take several large sheets and invite the children to work as autumn wizards. Let them paint one side of each sheet with their own colors - the way they like, in any order. Then have the leaves touch the colored side to a white piece of paper. You will get bright, juicy prints.

This type of work will allow you to create interesting and bright collages on an autumn theme!

Making your own colored paper

Few people know that it is enough to simply create spectacular multi-colored paper at home yourself. As a result of this unusual technique, it will turn out to be a bizarre, unusual color, reminiscent of the pattern of a marble stone.

To create this type of colored paper you will need:

men's shaving foam;
watercolor or acrylic paints;
disposable paper plate for mixing paints;
paper;
a piece of thick cardboard.

Apply an even, dense layer of foam to the plate. Lightly dilute the paints with water; the colors should be rich and bright. Then take a little paint of each color with a brush and “drip” a few drops different shades on a plate with foam in random order.

The next part is the most favorite among children of any age. Taking a cotton swab (you can remove it with a cotton tip) or a toothpick, the child should dilute the colored drops in the foam. As a result, completely bizarre shapes are formed - blots, dots, stains and incredible color combinations.

Then you need to take a sheet of paper and place it flat on the multi-colored foam formed in the plate. Turn the sheet over and place it on the dry side on the table. Now you need to scrape off the remaining foam from the surface of the sheet. To do this, just take a piece of thick cardboard, and holding it vertically, remove excess foam.

A sheet of the resulting colored paper in bright and cheerful colors can be used when it dries.

All of the above variety of works performed by children and adults in unusual techniques drawing, ideal for lessons home creativity, creating drawings using collage techniques and designing family albums using scrapbooking techniques.
