Drawing in art and children's creativity

Word "drawing" replaced Old Church Slavonic words "banner","the Omen", which meant "image creation", And "drawing", "mark", indicating the image technique. Since the 18th century the word "drawing" has become a term denoting image as the creation of an image using lines, features, important for indicating characteristics subject: shape, size, structure, movement, which are conveyed in all types of arts.

Simplicity of techniques drawing lines and the universality of the principles of form construction made drawing the basis of graphics and other types of art. The drawing has distinctive peculiarities:

1) Performed by hand, increases the speed of the image and makes it possible to quickly respond to life events;

2) Done by eye;

3) Visual, conveys the external characteristics of the object;

4) Expresses the internal content of the depicted object, evokes certain thoughts and feelings in the viewer.

In system preschool education great place is given drawing which is important for the all-round development of the child. In progress drawing The child improves his observation skills, aesthetic perception, aesthetic emotions, artistic taste, Creative skills, the ability to independently create beauty using available means.

A child's drawing reflects his view of the world. In a drawing, he can express his impressions of what he saw, convey images of his imagination, embodying them with the help of line and color. When creating a drawing, the child controls his actions by representing the depicted object and evaluates them.

To create a drawing, the child must have

Clear ideas about what he wants draw, and certain skills.

Process observations children's drawings show that children have great difficulty in creating a drawing if they do not have graphic skills. And when they can’t portray what they want, they refuse altogether paint.

The technique of any type of fine art does not exist on its own; it is subordinated to the task of image. The choice of a particular material for creating a drawing is determined by its expressive capabilities. Mastering various materials, ways of working with them, and understanding their expressiveness allows children to use them more effectively when reflecting their impressions of the life around them in drawings. In art, the aesthetic image of humanity is conveyed in the form of images. They are inconceivable without emotions, but experiencing an image always presupposes its comprehension. In relation to preschool children, it would be more correct to talk about an artistic and expressive image, which conveys in the drawing in the unity of experience, understanding of the surrounding world, art, one’s own inner world and displaying your impressions.

Artistic techniques are one of the brightest and most diverse means of expression. With their help, you can model an image, giving it individual features, especially if we're talking about about non-classical techniques based on experimentation with materials. Preschoolers can easily participate in this experiment. Why? The point is that they have not yet formed visual stereotypes that interfere with creative development.

We all know traditional remedies very well. drawing:

Pencil. There are several types pencils:

Lead pencil, colored pencils, art pencil "Retouch", wax pencils, watercolor pencils, automatic collet pencils, sanguine, pastel, wax crayons, felt-tip pen.

Tassels. Paints.

This is the first color that kids are introduced to. Gouache is a material with an admixture of white for drawing, the paint layer is dense, opaque, very thick paint.

Watercolor.

Colorful material intended for watercolor painting. The main property is the transparency of the paint layer; the color depends on the amount of water added to the paint. Basic technique painting with paints - strokes.

Oil paints

Previously, these paints were not painted V preschool institutions, but they always attracted children with their brightness, unusual work technique, smell and original design of the paintings. Due to the specific smell, you can work with paints for no more than 10-15 minutes.

There are also unconventional techniques drawing.

For example, if you add flour or starch paste to gouache, then the drawings made with such gouache will seem voluminous. At drawing Ice cream sticks or hard brushes are used and the paint is applied in large strokes. If you add salt, semolina or sawdust to gouache, the resulting drawing will be grainy.

Pointeism.

The image is made up of many small dots, performed by poking with the end of a hand or a finger.

Stamps or seals.

They use purchased stamps or seals or make them in front of the child from potatoes, carrots, etc. Buttons, cubes, and leaves can be used as stamps.

Drawing with plant branches.

This technique can be used for drawing animal fur.

Using foam rubber.

For coloring items Instead of a brush, you can use foam rubber. This gives the object being painted a velvety surface.

Stainography.

A sheet of paper is folded in half and bright spots are applied to one side. Then the sheet is folded and smoothed, a symmetrical image is obtained, which can then be finish drawing.

Scratching on wet paint.

Strokes or stripes are applied to the image using a stack.

Lightening the tone.

Use a brush or a damp cloth to remove some of the paint to lighten it.

Monotype.

On a smooth surface (stack, plastic board, film) The drawing is made with oil or gouache paint. The material on which the paint is applied must not allow water to pass through. A sheet of paper is placed on top and pressed to the surface. The resulting print is a mirror image and only one, hence the name "monotype". The number of colors in a monotype can be any.

Diatypia.

This technique is usually considered a type of monotype, but there are significant differences. Special roller (for smoothing wallpaper) or use a swab to apply a light layer of paint onto glass or a smooth cardboard surface, place a sheet of paper on top and begin paint. Draw with a pencil or a pointed stick, trying not to press too hard. Then the sheet is removed. On the side that was pressed against the glass, an impression is obtained - a mirror repetition of the design.

Aquatouch or aquatypia.

A mushroom, tree or fruit is drawn on a thick sheet of paper. When the gouache dries, the entire drawing is covered with black ink. When the ink dries, the drawing is lowered into a bath of water. In water, the gouache is washed off from the paper, and the ink is only partially washed off. Remains on a black background white drawing with slightly blurred contours.

A method of highlighting a design by scratching paper or cardboard covered in ink with a pen or a sharp instrument; another name for the technique is the scratching technique.

Blotography

A few drops of paint are applied to a white or tinted sheet of paper with a pipette and, using tubes or empty pens, the edges of the blots are inflated, which take on bizarre shapes.

Printing is a cliché

Cardboard is glued onto a smooth wooden block, and onto it - patterns, which can be made not only from paper, but also from rope. Paint is applied to the designs and they are stamped onto paper or fabric.

Flora print

Flowers and plant branches collected during a walk are dried between the pages of books. Then these elements are smeared with gouache and placed on a clean sheet of paper. Cover with another sheet on top and press tightly.

Drawing in pairs

This is a smooth transition to collective drawing. A sheet of paper is divided in half, each draws on its part. Paint Can be different or one story. If this is a plot, then we need to learn to negotiate with each other.

Drawing with thread

Take a piece of cardboard 25x25cm and fold it in half, dip the woolen thread in thick paint. The thread is chaotically folded into unbent cardboard, which is then bent in half and pressed down with one hand, while the thread is slowly pulled out with the other. The result is a chaotic image, which can then be finish drawing.

Magic drawing

A drawing is made on paper using a sharpened wax candle. Then paint is applied to the entire image using foam rubber or cotton wool. The paint is applied to the wax, so the design appears unexpectedly before the child’s eyes. Instead of a candle, you can use laundry soap.

Nitcography

You need a sheet of velvet paper and multi-colored woolen threads, from which you can make multi-colored patterns.

Drawing on wet paper

Certain stories are better do not draw on dry paper, and on a wet one, if these are topics related to rain or fog, or maybe someone’s dream. Image blur "in the wet" will give the desired effect.

Drawing on pebbles

Children love to play with flat, round stones. And if you look at the brooch - a cameo, and then draw something similar on the pebble.

Finger painting.

Who said, that paint Can I use a brush or a pencil? What if your finger reaches out to paint? It’s good to put dots with your finger, filling drawn outline.

When conducting classes using unconventional drawing techniques, we should not forget that the child is a subject of creativity.

And I would like to end with the words of Pablo Picasso “Every child is an artist. The difficulty is to remain an artist beyond childhood."

Carrying out master class . Division by three groups:

One of the main activities of children attending a preschool educational institution (kindergarten) in all age groups is drawing. And in order to arouse interest in this type of activity and promote the development creative potential for a child, it is recommended to use unconventional drawing methods.

Thanks to the imagination of educators, more and more new types of non-traditional drawing techniques are emerging that can be used for children in preschool educational institutions.

Unconventional drawing in the younger group

Since children of primary preschool age are just beginning to get acquainted with unconventional drawing, it is better to begin introducing them to the most simple techniques: hand drawing and stamping.

For such activities you will need: white paper, brushes, paints (gouache or finger paint), a cloth or napkin for wiping your hands. The essence of this kind of drawing is that using your hand and its parts instead of a brush, leaving imprints with them, you can get interesting drawings: a fence, a sun, a hedgehog, or you can simply print with your finger.

Working with a stamp

Children love to stamp something, so they happily print the outline of the desired figure. If desired, you can then add the necessary details inside these figures.

Unconventional drawing in the middle group

During this period, children continue to draw with their hands, become familiar with drawing and printing with various objects (leaves, cotton swabs, threads, etc.), and the technique of poking with a hard brush.

Printing

Can be used: foam rubber, crumpled paper, polystyrene foam, leaves, cotton buds and much more.

You will need: an object that leaves the desired imprint, a bowl, gouache, a thin foam rubber stamp pad, white paper.

Drawing technique: children's drawings are obtained by pressing an object onto a pad soaked in paint and then making an imprint on white paper. To change the color, wipe the stamp and change the paint bowl.

Nitcography

You will need: thread, brush, bowl, gouache paints, white paper.

The drawing technique is very simple: the child folds a sheet of paper in half, then applies the selected color to a thread, places it on one side of the paper, and covers the other side on top, then irons it well and quickly pulls out the thread. When the sheet opens, there is some kind of image that can be completed to the intended image.

Poking technique with a hard brush

You will need: a hard brush, gouache paint, a white sheet with an outline drawn in pencil.

Drawing technique: children make pokes from left to right along the contour line of the drawing with a brush and paint, leaving no white space between them. Children paint inside the resulting outline with the same pokes made in random order. If necessary, the design can be completed with a thin brush.

Non-traditional drawing in the senior group

In the older group, children become familiar with more complex techniques: drawing with sand, soap bubbles, blotography, stencil printing, monotype, plasticineography, mixing watercolors with wax crayons or a candle, spraying.

Drawing with watercolors on a candle or wax crayons

You will need: wax crayons or a candle, thick white paper, watercolors, brushes.

Drawing technique: children first draw with wax crayons or a candle on a white sheet, and then paint over it all with watercolors. A drawing drawn with crayons or a candle will remain white.

Monotype

You will need: white paper, brushes, paints (gouache or watercolor).

Drawing technique: children fold a white sheet in half, draw half of a given object on one side, and then fold the sheet again and iron it well so that the paint that has not yet dried is imprinted on the second half of the sheet.

Blotography

You will need: liquid paint (watercolor or gouache), brush, white paper.

Drawing technique: a child, having collected paint on a brush, drops it from a certain height onto the middle of the sheet, then tilts the paper in different directions or blows on the resulting drop. Fantasy will then tell you who the resulting blot resembles.

Relevance of use unconventional drawing in kindergarten is that such drawing evokes only positive emotions in children, since children are not afraid to make mistakes, become more confident in their abilities and they have a desire to draw.

From work experience. Unconventional methods of drawing in kindergarten with children of senior preschool age.

This material will introduce teachers to a variety of ways and techniques of working with gouache, watercolors, charcoal, sanguine, pastel and other materials, as well as their combination.
Experience working with children in kindergarten has shown that drawing in unusual ways and using materials that surround us in Everyday life, evoke positive emotions in children. Drawing captivates children, and especially non-traditional drawing; children with a great desire to draw, create and compose something new themselves. By drawing in unconventional ways, children are not afraid to make mistakes, since everything can be easily corrected, and something new can easily be invented from a mistake, and the child gains self-confidence, overcomes the “fear of a blank sheet of paper” and begins to feel like a little artist. He develops an interest and desire to draw. You can draw with anything, anywhere, and however you want! The variety of materials poses new challenges and forces you to always come up with something!

"Monotype"

Theme: "Butterfly"
Means of expression: spot, color, symmetry.
Material: paint, brush, paper
Progress:
Fold a piece of paper in half. On one side, closer to the center, apply several bright colored spots with a brush. Now quickly fold the sheet along the same fold and iron it thoroughly with your palm. Open it and take a closer look: what happened? Fairytale flowers? No, this is a beautiful butterfly!

"Monotype" + "Splash"

Topic: “Winter landscapes”, “Palace for the Snow Queen”
Means of expression: point, texture.
Material: old toothbrushes, gouache, paper, herbarium, silhouettes.
Progress:
A little paint is collected on the tip of the brush. Tilt the brush over a sheet of paper and run the cardboard or comb over the pile. The splashes will scatter across clean slate. This is how you can depict the starry sky and fireworks. You can also cut out any silhouette and place it on a piece of paper and spray paint. Then remove the silhouette and you will be left with a trace; you can supplement it by painting on the missing lines with a brush.

“Monotype” + “Applique”

Topic: “Seabed”


"Drawing on the wet"

Topic: “Seasons”
Means of expression: color, line, spot.
Materials: wet wipe, container with water, paints, brushes, watercolor crayons.
Progress:
First way:
Wet the paper and place it on a damp cloth (to prevent the paper from drying out). Take a watercolor chalk and draw whatever you want.
Second way:
If not watercolor pencils, you can paint with paints and a brush.

"Drawing on the raw" with further drawing of details.

“Drawing on the wet” + sanguine

Topic: “Seasons”

“Drawing on the wet” + pastel

Subject: " gold fish»

"Crumpled paper"

Theme: “Autumn Leaves”
Surface aging effect.
Materials: paper, paints, brushes, plates.
Progress:
First way:
Crumple a clean sheet of paper with your hands and smooth it out. Draw the intended drawing. This technique is interesting because in the places where the paper is folded, the paint becomes more intense and dark when painted - this is called the mosaic effect.
Second way:
Crumple up a piece of paper and dip it in wet paint, then apply the design by dabbing. This method can be used for the background, or to complete the work - flowers, tree crown, snowdrifts, and so on.

"Scratch"

Theme: “Night”, “Space”, “Winter”, “Seabed”
Material: Candle, black gouache, shampoo, pointed stick.
Progress.
Let's apply a colored background with watercolors or take colored cardboard or plain white paper. Rub the entire background with wax and paraffin. Pour black or colored gouache into the outlet, add a little shampoo and mix thoroughly. Then we cover the paraffin sheet with this mixture, the workpiece is ready. Now let’s take a pointed stick and start scratching the design.

“Poke with a hard semi-dry brush”

Topic: “Animals, clouds, flowers, trees, landscapes”
Means of expression: texture of color, color.
Materials: hard brush, gouache, paper of any color and format, or a cut out silhouette of a furry or prickly animal.
On a dry, hard brush, pick up just a little bit of gouache. desired color and, holding the brush vertically (the brush taps with the “heel”), we make “pokes” on top, placing them inside and along the edges of the animal’s silhouette. When the paint dries, use the tip of a soft brush to paint the animal’s eyes, nose, mouth, mustache and other characteristic details.

"Graphic arts"

Material: Black paper, sheets of white paper, white and black gouache.
Progress.
First way:
Monochrome technique. Apply the image with white gouache on a black background (note: it is necessary to show a sense of proportion). Castles, landscapes, and miniature paintings look expressive in this way. Preliminary sketches can be done in pencil. The mistake can be safely retouched with gouache or black ink, choosing the desired shade.
Second way:
Polychrome technique. They work with white gouache on a black background. The white tone will add freshness and brightness. In exceptional cases, for example when painting easter eggs, spinning wheels, let's say a colored background.

Drawing with gouache with the addition of white

Theme: “Still Life”, “Landscape”, “Abstraction”.
Adding white to different paint colors produces lighter shades of the original color. The resulting color sensations are tenderness, lightness, airiness.

Painting with gouache and black paint

Theme: “Night landscape”, “Dense forest”.
When mixing paints with black, we get dark tones. Color sensations: heaviness, anxiety, mystery.

The art of depicting is not based on tradition.


My work involves using unconventional painting techniques. Drawing in unconventional ways is a fun, mesmerizing activity that surprises and delights children. The developing environment plays an important role in the development of a child. Therefore, when organizing a subject-development environment, I took into account that the content was developmental in nature and was aimed at developing the creativity of each child in accordance with his/her Unconventional drawing

Conducting classes using non-traditional techniques

  • Helps relieve children's fears;
  • Develops self-confidence;
  • Develops spatial thinking;
  • Teaches children to freely express their ideas;
  • Encourages children to creative searches and solutions;
  • Teaches children to work with a variety of materials;
  • Develops a sense of composition, rhythm, color, color perception; a sense of texture and volume;
  • Develops fine motor skills of the hands;
  • Develops creativity, imagination and flight of fancy.
  • While working, children receive aesthetic pleasure.





Having met methodological literature various authors, such as the manual by A.V. Nikitina “Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten”, I.A. Lykova - “ Toolkit for preschool specialists educational institutions", T.N. Doronova - “Nature, art and visual activity of children” by R.G. Kazakova “Visual activities in kindergarten” I found a lot interesting ideas and set itself the following tasks:

  • To develop technical drawing skills in children.
  • Introduce children to various non-traditional drawing techniques.
  • Learn to create your own unique image using non-traditional drawings using various drawing techniques.
  • To introduce preschoolers to unconventional drawing.




There are many non-traditional drawing techniques; their unusualness lies in the fact that they allow children to quickly achieve the desired result. For example, what child would not be interested in drawing with his fingers, making a drawing with his own palm, putting blots on paper and getting a funny drawing. The child loves to quickly achieve results in his work.

Blotography.




Finger painting.
Palm drawing.

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 and color schemes.

Drawing yourself or drawing your favorite toys from life.


Rolling the paper.
“I draw mom”...
Imprint with crumpled paper.
Wax crayons + watercolor.
Candle + watercolor.
Bitmap.
Spray
Leaf prints.

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 a 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
.
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 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.

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 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. No need to worry if

Painting small pebbles.
Nitography method.
Monotype method.
Drawing on wet paper.
Fabric images.
Volume applique.
Drawing using postcards.
Learning to make a background.
Collage.
Visual activities using non-traditional materials and techniques contribute to the child’s development of:

  • Fine motor skills and tactile perception;
  • Spatial orientation on a sheet of paper, eye and visual perception;
  • Attention and perseverance;
  • Visual skills and abilities, observation, aesthetic perception, emotional responsiveness;
  • In addition, in the process of this activity, the preschooler develops control and self-control skills.

The creative process is a real miracle. Watch children discover their unique abilities and the joy that creation brings them. Here they begin to feel the benefits of creativity and believe that mistakes are just steps towards achieving a goal, and not an obstacle, both in creativity and in all aspects of their lives. It is better to instill in children:
In many ways, the result of a child’s work depends on his interest, so during the lesson it is important to intensify the preschooler’s attention and motivate him to activity with the help of additional incentives. Such incentives could be:

  • play, which is the main activity of children;
  • a surprise moment - a favorite fairy tale or cartoon character comes to visit and invites the child to go on a trip;
  • asking for help, because children will never refuse to help the weak, it is important for them to feel significant;
  • musical accompaniment. Etc.
  • finger painting;
  • stamped with potato stamps;
  • palm painting.
  • poke with a hard semi-dry brush.
  • foam printing;
  • cork printing;
  • wax crayons + watercolor;
  • candle + watercolor;
  • leaf prints;
  • palm drawings;
  • drawing with cotton swabs;
  • magic ropes.
  • sand painting;
  • drawing with soap bubbles;
  • drawing with crumpled paper;
  • blotography with a tube;
  • landscape monotype;
  • stencil printing;
  • subject monotype;
  • ordinary blotography;
  • plasticineography.

« Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten and their role in the development of preschool children"

The art of depicting is not based on tradition.

From a very early age, children try to reflect their impressions of the world around them in their visual arts.
My work involves using unconventional painting techniques. Drawing in unconventional ways is a fun, mesmerizing activity that surprises and delights children. The developing environment plays an important role in the development of a child. Therefore, when organizing a subject-development environment, I took into account that the content was developmental in nature and was aimed at developing the creativity of each child in accordance with his/herUnconventional drawing
individual capabilities, accessible and appropriate to the age characteristics of children. There are so many unnecessary interesting things at home (toothbrush, combs, foam rubber, corks, polystyrene foam, spool of thread, candles, etc.). We went out for a walk, take a closer look, and see how many interesting things there are: sticks, cones, leaves, pebbles, plant seeds, dandelion fluff, thistle, poplar. All these items enriched the corner of productive activity. Unusual materials and original techniques attract children because the word “No” is not present here, you can draw with whatever you want and how you want, and you can even come up with your own unusual technique. Children feel unforgettable, positive emotions, and by emotions one can judge the child’s mood, what makes him happy, what makes him sad.
Conducting classes using non-traditional techniques

  • Helps relieve children's fears;
  • Develops self-confidence;
  • Develops spatial thinking;
  • Teaches children to freely express their ideas;
  • Encourages children to creative searches and solutions;
  • Teaches children to work with a variety of materials;
  • Develops a sense of composition, rhythm, color, color perception; a sense of texture and volume;
  • Develops fine motor skills of the hands;
  • Develops creativity, imagination and flight of fancy.
  • While working, children receive aesthetic pleasure.

After analyzing the drawings of preschoolers, I came to the conclusion that it is necessary to facilitate drawing skills, because not even every adult will be able to depict any object. This can greatly increase preschoolers’ interest in drawing. There are many non-traditional drawing techniques; their unusualness lies in the fact that they allow children to quickly achieve the desired result.
Participation in the city methodological association " Young artist”, prompted me to think: “Shouldn’t I try to practice unconventional drawing techniques in drawing classes?”
Made up long-term plan works for each age group, wrote lesson notes for children of different preschool ages. And I chose the topic for self-education “Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten.”
The success of teaching non-traditional techniques largely depends on what methods and techniques the teacher uses to convey certain content to children and develop their knowledge, skills, and abilities.
Having become acquainted with the methodological literature of various authors, such as the manual by A.V. Nikitina “Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten”, I.A. Lykova - “Methodological manual for specialists of preschool educational institutions”, T.N. Doronova - “Nature, art and visual activity of children” by R.G. Kazakova “Visual activities in kindergarten” I found a lot of interesting ideas and set myself the following tasks:

  • To develop technical drawing skills in children.
  • Introduce children to various non-traditional drawing techniques.
  • Learn to create your own unique image using non-traditional drawings using various drawing techniques.
  • To introduce preschoolers to unconventional drawing.

The diagnostic results showed that high level mastering the program in the section “Children in the world” fiction fine arts" increased by 25%.
Experience has shown that mastering non-traditional image techniques brings true joy to preschoolers if it is built taking into account the specifics of the children’s activity and age. They are happy to draw different patterns without experiencing any difficulties. Children boldly take on art materials, kids are not afraid of their diversity and the prospect of independent choice. They take great pleasure in the process of doing it. Children are ready to repeat this or that action many times. And the better the movement turns out, the more pleasure they repeat it, as if demonstrating their success, and rejoice, attracting the attention of an adult to their achievements.
While working, I encountered a problem: children are afraid to draw, because, as it seems to them, they don’t know how, and they won’t succeed.
This is especially noticeable in the middle group, where children’s visual arts skills are still poorly developed and form-building movements are not sufficiently formed. Children lack self-confidence, imagination, and independence. An incentive to encourage children to be active, to make them believe that they can very easily become little artists and create miracles on paper. And I managed to find what I needed. I took advantage of the experience of my colleagues in teaching children to draw. And later she reworked it and made her own adjustments.
I plan to hold a “Weekend Day” to interest parents in the technique of unconventional drawing.
There are many non-traditional drawing techniques; their unusualness lies in the fact that they allow children to quickly achieve the desired result. For example, what child would not be interested in drawing with his fingers, making a drawing with his own palm, putting blots on paper and getting a funny drawing. The child loves to quickly achieve results in his work.

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 (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 story.
Poking with a hard, semi-dry brush.
Means of expression: texture of color, color. Materials: hard brush, gouache, paper of any color and format, or a cut out silhouette of a furry or prickly animal. Method of obtaining an image: the child dips a brush into the gouache and hits the paper with it, holding it vertically. When working, the brush does not fall into the water. In this way, the entire sheet, outline or template is filled. The result is an imitation of the texture of a fluffy or prickly surface.
Finger painting.
Means of expression: spot, dot, short line, color. Materials: bowls with gouache, thick paper of any color, small sheets, napkins. Method of obtaining an image: the child dips his finger in the gouache and puts dots and specks on the paper. Each finger is painted with a different color. After work, wipe your fingers with a napkin, then the gouache is easily washed off.
Palm drawing.
Means of expression: spot, color, fantastic silhouette. Materials: wide saucers with gouache, brush, thick paper of any color, large format sheets, napkins. Method of obtaining an image: a child dips his palm (the entire brush) into gouache or paints it with a brush (from the age of 5) and makes an imprint on paper. They draw with both the right and left hands, painted in different colors. After work, wipe your hands with a napkin, then the gouache is easily washed off.
Drawing with a secret in three pairs of hands.
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 and color schemes.

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 departs 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 today new car! You probably want one?” But at the end of such a drawing it is important to ask: “How is the drawn car different from this one?”
Rolling the paper.
Means of expression: texture, volume. Materials: napkins or colored double-sided paper, PVA glue poured into a saucer, thick paper or colored cardboard for the base. Method of obtaining an image: the child crumples the paper in his hands until it becomes soft. Then he rolls it into a ball. Its sizes can be different: from small (berry) to large (cloud, lump for a snowman). After this, the paper ball is dipped in glue and glued to the base.
“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 being held: “What is Grandma Valya like? What kind of hair does she have? Hairstyle? Favorite dress? Smile?” And the process of co-creation begins. After a while, you can offer to draw the girlfriends from memory. When enough drawings depicting relatives and friends have been collected, we recommend organizing a mini-exhibition “My Relatives and Friends,” where the first portraits of a preschooler are appreciated.
Imprint with crumpled paper.
Means of expression: stain, texture, color. Materials: saucer or plastic box containing a stamp pad made of thin foam rubber impregnated with gouache, thick paper of any color and size, crumpled paper. Method of obtaining an image: a child presses crumpled paper onto a stamp pad with paint and makes an impression on the paper. To get a different color, both the saucer and the crumpled paper are changed.
Wax crayons + watercolor.
Means of expression: color, line, spot, texture. Materials: wax crayons, thick white paper, watercolor, brushes. Method of obtaining an image: the child draws with wax crayons on white paper. Then he paints the sheet with watercolors in one or more colors. The chalk drawing remains unpainted.
Candle + watercolor.
Means of expression: color, line, spot, texture. Materials: candle, thick paper, watercolor, brushes. Method of obtaining an image: a child draws on paper with a candle. Then he paints the sheet with watercolors in one or more colors. The candle pattern remains white.
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 thing to do is dotted drawings 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 drawing dots is the same. The main thing is to immediately interest the child.
Spray
Means of expression: point, texture. Materials: paper, gouache, hard brush, piece of thick cardboard or plastic (5x5 cm). Method of obtaining an image: the child picks up paint on a brush and hits the brush on the cardboard, which he holds above the paper. Then he paints the sheet with watercolors in one or more colors. Paint splashes onto the paper.
Leaf prints.
Means of expression: texture, color. Materials: paper, gouache, leaves different trees(preferably fallen ones), brushes. Method of obtaining an image: a child covers a piece of wood with paints of different colors, then applies it with the painted side to the paper to make a print. Each time a new leaf is taken. The petioles of the leaves can be painted on with a brush.
Conducting a series of classes using a variety of techniques to identify children’s abilities over the course of time, it is clear that children have the ability to work with paints using non-traditional techniques. In children with poorly developed artistic and creative abilities, the indicators are slightly higher than at the beginning of the school year, but due to the use of non-traditional materials, the level of enthusiasm for the topic and technique and the ability to perceive color have improved.
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 wool blend or wool thread about 30 cm long, 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.
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 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.

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. No need to worry if

Painting small pebbles.
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.
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 prepare 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. 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 Dreamed", "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 it in 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 using 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. Can a three-, four-, or even five-year-old child draw a dog and a beetle? No. But he will add sun and rain to the dog and the bug and will 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: 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 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); paint dirty water, old tea leaves, coffee grounds, berry juice. It is also useful to color cans and bottles, spools and boxes, etc.
Visual activities using non-traditional materials and techniques contribute to the child’s development of:

  • Fine motor skills and tactile perception;
  • Spatial orientation on a sheet of paper, eye and visual perception;
  • Attention and perseverance;
  • Fine skills and abilities, observation, aesthetic perception, emotional responsiveness;
  • In addition, in the process of this activity, the preschooler develops control and self-control skills.

The creative process is a real miracle. Watch children discover their unique abilities and the joy that creation brings them. Here they begin to feel the benefits of creativity and believe that mistakes are just steps towards achieving a goal, and not an obstacle, both in creativity and in all aspects of their lives. It is better to instill in children:"In creativity there is no the right way, No the wrong way"There is only your own way"
In many ways, the result of a child’s work depends on his interest, so during the lesson it is important to intensify the preschooler’s attention and motivate him to activity with the help of additional incentives. Such incentives could be:

  • play, which is the main activity of children;
  • a surprise moment - a favorite fairy tale or cartoon character comes to visit and invites the child to go on a trip;
  • asking for help, because children will never refuse to help the weak, it is important for them to feel significant;
  • musical accompaniment. Etc.

In addition, it is advisable to vividly and emotionally explain to the children the methods of action and show depiction techniques.
With children of primary preschool age it is recommended to use:

  • finger painting;
  • stamped with potato stamps;
  • palm painting.

Children of middle preschool age can be introduced to more complex techniques:

  • poke with a hard semi-dry brush.
  • foam printing;
  • cork printing;
  • wax crayons + watercolor;
  • candle + watercolor;
  • leaf prints;
  • palm drawings;
  • drawing with cotton swabs;
  • magic ropes.

And in the older preschool age children can master even more difficult methods and techniques:

  • sand painting;
  • drawing with soap bubbles;
  • drawing with crumpled paper;
  • blotography with a tube;
  • landscape monotype;
  • stencil printing;
  • subject monotype;
  • ordinary blotography;
  • plasticineography.

Each of these techniques is a little game. Their use allows children to feel more relaxed, bolder, more spontaneous, develops imagination, and gives complete freedom for self-expression.
Imitation game.
Summary of a lesson on visual activities in non-traditional drawing techniques for the senior group on the topic:“Magic flowers”.
The lesson is conducted in one stage.
Tasks: Using non-traditional drawing techniques, develop in children a strong interest in visual arts. Develop the ability to independently choose the color scheme of paints that matches the joyful summer mood. Develop color perception, improve fine motor skills of fingers and hands. Arouse a positive response to the results of your creativity.
Equipment: woolen threads, album sheet, watercolor paints or gouache, brushes, one pencil for each child, containers of water for each table, wet cloth napkins for hands.
Vocabulary work:multi-colored summer, red, green, yellow, orange, blue, magical flowers, rustling (pencil), ball.
GCD move: through a short conversation about summer, create a joyful, positive mood in children for the upcoming drawing lesson.
- Guys, what color is summer? (Children list the bright colors inherent in a warm, sunny summer)
- What kind of flowers do you know? (Chamomile, petunia, roses, etc.)
Let us today remember the warm summer, although you are already looking forward to winter, and draw those very beautiful flowers that we saw on our site.
- Do you want to draw them? Then take your seats at the tables and please guess the riddle:
If you sharpen it,
You can draw whatever you want;
Sun, mountains, pine trees, beach,
What is this? (pencil).
- That's right, guys! What else can you draw with? (Felt pens, chalk, brushes and paints)
- What helps us draw with all these and other objects? (With the help of leading questions, if the children do not answer immediately, get the correct answer - hand and fingers).
- Tell me, in order to be prepared for a long one, have an interesting day, feel energetic and cheerful, what do we do in the morning? What are we doing? (charging).
- Right! So, in order for us to start drawing, we need to prepare our fingers for work. Let's play with them.
Finger game “Five and Five”.

(Repeat exercise 2 times)
- Well done! Now take the pencil in both hands between your palms, pinch it and roll it. Bring it to your right ear (to your left ear).
- What do you hear?
- What sound does a pencil make? (He rustles)
- That's right, he rustles. Rub another pencil between your palms and listen.
Now put the pencil down and touch your palms. What have they become? Place them on your cheeks and forehead. What do you feel? (Palms became warm)
- Right! Now your hands and fingers are ready to draw. Today I offer you an unusual way of drawing. You've never drawn like this before. Want to try and learn? It's called "nitcography".
(I show a drawing technique)
- I take the thread, and now roll the thread onto the sheet so that it turns out to be a ball. Now you need to dip the thread into the chosen paint, holding the end of the thread and carefully using a brush to help roll the thread onto a piece of paper, as you did with dry thread. I point the end of the dry thread downwards, holding it in right hand, and with the palm of my left hand, lightly pressing down on the ball, slowly pull the thread out from under your palm. Magic has happened!
Want to try it yourself? First, wake up your beauties, but not all of them, but only those that are suitable for summer.
- Try it, and let’s see if you can create magic? I'm sure it will work! (Children do the work)
As the children complete the task, I admire the ones they have chosen. bright colors and a successful manifestation of their magical skills, and while they dry out, turn into flowers themselves and play a little.
Physical exercise “Flowers”

(Repeat the exercise 2–3 times)
- Guys, while we were resting, our painted in an unusual way the flowers have dried up, and we can finish drawing them, draw leaves for them (Children finish the work, and while the work dries, we wipe our hands and tables with wet wipes, put things in order in the workplace)
- Well, your flowers are completely ready and you can give them to your mothers!
Modeling.
Listeners are divided into groups. They were asked to make notes using unconventional drawing methods.

Reflection.
Discussion on the results of joint activities.

There lives an artist and poet in each of us, but we don’t even know about it, or rather, we have forgotten. Remember the parable of the “buried talents”. But indeed, many “bury” their talent in the ground, unable to reveal themselves. This is how “undiscovered talents” walk the streets and live everyday lives. It’s just that no one paid attention to the inclinations and abilities in childhood. You need to remember a simple rule - there are no untalented children, there are undiscovered children. And we, adults, must help reveal these talents!
As V.A. said Sukhomlinsky:“The origins of children’s abilities and talents are at their fingertips. From the fingers, figuratively speaking, come the finest threads-rivulets, which are fed by the source of creative thought. In other words, the more skill in a child’s hand, the smarter the child.”


In the formation of a child’s personality, it is very great importance has drawing. It brings invaluable benefits and develops both the intellectual abilities of children and their thinking. After all, when children draw, not only visual but also motor analyzers are involved in the work, which perfectly develops fine motor skills and memory.

In addition, when drawing, a child learns to imagine and compose, think and compare. At the same time, his stock of knowledge develops gradually, which is very good in childhood.

Drawing develops creativity

Drawing classes in kindergarten are loved by all children. Toddlers clumsily try to imitate what they see from a very early age. To develop this desire, you can give your child a soft sponge for up to a year, with which he will first play, and then, with the help of adults, lower it into a saucer of paint and move it over the paper, observing the result. After some time, the baby will begin to perform this operation independently.

When the child goes to kindergarten, his drawings will no longer be solid blots. By toddler age, children can hold a pencil and a brush. It’s too early to talk about the drawing process itself, but by manipulating these objects, the baby leaves random strokes, dots and lines on the paper. This attracts him very much.

At the same age, you can begin to use the simplest techniques of non-traditional drawing, for example, dip your hand clenched into a fist in a saucer of paint and leave a mark on the paper. You will get the caterpillar that the kids saw on their walk.

What do drawing classes provide in preschool institutions?

Non-traditional fine art techniques used in kindergarten help children, who are not yet able to fully master pencils and brushes, not only perceive the world around them, but also convey it through drawing. Everything that the children saw during their walk is very simply depicted on paper using available materials. This develops imagination well.

Leaves that have fallen from trees in the fall will help depict a yard filled with leaves. You just need to put them in a saucer with paint and attach them to the paper. And a palm print can be compared to animal tracks left in the snow.

Drawing classes develop children's imagination well and provide an opportunity for creativity and inspiration, as well as a sense of beauty. At the same time, the child’s personality receives harmonious development.

Unconventional drawing. Why is it needed?

The use of non-traditional drawing techniques makes it possible to develop artistic rather than stereotyped thinking in children. Even, rather, artistic and figurative, which is directly related to creative abilities and observation, as well as spiritual qualities.

And it doesn’t matter how well a child knows drawing techniques, because the main thing here will be to teach kids to put their thoughts and feelings on paper, and to convey their mood with the help of various paints.

Artistic thinking develops well when children use paints and improvised means to depict a fairy tale on sheets of paper. This form of classes can be not only individual, but also group. To do this, each child should be asked to depict their understanding of the plot on a certain section of a common Whatman paper. After everything is ready, the children are happy to make additions to the drawing, thereby inventing a continuation of the fairy tale.

Unconventional techniques used for drawing with children

In such an interesting and complex process as drawing for children, the best thing to do is to use various techniques. They all instill love for fine arts. Unconventional drawing techniques in kindergarten deserve great attention, as they give children room for imagination.

They are introduced from a very early age, but at first, while the child learns to think figuratively and act correctly with his hands, an adult must take a direct part in this process. They are attractive for kids because they can achieve the desired result very quickly.

The good thing about this form of development is that it is very interesting for any child. Children are always attracted to drawing with their fingers and the whole palm, as well as turning ordinary blots into very funny figures.

Non-traditional materials and techniques that are used in visual arts contribute to the child’s development not only imaginative thinking, but also self-control, perseverance, attention, visual perception and spatial orientation, tactile and aesthetic perception, as well as fine motor skills hands

By doing this kind of work, children also learn to fantasize and put their feelings on paper through different colors.

Finger painting as one of the options for non-traditional depiction of objects

When non-traditional drawing techniques are used in kindergarten or at home, the best option It can be drawing with your fingers or your entire palm.

This technique can be used even while the baby is still small. Finger painting has proven itself very well. This method does not require a brush; all you need is gouache paints poured into small containers and a bowl of water for washing your hands.

When using this method, the child’s imagination develops very well. After all, with fingertips dipped in paint, you can depict flowers as a gift for mom, New Year’s confetti, and various patterns on a dress. And by drawing lines on paper with your fingers, you can get more complex objects.

Before you start imagining with your baby, you should try the prints on a separate sheet various parts palms to see what they look like. When changing hands, all prints will bend in different directions. This type of painting gives children the opportunity to come up with and depict an entire plot on paper and makes them think figuratively.

Middle group of kindergarten. Drawing and its features

IN children's team Various activities are popular. Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten are interesting not only for children, but also for children of both the middle and older groups. They already have acquired skills, so educators can begin to use outlining gestures. The child listens to the adult’s story, watches how he shows what was said with gestures, and strives to reproduce the image he has developed on the sheet of paper.

But still, at this age one cannot do without visual nature. Words and gestures alone may not be enough to create a certain image. Therefore, the best thing will be when a child has nature in front of his eyes, helping to create a correct perception of the object or plot being described, and to revive children’s ideas about it. This could be a toy, a picture or a drawing by an adult.

In addition, you need to put several types of improvised objects in front of the children. They may be required to create the image. This will provide an opportunity for choice, as well as the ability to compare and fantasize.

How to draw seasons using unconventional techniques

Any walk with children provides an opportunity to reproduce what they saw using an unconventional method. Such a wonderful time of year as winter allows you to show a lot of imagination in order to depict what you want on paper.

When non-traditional painting techniques are used, winter can be painted using pieces of cotton wool or foam to represent snow, as well as small glitter to symbolize its shine.

Drawing with the help of improvised means is much more interesting, because you need to use associative perception and learn to compare. With this technique, the process of how snow falls can be shown by splashing paint, and you can also use all kinds of materials that evoke an association with a given plot. Non-traditional drawing techniques with children provide very great opportunities for developing their imagination.

What materials are used for unconventional drawing?

Classes on non-traditional drawing techniques are conducted using available materials. You also need to pay attention to the child’s preferences when choosing tools for making drawings. Colors, their shades, methods of application on paper are filled with the baby’s worldview and can tell a lot about him.

When used in class unusual material, children develop creative abilities and personal spirit. Every child gets the opportunity to feel unforgettable emotions and reflect their impressions and mood on paper.

Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten involve the use of improvised materials such as tree foliage, semolina and salt, plasticine, wax, sand, and thread. And tools that replace brushes and pencils can be fingers, toothbrushes and foam rubber. Waste items, such as corks, old buttons, and beads, can also be used as visual material.

Existing types of non-traditional fine arts

The method of drawing in kindergarten in non-traditional ways involves the use various techniques. The most common of them are linotherapy, performed using threads that are dyed in different colors, splashing paints with a toothbrush and blotography. Children also really enjoy drawing on wet or crumpled paper, balloons and fabric.

Drawings drawn by children are best framed and hung. Any child will be pleased that the subject of his creativity is admired. This raises the baby's self-esteem.
