Drawing is a favorite activity for many kids! Some children may not get up from the table for hours, drawing their masterpieces. But very often they come to us, parents, asking us to draw something. For example, a cat or a dog, or even worse - a cow, a giraffe... And then we begin to use all our knowledge and skills, remember how we were taught at school, puff, try and portray the next something, a little like an animal... But to understand who is it: a cat, a dog or a hippopotamus, almost impossible...
We invite you not to be discouraged, but to use the diagrams we have selected and learn to draw with us. With these detailed diagrams and lessons, you can easily and simply draw a wonderful cat, bunny, pig, kitten, dog and other animals in a few seconds. We think your baby will be very happy with these drawings. Imagine with what pleasure he will color these images. Obviously with more than the usual printed coloring pages.
Believe me, once you draw an animal according to this diagram several times, you will remember it and will continue to do it from memory. You can draw animals for your child not only at home, looking at the diagram, but also, for example, on the street on the asphalt.
Learn to draw animals. We wish you pleasant creativity!
It's been a while since I wrote anything on the blog. And there are reasons for this, of course. Firstly, we began to be very active in our workshop: we make wooden toys, children's decor, sometimes furniture, and of course, we do all the organizational matters. It takes a lot of energy and almost all the inspiration. Secondly, our girls have grown up and don’t really fit into the format anymore theme weeks, since most of the day they are in kindergarten, where they study, play and communicate with children a lot. After gardening, you want to play with indoor toys, draw, take a walk, read fairy tales, watch movies with the whole family, or bake cookies. Thirdly, we are going to school soon, but not a regular one, but a small and private one, which we organize ourselves;) We open in a month. If you are interested, you can read about our school using the link (text in Ukrainian). And this school takes away the remaining inspiration and strength.
So, lesson 1. Aerial perspective.
If you are not an artist at all, don’t be scared :) In fact, all this is very simple, interesting and fascinating, but like everything in the world, it has its own terminology, but the terms almost always sound scary (at least for me).
So what is “aerial perspective”?
This is when you look into the distance and what is closer to the horizon seems lighter, and what is closer to you has more saturated colors.
From the dictionary:
Aerial perspective – Blurring or loss of clarity of distant objects caused by the atmosphere. The effect occurs due to the disappearance of color and brightness contrast between distant objects and the background.
Here are examples of aerial perspective:
To explain to a child what aerial perspective is, it is enough to show examples and draw his attention to those objects that are far away and those that are close - the difference is very noticeable.
Now let's start drawing!
We will need:
- paint (gouache, acrylic, in principle, watercolor is also possible) three colors– white, yellow and blue,
- brush,
- our blank for drawing,
- jar of water,
- palette or white plate,
- paper napkins to wipe something off or blot your brush if necessary.
Drawing order:
- Mix white and blue paint on the palette to get a very light shade. This will be the color of the sky.
- We invite the child to color only the sky.
- Then you need to paint the clouds white and the sun yellow.
- Mix white and blue again (or add more blue paint to the previous batch) to get a light shade that is a little richer than the color of the sky.
- We color the row of mountains that are closest to the sky.
- We repeat the batches, adding more blue and coloring the next row of mountains.
- We paint the very front row - hills and trees - with pure blue or add very little to it white at your discretion.
- All! Drawing mountains using the principle aerial perspective ready!
And here's how our mountains turned out:
For children senior group kindergarten it is important to devote enough time not only to intellectual and physical development, but to fine art.
In the drawing, the child expresses himself, fantasizes and at the same time develops his abilities. It is still quite difficult for children 5-6 years old to convey all the subtleties of a particular subject, so the help of parents is simply mandatory here.
Trees and plants are not that difficult to draw, but with a human figure things are more difficult if the task at hand is to draw it in motion.
We will help you with this and show you how to teach your child to draw a person with a simple pencil step by step. For this purpose, you can choose several methods; any child 5-6 years old can master them.
Before you start drawing a figure with a pencil, it is worth considering that you should not draw broken lines and then outline them. Drawing a person, even for beginners, will not be so difficult if you draw lines with just one movement, without fear of making a mistake.
When drawing a figure in motion, it is worth imagining its image in your mind, and then transferring imaginary lines on a sheet of paper. The basic rule for beginners is not only to adhere to the accuracy of the outlined lines and respect the proportions of the body, but also to convey the entire essence and significance of the drawn image.
The main advantage of any artist is the ability to convey the character and inner mood of the person created on a sheet of paper.
Quite often, when drawing a person, it is not possible to maintain the proportions of the body, as a result of which the drawn figure does not look believable. The main problem is incorrect length of the upper and lower limbs, too large or very small head.
Such mistakes are very typical for children 5-6 years old, so it is recommended to draw with a pencil step by step, learning to break the drawing into several separate parts.
Often, the human figure is conditionally divided into 7 identical parts, which can be equated to 7 head circumferences, including the neck.
Having learned theoretical basis, we learn to draw a person in motion together with children.
The process of creating a drawing
Option 1
- First, you and your child need to draw an oval, which will later be folded into the head of the person drawn.
Draw the neck just below the oval; this part of the body should not be too long, it should be placed strictly in the middle. Then we finish drawing the rectangle, it will be a guide for further drawing of the body.
- Next, you need to draw the same rectangle, its width should be equal to the first one, but its length should be slightly larger. We divide the second rectangle in half, thus making a sketch for the lower limbs. We slightly round the corners of the upper rectangle, thus forming the shoulders.
- Now you need to use an eraser to remove the extra lines that are indicated in the picture with a red arrow; this procedure will be interesting for children.
- In order for the child to fully understand the drawing lesson, it is worth telling him in detail how the details of the head are drawn. All unnecessary lines can be easily removed using an eraser.
In the middle of the previously prepared oval, draw the eyes, as well as the nose and mouth. Don’t forget to draw the eyebrows and sketch out the person’s hairstyle.
- At the very end, make several oblique lines that will depict folds on the clothes, draw the necessary elements of the shoes.
The drawing is completely ready, every parent will be able to teach their child to draw a person step by step.
Option 2
This simple way of depicting a figure in motion will appeal to fidgety children.
- First, sketch out lines on paper that will later serve as a guide for drawing the torso, upper and lower limbs.
At the top of the sheet we draw a head (draw an oval). The child will be able to complete this task independently with the guidance of the parent. Do not forget to mark the lines inside the oval along which the eyes, nose, and mouth will be placed.
- Based on the guides, draw the human torso. Next, you can start drawing the hairstyle. Do not exclude some details; let the child independently complete the drawing of any object in the person’s hand. Detail the face, carefully depict the eyes with a nose and mouth.
- Now all that remains is to remove the remaining extra lines.
This is how easy it is to draw a person, this procedure will bring pleasure not only to parents, but also to children, thanks to this the child will master some skills in the fine arts.
