Drawing on the theme “Space” is an endless field for creative experiments. When depicting the Universe “on canvas,” a small or adult artist makes individual decisions: what paper to use, what colors to choose, how to design the composition and how to complement it. Depending on the choice of materials and execution technique, the design can be more vivid or less pronounced, rich in details or laconic and abstract. Space with planets, stars and a satellite, drawn in pencil or gouache, cannot be compared with watercolor in terms of realism. A small galaxy created using a sponge with acrylic paint will become the greatest pride of a novice artist or talented child. And if you have never had to do this kind of creativity before, don’t be upset. We will tell and show how to draw space in step-by-step master classes with photos and videos.

PVA glue

A step-by-step master class for children on creating a bright drawing on the theme “Space”

Place a thick white sheet on work surface. Using round objects of different diameters and ordinary pencil, draw nine circles on paper.
Depending on the diameter, the circle will be one or another planet. For example, the largest figure is Jupiter, and the smallest is Mercury.
Using gouache paints, apply characteristic colors to the circles. You can look at the real colors of the planets in a children's encyclopedia, or you can create unusual fantasy planets to suit your taste.
When the paint is completely dry, cut out the resulting shapes using sharp scissors along the contour.
On a black piece of paper (you can use half) leave splashes of white gouache paint. To do this, take a little gouache on your brush and wave it over the paper several times.
Plan the location of your planets “in space.” Place them carefully on whatman paper and take a closer look. If you like the composition, proceed to the next stage.
Using office glue or PVA, secure all the elements in place.
Press each planet firmly with the palm of your hand or a thick textbook to ensure the pieces stick firmly. Do not overdo it with glue so that excess mass does not leak out to the sides. On a black background, the spots will be especially noticeable.
After the glue has completely dried, remove the textbook and evaluate the result. Drawing with colored pencils or paints on the theme “Space” according to the step-by-step master class for children is completely ready! Photo 11

How to draw the perfect cosmos with stars, satellites and planets with a sponge on home ceramics

Most often they draw space watercolor paints- fast, convenient, practical. But what if you want to cover a household item that is completely unsuitable for watercolor with a fashionable galactic image? After all, ceramics, wood and other popular materials absorb watery paint, leaving only faded shades on the surface. In this case, it is better to use pigment ink or acrylic paints in combination with a soft sponge or foam sponge. This way the image will be successfully fixed and will retain its brightness and clarity for a long time.

Space

There are a great many lessons on drawing space on the Internet, including step-by-step photo tutorials and videos. Most often, when painting space, watercolors are used, because... it is translucent and blends easily.

I like the videos on the channel TILLITH. She has a whole playlist on how to draw space.

Here is one of her videos:

There is also a step-by-step guide on my website.

Planets

It’s easy to draw a planet, but it always looks epic, especially if you color it beautifully.

Below step by step lesson how to draw a planet similar to Saturn.

Step 1

First draw a nice and large circle to illustrate the volume of the planet. Leave a little space on each side to then draw the rings.

Step 2

Now for the rings: Draw a long, thin oval shape in the center of the circle. You can tilt this shape (almost at a 45 degree angle) to make the planet look more attractive.

Step 3

Now transform the oval shape into a nice and edgy ring. Carefully erase the extra lines.

Step 4

Then add multiple lines on the planet to create different stripes of gas. You can also add a couple more rings.

Step 5

Use several colors in shades of orange and yellow. The combination of these colors will make the planet more realistic.

Step 6

The last step is to add shadows: one with right side, one under the ring, and the other behind the planet on the right side of the rings.

Space doodles

This direction in drawing arose not so long ago and now it is mega-popular. Verbatim doodle- these are dashes, scribbles, meaningless drawings that are created mechanically, thinking about something else. Drawing space objects in doodle style looks just right. I will give a few examples that you can easily repeat with a black helium pen. And if you then color the drawing, then you have every chance of taking first place in the competition for the best drawing for Cosmonautics Day!

Step-by-step master class

If you did not participate in the competition, but also want to learn how to draw space, save these somewhere step by step instructions, what and how to do so that it turns out bright and beautiful.

1. In order to draw the Universe, only 3-4 colors are enough. At least that's the amount you can start with. Important: The sheet for watercolors must be very dense so that it does not wrinkle from water and so that the paint spreads beautifully and evenly.

2. The outline can be drawn solid with a simple pencil to designate the area that you will wet with water. Wet part of the allocated space.

3. Apply paint to the wetted area. Try to make the contours beautiful.

4. Wet the rest of the space with water and apply a different color of paint. Selectively add bright pops of color throughout the design. The drawing must be wet so that the paint flows beautifully.

5. Once the design is completely dry, apply the stars. This can be done with white or yellow paint using an old toothbrush.

6. Some stars could be drawn more carefully.

If you sprinkle salt on a wet drawing, the structure of space will turn out even more interesting. The salt will absorb some of the paint, and if you shake it off after it has completely dried, there will be beautiful white dots and clouds in place of the salt.

On our creative Instagram @miftvorchestvo we will regularly hold competitions on notebooks “642 ideas, what to draw”, “642 ideas, what to write about” and “642 ideas, what else to write about” (new!). Subscribe to keep up to date with everything creative, interesting and creatively fun.

Original taken from chatlburan How children see space

Today the whole world celebrates the anniversary of the beginning of human exploration of a fundamentally new entity - Space! On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin made a space flight for the first time in history and thereby discovered new era humanity.

An exhibition of children's drawings on a space theme opened today in Rostov: We are descendants of Gagarin. Space relay race-Rostov.

It was interesting to see how children imagine space, how they see the space future, what they expect from it and whether they dream of becoming astronauts.

Below the cut there are many photos from the exhibition.

You can conditionally divide the pictures into several categories. Some were distinguished by the detail of the technical part of the spacecraft:

(this one is generally done in pastels)

Others reflected the story:

Still others imagined everyday scenes of the cosmic future:

Space trains, station, parking lots spaceships. The curtains on the windows of the train are magnificent!

And here we can see orbital stores: plants and flowers, Appliances, honey laboratory. I would venture to guess that the small buildings are fast food outlets: shawarma, vkusnolyubov, “coffee to go”, etc.

Of course, there were aliens:

Title of the drawing: "Hello, friend!" It's nice that the children are peaceful. The culture of aggression has not yet had time to spoil them. The theme of friendship and peaceful coexistence with aliens runs through all the drawings. There are no battle scenes anywhere.

Subtle humor and good imagination. Everything is wonderful here!

Catching stars

Attractions attached to the rings of Saturn.

A flying saucer with wheels!

No less than NEVZ launched its space electric locomotive :)

Nebulae and landscapes:

And some I just liked:

The ship and one spacesuit are made of foil.

There are a total of 152 drawings at the exhibition out of 15 educational institutions Rostov and region. There are many interesting works. The exhibition will be held from April 12 to April 20 at the Rostov House of Children and Youth Creativity (formerly the Palace of Pioneers, Sadovaya, 53-55). Free admission.

The exhibition is important because it actualizes the theme of space as such. Children fantasize and draw interesting stories. But it’s sad that they stopped dreaming about space - to the question “what do you want to become?” None of the authors of the drawings answered “astronaut”. A football player, a lawyer, a businessman... Meanwhile, man and Humanity have a much higher purpose than business and football. We must do our best to kindle the thirst for space expansion and convey the value of this path. And the more active the space topic is on the agenda, the more chances we, earthlings, have to return to the path of development and achieve outstanding results on a universal scale!

Happy Cosmonautics Day everyone!

Today in Rostov-on-Don, an exhibition of children's drawings dedicated to the 55th anniversary of the first human flight into space opened at the Palace of Children and Youth Creativity.

Children drew pictures and wrote stories as part of the all-Russian competition “We are Gagarin’s descendants - space relay race”, which is held by public organization family protection “Parental All-Russian Resistance” together with the social movement “Essence of Time”.

The exhibition features more than 150 works completed by students from 20 educational institutions in Rostov-on-Don, Shakhty, Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, Novocherkassk, as well as eleven stories (they can be read in the VK group dedicated to the exhibition.

Even before visiting kindergarten, children pay attention to the fact that night follows day, and the Sun follows the Moon. And since children are very inquisitive, they enthusiastically ask their parents what the sky is, why it is blue, and where the Sun goes. The universe is of particular interest to children because everything unknown seems mysterious and magical. The task of parents is to tell their children about the planets, space and astronauts in an accessible, children's language. We bring to your attention ideas for stories about space for children, suitable pictures and interesting cartoons. Devote your weekend amazing journey to the world of stars and planets.

About space for children: talking about the stars

The Universe for children is an unusual and amazing world in which the Sun and Stars shine brightest. To get acquainted with the bright night “pebbles”, invite your child to take a walk in the evening. Show him that there are many in the sky bright stars, they flicker mysteriously. In fact, they are not as small as they seem. IN real size- these are huge hot balls of gas: the hottest ones shine blue, others - red. They come in different sizes. The most famous and brightest stars - polar Star and Sirius. The beloved warm Sun is also a star, the most important for us and our planet Earth. There are also colorful constellations in the sky - silhouettes of bright Stars. For example, the Big and Little Dipper.

Space for children: exploring the planets

Around main Star, the Sun, 9 planets rotate, as well as other planets and asteroids. They are all different sizes and located at different distances relative to the Earth on which we live. It is generally accepted that this is the only planet inhabited by people; no life has been found on others.

To study the location of planets in space, pictures for children will be a great help.

Poems that describe planets from the point of view of distance can also help you. Here's one of them.

All planets in order

Any of us can name:

One - Mercury,

Two - Venus,

Three - Earth,

Four - Mars.

Five - Jupiter,

Six - Saturn,

Seven - Uranus,

Behind him is Neptune.

He is the eighth in a row.

And after him, then,

And the ninth planet

On the eve of Cosmonautics Day, it will be important to talk about children's drawings on the theme of space. In this article we want to tell you how to draw space using unconventional drawing techniques. Here we will look at drawings on the theme of space, made in the techniques of grattage, matte, and spray. You will also learn how to draw unusual drawing for Cosmonautics Day using shaving foam or bubble wrap. The techniques for drawing space described in the article are easy to implement and accessible, including to children of preschool and primary school age.

1. Drawings on the theme of space using scratch paper technique

The word “grattage” comes from the French gratter - to scrape, scratch, therefore another name for the technique is the scratching technique.

To draw a drawing on the theme of space using the scratchboard technique, you will need:

Heavy weight white paper (or cardstock)
- colored wax crayons
- black gouache paint or ink
- dishwashing liquid
- tassel
- any sharp object (wooden skewer, toothpick, knitting needle, etc.)

Work plan:

1. Color the paper using colored wax crayons in a free style. Don't skimp on the crayons; they should cover the paper with a thick layer. Note: even a small child can handle this part of the job.

2. Mix 3 parts black gouache paint (ink) and 1 part dishwashing liquid. Cover the paper with the resulting mixture in an even layer.

3. Let the paint dry completely. You can speed up this process using a hairdryer. Now comes the fun part! Take any sharp object and scratch your drawing on the theme of space with it. The result will be an original work for Cosmonautics Day, made in unconventional technology drawing scratch paper

2. How to draw space. Drawing using the "passepartout" technique

This is a very unusual and fascinating drawing technique. First, as in the previous technique, you need to color a sheet of paper with colored wax crayons. The result is a bright, colorful rug. After this, draw templates of planets, flying saucers, space rockets, stars, etc. Cut out the templates. On a thick sheet of black paper, lay out the cut out templates in the form of a composition. Trace them with a pencil, then cut out the silhouettes using nail scissors. Note: This step of the job must be performed by an adult. Now place a black sheet of paper with cut out silhouettes on the “mat” painted with crayons. The drawing of space using the passe-partout technique is ready. Link to the original source.

3. Children's drawings on the theme of space. Drawing with shaving foam

For children in creativity, the process itself is more important than the result obtained. We, adults, are interested in the final product of our activities. Today we want to offer you a type of play with colors that will satisfy the needs of both children and adults. The website games-for-kids.ru describes an interesting way to create the so-called. "marble paper" using regular shaving foam and paints (or food coloring). Taking advantage detailed instructions By making “marble paper” described on this site, you can make beautiful drawings on the theme of space for Cosmonautics Day.

4. Drawings for Cosmonautics Day. Drawing space to music

In 1914-1916, the English composer Gustav Holst composed the symphonic suite "The Planets". The suite consists of 7 parts - according to the number of planets solar system(excluding Earth) known at the time of writing. We suggest you do the following with your child: interesting activity, dedicated to the theme of space, on the eve of Cosmonautics Day.

Give it to the child large leaf paper and paint. Ask him to use a simple pencil to divide the sheet into four equal parts. Now let him listen to any 4 parts of the suite in turn (for example, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus). Listening to every part piece of music, he must depict on canvas the emotions and feelings that this music evokes in him. Children usually really like this kind of work. This is what one of our students drew.

From the resulting abstract paintings Then you can cut out the planets and stick them on a sheet of black paper. The drawing for Cosmonautics Day is ready!

5. Drawings on the theme of space. Drawing space with a toothbrush

We invite you to make a drawing on the theme of space in the so-called. spray technique. Using a toothbrush, spray white paint on a piece of black paper. You will get a starry sky.

The planet in the picture below was also made using this non-traditional drawing technique. Additional prints were made using a cardboard toilet paper roll and a plastic straw. Also, when drawing this picture on the theme of space, the so-called. spray technique.

7. Drawings of space. Drawings for Cosmonautics Day

An interesting project for children for Cosmonautics Day was prepared by the website MrBrintables.com. On this site you can download and print a drawing of the Moon. The moon comes in three sizes: large (22 sheets), medium (6 sheets) and small size(1 sheet). Print out the drawing and stick the sheets on the wall in the correct sequence.

Now invite your child to imagine who lives on the moon. Let him draw its inhabitants, their houses, transport, etc.

8. Drawings on the theme of space. Children's drawings on the theme of space

These charming aliens are drawn using such an unconventional painting technique as blowing paint through a straw (plastic tube). What is this technique?

Using a brush (or pipette), apply paint diluted with water onto a sheet of paper to create a spot of paint on the sheet. After this, we blow on the paint through a straw, it spreads in different directions and we get a weirdly shaped spot. When the paint is dry, we add all the necessary details to our alien.

Even small children can draw such a drawing on the theme of space.

9. How to draw space. Drawings of space

Now we will tell you about a very in an interesting way how to draw the moon. For this space-themed craft, you will need regular PVA glue in a bottle with a narrow spout. We will draw on high-density paper. Draw craters directly on the surface of the moon with glue. When the glue is completely dry and transparent, paint over the moon with gray paint.

Drawing on the theme of Space: you will need

- a sheet of paper for watercolors,

- a simple pencil,

- gouache paints,

- tassels different numbers,

- templates geometric shapes,

- special line.

Drawing space: step-by-step master class

Step 1

— Make template templates: circles of different sizes, rectangle, triangle, half circle.

— Try to create a composition on the theme “Space” from the given figures.

Hint: one of possible options- draw a rocket.

— Arrange the rectangle, triangle and semicircle templates to form a rocket.

— Trace the details according to the templates with a simple pencil.

Using a special ruler, draw small circles on the rocket - these are portholes.

Step 2

- Draw the planets - trace the circle patterns.

— Add a few more small planets along the ruler.

- Select a suitable figure on the ruler, circle it several times below the rocket, this way you can get the fiery tail of the rocket.

Step 3

- Dip the brush into gouache of blue color and place blue spots on the sheet around the design.

- Then dip the brush in yellow paint and place the yellow spots in the same way.

- Pick up white paint with a wet brush, paint the background of the sky, constantly dipping the brush into water and the tip of the brush into white paint. At the same time, we draw the brush in a wavy line from top to bottom.

— Then we gradually paint over the remaining fragments of the drawing.

- In this way, we gradually fill the entire drawing with paints. It’s better to start painting with light colors. This process is creative.

— To paint planets, it is better to mix paints of 2-3 colors.
