Unusual ways of drawing. Picture from both sides spray technique

Children and creativity are inseparable concepts. Every child in the soul is an artist and sculptor, singer and musician. Creative impulses in children manifest themselves in the most unimaginable form, but very often they are associated with artistic activity. Many mothers sooner or later wonder why a child needs to learn to draw? And really, why, if you do not plan to raise another Surikov or Aivazovsky? If your task is to see your child as a successful, self-confident person, then encourage creative manifestations, because any visual work is an important condition for the normal development of the baby.

Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten and at home help develop spatial thinking, eye measurement, and coordination. After all, the baby needs to connect the ratio of the sizes of the parts with a single composition and arrange them harmoniously on the sheet. When working on a complex decorative composition, the child learns to plan his actions, choose the right material. It is very important for him to understand that he can create something with his own hands.

Everyone knows that drawing is one of the most favorite activities of our children. With great pleasure they draw with colored pencils, felt-tip pens, paints, dipping the brush into a bright substance. And why not get your finger wet there or smear the whole palm with paint? Fine art cannot be framed, it is necessary to destroy all the boundaries of the familiar and traditional!

Non-traditional drawing techniques attract our fidgets much more, because they do not require perseverance, they allow them to more clearly reveal their potential during creativity, they introduce the child to the opportunity to unusually use the things around us as materials for creativity. If the most unusual paints and bright pencils in the baby no longer arouse their former interest, then you can dilute the creativity of your fidget with other drawing methods. Why is drawing in non-traditional ways useful in kindergarten and at home?

The kid uses a variety of materials, learns the differences in textures, which allows him to improve fine motor skills.
There is an acquaintance with volume, form and space, which develops the imagination.
The ability to combine and mix shades develops aesthetic taste.
The use of unusual materials develops thinking, teaches to make non-standard decisions.
Drawings using such techniques are obtained much faster, which pleases the crumbs, who so lack perseverance.
It adds self-confidence and self-confidence, because even without outstanding skills you can create a unique “masterpiece”!

All the most interesting techniques and methods were collected and systematized by G.N. Davydov in the book "Unconventional Drawing Techniques in Kindergarten". This book is a great helper for both a teacher and a mom who wants to diversify her leisure time with her baby.

Let's start creating: fingers or palms

Non-traditional drawing techniques involve depicting images using various materials, including “non-artistic” ones: crumpled paper, foam rubber, threads, paraffin candle or wax crayons, dried leaves; drawing without using a tool - with palms or fingers and much more. Such methods are successfully used both in kindergarten and at home.

For different ages, you can offer your own technique, for example, it will be interesting for the smallest to draw with fingers, because it is still difficult for a baby to hold a brush, but the baby already knows his own hands brilliantly. Dip the palm of the crumbs in the paint and offer to leave a mark on the paper, as cat and dog tracks leave. Consider the imprint with the baby, who does it look like? It looks like an elephant or a turtle, and if we finish the eye, there will be a fish! All the action is controlled only by the imagination of your baby, and if suddenly he is confused, then help him, hold a master class - paint your palm and leave an imprint. “Look, the mother of an elephant turned out, but where is the baby elephant?”, - the child will be happy to join in such a fun game.

You can dip in paint not the whole palm, but only fingers, and leave tiny prints. The more multi-colored prints, the more interesting the drawing - let the kid fantasize for his own pleasure. Adults should be prepared for the fact that the paint will be not only on the leaf, but also on the baby, or rather, the baby will be all in it and the surrounding objects too. Therefore, take care of cleanliness in advance: cover the table where you plan to arrange a creative workshop with oilcloth, and put an apron and armlets on the baby, otherwise what kind of flight of fancy can we talk about if you constantly pull the baby: “Be careful, you will get dirty!”.

We continue to fantasize. Stamps, prints

Kids of all ages like to use stamps while drawing. This unique technique of unconventional drawing in kindergarten is so easy to perform and versatile in manifestation that it is perfect for work both in kindergarten and at home. Ready-made stamps can be purchased at an art supply store. But it is much more interesting to make a stamp on your own, and even better with a baby.

As a stamp, almost anything that can be dipped in paint and then left an imprint on a sheet of paper is suitable. You can cut an apple or a potato - this is the easiest stamp. On a half of a potato, you can cut out some figure: a heart or a flower. Another stamp is made from ordinary threads, wound on any basis. Threads can not be wound, but simply immersed in paint. After thorough impregnation, they are laid out on one sheet, covered with another, lightly pressed, and admire the intricate pattern.

It is easy to make a stamp from ordinary plasticine. Come up with an interesting shape and decorate a small piece of plasticine. It is better to choose thick paint for classic stamps. An unusual texture to the background can be given by using a crumpled napkin or paper, and then according to the worked out scheme: we dip it in paint and stamp it. Very beautiful stamps are obtained from dried leaves: paint the leaf with paint on one side, put it on paper and press it. After the painted leaf was removed, the picture “Golden Autumn” turned out - the kid is completely delighted.

There is another non-traditional drawing technique, similar to a stamp, but with an interesting feature - drawing with foam rubber. Cut off a small piece from an ordinary sponge, dip it in paint and cover the sheet with gentle pressure. It's so easy and simple to get a wonderful background for further drawing, and if you use stencils or templates for children's drawing, you get an amazing floral or geometric pattern.

Dot drawing

As a method of fine art for kids, drawing with dots can be distinguished. This simple technique is clear even to the crumbs. You will need paints and cotton buds or regular felt-tip pens. We dip the wand into the paint, and with a slight pressure draw a dot on a sheet of paper, then another one - until the invented image appears on the landscape sheet. You can help the baby by drawing the outline of the future drawing, and he will fill it with a large number of bright prints. The subject of a bitmap can be any - a winter fairy tale, and a bright sun. Education at such a tender age should be carried out unobtrusively, in the form of a game.

Technique "monotype"

For older children, you can offer more interesting types of artistic creativity. For example, an interesting technique, which is also based on prints, is “Monotype”. Its purpose is to create a symmetrical pattern, such as a mushroom, an insect (butterfly or ladybug), for an older preschool group, you can depict a landscape reflected in a lake.

We take a landscape sheet of paper, fold it in half, then unfold it and draw on one half relative to the fold line. Since we agreed to depict a butterfly, we draw one wing, then we iron the folded sheet with our hand. We open it - the butterfly already has two wings and they are exactly the same! Missing elements can be finished with a brush.

The feeling of delight is provided, while the child understands that his “hooligan” actions, when blots and splashes fly onto the album sheet, are also a form of art. "Blotography" also has the name "Splatter". With such techniques, unusual artistic effects can be achieved.

Paint splatter, aka "Splatter". A toothbrush will come to the rescue. Gently dip it into the paint and lightly tap with a pen or pencil towards you. A huge number of small droplets remain on the sheet. With the help of such an unconventional drawing technique, a very realistic winter landscape or deep space with many stars is obtained. "Blotography" will help the young artist populate the uninhabited planets of space with funny aliens. One has only to pick up more paint on the brush and let it drain onto a sheet of paper - it turned out to be a blot. And now we blow on it, dispersing the rays in different directions. Let's draw a couple of eyes to the dried blot, or maybe two pairs, this is an unknown animal, and send it to populate its distant worlds!

An interesting texture can be achieved by using a dry brush. Lightly immerse a dry wide brush in gouache, wipe off excess paint on a jar. We draw with vertical poke movements. The image turns out to be “shaggy” and “prickly”, in this way Christmas trees and hedgehogs, a field with green grass are very realistic. In such an unconventional way in kindergarten, you can draw flowers, for example, asters.

Incredible possibilities of ordinary things.

Bubble.

It turns out that soap bubbles can not only be blown and popped, but you can also draw with them. Dilute a little paint in a glass of soapy water, take a tube and blow bubbles into the glass. Your kids will do this trick with pleasure. Well, there is a lot of bright multi-colored foam, put a sheet of paper on it, and as soon as the bubbles begin to appear, the paper needs to be removed - the colorful pattern is ready!

Salt.

Do not be surprised, but salt can be used not only in cooking. An interesting texture will turn out if the dry drawing is sprinkled with salt, and when the paint dries, just chill.

Sand, beads and various grains are also used to create creative textures. There are several options for using such materials.

Sprinkle the sheet pre-coated with glue with grits, sand or beads, and then draw on the textured surface.
We cover with glue the areas where the drawing will be depicted.
Color and dry the necessary materials in advance, and then decorate the drawing with them.

Classics in an unconventional way

Let's put away the stamps and salt, wipe off the paint-stained pens, get the watercolors and brushes. Boring? Not boring at all, but very interesting, because with the help of classic watercolors we will work wonders!

It is necessary to take thick paper (the best option is special watercolor), wet it so that it gets wet enough. Pick up a little paint on the brush and lightly touch the wet paper with the brush. The movements should be exactly light and smooth, the beauty of the result depends on this. Before your eyes, a drop of paint spreads in different directions, turning into something amazing! This is the right time to tell your baby about the rules for getting new colors and shades. Now this practice is the most obvious. The resulting unthinkable divorces will serve as an interesting background for future creative work.

The next non-traditional drawing technique that we will consider, also from the “miracles nearby” category, is called “Aquatype”.

This is a technique of drawing with paints and water, it is also known as water printing. Just as in the previous method, we need thick paper, we will choose no less traditional paints - gouache, we also need black or any dark ink. Think with the baby, what would he like to portray? This method produces unusually beautiful flowers. After the paints have dried, paint over the entire sheet with ink, then immerse your work in a bowl of water, and enjoy the wonderful transformations! All gouache will dissolve, only your drawing will remain on a dark background. Why not magic?

The series of incredible transformations has not ended! Let's take all the same thick paper, and with wax crayons (if they were not at hand, you can use an ordinary candle), we will apply a drawing or pattern. Next, apply watercolor paint to the entire sheet (places treated with wax will not be painted). A drawing will appear on a colored watercolor background, which will be a surprise for the baby, because when you draw with colorless chalk on a white sheet, it is rather difficult to imagine the final result. The process of magic in the end can also bring quite a practical result.

Making "marble paper" is an extremely exciting activity that kids really like: it's fun to play with things that are generally not allowed to be taken. For example, daddy's shaving foam. For work you will need:

shaving foam;
watercolor paints;
flat plate;
sheet of thick paper.

First you need to get a saturated solution: mix the paint with water. Then apply a thick layer of shaving cream on a plate, and drip a few bright drops of paint in a chaotic manner. With the help of a brush, we draw with drops of paint on the foam, getting intricate zigzags and patterns. Here it is - a magical sacrament that will completely absorb an enthusiastic baby. And here is the promised practical effect. We apply the sheet to the rainbow foam, and then turn it over so that the foam is on top of the sheet. We remove the foam remaining on the paper with a scraper. And - about a miracle! Unimaginable stains appear from under the foam, similar to a marble pattern. The paper has absorbed the ink. After drying, "marble paper" can be used in the manufacture of crafts or as an addition to the decor.

There is no limit to creativity

For children who have already become acquainted with many interesting techniques and have shown their outstanding creative abilities, we can offer a rather difficult drawing technique - “scratching”.

Thick paper is needed, it needs to be painted with wax crayons, preferably in bright colors, then, using a wide brush, cover with black gouache or ink. If you intend to use gouache, add a little PVA glue so that the dried paint does not crumble. When the ink (or gouache) dries, the blank for further work is ready. Now take a thin stack (any sharp, non-writing instrument) and start drawing. But this process can be called drawing only conditionally, since the top layer of paint is scraped off. So, stroke after stroke, a bright wax layer appears and is projected into the artist's idea.

For young artists, it will be a fascinating technique of drawing with plasticine on glass.

Choose the drawing you like, cover it with glass, draw the outlines of the drawing on the glass with a black felt-tip pen. Then we proceed to filling the contours with soft plasticine, trying not to protrude beyond the edge. The wrong side does not look so neat, but a bright and clear picture is visible from the front side. Insert the work into a frame, and you can use colored cardboard as a background.

There are a number of non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten that children of the middle and senior preschool groups can easily master. For everyday activities, a combination of appliqué with a classic pattern may be suitable. The pre-cut elements are glued onto the landscape sheet, after which they give the image a finished look with the help of pencils or paints.

One of the available and entertaining techniques is "Frontage".

We have known this type of fine art since childhood, do you remember hiding a coin under a sheet of paper and shading it with a simple pencil? In the same way, instead of a coin, you can use dry leaves, and shade not with a pencil, but with colored pastels. The picture will turn out bright and saturated.

We have seen a lot of drawing techniques and have already learned a lot, so why not put our knowledge into practice? With the help of both traditional and non-traditional drawing techniques, any interior items are decorated. Decorative drawing in kindergarten also has an applied character, a child can already decorate, for example, a pencil holder or a clay vase, or he can please his mother and create a unique pattern on a cutting board. It should only be remembered that paints for such work must be chosen waterproof: acrylic or oil. To make the result please longer, cover the finished craft with varnish.

For interior decoration, the technique of "stained glass" is used.

The essence of the technique is to apply the adhesive contour and fill it with paint. There are many variants of this technique, but one of the most interesting is drawing a pattern on an oilcloth, and after drying, the pattern can be removed from the oilcloth and glued to any surface, for example, glass, - there will be a translucent bright picture.

Let us dwell in more detail on the execution technique itself.

The ideal option would be to use specialized stained glass paints, but if there are none, you can be smart and make them yourself. Take ordinary gouache and add PVA glue, after drying, the paints have an elastic structure, which will allow you to remove the picture from the film without difficulty. Choose the picture you like and draw its outline on a transparent oilcloth (you can take a regular file or a plastic transparent folder). It is better to make the contour first with a pencil or felt-tip pen, and then circle it either with a finished stained glass contour, or with ordinary PVA glue from a tube with a dispenser. Wait for the contour to dry, then fill with bright colors. After complete drying, you can unstick the pattern from the film and decorate the intended surface.

You can decorate not only interior items, but also wardrobe items with special fabric paints. This technique is called "Cold batik". Invite your child to make a designer painting of an ordinary white T-shirt, only your baby will have this, the one and only!

First, the T-shirt must be fixed in an embroidery hoop or in a stretcher for drawing on canvas.
Using a pencil and tracing paper, transfer the image of your favorite cartoon character to the fabric.

One of the most important stages of this method is the application of a reserve composition, in other words, a protective contour that will prevent the paint from spreading over the fabric. The contour must be closed to prevent spreading.

After drying, according to the scheme known to us, we fill the contours with paint.
Then the drawing must be fixed. Place one sheet of paper under the drawing, and the other on the drawing and iron it.

You can wash such a product, but it is better in manual mode in cool water. The unique product is ready.

Conclusion

All considered non-traditional drawing techniques are applicable only indoors. What about outdoor walks in summer? Are only outdoor games suitable for the street? No, you can do fine art. Drawing in the summer in kindergarten can also be done on the street using classic chalk. Drawing on asphalt in kindergarten is a great entertaining and educational activity. Children draw with crayons wherever there is a more or less hard surface: asphalt, tiles, fences, house walls. It's great to see a bright embodiment of fantasy instead of gray asphalt.

An unusual drawing technique opens up a world of fantasy and wide possibilities even for a person who does not know how to draw anything on paper at all. For a child, these are ideas for self-expression and scope for inspiration.

There are many interesting ways when it becomes possible not only to get an exciting drawing, but also to have fun with the baby.

Blotography

The method consists in applying an ordinary blot to a sheet of paper. This can be done by simply dropping the paint typed on a wide brush.

After that, the child is invited to think about what his inkblot looks like and complete the missing details. Perhaps it will be legs, tail or rays. Then the blot comes to life, then it will be possible to fantasize and draw the rest of the background.

In the course of drawing, the child develops imagination through the questions asked to him. He learns to fantasize and embody his plans on a piece of paper.

Drawing with stamps

Unusual drawing techniques for children do not require complex training and unusual tools. You can easily create a masterpiece using ordinary things:

halves of potatoes;
apple slices;
foam sponges;
bricks from Lego.

To get a picture, you must first draw the future base. It can be a branch, stems from flowers, a road where houses will soon appear.

Then any stamp you like is taken and dipped in paint. After applying it to the sheet, a color print is obtained. So you can depict leaves on a branch, flowers, or with the help of Lego cubes, nice houses with brick walls come out.

Drawing with autumn leaves

A very exciting and unusual drawing technique, and the drawings are incredibly delicate and beautiful. To do this, you need to prepare and collect the leaves. And you will need completely different specimens: large, small, red, yellow, rounded or elongated.

Walking in the autumn evening with a child in the park, you should pay your child's attention to the beauty of autumn nature, to the riot of colors. Then you can offer to collect leaves and create a small miracle on a simple sheet of paper.

Leaf print options

There are several ways to get a picture using leaves.

1st way. Invite your child to turn into a wizard of the autumn forest for a while and go on a journey. It is necessary to choose a few leaves you like and coat them with paints on one side. Then the leaves are pressed against the paper, and prints are left that resemble trees in the forest.

2nd way. I really like small children, because it does not require special skills, and the drawing looks just amazing. Together with the baby, lay out 2-3 beautiful pieces of paper on paper. Next, it is better to secure them slightly with adhesive tape so that they do not slip during operation.

With a sponge or a wide brush, paint is applied over the entire remaining surface, including the spread out leaves. As soon as the watercolor dries, you can remove the leaves and admire the resulting miracle.

Create a whimsical drawing

Unusual drawing techniques for children at school will require some preparation and a little patience. But the result will please not only the kids, but will surprise even an adult.

So, you can invite children of primary school age to create colored paper of their own making. For this you will need:

Paper.
Disposable plastic plate.
Watercolor.
Thick cardboard.
Shaving foam.
Cotton buds.

First, the foam is squeezed out in an even layer onto a disposable plate. Then, using a brush, it is necessary to drip multi-colored paints in random order.

Next comes the time for magic. With the help of a cotton swab, the paints are gently stirred and a multi-colored, snowy foam is obtained. Now a sheet of paper is taken and pressed with the whole side to the plate. Excess foam is removed with a piece of cardboard.

When the multi-colored sheet dries, it can be used for further work. The result is a wonderful colored background that is suitable for all kinds of crafts.

Unusual watercolor painting techniques are suitable even for the smallest kids. And joint creativity not only brings adults and children together, but also gives a lot of wonderful works that can be framed and decorate a room.

The use of gouache in unusual art

Gouache, unlike watercolor, is heavier and more opaque. The colors are saturated, and when dried, they lighten slightly. Unusual gouache painting techniques are based on its properties.

You can offer your child drawing with dots. First, a child or an adult draws the outline of the future drawing. Then it is gradually filled with paint using cotton swabs.

Foam drawing is especially exciting for children. Gouache, diluted in water, gives a stunning rich color. If you dilute different colors in disposable cups and then start the bulbs, then the resulting foam can depict bizarre landscapes.

You don't have to have a magic wand to become a wizard. An unusual drawing technique will help show the child a small miracle.

In the absence of a child, draw a picture in advance with wax from a candle. And then offer the kid supposedly a clean sheet to paint over with paints. Surely he will be surprised where such beauty came from on the sheet.

adult hobby

Adults or older students can try creating an atmospheric drawing using watercolor. Hanging Gardens is an unusual painting technique where the image is created by spraying paint from a spray bottle.

You should definitely try to portray this miracle in the presence of a child. To do this, apply several stripes of different shades of green on top of the sheet. Then spray water from a spray bottle, the watercolor begins to flow, intricately changing shape and movement.

One of the varieties of such drawing is the appearance of an image on wet paper. There are a number of landscapes that come out successfully only when an unusual painting technique is used.

First you need to teach the child to make the sheet slightly wet. If the paper is too wet, the effect will not work, and the paper will deteriorate. For this, a piece of cotton wool moistened with water is suitable.

After that, you can leave marks with a brush, touching the sheet, thinking over the plot in advance. It could be a rainy day, a city at night, or flowers in the fog.

There is no limit to fantasy and creativity. Teachers are advised to use all kinds of material in their work and not be afraid to experiment.

Drawing with a secret in three pairs of hands

When your child is 4 years old, we strongly advise you to resort to this method. It consists in the following. A rectangular sheet of paper is taken, 3 pencils. Adults and a child are distributed: who will draw the first, who will be the second, who will be the third. The first one starts drawing, and then closes his drawing, bending the leaflet on top and leaving a little bit, some part, to continue (the neck, for example). The second, not seeing anything but the neck, naturally continues the torso, leaving only part of the legs visible. The third one finishes. Then the whole sheet is opened - and almost always it turns out funny: from the mismatch of proportions, color schemes.

Blotography

It consists in 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 inkblot look like?”, “Whom or what does it remind you of?” - these questions are very useful, because develop thinking and imagination. After that, without forcing the child, but showing, we recommend moving on to the next step - tracing or drawing the blot. The result can be a whole story.

Drawing together on a long strip of paper

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

Drawing yourself or drawing from nature of your favorite toys

Drawing from nature develops observation, the ability to no longer create, but to depict according to the rules, i.e. draw so that it looks like the original in proportions, shapes, and colors. Suggest that you draw yourself first, looking in the mirror. And be sure to look in the mirror many times. Better yet, show how you adults will draw yourself, by all means looking in the mirror many times. Then let the child choose an object for himself. It can be a favorite doll, bear or car. It is important to learn to observe for a long time, comparing parts of the subject. And further. If a child moves away from nature, introduces something of his own, as a result of which a completely different object or toy appears, do not be upset. Praise your toddler: “You drew a new car today! Perhaps you want this?” But at the end of such a drawing, it is important to ask: “How does the drawn car differ from this one?”

"I draw my mother"

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

bitmap

Children love anything non-traditional. Drawing with dots refers to unusual, in this case, techniques. For implementation, you can take a felt-tip pen, a pencil, put it perpendicular to a white sheet of paper and start drawing. But here's the best way to get bitmaps 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 points is the same. The main thing is to immediately interest the child.

foam drawings

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

Mysterious drawings

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

Drawing with crayons

Preschoolers love variety. These opportunities provide us with ordinary crayons, sanguine, coal. Smooth asphalt, porcelain, ceramic tiles, stones - this is the base on which chalk and coal fit well. So, asphalt disposes to a capacious image of plots. They (if there is no rain) can be developed the next day. And then make up stories according to the plots. And on ceramic tiles (which are sometimes stored in the remains somewhere in the pantry), we recommend depicting patterns, small objects with crayons or charcoal. Large stones (such as boulders) are asked to decorate them under the image of an animal's head or under a stump. It depends on what or whom the stone resembles in shape.

magic drawing method

This method is implemented like this. An image is drawn on white paper with the corner of a wax candle (a Christmas tree, a house, or maybe a whole plot). Then with a brush, and preferably with cotton wool or foam rubber, the paint is applied on top of the entire image. Due to the fact that the paint does not fall on the bold image with a candle, the drawing seems to appear suddenly before the eyes of the children, manifesting itself. You can get the same effect by first drawing with stationery 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 over a snowman painted with a candle with blue paint, and a boat with green paint. No need to worry if candles or soap start to crumble while painting. It depends on their quality.

Drawing small pebbles

Of course, most often the child depicts on a plane, on paper, less often on asphalt, tiles of large stones. A flat image of a house, trees, cars, animals on paper is not as attractive as creating volumetric own creations. In this regard, sea pebbles are ideally used. They are smooth, small and have a 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 under a frog, another under a bug, and a wonderful fungus will come out of the third. Bright thick paint is applied to the pebble - and the image is ready. And it’s better to finish it like this: after the pebble dries, cover it with a colorless varnish. In this case, a voluminous beetle or a frog made by children's hands shines, brightly shimmers. This toy will participate in independent children's games more than once and bring considerable benefits to its owner.

Finger painting method

Here is another way to depict the world around you: with your fingers, palm, feet, and maybe with your chin, nose. Not everyone will take such a statement seriously. Where is the line between prank and drawing? And why should we draw only with a brush or felt-tip pen? After all, a hand or individual fingers is such a help. Moreover, the index finger of the right hand obeys the child better than a pencil. Well, if the pencil is broken, the brush is wiped off, the felt-tip pens are over - but you want to draw. There is another reason: sometimes the theme just asks for a child's hand or finger. For example, a child will better draw a tree with his hands than with other tools. With his finger, he will bring out the trunk and branches, then (if) he will apply yellow, green, orange paints to the inside of the hand and draw a crimson-mahogany tree on top. Well, if we teach children to use their fingers rationally: not just one index finger, but all.

Thread method

There is this method mainly for girls. But this does not mean that it is not suitable for children of the opposite sex. And it consists in the following. First, a screen 25x25 cm in size is made of cardboard. Either velvet paper or plain flannel is glued onto the cardboard. It would be nice to prepare a nice bag with a set of woolen or semi-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 with light movements of the index finger. From such threads you can prepare interesting stories. Develops imagination, sense of taste. Especially girls learn to skillfully select colors. Some thread colors are suitable for light flannel, and completely different colors for dark flannel. Thus begins the gradual path to the women's craft, needlework, which is very necessary for them.

Monotype method

Two words about this, unfortunately rarely used method. And in vain. Because he is fraught with a lot of tempting for preschoolers. In short, this is an image on cellophane, which is then transferred to paper. On smooth cellophane, I paint with paint using a brush, or a match with cotton wool, or a finger (no uniformity is needed). The paint should be thick and bright. And immediately, until the paint has dried, turn the cellophane over with the image down on white thick paper and, as it were, wet the drawing, and then lift it up. It turns out two drawings. Sometimes the image remains on cellophane, sometimes on paper.

Drawing on wet paper

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

tissue images

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

Volume application

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

Drawing with postcards

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

Learning to make a background

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

Collage

The concept itself explains the meaning of this method: several of the above are collected in it. In general, ideally, the following seems important to us: 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 children of 5-6 years old decided to draw, and for this he uses a bitmap (flowers), and the child will draw the sun with his finger, he will cut fruits and vegetables from postcards, depict the sky and clouds with fabrics, etc. There is no limit to improvement and creativity in visual activity. English teacher-researcher Anna Rogovin recommends using everything that is at hand for drawing exercises: draw with a cloth, paper napkin (folded many times); draw with dirty water, old tea leaves, coffee grounds, pomace from berries. It is also useful to paint cans and bottles, reels and boxes, etc.

Unusual ways of drawing

You can draw not only with ordinary paints and brushes. There are many unusual and fun ways to draw that your children will love and instill in them a love of creativity.

Hand and foot prints

You can draw not only with your fingers, but also with your palms and even legs. These interesting works can be made from the prints of arms and legs, if you apply a little imagination.

Ice cube drawing

You will need:
- Thick paper
- Tempera (or watercolor)
- Form for ice
- Toothpicks
How to draw:
Pour water into the mold and place in the freezer. When the water is half frozen, insert a toothpick into each cube and let the water freeze completely. Then take out the ice. You will use the cubes as brushes by holding them by the toothpicks.
On the paper, apply a few spots of different colors (either dry tempera or crumble watercolor) and draw on them with ice! For example, one and the same cube can cross all the spots of paint, allowing them to play intricately.

milk painting

You will need:
- A quarter cup of condensed milk
- Food colors
How to draw:
Mix condensed milk with paints, pour into separate containers (jars or molds) by color. The resulting paints must be applied in a thin layer, because. they take a long time to dry.

Shaving foam drawing

You will need:
- Shaving foam
- Food colors
- Aluminium foil
How to draw:
Tear off a long sheet of foil and apply a few "heaps" of shaving foam to it. Let the child choose the colors of the paints and mix them into the foam. Paints are ready, now you can paint with brushes or fingers. The main thing is to explain to the children that the foam should not be put in the mouth. After the drawing dries, the foam will create an interesting texture. After drawing, the foam is easily washed off the skin and any household surfaces.

Drawing with a toothbrush

You will need:
- Old toothbrush
- Dye
- Paper
How to draw:
It's very simple: a toothbrush serves as a brush. You can draw a face with a pencil on gray paper and "brush" his teeth with a toothbrush and white paint. And then paint the face.

Bead drawing

Cut out a piece of thick colored cardboard and place it in the bottom of a pie dish, tray, or similar. Put a few drops of paint on the cardboard, and then, while the paint is still wet, put some glass beads on top and roll them around - and see what happens!

Bubble painting

Mix some watercolor into the bubble soap solution. Lay drawing paper on the floor and ask your child to blow bubbles - they will sit on the paper and create fancy patterns.

Straw blowing

Dilute some paint and pour a small amount onto the paper, give your child a straw and let them blow out any pattern (just make sure the child blows on the paint, not suck it up).

Another way to draw with soap bubbles: in a glass with a colored soap-foaming solution, bubble up more foam and lean paper on top of it.

Frosty patterns on glass - we make and draw our own window, photo, description

If the frost has not reached your windows, then let's make our own window with a frosty pattern. Nothing worse than the real thing.
Materials needed: blue and white gouache, wide paintbrush, cocktail straw, glossy silver cardstock, pencil, glitter for decoration, masking tape 1.5 cm wide.
How we do:
1. Draw a window on the cardboard, stick masking tape along the contour.
2. Paint over the surface of the cardboard with blue gouache. There is a moment here: gouache cannot be diluted with water, otherwise too liquid paint will flow under the tape and the contours of the window will become fuzzy.

3. As soon as the blue paint dries, dilute the white gouache with water, take a straw and blow out frosty patterns.

4. After the frosty patterns have dried well, carefully remove the tape. You should get a window with frosty patterns on the glass.

5. Decorate the picture with sparkles.

Mirror drawing

Fold a sheet of paper in half, draw a simple shape on one half - or maybe just sprinkle a little paint. Then straighten the sheet and lay the second half on top of the painted one. Allow the ink to print and straighten again, and then study the resulting mirror image together.

Cut out a large piece of cardboard and place it on a table or floor. Place a piece of drawing paper on top. The cardboard will protect the surrounding surfaces from splashes. Then dilute the watercolors well, take a hard brush or toothbrush - and splatter the paint on the paper. Show your child that you can make beautiful splashes by running the bristles over a hard piece of paper or a wooden stick.

In the same way, you can make drawings using a stencil.

Place a stencil on colored paper. It can be various flowers, silhouettes of houses, trees. In a jar of yogurt, liquidly dilute the paint. Dip your toothbrush into the paint and run the ruler along the bristles of the brush towards you, spattering the paint around the silhouette. Try to have the entire background covered with specks. Remove the stencil and draw details on the “clean” part of the drawing. You can also use tree leaves as stencils.

Take an unnecessary spray bottle and fill it with water and paint - and go paint. To do this, it will be more convenient to take a large sheet of paper or even a piece of old wallpaper. It is best to draw outdoors like this.

Blotography

It consists in 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.

You will need gouache, a thick brush and paper (preferably 1/2 or 1/4 sheet).
Fold the paper in half and unfold it again. On one half, ask your child to put a few bold blots, strokes or curls. Now fold the sheet in half again and press firmly with your palm. Unfold the sheet carefully. You will see a bizarre pattern "What does your or my inkblot look like?", "Whom or what does it remind you of?" - these questions are very useful, because develop thinking and imagination. After that, without forcing the child, but showing, we recommend moving on to the next step - tracing or drawing the blot. The result can be a whole story.

bitmap

Children love anything non-traditional. Drawing with dots refers to unusual, in this case, techniques. For implementation, you can take a felt-tip pen, a pencil or an ordinary ear cleaning stick. But here, bitmaps are best obtained with paints.

You will need a separate stick for each color. With this technique, lilac or mimosa flowers are perfectly obtained. Draw twig lines with a felt-tip pen. And already make clusters of flowers with chopsticks. But this is already aerobatics! No less pleasure will bring the child and drawing simpler things - flowers and berries (stalks can be drawn with a felt-tip pen). And you can cut out a dress from paper (a scarf, a tablecloth, mittens) and decorate it with an ornament of dots.

For some reason, we all tend to think that if we paint with paints, then we must also use a brush. Not always. Foam rubber can come to the rescue. We advise you to make a variety of various small geometric figures out of it, and then attach them with a thin wire to a stick or pencil (not sharpened). The tool is ready. It turns out a large brush without hairs. The stick is held strictly perpendicular to the surface of the sheet, without tilt. Now you can dip it in paint and use the stamp method to draw red triangles, yellow circles, green squares (all foam rubber, unlike cotton wool, is well washed). At first, children will randomly draw geometric shapes. And then offer to make the simplest ornaments out of them - first from one type of figure, then from two, three.
The trace left by such a "brush" can imitate animal hair, tree crowns, snow. A stick with foam rubber is dipped in paint (the main thing is that there is not a lot of water), and the baby begins to cover the sheet with traces of it. Let him first just understand that with the help of the "magic wand" you can quickly and easily draw footprints. Then draw the branches of a tree or a bush with a black felt-tip pen, let the child finish the foliage with green, yellow, red or orange paint. Draw a simple contour of a bunny or a fox with a pencil, let the kid “stomp” it with his “magic tool” - the bunny and the fox will turn out fluffy, their fur will seem so disheveled that the baby will certainly want to touch it.

It is extremely interesting to work in this technique with a stencil.
Cut out an image in the middle of a thick sheet of cardboard, such as the head of a tiger cub or a bear. Attach the cardboard with the cut-out stencil to the album sheet and invite the child to “trample” that part of the album sheet that is visible through the stencil hole. After the child has done this, let the work dry, then paint the eyes, mouth, mustache, stripes with a brush.

Negative
Glue a sheet of white and a sheet of black paper so that you end up with a large sheet, one half of which is black and the other is white. Give the child black and white gouache and offer to draw the same simple drawing, first with white paint on black, then with black paint on white.

Gather some leaves and lay them out on a piece of paper. Prepare a well-diluted watercolor and a sponge. Dip the sponge into the paint and apply over the leaf, so that the area around it is painted. Then carefully remove the leaf.

Such an uncomplicated form of artistic creativity as non-traditional painting with leaf prints is great for small artists for whom the brush is still a difficult tool. It turns out that a seemingly ordinary leaf (maple, poplar, oak or birch) can turn into a tool for artistic creativity no worse than a brush.

What will we need?
Paper
Leaves of different trees (preferably fallen);
Gouache
Brushes.
Progress:
The child covers a piece of wood with paints of different colors, then puts it on the paper with the painted side to get a print. Each time a new leaf is taken. The resulting drawing is finished with paints as desired. This is how it turns out:

Picture in passe-partout technique

On the sheet, draw an apple, a fish or a car in the center of the sheet. And now you need to cut out the object that you drew along the contour. It turned out to be a passport. In pictures, only part of the image can be cropped. The fish has part of the body, tail, fins. Give your child a sheet of paper. Let the baby smear the paint, slap the palms on the sheet and leave marks. Stick a passe-partout on a sheet painted with crumbs. The kid will be very surprised and happy when he sees a multi-colored bright fish (car or girl).

"Figured" figurine

A very interesting way of drawing with a pencil, felt-tip pen, ballpoint pen according to pre-made stencils. Stencils can be of two types - some are cut inside the sheet, others are made from the sheet and separated from it. It is easier for small children to trace shapes embossed inside the sheet. Many squares and rulers have such patterns. Attaching them to the album sheet, you ask the baby to circle the shapes. Then you remove the stencil and together with it you come up with how you can finish drawing this or that shape. Children 4.5-5 years old will be able to circle single stencils cut out of cardboard. This is more difficult, because the hand does not hold well on the outside of the pattern and the baby draws extra lines. But you can interest children in the content of stencils: for boys, these are the silhouettes of cars and planes, for girls - animals, nesting dolls, bows and houses. Having circled the patterns, children can paint over their images with felt-tip pens and paints, hatch with various lines: straight, wavy, zigzag, with loops, wavy with sharp tops. Stencils can help when creating your own drawings, they will complement what the baby himself has created.

You can start a game: the child circles various objects, and you guess what it is. First, not all items can be circled. Finding them, the baby will understand what is the difference between voluminous and flat objects or things that have at least one even side, and those that do not. Secondly, it is not easy to circle this or that object on your own, without the help of an adult. And thirdly, in this game, the roles change: the baby confuses the parents, and the adults try to find the answer. All this pleases the child, providing him with a surge of creative forces.

Mysterious thread drawings

Mysterious drawings can be obtained as follows. A cardboard about 20x20 cm in size is taken. And it folds in half. Then a semi-woolen or woolen thread about 30 cm long is selected, its end is dipped in thick paint for 8-10 cm and clamped inside the cardboard. You should then move this thread inside the cardboard, and then take it out and open the cardboard. You can dye several threads in different colors at the same time. It turns out a chaotic image, which is examined, outlined and completed by adults with children. It is extremely useful to give names to the resulting images. This complex mental and speech work, combined with visual work, will contribute to the intellectual development of preschool children.

Threads can be drawn in other ways. Cut a woolen thread about 20 cm long, dip it in paint and give it to the baby. Let him run the thread across the sheet of paper as he pleases. Then do the same with another thread and new paint. Multi-colored lines, zigzags, stains will remain on the sheet. In a word, a beautiful abstraction.

Drawing with crayons

magic drawing method

This method is implemented like this. An image is drawn on white paper with the corner of a wax candle (a Christmas tree, a house, or maybe a whole plot). Then with a brush, and preferably with cotton wool or foam rubber, the paint is applied on top of the entire image. Due to the fact that the paint does not fall on the bold image with a candle - the drawing seems to appear suddenly before the eyes of the children, manifesting itself. You can get the same effect by first drawing with stationery 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 over a snowman painted with a candle with blue paint, and a boat with green paint. No need to worry if candles or soap start to crumble while painting. It depends on their quality.

Photocopy

We draw a drawing with a candle on a white sheet. Paint over with black ink.

Drawing small pebbles

strange patterns

Take whatman paper and a small orange (tangerine) or a ball, pour a little paint of a different color on a sheet and roll the ball along the sheet in different directions. Then "revive" the received.

Finger painting method

Here is another way to depict the world around us: with fingers, palm, fist, foot, and maybe even chin, nose. Not everyone will take such a statement seriously. Where is the line between prank and drawing? And why should we draw only with a brush or felt-tip pen? After all, a hand or individual fingers is such a help. Moreover, the index finger of the right hand obeys the child better than a pencil. Well, if the pencil is broken, the brush is wiped off, the felt-tip pens are over - but you want to draw. There is another reason: sometimes the theme just asks for a child's hand or finger. For example, a child will better draw a tree with his hands than with other tools. With his finger, he will draw out the trunk and branches, then (if it is autumn) he will apply yellow, green, orange paints to the inside of the hand and draw a crimson-mahogany tree on top. It is good to mix several colors and shades. For example, first apply yellow paint, and then brown or orange, it turns out fluffy!
Well, if we teach children to use their fingers rationally: not just one index finger, but all.

Monotopy method

Two words about this, unfortunately, rarely used method. And in vain. Because he is fraught with a lot of tempting for preschoolers. In short, this is an image on cellophane, which is then transferred to paper. On smooth cellophane I paint with paint using a brush, or a match with cotton wool, or a finger (no uniformity is needed). The paint should be thick and bright. And immediately, until the paint has dried, turn the cellophane over with the image down on white thick paper and, as it were, wet the drawing, and then lift it up. It turns out two drawings. Sometimes the image remains on cellophane, sometimes on paper.

Drawing under the film

We squeeze out the paint onto cardboard or paper, put the film on top and smooth it with cotton wool, then sharply pull the film away. In this way, the sunset, the sea, the fire are good ...

Drawing on wet paper

Until recently, it was believed that you can only draw on dry paper, because the paint is sufficiently diluted with water. But there are a number of objects, plots, images that are better to draw on wet paper. We need ambiguity, vagueness, for example, if the child wants to depict the following topics: "City in the fog", "I had dreams", "It's raining", "Night city", "Flowers behind the curtain", etc. You need to teach a preschooler to make the paper a little wet. If the paper is too wet, the drawing may not work. Therefore, it is recommended to soak a ball of cotton wool in clean water, wring it out and draw it either over the entire sheet of paper, or (if required) only over a separate part. And the paper is ready to produce vague images.

Drawing with postcards

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

Whose footprint

Another way of drawing, or rather, printing, is based on the ability of many objects to leave colorful prints on paper. You take a potato, cut it in half and cut out a square, a triangle, a rhombus, a flower or something interesting from one half. Moreover, one side of the print should be flat for applying to the paper, and you will hold on to the other side with your hand. Then you or a child dip such a signet in paint (preferably gouache) and apply it to paper. As you can guess, it leaves an imprint. With the help of these prints, you can make beads, ornaments, patterns, mosaics.
Not only potatoes can serve as a stamp, but also bottle caps, caps from felt-tip pens, buttons, small boxes, etc.
You can try to depict something according to the principle of designing from different parts. For example, a car (coil - wheels, cubes - body and window); the castle of the sorceress, animals, etc.

You can paint the wheels of a toy car with paint and drive it around on paper.
An interesting print in the form of a rose is obtained from the remains of a head of Peking (Chinese) cabbage.

salty drawings

But what if you paint with glue, and sprinkle salt on top of these areas? Then you get amazing snow pictures. They will look more impressive if they are performed on blue, blue, pink colored paper. Try it, it's very exciting!

tooth paint

Or let's create winter landscapes in another way - by painting with toothpaste. Beforehand, the kid needs to be explained that this is a creative search, and such use of toothpaste does not give him the right to squeeze it out on the floor, shelves and tables. Together with the baby, outline with a pencil the light contours of trees, houses, snowdrifts. Slowly squeezing out the toothpaste, walk it along all the outlined contours. Such work must be dried and it is better not to put it in a folder along with other drawings. For creativity, it is best to use a domestic product - it dries faster.

Relief drawing

Flour is added to the paint, applied to the sheet. The cardboard strip is cut into teeth and we draw patterns along and across. Cut out a shape from a dried sheet, for example a vase. We draw flowers on a white sheet, and then glue them. You can draw with a stick, toothpick, fork, match.

glue picture

We squeeze glue onto the image on paper, let it dry, and then paint it over with paint, we get a relief.

Like an artist to an artist

And here is a very unusual way! You need to get a large sheet of paper. You ask the baby to lie on such a sheet and circle it. Of course, it is better that it fits all (this can be achieved by gluing two or three sheets of whatman paper) or, in extreme cases, to fit the torso and head. You circled the baby, and now his time has come - let him try to decorate the silhouette: draw eyes, mouth, hair, jewelry, clothes. If the child is small, then do this work together - the kid offers, and you, admiring his imagination, draw with him.

rainy fantasy
Another option for unconventional drawing is as follows: during rain or snowfall, you boldly open the window and expose a sheet of paper for less than a minute, holding it horizontally. You probably guessed that drops of rain or snow will remain on the leaf. And this is what we were striving for. Bad weather tracks can now be traced and turned into fabulous creatures. They can also be connected to each other, guessing what kind of image is obtained.

Point drawing

An adult prepares a drawing scheme in advance, placing contour points. They say to the child: “Do you want to be surprised? Then connect the dots with each other in order!” Offer to finish the resulting contour, color it, come up with a plot and a name.

Picture from both sides

You will need a cardboard sheet, a wide brush, paper clips, colored pencils. First you need to paint over a sheet of cardboard with any paint (an old cardboard folder will do). Immediately, before the paint is dry, place a sheet of plain white paper (preferably writing paper) on top. Attach the paper with paper clips and let the child draw something with a colored pencil on a white sheet. If you want, you can use a coloring book, but the drawing should be simple - some kind of object. When the drawing is finished, unfasten and remove the paper. See what happened - on the side that was pressed against the folder, we got a color picture with a convex, as if imprinted pattern.

Take a thick paint that is not diluted with water (it is better to use acrylic or gouache) and draw a colored spot. Scratch the lines with a piece of cardboard or crochet hook. Or you can cut out the cardboard with cloves and scratch the scallops in the paint. Crochet through different curls. With the edge of the cardboard, extrude the lines crosswise. Make prints with the cap of a felt-tip pen. After the child has mastered this technique, you can begin to create a picture. To do this, apply paint of different colors on several sheets of paper and scratch the surface in different ways. Now assemble the composition. For example, cut a pond from a piece with scallops, a sky with clouds from curls, make a snake from a scaly surface, and so on. Paste the cut out elements on a blank sheet of paper.

We draw with gouache using the poke method

You will need gouache, a brush, landscape sheets. The child holds a brush in his hands and puts it perpendicularly on the paper. Show how your brush jumps! With this poke method, you can draw a salute, you can color a fluffy cat (the cat should be drawn in advance with a felt-tip pen or pencil), you can also color flowers.

English teacher-researcher Anna Rogovin recommends using everything that is at hand for drawing exercises: draw with a cloth, paper napkin (folded many times); draw with dirty water, old tea leaves, coffee grounds, pomace from berries. It is also useful to paint cans and bottles, reels and boxes, etc.
