Every year at the beginning of April, schoolchildren are introduced to this Russian holiday like Cosmonautics Day. This date is famous for the first human flight into space. To make it more interesting for children to learn this topic, usually hold competitions for best drawing for Cosmonautics Day. " What to draw for April 12? - This question interests many parents and their children.

I have collected a bunch of interesting and modern ideas for drawings that can be repeated by children of different ages, from primary classes to the elders. Some ideas are accompanied by step-by-step lessons. I hope you find it for yourself

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.

In a recent lesson I showed:

Satellite

How to draw artificial satellite I found colored pencils on the website prodelkino.ru.

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, which are created mechanically, thinking about something else. Drawing space objects in doodle style looks just right. I'll give you 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!

IN different time The children and I conducted various activities on the topic of Space; links to some of them will be at the end of the article and in. And today I invite you and your children to arm yourself with pencils and paints and go paint space!

Hooray! I announce the opening new section “Learning to Draw” and I invite you to meet the artist Julia, who shared her drawing skills with us.

How to draw space step by step

Drawings on the theme of space are a common April assignment in schools and kindergartens. Julia offers us two options space theme on different ages: for preschoolers and primary school students.

I know that many parents are categorically against templates and examples in drawing. But I am also convinced that in order to learn to draw, sometimes you need a push, an example, which, when embodied, the child will believe in himself and begin to reveal his capabilities and talents. Shall we try?

Drawing “Rocket in space” for children 4-5 years old.

The drawing is so simple and easy that it seems to me that it does not need additional descriptions. However, if you prefer the video format of the lesson, then watch this video:

Drawing on the theme “Space” for children 6-7 years old.

And here is the video MK of the rocket’s drawing, posted on ours:

These are the simple and accessible drawings about space that the artist Julia offered us today. And I am grateful to her for her beautiful creativity.

What do you think of these drawings about space? And what do you and your children like to draw on a given topic? By the way, you can send your drawings for this MK to me by email, I will post them in this article.

Even before the visit kindergarten Kids 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 glow blue, others glow red. They are 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

Called Pluto.

"Every atom of our body
was once a star."

A week ago on our creative Instagram @miftvorchestvo we launched a competition for the best completion of the task from the notebook “642 ideas on what to draw”. The task sounded simple - space. Many creative and imaginative works were published for the competition. You can see them all by tag. We publish best works and give step-by-step master class how to learn to draw space.

Are they really cool? 🙂

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 spreads 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.
