“You don’t remember a big country that you traveled and got to know.

You remember the Motherland as you saw it as a child.”

K. Simonov "Motherland"

Modern researchers consider the national-regional component as a fundamental factor in the integration of social and pedagogical conditions in the patriotic and civic education of preschool children. At the same time, the emphasis is on nurturing love for one’s home, nature, and the culture of the small Motherland.

Introducing children to family edge: with historical, cultural, national, geographical, natural features forms in them such character traits that will help them become a patriot and citizen of their Motherland. After all, vivid impressions of one’s native nature and the history of one’s native land, received in childhood, often remain in a person’s memory for the rest of his life.

We live in an ancient Borisoglebsk city, named after Saints Boris and Gleb. Small quiet streets, beautiful squares, Urban park of culture and recreation, the Vorona River - everyone can name their favorite place in city. Our kindergarten students also have such places. The children, together with their teachers and parents, decided to draw the most beautiful and “famous” sights of Borisoglebsk.

In their drawings, the children drew sights and monuments that are located in city.

Another popular place in the city was easily recognizable in the drawings. city ​​- fountain.

The children also drew their favorite vacation spots - a kindergarten, playgrounds, and the banks of the Vorona and Khopra rivers.

And, of course, my favorite place for entertainment is Urban park of culture and recreation.

Of course, you want to master the initial skills of urban landscape, since you are on this page. Well, you're just at the right place. This is where you will find the most detailed instructions on how to draw a city. Moreover, the first part of the master class is devoted to two-dimensional drawing, and the second gives the basics of a three-dimensional image, as they say now, in 3D format.

The secret... is in geometry

Have you ever wondered why even the most inexperienced viewer is hypnotized by the sight of a painted city? There is no mysticism in this. The secret is that the human brain loves order, system, repeatability of lines. He finds it breathtakingly beautiful. This rule is fully consistent with symmetry and asymmetry, the severity of lines, the smoothness of circles and the accuracy of angles. Geometry, in a word. You will do absolutely the right thing if, in addition to a pencil, an eraser and a thick sheet of paper (for drawings), you stock up on a ruler.

Lesson 1: "High-rise buildings"

To understand how to draw a city, just follow the illustrations. Repeat the details of each step. The gray lines will “suggest” new shapes that should be drawn at the moment.

Just two rectangles of different heights (future skyscrapers) - and the beginning of the picture has been made:

Draw a couple more skyscrapers:

Add rectangular elements for the facades of the background buildings:

Draw the pictures of the house furthest from the foreground:

Pay attention to the most inconspicuous components of the architectonics of the drawing:

Draw some small fragments, focus on the details:

Despite the fact that the windows in the picture are the tiniest details, they are far from being of secondary importance. Carefully, under the ruler, draw each of them, and you will not regret the time spent:

Remove all extra lines. This is what you should end up with:

Like? It's only the beginning! 3D graphics are coming!

Lesson 2: How to Draw a City with Perspective

To achieve a volumetric effect, you need to follow simple rules of perspective. In order for the drawing to become dynamic, you first need to determine the horizon line - the place where the sky meets the ground, and the vanishing point - the area in which objects shrink and disappear.

Here, take a look at this one in which the perspective “runs away” into the distance:

And here is the drawing and the final version, where the perspective tends upward:

And the master class will show you how to draw a city with two vanishing points:

Divide the sheet in half with a vertical line. Mark vanishing points on the horizon that are equidistant from the vertical on both sides. Extend vertical working lines from them to the central part, as shown in the figure:

Using light movements, mark barely noticeable auxiliary lines. Add three parallel features, and the outline of the first, key building appears in front of you:

Notice how the buildings are positioned, moving away from the viewer towards the horizon. Label each:

Now is the time to finish drawing doors, windows, signs and other significant details. Remember, the more elements (pillars, sidewalks, pedestrian paths, even traffic lights), the more naturalistic the picture. When finished, erase all unnecessary lines and draw the contours well. Add shadows and your drawing will come to life. Don't forget to take into account the direction of the sun's rays when shading. The most illuminated places should be the least painted.

That's how you learned how to draw a city in volume. In fact, there can be not only two points of convergence, but also more. Five, for example. Then your drawing will look as if the city was photographed with a fish-eye lens. In this case, the image takes on a convex appearance, as if the houses had the intention of jumping out of the picture.

Clue

The more unexpected the perspective and artist when looking at the urban landscape, the more fascinating and lively the picture turns out. No less interesting are the motifs on the theme of the future. How to draw a city of the future? There can be no clear answer on this matter. For the created landscape is a figment of the artist’s imagination. Who can know what pictures appear before his mind's eye? But there is only one basis, and we just told you about it and showed it. Try it, create it! And who knows, maybe it will turn out to be not even fiction, but a prediction...
