The little foxes have been drawing enthusiastically all day today. Tell me, have you ever heard of drawings on crumpled paper? It turns out that it is very simple and incredibly interesting! And all you need for this is paint and thin paper... Read more in our master class.

Usually we paint with paints on a smooth, even sheet of whatman paper. This is ideal. But the fact that it should be smooth and even is for sure. But no! You can draw the same thing on crumpled paper. Moreover, an unusual effect is obtained. An imitation of cracks appears. It’s as if the picture was painted several centuries ago and the paint on it is cracked. Working in this technique with my students is what we call “antique paintings.” How does this work? This will be discussed in this master class.

To draw on crumpled paper you will need:

Thin sheet (such as photocopier paper)
- watercolor paints
- soft brush (number according to your taste, which one you prefer to paint)
- a jar of water, a graphite pencil (simple)
- eraser

How to draw on crumpled paper

For work we need thin paper, because... we will need to crush it. And this is difficult to do with a thick Whatman sheet. When crumpled, whatman paper can crack and tear. But we don't need this. Xerox paper is ideal for this type of work. And the writing paper is too thin. But, as an option, you can conduct an experiment with your child: try to do work using this technique on different types of paper (writing, photocopier, Whatman paper, watercolor, cardboard). And draw a conclusion which paper is best suited for this technique. This way, the child will also become familiar with different types of paper.

We draw a drawing on a sheet of paper with a simple pencil. The drawing should consist of large details. Small ones using this technique will be very difficult to complete in color.

We crumple the leaf. We crumple it, not fold it. But be careful so that it doesn't tear.

Smooth the sheet on the table with your palms.

Let's start painting with paints. Watercolor is suitable because it requires a lot of water, unlike, for example, gouache. And this work will require a lot of water.

Gradually we color the drawing detail by detail. You need to use a lot of water and a lot of paint on your brush. Their excess will flow into the folds. And after drying, the folds will become brighter compared to other places. This is how cracks appear. We painted this work entirely with paints, i.e. no white spaces were left. There is another option.

Initial stages: pencil drawing, crumpling is done in the same way. But in color we draw a little differently. Use a lot of paint on the brush and less water. When painting, do not press too hard on the brush; paint superficially. This will leave white unpainted areas.

You can choose any subjects for such drawings.

After the works have dried, it is advisable to frame them. To do this, cut strips of thick paper 2-3 cm wide and glue them along the edge of the work.

We also suggest trying it with a butterfly. Enjoy your creative work with your children!

The drawing master class is intended for classes with children in art studios and fine arts classes. You can work in this technique both from life and from memory. Images of trees, leaves, vegetables and flowers look great.

Purpose: performing a competitive work in fine art on the theme “Mirror of Nature”, which will subsequently become a wonderful decoration for the interior of the room.

For work we will need:

• A3 paper (for the first time you can take A4). I advise you to try it on paper of different textures. To begin with, you can take a regular landscape sheet
• Watercolor;
• Palette;
• Squirrel or kolinsky brushes (set);
• A jar of water.

Progress:

1. Use a pencil on smooth dry paper to sketch the selected object. We must try to work with thin lines - cobwebs, and if there is such a need to use an eraser, do it carefully, without spoiling the texture of the paper.

2. The sheet with the finished pencil sketch must be crumpled, crumpled with the image inward, so as not to damage the surface of the drawing and not to stain it.

3. Gently straighten the crumpled sheet of paper on the table with your hands.

4. It is necessary to decide in advance on the color scheme of the future work. I suggest using a limited palette. The coloring of the future work will be cold, and accordingly the colors will predominate: purple, blue, lilac, light blue. Start painting with light tones, gradually moving towards darker and more saturated ones. It is better to work on slightly dampened paper, so the colors will smoothly merge with each other according to your idea. You need to wet the fragment of the drawing that is to be done next.

5. If necessary, you can return to the elements of the picture already made in color to enhance the light and shade and add different shades. By working with a limited number of colors, we concentrate on creating a three-dimensional image, rather than racking our brains over choosing a color.

6. In order to highlight the center of the composition, it is necessary to create a background in calmer, cooler tones. Work the cores of the flowers with warm colors using the “poke” method, intensifying the color in the center.

7. Paint over the crocus leaves one by one. For drawing leaves, all shades of green and some cold notes are suitable. You can use 2 techniques: drawing on pre-wetted paper, and part of the drawing on dry paper. I decided to make dew drops on the leaves of the crocuses. To do this, you need to leave these places unpainted.

8. To create an aerial perspective, it is necessary to more carefully work out the flowers in the foreground. During work, do not forget about chiaroscuro. Therefore, on the shadow side from future dew drops, we draw falling shadows. While working in color, the paint interestingly flows into the created “cracks”, creating a beautiful craquelure.

9. It's time to make water droplets in color. To do this, from the shadow side, using a gentle emerald color, draw a shadow on the drop itself. Attention! We leave the outlines of the drop unpainted.

On the illuminated side we show reflexes of purple and golden color. Leave the highlight untouched.

10.Now the drawing must be dried and ironed on the reverse side using an iron.

The work is ready. Many cracks allegedly formed on the surface; the picture is similar to the paintings of artists of the last century.

Thank you for your attention! New creative victories to everyone!

The method of drawing with crumpled paper is considered quite new and modern. With its help, absolutely any child can feel like a real artist, because this technique allows you to improve the quality of all work performed, and therefore raise self-esteem.

Technique for drawing with crumpled paper on a sheet in kindergarten

Drawing with crumpled paper in kindergarten is a new, interesting, unusual activity that can maximize the child’s creative abilities. It also perfectly develops fine motor skills. These are wonderful exercises for children's fingers. Drawing with crumpled paper also helps develop imagination in children.

Landscape with crumpled paper in a preschool educational institution

What is it, the advantages of the method

It is believed that drawing with crumpled paper is a new, modern method, but this is partly not true. This technique already existed several centuries ago, but was later forgotten, perhaps only to be revived again in the 21st century. This technique is used not only by small children, but also by experienced artists who paint in retro style.

The method has quite a lot of advantages:

• Even a student in the junior group can make the paper ball needed for the work. But children love to do everything on their own; they enjoy the process of crumpling paper;
• The child can independently prepare colored water for drawing. Senior pupils of preschool educational institutions fully cope with this task; children need the help of a teacher;
• the prints turn out blurry, sometimes even unexpected, which contributes to the development of fantasy and imagination;
• the ability to make smooth transitions from one color to another to get a more interesting picture.

Lumps of crumpled paper

Note! Thanks to drawing with crumpled paper, the drawing becomes unusual and textured. This type of drawing helps children better remember and distinguish colors, and create their own original images.

Why drawing with crumpled paper?

Children love this method very much because it does not require any clear boundaries or lines, and you can draw the way you like and what you like. After becoming familiar with this type of drawing in kindergarten, children continue to use it at home with pleasure.

This technique perfectly helps children develop their creative abilities; it opens up scope for imagination and encourages new experiments. All kids love to try something new, to see how it will be if they “do it this way” and “if they do it differently.” Their whole life consists of experiments, and this is one of them.

Paintings made using this technique can become a real masterpiece and decorate the interior of any children's room. After all, at the beginning no one knows what exactly will happen.

What tools and materials will be needed for the job?

To draw with crumpled paper you will need:

• sketchbook;
• gouache or watercolor (the latter is preferable because it dissolves better in water and creates softer color transitions);
• small vessels for drawing. You need as many of them as the colors you plan to use. Disposable tableware and even toy sets are also suitable;
• soft paper or napkins.

Important! There is no need to use newspapers for drawing, since printing ink, when wet, can leave unwanted marks on the drawing.

Since the set of tools needed to complete the process is very small, the technique can be used not only by kindergarteners, but also by primary school students, as well as by all those who want to use something new and unusual in their creative process.

Stages of work completion

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Take several sheets of paper and crumple them into lumps.
2. On slightly damp paper, mark the main color (this will be the background).
3. Dip the crumpled paper into containers of paint of the desired color and press them briefly onto the sheet.
4. Continue working until the image turns out the way it was originally intended.
5. With the help of paints and a brush, you can define clearer contours or complement the drawing.

Examples of work performed

Such activities will be interesting not only for children, but also for adults. Therefore, preschool teachers can conduct a joint activity between children and parents - drawing with crumpled paper.

Note! In such lessons, you should not offer to complete complex paintings; something simple is enough, which everyone can definitely handle.

Flowers

Everything is quite elementary:

1. First of all, you need to crumple the paper until you get medium-sized lumps.
2. Using a brush or pencil/felt-tip pen, draw the stems of the future flower.
3. Complete the design with thin twigs and leaves.
4. Dip the lumps into a container with the chosen color.
5. Form the petals and flower core by pressing the lumps onto a sheet of paper.

Bouquet of flowers

Lilac

And here, too, everything is simple:

1. Prepare paper. A4 format is best suited for children 5-6 years old.
2. Prepare paints of purple, blue, white, yellow, green and black. It's better if it's gouache.
3. Prepare a flat, hard brush to paint the background.
4. Prepare a thin brush for decorating small details of the design.
5. Prepare a palette, water and soft crumpled paper.
6. Paint the background with a brush, using more water to achieve a blurred effect and to avoid sharp transitions.
7. Draw the vase.
8. Using a thin brush, draw black branches on which the inflorescences will be located.
9. Blot lumps of soft paper with purple paint and form lilac flowers.
10. Add some white (again using crumpled paper).
11. If desired, add additional details to the drawing, for example, green leaves. This can be done either with crumpled paper or with a thin brush.

Bouquet of lilacs

Dandelion

This is the simplest drawing that even the youngest pupils, who just came to kindergarten for the first time this year, can handle.

1. Use a wide brush to draw the background - blue sky and green grass. You can add white clouds.
2. Use a brush to paint green plant stems.
3. Prepare crumpled paper and yellow and/or white paints.
4. Dip the paper into paint.
5. Attach to the drawn stems. Fluffy dandelions are ready.

Dandelions

Scenery

For children aged five years and older, drawing a landscape using crumpled paper can be an easy and fun activity. Thanks to this technique, the children will be able to depict spring, autumn, and summer. But the simplest and most beautiful will be the winter landscape.

1. Using a wide, hard brush, paint the sky, making a gradual transition from the darkest tones to light, white shades.
2. Paint snow on top of the first layer. Here everything is the other way around - the bottom part of the picture will become the lightest.
3. Dip crumpled pieces of paper into white paint and use them to form clouds.
4. Draw a horizon line with a brush.
5. Using a thin brush, draw the outlines of the Christmas trees.
6. Use crumpled paper to carefully create snowy silhouettes of fir trees. This is the most painstaking process and must be approached very carefully.
7. To draw small Christmas trees use small lumps, for large ones - large ones.

Winter landscape

Notes on drawing with crumpled paper in the preparatory group of kindergarten

Title: Snowdrop.

Goal: development of fine motor skills in children of the preparatory group of a preschool educational institution.

• contribute to the development in children of the ability to classify painting by genre;
• introduce students to the new technique of drawing with crumpled paper;
• promote the development of fine motor skills of the fingers in the process of crumpling paper;
• teach children to draw a snowdrop based on the proposed template;
• to cultivate a caring attitude and love for nature.

Snowdrop

Required material: reproductions of landscapes by famous masters, illustrations for the fairy tale “The Twelve Months”, examples of children’s work (presentation slides), a diagram of drawing a snowdrop in stages, brushes, watercolors, sketchbooks.

Progress of the lesson:

Educator: Hello guys! Today we will take a trip to an amazing place. Can you guess where on your own? I'll give you a hint:

This place is so wonderful!

Everything is very interesting there,

There are pictures in a row there,

They tell you to look at them.

What is that place called?

We have one answer! This is... (painting exhibition, museum, gallery).

Q: Do you want to visit a real art gallery? (Yes!) Then let's first remember how to behave there (be quiet, don't touch the paintings on display). Let's go to a real gallery (the presentation is turned on, the children carefully examine the paintings).

Note! All the paintings presented are landscapes, with the exception of one. It shows a portrait.

V.: So, here you and I found ourselves in an art gallery. Today I will give you a tour of it. Just look how many paintings there are! Where do they come from in this exhibition hall, do you think? (Children express their guesses).

V.: Look carefully at the paintings. What do they have in common? (they depict nature)

V.: Correct! What are these paintings called in one word? What genre do they belong to? (scenery)

V.: That's right! Is there an extra one among these paintings? (Yes) How is it different from the others? (it depicts a person).

Q: What genre does this painting belong to? (Portrait)

V.: Well done!

A new image appears on the screen - a fragment from a famous cartoon.

Cartoon frame

Q: Guys, what fairy tale do you think this picture is from? ("Twelve months").

V.: Yes! You are right again. Let's remember what this fairy tale is about. (The children, with the help of the teacher, remember the plot of the work; the teacher draws attention to the flowers, for which the evil stepmother sent her stepdaughter).

Q: What do you think could have happened next when the girl returned home? Did she like the snowdrops? (Yes!) She liked them so much that as soon as her stepmother fell asleep, she took some paint, a white sheet, a few pieces of paper and began to draw these beautiful flowers. Since she had no brushes, she painted with crumpled scraps of old paper. And today we will try to draw snowdrops in the same way! And as soon as the drawings are dry, we will set up a real art gallery in the classroom, displaying your works.

Next, the teacher distributes the materials necessary for drawing, a template for step-by-step execution of the drawing appears on the slide, the teacher comments in detail on each part, and the children carry out the work under his strict guidance.

Note! Before work, finger exercises are performed.

The teacher suggests taking a pencil in your palms and rolling it out with both hands. Then touch the pencil with each finger in turn, pressing either weaker or stronger.

Stages of work:

1. Use a brush to paint a blue background. The teacher reminds that to get a blue tint you need to mix blue and white.
2. Draw thin stems and leaves of future snowdrops.
3. Crumple the pieces of paper.
4. Dip them in white paint.
5. Draw white snowdrop flowers.
6. If desired, you can use smaller lumps of paper to depict falling snowflakes (in the fairy tale, this happened in winter).

V.: Thank you all very much for your work! Now we will display the finished drawings in the office and admire them.

The lesson is over.

Important! In older groups, the drawings gradually become more complex. The teacher suggests drawing other images using this technique. The most common are drawings of animals: cows, bears, etc.

Example of work

Drawing with crumpled paper helps develop fine motor skills and a child’s imagination, starting from early kindergarten age. This kind of work will not leave any child indifferent. Thanks to this technique, children can develop an interest in painting in general and develop themselves in this direction.

Non-traditional drawing techniques for older preschoolers.

Technique of drawing with crumpled paper.

Alekseeva Anastasia Igorevna, social teacher MBDOU No. 20, Vladimir
Purpose:the drawing can be used as interior decoration. This master class is intended for kindergarten teachers, parents and children. Children's age is 5-7 years.

Target:introducing children to the technique of drawing with crumpled paper.
Tasks:
- Development of creative abilities in preschool children;
- Foster a caring attitude towards nature;
- Development of attention, thinking and taste;
- Education of accuracy.
Material:sheets of paper, gouache, brushes, jars of water.

Drawing with crumpled paper is a very entertaining drawing technique that gives room for imagination and freedom for little hands. Even the process of preparing for a lesson is exciting. Children can happily crush the paper lumps that will actually do the work themselves.

Stages of work:

1. Take several sheets of paper and crumple them into lumps.

2. Having first applied water to a sheet of paper, we begin to set the background.

3.Dip the lumps into plates of paint and press the lumps onto a sheet of paper, leaving imprints in the form of clouds and grass. You can draw the outlines of the desired image in advance and then print it.

4.Dip the lumps into red paint and leave marks on the paper in the form of poppies.

5.Give an outline to the blades of grass in the field.

6. We finish our work.

The work is ready!

(“finger painting”, fingergraphy, “fingers - palette”)

You can come up with a rule: each finger has a certain color; it’s especially good to draw when you don’t have a brush at hand. Gouache paints are convenient for this, which are poured into flat plates, lids from jars of gouache.

1. By dipping your fingertips in paint you can draw: “New Year’s confetti”, “Scattered beads”, “Lights on the Christmas tree”, “Merry peas”, “Traces”, “Patterns for dresses”, “Fluffy snow”, “Sunny bunnies”, “Dandelions”, “Fluffed willow”, “Sweet Berries”, “Bunches of Rowan”, “Flowers for Mom”, “Whistling Haze”.

2. If you dip the SIDE OF YOUR FINGER in paint and apply it to paper, you get “Traces” of larger animals, “Summer and autumn leaves”, “Vegetable salad”, “Holiday leaves”.

If, therefore, you DRAW LINES OF DIFFERENT LENGTHS, picking up paint again, you can draw more complex objects: trees, birds, animals, landscape pictures and even decorative patterns, combining with drawing with your fingertip.

3. CLEAN YOUR HAND INTO A FIST AND PLACE IT ON THE PAINT (diluted in an old plate), move it from side to side so that the paint is well smeared on your hand, then LIFT IT AND APPLY IT TO THE PAPER - large prints remain “flower buds”, “baby animals”, “birds”, and etc.

4. If you attach the side of your fist to a sheet of paper and then make prints, then marks will appear on the sheet. "caterpillars", "dragons", "monster body", fairy trees and more.

ADVIСE: Before you start, make several prints of different parts of your hand on a separate piece of paper to get an idea of ​​what shapes you can get. Switch hands so that your fingerprints and fist prints curve in different directions.

Monotype

You will need gouache or watercolor, white or black paper, photographic paper (lightened), cellophane, glass, plastic film.

Types of work:

1. A sheet of paper is folded in half. STAINS (warm or cold) are applied to one of the halves; the second half is pressed against the first, carefully smoothed out in different

sides and turns around. Guess what happened? Mirror image (butterfly, flowers, animal faces, etc.). YOU CAN GIVE THE READY SHAPE OF A BUTTERFLY and also fill one side with spots (there was an enchanted white butterfly - invite the children to cast the spell - color it using the monotype method);

2. A SHEET OF PAPER CAN BE FOLDED NOT ONLY VERTICALLY, BUT ALSO HORIZONTALLY - you get symmetrical images or doubles (twin brothers, “two chickens”, “funny bear cubs”, “city on the river” - draw a city on paper folded horizontally, open it - the city is reflected on the river), “masks” for the New Year and other national holidays.

3. Moisten a paper napkin with diluted paint and press various shapes of objects - blanks - onto it. Then, print them on a blank sheet of paper or a smooth surface.

4. Spots or a gouache pattern are applied to glass, a mirror, a plastic board, paper, or plastic film; a sheet of paper is placed on top and printed. Start with a small piece of paper, then the size of a landscape sheet, etc. The topics of work are very diverse: “Life in the North”, “Aquarium”, “Vase with fruits and vegetables”, “Forest”.

Diatypia

You need a cardboard folder, A LAYER OF PAINT (gouache) is APPLIED onto ITS SURFACE with a rag swab. Then a white sheet of paper is placed on top and drawn on it with a pointed stick or pencil (but do not press on the paper with your hands!). The result is an imprint - a mirror repetition of the drawing.

Children like landscape pictures “Night in the Forest”, “Night City”, “Fireworks” and others. It all depends on the color of the chosen gouache, i.e. the color palette has already been thought out.

Tamponation

You need to make tampons from gauze or a piece of foam rubber.

1. The palette can be a clean stamp pillow or just a square piece of flat foam rubber. This exciting activity for children gives them the skills to gently and lightly touch paper with a swab of paint of any color in order to draw something fluffy, light, airy, transparent, warm, hot, cold (clouds, sun, sun bunnies, dandelions - portraits of the sun, snowdrifts, sea waves, etc.)

2. If you take large swabs, you can draw a lot of curious fluffy chickens, ducklings, funny bunnies, snowmen, bright fireflies (finishing the necessary small details).

3. At an older age, you can combine this technique with the “ STENCIL" First, cut out a stencil, then, pressing it with your fingers to a sheet of paper, trace it along the contour with frequent light touches of the swab. Carefully lift the stencil - what a clear and clear mark remains on the paper! You can repeat it again in a different color and in a different place as many times as you like!

Stamps, signet

They allow you to repeatedly depict the same object, making different compositions from its prints, decorating invitation cards, postcards, napkins with them, "shawls"(Pavlovo-Posad), “flowers on the lawn”, “autumn beds”, landscape pictures, etc.

It’s easy to make stamps and seals from vegetables (potatoes, carrots), an eraser, draw the intended design on the cut or end and cut off everything unnecessary. Make a cut on the other side of the vegetable or eraser and insert a match without sulfur - you get a comfortable handle for the finished signet.

Now you need to press it to the paint pad, and

then - to a sheet of paper, you should get an even and clear print. You can create any composition, both decorative and narrative.

Older children create more complex compositions, adding the necessary details to the prints and expanding the items for the prints: the soles of children's boots with a corrugated pattern (you can depict a huge sunflower, a giant tree, etc.). Large prints are especially good for decorating a hall and summer playgrounds.

Signets can be replaced with DRY LEAVES from various trees and shrubs (leaves for herbarium). Prepare gouache, brushes or a piece of foam rubber, a sheet of paper. Come up with what we want to draw (summer, winter, autumn or spring), i.e. choose color. Turn the dry sheet with the left (convex) side up, paint it well, then carefully turn the painted side onto the paper, remembering the composition, and lightly press with your finger, remove - we get a print, an imprint, similar to the silhouette of a tree or shrub (if it is not a large round leaf forms). Draw the trunk a little, and the branches are the imprinted veins of the leaf.

Using this technique, you can teach children to navigate on a sheet of paper, think through a two- or three-plan composition, laying out dry leaves on a sheet of paper, and then painting and printing them.

Drawing on damp (wet) paper

A sheet of paper is moistened with clean water (a swab, foam rubber or a wide brush), and then an image is applied with a brush or fingers.

You can paint with watercolors on damp paper, starting from the younger age group. Tell the children about the artist - animal painter E.I. CHARUSHIN, who used such a means of expression, depicting fluffy little animals, chicks, funny and curious, like small children. Look at the books he wrote and illustrated.

And there is a lot for such equipment: "Magic living clouds", which turn from lines and spots into various animals, “Once upon a time there were fish in an aquarium”, “Bunnies and bunnies”, “Little good friend (puppy, kitten, chicken, etc.)”.

To prevent the paper from drying out longer, place it on a damp cloth. Sometimes images appear foggy, blurred by rain. If you need to draw details, you need to wait until the drawing dries or put very thick paint on the brush.

Sometimes ANOTHER METHOD OF BLURRY IMAGE is used. Take a bowl of water, draw lines on a sheet of paper, for example, the outlines of autumn trees, with a blue line (sky) in the upper part. Then place this sheet face down on the surface of the water, wait a little and sharply lift it up. Water spreads over the paper, blurring the paint, color falls on color, resulting in a bright and unusual picture. When it dries, you can additionally draw in the necessary details, for example, branches, trunk, i.e. any necessary details. You can also highlight the outline with a thin brush and black paint.

Another option - STRETCHING PAINT - can be suggested to children when they are just starting to paint their own picture, landscape or plot and they need to fill the entire sheet, the entire space. Or when a child knows that he will have a two-plane composition and the sky will occupy a certain place. To do this, take the desired color of paint and draw a line at the top of the sheet, then stretch it and wash it horizontally with water.

Drawing on crumpled (pre-crumpled) paper

This technique is interesting because in the places where the paper is folded (where its structure is disrupted), the paint, when painted, becomes more intense and dark - this is called "mosaic effect"

You can draw on crumpled paper at any age, because... it's very simple. And older children themselves carefully crumple a sheet of paper, straighten it and draw on it. Then you can put the children’s drawings in a frame and arrange an exhibition.

Drawing with two colors at the same time

This technique is characterized by various joyful themes: a spring willow, like a sparrow peeking out of a bud.

Two paints are taken simultaneously onto the brush, gray (gouache) for the entire pile, and white for the tip. When applying paints to a sheet of paper, the effect is "volumetric" Images. Flowers also turn out unusually beautiful and bright, especially fairy-tale ones, miracle trees or unusual Ural-Siberian painting, when two colors are taken on a flat brush, and the brush seems to dance in the master’s fingers, leaving berries, flowers and leaves on the tree, birch bark, metal

Drawing "fluffies"

To do this, the contour of the wet drawing is smeared with a dry, hard brush and you get flowers, blooming spring trees, elements of Ural-Siberian painting, chicks, dandelions, etc.

The same expressive images can be obtained with a dry, hard brush (bristles), if it is held vertically in relation to the sheet of paper and applied with abrupt strokes on dry paper to a sketch made with a simple pencil, or you can immediately depict animals, their fluffy fur, flowering lilac bushes, apple trees or cherry trees and much more.

Children are especially good at drawing portraits of their favorite toys, for which they first draw an outline, and then apply sharp strokes, going over the outline of the image. The more frequent the strokes, the better the texture (fluffiness) is conveyed.

After such classes, you can arrange an exhibition of portraits of your favorite toys or fairy-tale images. Or maybe arrange a personal exhibition of a young animal artist.

Bitmap

The design is applied using the tip of a brush, fingers of different sizes and paints of different colors. The result is a mosaic pattern or, again, a “fluffy” pattern.

Line drawing

To quickly depict animals, birds, come up with and realize unusual fairy-tale pictures, you can visit an amazing country "GRAFO". It is not on the geographical map, but it is everywhere where inquisitive children live.

To do this, you just need to pick up a magic wand, which can be any pencil, felt-tip pen, wax or simple chalk, sanguine, pastel, art pencil - sauce.

Touch a piece of paper and the doors of this country will open "GRAFO". Everyone here loves to draw, draw, and write. This country has its own language: stroke, line, spots, contour, silhouette, decorative line, decorative spot, geometric pattern.

The basic laws of beauty are the laws of composition, which include rhythm, balance, symmetry, contrast, novelty, plot and compositional center.

Hatch- this is a line, a feature that can be short or long, slanted and even, barely noticeable and bright, wavy and moving in a circle, intersecting and flowing into one another.

With the help of a stroke, you can tell about the nature of the object, the properties of the material, convey its softness, airiness, tenderness, but also heaviness, gloominess, sharpness, sharpness, aggressiveness and reveal the image of the hero, his attitude to the environment.

Series of exercises “IMAGE »:

a stroke, barely touching the paper;

gradually increasing the pressure;

short and long stroke;

changing pauses - gaps between strokes;

gradually shortening strokes and changing pauses - gaps;

stroke - zigzag with gradual lengthening and shortening;

changing stroke inclination;

tilt to one side;

wavy stroke - zigzag;

stroke in several rows;

a stroke moving in a circle;

a stroke coming from the center of the circle.

The teacher must depict all these exercises himself and show the children what can happen thanks to the stroke. Graphics classes are simple, they are easier than painting and sculpture. Simply, drawing - graphics are very interesting, it develops spatial imagination, extraordinary thinking, which teaches you to think, fantasize, make independent decisions, and educates the child to look for more complex topics : “I” (to myself), “Rain”, “Trees”, “Forest”.

If you draw with a soft pencil (sauce), you can rub it with your finger (shade), which will give softness to the image.

Aquatypia

Required: plexiglass (glass with smooth rounded corners), a sheet of paper, soap, watercolors, ink, brushes.

Paints are applied to the glass (watercolor using soap or ink), a sheet of paper is placed on the dried surface and pressed tightly. You can move the sheet a little on the glass - the print will be more interesting.

In these prints we look for images, landscape images and complete the drawings with pencils, crayons, and felt-tip pens.

Cliche

Large print; A pattern of thick paper or rope is glued onto a wooden block or cardboard cylinder on one side and on the entire surface of the cylinder. Paint is rolled and stamped - flowers, leaves, rugs, napkins, wallpaper for dolls' rooms, fabric for flat dolls, wrapping paper for gifts, etc.

The bar or cylinder has handles to make it convenient to hold, stamp or make a poster (with a cylinder).

Aquatouche

Required: paper, gouache, ink, water is poured into a large flat vessel (basin).

Dilute the gouache and draw the image. When the gouache dries, cover the entire sheet with one ink (black). After the ink has dried, place the drawing in a basin (bath) with water, i.e. "manifest". The gouache is washed off in water, but the mascara is only partially washed off. The paper should be thick, the image large, the effect of a photograph will be obtained.

Invite children to be photographers. In previous design classes, you can make a paper “camera”; while walking around the site, you can photograph what you like, and then “develop” it in the laboratory using the “aquatouch” technique.

Another option for working on the fatty layer: a greasy layer is first applied to a sheet of paper - with a candle (can be applied with your palm), soap (tampon), etc. And paint is applied on top.

The drawing turns out "fluffy", as if bristling (shaggy).

Facial expressions in drawings

In psychogymnastics classes, you can train the ability to recognize an emotional state by facial expressions - the expressive movement of the facial muscles, by PANTOMIMIC - by the expressive movement of the whole body, by VOCAL facial expressions - by the expressive properties of speech.

Let's reveal facial expressions in the drawings. You can train the ability to recognize an emotional state along a line using CUT PATTERNS - a kind of PICTOGRAMS. This is a set of cards on which various emotions are depicted using simple signs, 5 pictograms:

First, children examine, name the mood, then the cards are cut along a line dividing the upper and lower parts of the face. They mix and find again according to the instructions, or those that they liked. You can complete the drawing of the body, show facial expressions on yourself in front of the mirror, etc. The process of drawing itself can influence children, they become calmer and more approachable.

Music

After listening to a melody or piece of music, children must pick up one card (pictogram). First silently, and then as if they describe the feelings evoked by contrasting pieces of music, correlating them with mood maps. You can use polar definitions: cheerful - sad; cheerful - tired; sick - healthy; brave - cowardly, etc. Then offer to draw an image seen in cards, heard in music.

Children more often collect joyful and cheerful faces, less often sad or with other moods.

These games exercise the ability to interact. Usually, without prompting, children fill in the missing details on the card: eyes, hair, ears, sometimes a headdress, bows, glasses, or make a background. Such tasks help in the future to draw a portrait of a friend, mother or yourself.

Pantomime in drawings

Children especially love activities during which various poses are depicted on paper using CONVENTIONAL FIGURES. The children call them "skeletons" and better - "little men".

Having received a card with an image of a figure in one pose or another, the children finish drawing it - they remember which pose corresponds to what emotional state. Children quickly begin to draw poses of people and quite expressively, without relying on conventional figures.

The new ones, obtained as a result of playing with templates, conventional figures and blots, are then used by children in their free and thematic drawings.

Games - "invisible"

You need paper and simple (graphite) pencils.

Older children are asked to close their eyes and, to the music (waltz), draw involuntary lines (squiggles, scribbles - that’s what children call them) on a sheet of paper with a pencil, to the rhythm of a piece of music (1 min.). Open your eyes, look at the lines and find a hidden image among them (animals, birds, humans, trees, vehicles). Use colored pencils or felt-tip pens to highlight them, circle them so that they become visible - clearly, adding a little bit of elements for the image you see.

The nature of the music can be very different. First, you can give calm music, and then faster, more cheerful music, and in accordance with this, the rhythm of the pencil lines drawn will be different, so the images will be seen differently.

The children's imagination will tell them; their imagination is very vivid. At the first such games, the help of a teacher is needed, because... Children sometimes get lost and don’t always see hidden invisible people.

Drawing with a candle or wax crayons

This method of drawing also surprises children, makes them happy, teaches them to concentrate, be precise and careful in their drawing. This method has long been used by folk craftsmen when painting Easter eggs.

The point is that the paint rolls off the surface over which you ran a wax crayon or a candle. A flute thread or a large swab of paint is taken and drawn along the sheet - a drawing appears on a colored background: “Frozen tree”, “Forest at night”, “Santa Claus patterns on window glass”, “Fur coat for the Snow Maiden”, “Snowflakes”, “Lace napkins, collars, panels”, “Northern Queen”. Another variant: draw doodles with a candle or simply randomly arrange the lines, and then draw an image of an animal or bird in the intended color; first the outline, and then paint over it all - it turns out to be “fluffy” (do not paint over the wax), or the shell of a turtle, or the stripes of a tiger, the cells of a giraffe.

A very fun zoo! Fast, easy and fun!

Drawing on fabric

The fabric is glued to the frame (preferably silk, plain).

The drawing is applied with ink, watercolor, felt-tip pens, pens, a sharpened stick, a student's pen, a bird's feather, etc. Then the drawing is ironed with a student's iron.

This is a very elegant, subtle, painstaking technique that requires perseverance, patience, and accuracy from children. Such works for a gift card, as a souvenir (print on the wall).

Drawing with plasticine

Rub a thick sheet of paper with the color of plasticine that was intended as the background (thickness 1 mm). Then use a tampon on top, placing pieces of plasticine, creating a convex image "bas-relief"

You can suggest scratching, removing the plasticine (as in the scratching technique). Frame it and get a print for classroom decoration, as a gift. Such interesting prints - panels are made collectively.

In all proposed options for conducting classes in non-traditional drawing techniques, the help of an adult (teacher) is required.

Working with carbon paper

Copy paper is placed on top of a white sheet of paper; the drawing is applied over the copy with a finger, nail, or stick. Then the carbon paper is removed and what remains is a graphic design.

Offer colored copy paper to children.

Scratch

The scratching technique was used in Russia and was called "drawing on a wax pad."

Cover thick paper with wax, paraffin or a candle (rub the sheet with wax strokes tightly to each other). Apply a layer of mascara several times with a wide brush or sponge. To ensure density of painting, you can prepare the following mixture: add a little shampoo (or soap) to the gouache or mascara and mix everything thoroughly in a socket.

When dry, the design is applied by scratching with a knitting needle or a sharp stick and the appearance of white color. It turns out very similar to an engraving!

The white color of the paper can be painted over with colored spots or stamped with one color, depending on what you are planning to depict, then after scratching, the drawing becomes colored, children call this paper "magical" because It is not known what color can appear through the black wax layer. They are surprised, delighted and work very interestedly. The result is very expressive fairy-tale images: “magic flower”, “firebird”, “merry Khokhloma”, “underwater kingdom”, “unknown space”, “New Year’s Eve”, “evening city”, “In the underwater kingdom of Berendey”, “Palace for the Snow Maiden”, “ Costume for Santa Claus", "Night Moths", "Miracle Tree", "Night Landscapes", "Visiting the Dwarfs".

Linotype

"Colored threads" You need a thread (or several threads) 25-30 cm long, dye it in different colors, lay it out as you like on one side of a sheet of paper folded in half. Bring the ends of the thread(s) out. Fold the halves of the sheet, press them on top with your left hand, and smooth them out. Then, without removing your left palm from the sheet, carefully pull out one thread after another or just one with your right hand. Expand the sheet... and there is a magical drawing: “swan birds”, “huge flowers”, “Vologda lace”, “frosty patterns”(if the threads are dyed white and placed on a colored background).

And there is no end to fantasy, to the play of imagination. And again a beautiful exhibition! You can only add a little bit where it is needed.

Application from dry leaves: butterfly, mushroom, duckling, tree, flowers - the simplest images. Or, attaching a dry leaf from a tree to paper, outline the outline with paint, remove it, and paint over the white spot as you want - it seems.

Blotography

Games with blots help develop the eye, coordination of movements, fantasy and imagination. These games usually help relieve tension in emotionally disinhibited children.

1. Place a large and bright blot (ink, watercolor paint) so that the drop is a blot "alive" if you shake a piece of paper, it begins to move, and if you blow on it (preferably from a straw or a juice tube), it will run upward, leaving a trail behind it. Blow again, turning the sheet in the direction where some image is already visible. You can also drop a blot of a different color and blow again - let these colors meet, cross each other, merge and get a new color. See what they look like, if you need to paint on the semantic elements a little.

2. You can get a fantastic image without blowing air, but by shaking the paper, and droplets - blots - run across the sheet. And if you first draw wax lines onto a sheet of paper with a candle, and then drip paint or ink, the blot “runs” across the paper faster, leaving many interesting marks.

3. Take a large long sheet of paper (the back of wallpaper or old drawings glued together), lay it on the floor or path. Children take a candle (pieces) and draw squiggles, chaotic lines, then take ink (black, red) or color and spray it all over the surface of the paper path (under the guidance of the teacher), and then, lying on the floor facing each other along the path, begin blow on the blots. This is a fun game, improvisation - blots run, roll, collide, run away, find each other. When you played, drew with air, stand up, rest and see what happened? - lace runner, fairy-tale picture, individual images (devil, bunny ears, birds, fish, trees, bushes, etc.). If you want, you can finish it or leave it as is and decorate the wall in the corridor, passage, dressing room, hall.

4. Among the auxiliary teaching aids, the most effective and organizing is MUSIC. Blotography can be combined with music. Give children small pieces of paper and sprinkle drops of paint or ink. Taking the piece of paper in their hands, the children move to the music and the rhythm of their body is transferred to the “live” droplet, which also draws while dancing. See what happened and add more if necessary. The nature of the music can be different.

Spray

Or paint splashing. This technique is simple and familiar to many. Its essence is spraying drops with a toothbrush or a brush for cleaning clothes, stacks (a wooden or plastic stick in the form of a scalpel, knife). Paint is drawn onto the brush, the brush is in the left hand, and the stack is drawn along the surface of the brush with quick movements towards you. The splashes will fly onto the paper; if there is a stencil on it, then they will not splash - forming white silhouettes.

Over time, the drops will become smaller and begin to fall more evenly and where needed. This technique is convenient to work on the veranda in the summer or in a group in the evening with a small subgroup of children or individually. The theme for this technique can be surprises, gift congratulations (invitation cards, postcards, posters, announcements): “Napkins for Mom”, “Snowfall”, “Golden Autumn Spun”, “Spring Pictures”.

The demonstration is not a dogma, but an impetus to search!

In this case, VARIABLE display is one of the most important triggers for schoolchildren to accumulate experience in visual creativity. This is advice, help, conversations, praise, teaching and playing, telling and showing. By creatively using the proposed recommendations, you can awaken in children a sustainable interest in drawing and help them master fine art skills.

Unconventional drawing techniques, and there are many more of them, will help children feel free, give them the opportunity to be surprised and enjoy the world, get acquainted with the techniques of many artists and try to create beauty themselves.

Exercise No. 1 “Magic Spots”

The child is asked to fold a landscape sheet in half and paint watercolor or gouache spots on one half. Then fold the sheet along the fold line and iron it with your hand so that the spots are imprinted on the other half of the sheet. The child is asked to examine the resulting symmetrical spots and think about what they look like. Next, you can take a brush, pencil or felt-tip pen and complete the blot to create a subject drawing: an animal, a person, a plot scene, etc.

Exercise No. 2 “Magic Line”

Exercise No. 3 “Three colors”.

Invite your child to take three colors that, in his opinion, match each other, and fill the entire sheet with them. What does the drawing look like? If it is difficult for a child to do this, allow him to complete the drawing a little, if necessary. Now ask them to come up with as many titles as possible for the drawing.

Exercise No. 4 “Complete the drawing”

There are 2-3 pieces of colored paper glued onto the card. The shape and color of the pasted drawings are very different.

Assignment for children: carefully examine the proposed card, you can turn it in different ways. And then complete the application so that you get something recognizable: a human figure, an object, an animal.

Game - relay race No. 5 “Transformation”.

Each of the participants in the game adds one element to a given object (for example, a mug) so that this object turns into another (for example, a yacht, etc.).

Examples of transferring properties from one item to another:

Fish is a machine

Cup and saucer - ship

Saucers - parachutes

Iron - steam locomotive, etc.

Exercise No. 6 “Creating an image from geometric shapes”

From identical sets of geometric shapes, it is proposed to create the figure of an animal or a fairy-tale hero. It is possible to make geometric shapes from a square of colored paper (100x100 mm). It is cut as follows:

Exercise No. 7 “Landscape”

Students are given cards with a two-color background on which they are asked to draw a landscape. The elements of the picture must be matched to the given background.

The motif of an invented landscape can be simple - just two or three trees, a river, a path. But the general mood of the landscape should be interesting, perhaps it will be a landscape with a small plot pattern.

Game No. 8 “Color stories”

The game proceeds as follows: children are presented with a colored strip, point to the uppermost square and ask: “What does he look like? What color is this? Based on the child's answer, the adult comes up with the first sentence, and the rest is composed by the children based on the associations of each subsequent colored square with the realities of the world around them.

One eight-color strip allows you to come up with many stories. The strip can be transformed into a seven-colored flower, and in the future for writing it is possible to use sets of disparate colored squares, a certain number of which can be selected at random.

Exercise No. 9 “What do the spots look like?”

The child is asked to use gouache or watercolor to draw colored spots on one sheet of paper. Then stamp these spots onto another sheet. The resulting identical spots need to be completed to create different images of objects, plants, animals, etc.

Exercise No. 10 “Completing the plot drawing according to

given fragment"

Upon completion of the work, we hold a competition for the resulting drawings and titles for them.

Game No. 17 “Drawing a still life from the imagination”

Children must draw a still life on a given topic. Usually artists draw objects from life, but now the child needs to create his own image in his imagination, and then transfer it to paper. Interesting, varied solutions to such a task can be obtained using the technique of gruntography. The topic is given to all children the same.

Original themes for still life:

"Butterfly on a Blooming Flower"

"Apple on a Porcelain Dish"

Exercise No. 18 “Search for emotionally adequate images”

Any emotional situation (object, being, experience) is given and it is proposed to depict it in the form of a schematic drawing (or describe in words the essence of the proposed images). For example, in response to the presenter’s question “how can you depict a rejoicing person?”, the guys can depict or write down the following options: a person flies, sparkles, dances, the sun shines in a person’s body, etc. When summing up, both the total number of proposed answers and originality are taken into account; Possibility of collective discussion and creativity.

Exercise No. 19 “Shifters”

The exercise reinforces correct, adequate ideas about the world around us, which are established in the child’s mind after being passed through the prism of imagination.

The children are invited to imagine a city where everything is the other way around; let them imagine unprecedented fruits on the trees (socks, mittens, etc.), the colors in which the objects are painted. To activate your figurative imagination, you can read B. Zakhoder’s poem “Magpie”:

The magpie flew high.

And now the magpie chatters, That sugar is terribly salty, That a falcon cannot cope with a crow, That crayfish grow on oak, That fish walk in fur coats, That apples are blue, That night comes at dawn, That the sea is dry and dry, That the lion is weaker Than a fly, Cows fly better than anyone else, Owls sing better than anyone else, That the ice is hot and hot, That the stove is dog cold, And that no bird can compare with it in truthfulness! The magpie chirps, chirps - No one wants to listen to her: After all, there is no use in what the magpie chatters!

Exercise No. 20 “What a hyena”

The exercise develops reconstructive imagination based on S. Cherny’s poem “Hyena”. This poem is very picturesque and “visible”, so children can easily recreate the image of a hyena in their imagination and depict it.

The hyena is so disgusting:

Her muzzle is cheeky

The fur on the back of the neck is erect,

The back is like a knot,

On the sides (for what purpose is unclear)

rusty spots,

The belly is dirty and bald,

She smells like kerosene and rat...

It pokes into the bars - the tail is at the leg,

Eyes like Baba Yaga's.

And I feel sorry for her...

Isn't she offended?

Even a moth, even a jackdaw

Cute and pretty.

Uncle Volodin's fiancee explained to me,

Aunt Aglaya:

“Why is she angry?

Because she's ugly"
