Unconventional drawing (77 ideas for kindergarten). Techniques for drawing with crumpled paper in kindergarten and school: master class. How to draw flowers, lilacs, landscapes, spring, dandelions with crumpled paper
(“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, adding paint again, you can draw more complex subjects: trees, birds, animals, landscape pictures and even decorative patterns, combined with fingertip drawing.
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 so on.
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. Change hands so that fingerprints and fist prints curve into 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", "Holiday 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 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 bush (if it is not a large sheet round shape). 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 rabbits”, “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 and draw lines, such as contours, on a sheet of paper autumn trees, in the upper part there is a blue line (sky). 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 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. For this purpose it is taken desired color 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 are also unusually beautiful and bright, especially fabulous 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, smear the outline of the wet drawing 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 piece of paper and applied in abrupt strokes on dry paper to the sketch made with a simple pencil, or immediately depict animals, their fluffy fur, flowering lilac bushes, apple 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 young artist- animalist.
Bitmap
The design is applied with 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 amazing country "GRAFO". She's not on 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 psycho-gymnastics classes, you can train the ability to recognize an emotional state by facial expressions - expressive movements of the facial muscles, by PANTOMIMICS - expressive movements of the whole body, by VOCAL facial expressions - 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, using simple signs, different emotions, 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 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, outline 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, or 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 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 decoration. classroom, For a present. 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 night», « 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 most simple images. Or, attaching a dry leaf from a tree to the paper, outline the outline with paint, remove it, and White spot paint it the way 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 fantastic image not blowing air, but 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 over the entire 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 fun game, improvisation - blots run, roll, collide, run away, find each other. When you've played and drawn with air, should you stand up, rest and see what happened? - lace track, fairytale 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 fine arts. 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 techniques drawings, 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”
The child is asked to draw a “handwriting” on a piece of paper with his eyes closed, look at it carefully and think about what it resembles. Then complete the image.
Exercise No. 3 “Three colors”.
Invite your child to take three colors, in his opinion, suitable friend to a friend, 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 “Finish it”
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 “Composing 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"
The child is offered a sheet of paper with a piece of fabric glued to it. The pattern of the fabric will suggest the motive of the future design. This could be a landscape, portrait, still life, or everyday scene. After completing your drawing, you should try to include a piece of fabric in it.
Exercise No. 11 “Whose thing?”
Students are given a card with a drawing of one part: a shoe, a key, a broom and other attributes fairy tale characters. The student needs to recognize the hero and complete the drawing of Cinderella, Pinocchio or Baba Yaga, respectively.

It is proposed to depict funny people from different numbers or from one. Numbers can be drawn in different directions and in mirror image. You can draw a family of ones, etc.
Exercise No. 14 “Non-existent animal”
The exercise is based on the agglutination method. The child is asked to draw a non-existent animal by combining parts of known animals and come up with a name for it.
Exercise No. 15 “Creating images from prints”
Using various materials for the stamp - nails, caps, plugs, etc. It is suggested to draw animals and people.
Students' interest in this exercise may be caused by the unconventional choice of stamp. Fingers can play its role.
Exercise No. 16 “Music”
Children are invited to listen to a fragment of a musical work, for example, pieces of the play "The Lark's Song" or any other from P.I. Tchaikovsky's "Seasons". After listening to music, the child is given four colors: red, green, blue and yellow. He must depict the music he heard using these colors and title his drawing. 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"
"Autumn Leaves on the Cold Ground"
You can come up with your own topics. At the end, it is necessary to hold an art competition and select a winner. You can simply arrange an exhibition of children's work.
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 trees, That fish walk in fur coats, That apples of blue color That night comes at dawn, That the sea is dry and dry, That a lion is weaker than a fly, Cows fly best of all, Owls sing better than everyone, That ice is hot and hot, That the stove is dog cold, And that no bird is truthful with she can't compare! 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"
Monotype is a print with paints: applying spots of paint (with or without water) on a sheet of paper, placing another one on top Blank sheet, press and smooth. It turns out two sheets with an unusual spotted pattern. It can be used either as a background for a future drawing, or it can be modified, adding details, turning a shapeless spot into a full-fledged drawing.
If you take not two sheets, but one, folded in half, the paint will print almost like a mirror image. In this version, the techniques work out very well watercolor landscapes: the clearer half is, say, a forest, and the blurrier half is the reflection of the forest in some body of water. All that remains is to finalize the details.
Watercolor and drawing ink
Since watercolor and ink are transparent, fluid paints that require a lot of water, monotype using them can be done in two ways. First, you can moisten a sheet of paper with water, and then apply paint with a wide brush or drops. Secondly, you can apply paint to a dry sheet and then dilute it with drops of water. The results in both cases will be noticeably different.
Don't use too much paint and not enough water - the prints will be too bright. If, on the contrary, you need to get rid of excess liquid, blot the sheet with a crumpled paper napkin or sprinkle coarse salt on the paper. This will also create unusual textures. After the paint has dried, you can simply shake off the salt.
Acrylic and gouache
These paints, unlike watercolors and inks, are dense and opaque. The prints are also different: they are textured and textured (especially when using acrylic). By the way, absolutely any acrylic is suitable for monotype. If you use thick, undiluted paint, when you remove the second sheet (if you remove it without moving), you will get beautiful tree-like or coral-like structures. If you move or rotate it slightly when removing the top sheet, you will get a beautiful and textured smearing effect.
Aging paper with lemon and milk
This is a "pre-drawing" technique used to give paper the appearance of an old yellowed page. Apply drops of lemon juice to a clean sheet of paper; some can be smeared. Lime juice will also work. When the juice dries, iron the sheet with an iron. The lemon juice will darken, creating an aging effect. In addition, the sheet will also wrinkle slightly, which will give it an even greater resemblance to old paper.
Instead of lemon juice, you can use full-fat milk or cream. This method dates back to ancient times when milk was used as invisible ink. Apply milk with a brush to a piece of paper and let dry. Then iron the sheet or heat it in another way. The milk will turn brown and tint the leaf in an antiqued manner.
Washing off black mascara
Another way to tint paper in an original way (attention, the process is very messy). You will need sheets of paper, white gouache, drawing ink, and a large brush. The paper must be very thick so that it does not tear when washed. We paint over the central part of the sheet with white gouache (you don’t have to try to make the outline even, chaotic strokes will do). We wait until the paint dries. Now carefully paint over the entire sheet with black ink. Let it dry again.
Now we take the dried sheet and go to the bathroom. Gently wash off the mascara from the sheet under running water (you can lightly rub it with your hands). Wash the middle part of the sheet (the mascara on top of the gouache should wash off easily). And the edges of the sheet, since the ink has been absorbed into the paper, will remain black. Place the washed sheet on a stack of newspapers and leave to dry. While you wait, wash the bathtub, otherwise the mascara will become very stubborn.
Drawing with shaving foam and ink
You can get very beautiful stains this way. You need shaving foam or gel and colored mascara. Squeeze the foam onto a plastic palette (if it’s a gel, add a little water to it and beat it with a brush), spread it in an even layer over the palette and add a few drops of drawing ink. Using the handle of the brush, make streaks of mascara on the foam. Now place a sheet of paper on top, press lightly, remove. Remove any remaining foam with paper napkins.
Drawing with threads
Very non-standard way drawing that gives amazing results. You will need paper, ink and thick knitting threads. Dip a piece of thread in ink and lay it out beautifully on a sheet of paper (but the tip of the thread should extend beyond the edge). Cover with another sheet of paper, place a book on top and press down lightly with your hand. Now slowly pull the thread out. When you remove the book and separate the pages, you will see that both sheets of paper are covered with a beautiful intricate design. The pattern can be further developed into a full-fledged drawing.
Blot spots
Such ink stains can become a preparation for a full-fledged work: they can be a background, or they can be the basis of a drawing, which needs to be supplemented with details. Apply a few drops of colored ink to a dry sheet of paper (if you want a lot, it’s better not to apply them all at once). Take a cocktail straw and inflate the drop. You can simply blow, trying to stretch the blot as far as possible, or you can try to give the spot some shape so that you can then use it to create a drawing.
"Crumpled" drawing
Paint on crumpled paper gives an interesting effect. You will need paper, wax crayons and gouache (watercolor). Using crayons, draw the desired object (outline) on the sheet, and also fill in the space around the object with crayons. Now the sheet must be carefully crumpled, then straightened. We paint over it with gouache, and then, using a sponge and water, quickly wash off the paint. The paint should only remain in the folds of the paper in the unpainted area.
Technology in action 
You can paint with a regular toothbrush. Or you can draw with an electric one. A massage brush will also work. The result is unusual concentric patterns that can be used as a background for a drawing (especially if you take more than one color). The required paint is gouache or acrylic.
Punching
With the help of various stamps (which, by the way, can be almost all small and not very small objects), you can create an interesting background for drawings, the drawings themselves, and even decorate clothes and interiors. You can use both improvised objects with an interesting texture, and stamps you made yourself: cut them out of an eraser or from a potato (at a time). Then all you have to do is dip the stamp in paint and start creating.
splashing
There are two ways to spray paint on a sheet. The first is stencil spraying, when an object is placed on a sheet of paper and its outline is imprinted with splashes. The second is targeted spraying, with different intensities, paint concentrations, and droplet sizes. This way you can create entire drawings that are quite presentable and not “childish”.
Point technique
Similar to stamping. In addition to the fact that the technique gives a rather unusual result, it is also in a great way relieve your stress. You will need cotton swabs, sheets of paper, and paint of your choice. Dip a cotton swab into the paint and begin to apply the design onto the paper with rhythmic movements. It is very interesting to try to mix colors and shades in this technique.
Drawing with foam rubber
A textured background or “fluffiness” in a drawing can be created using an ordinary sponge. You can try this technique with soft foil or a thin plastic bag: dip a small piece of sponge (if the foil or bag is a small lump) into the paint and dab it over the surface of the sheet.
"Combing the Paint"
To create texture, try running a scalloped comb or a regular fork over the still-wet paint. The lines can be made both straight and wavy. Just be careful not to overdo it to avoid damaging the paper.
Scratch
This is also scratching with a sharp object, only here it is not the texture that is created, but the pattern itself. Rub a thick sheet of paper with a candle, apply mascara or gouache on top of the wax layer (so that it completely covers the sheet, without gaps). You need to add a few drops to the mascara liquid soap, so she will lie down better. When the paint dries, take a sharp object and scratch the design.
Drawing using cling film
Apply large spots of paint onto a sheet of paper and cover with cling film. But you don’t need to smooth it out; on the contrary, slightly scrunch it up. When the paint is completely dry, remove the film. Thin lines and bubbles will remain on the sheet, which cover the sheet like a cobweb.
Believe me, these are not all the methods, methods and techniques of drawing that you can try if you want something unusual in your creativity. In the end, no one is stopping you from using your imagination and trying to come up with something new!
Hi all! We continue to provide interesting ideas for educators, parents and teachers. And today we will talk about unconventional drawing techniques. These ideas are suitable for kindergarten and school. Unconventional drawing does not mean something complicated. On the contrary, it is the unconventional technique that turns art classes into simple and fun fun. No need to draw complex elements, you don’t need to master a brush. Non-traditional techniques were CREATED because they SIMPLIFY the child’s work, EASIER the teacher’s task in methodologically and give the child an amazing creative experience with an excellent final result. You will see what beautiful paintings and drawings can be made using simple non-traditional drawing techniques. The child will love your activities - he himself will be drawn to art when he feels that he can create beauty with his own hands.
I have divided all the techniques of non-traditional drawing into SEPARATE GROUPS - and I will explain and show everything in order.
Unconventional drawing
PALM PRINTS
IN kindergarten In fine art classes, it is important to choose work that will be feasible for younger children. In the second younger group, children have poor brush control, it is difficult for them to force the brush to draw a line, an oval, a circle... Therefore, at this age, quick and beautiful drawings using the palm painting technique are interesting.
With your children's hands you can draw such a cute family of a hen and chicks.
Green paint will give you a print that can be made into a frog. The eyes can be drawn separately on white circles of paper (by the teacher themselves) and the children will simply glue the eyes onto the drawing with PVA glue.
Here is another example of an appliqué drawing using this non-traditional do-it-yourself painting technique. If we add the side wings and sharp tips of the ears to the palm print, we get the silhouette of an owl. The background for such a craft can be chosen from black cardboard, and a large circle of yellow paper (moon) can be glued onto it. And already against the background of the lunar disk, make an owl-palm print. And then when the print dries, we add a long branch on which this owl is sitting.
The palm acts as a template - first sketch, trace the palm on a piece of paper, and then try to draw an eye here or there. And look closely and see which character is looking at you.
Same for crafts using the non-traditional technique “Palm + paint” you need to prepare the background in advance. Or use colored paper to create a green lawn and a pond for ducks. Or draw in advance - tint the sheet with blue and green paint, dry and prepare for class (hold under heavy pressure from books).
As you can see in the photo below, you can add overlay parts to the palm element of the design - appliqués made of paper and other materials. Below is an example of how ordinary gray paper from a box can become a prototype for a craft. To small child it was more convenient to draw circle-face of a lion- give him a jar lid template. Let the children trace the round lid along the center of the “cardboard mane” with a pencil and then carefully fill in the circle with paint – first tracing with a slow brush along the edge of the line, and then painting in the middle. We fill in the black details of the mustache, nose and ears with a marker (the teacher himself once the craft is dry).
In non-traditional palm painting, images of birds are often used. There you are simple idea drawing of a sparrow in kindergarten. Simple and quick to draw with your own hands for children in the middle group.
Here are some ideas for non-traditional hand drawing for middle and high school children. Craft MONKEY. Here you need to position your palm correctly - so that your fingers are turned towards the vine on which the monkey will hang. Then use a brush to draw a beautiful tail curl. And then lay out the head from the paper appliqué.
And here is a class on non-traditional drawing for the older group - here you need to first draw a tree (trunk, branches, leaves). The leaves are just marks from a brush (press the brush sideways. Raise it sharply upward so that the mark does not smudge). While the children are busy drawing the leaves, the trunk will dry out well and the imprint of the koala bear will be perfectly placed on it, as if against a dry background. A beautiful craft for both kindergarten and school (grades 1-4).
And here is a beautiful bright craft-drawing of a GIRAFFE. Here we also see a base made from a palm print. But a long neck element with a head is added to the picture. Before applying spots and strokes of the mane, you need to wait until the red base has completely dried. The mane is placed with the imprint of a brush - we place the brush on the side and sharply lift it up, the impression is obtained as a tuft of mane hairs - we create a lot of imprints along the entire cervical ridge of the giraffe. .Round spots are easier to draw cotton swab(with a brush, the circles will not be even - not all children know how to draw a circle with a brush - this is a complex technique that they will master after they learn to write letters).
For the older group of kindergarten, a hand drawing in the form of a rainbow magical unicorn is suitable. Great craft for girls. The teacher will draw the horn.
And boys will love the drawing in the form of a dragon - also in this technique.
Also, young children really love group crafts. Where the entire kindergarten group participates in one common artistic work. For example on large sheet paper to draw the outlines of the peacock's future body - and around it to line up the imprints of the feathers of its magnificent tail. And then, when the tail is dry, you can glue the body itself along the center.
Drawing WITH FORKS.
non-traditional technology in kindergarten.
Disposable plastic forks are a tool that can create an interesting non-traditional drawing technique for you. All drawings where needed characteristic shaggy stroke, even a small child will be able to draw quickly and easily.
Here is a sample of such work for children in kindergarten. The teacher draws a tree stump on a piece of paper. It comes from the hemp the upward line is the AXIS of the future tree. Using a fork, scoop up the thick paint and apply prints from the side of the axle downwards. First we process the right side of the axis, then the left side of the central rod of the tree.
And already the third stage - we put another layer of CENTRAL STROKES on top of these strokes - this time more vertically down from the center, slightly diverging to the sides.
For comfort Pour the paint into bowls - jar lids work great.
AND to reduce paint consumption , gouache can be diluted with PVA glue - one to one, or in another proportion. Valuable advice - do not buy SCHOOL PVA in small tubes - go to hardware store and buy a liter (or half-liter) bucket of PVA glue there. It will be called universal PVA, or construction PVA - don’t let this confuse you. By chemical composition it is exactly the same as school PVA glue. But the price is 5 or 10 times cheaper. And in a bucket the glue does not lose its freshness, as in a tube. And a liter bucket is enough for a kindergarten group for 3-4 months of active classes.
In such an unconventional technique, you can draw any PINKY elements of the picture - for example, a HEDGEHOG or a CACTUS.
A fork will also help you draw shaggy characters. For example, a yellow fluffy CHICKEN, or a kitten, or a bear cub.
Since the paint already contains PVA glue, you can glue any paper parts (beak, eyes, ears, tails, etc.) onto the wet paint that has not yet dried.
Also, the fork stroke is similar to the plumage of birds. Therefore, you can make a drawing of any bird using this technique. This is how it happens, you can see in the photo of the craft below - COCK..
TRAINING METHODOLOGY – classical.
On two drawing samples.
What is the best way to TEACH DRAWING in kindergarten. Here is a technique that has been working great in kindergarten for several years. This technique allows you to get the CORRECT one the first time children's drawing. Let's look at it using the example of the same COCK from the picture above.
STAGE 1
We seat the children on a chair (in 2 rows) in front of one table. The teacher will do a demonstration on it. The piece of paper already has the outline of a rooster drawn in pencil. Three bowls contain different colors – yellow, red, blue. Each color has its own fork.
In front of the children, we begin our work - we draw feathers with a fork, freely mixing paints. We show you what is wrong and what is right. Let the children see from your example that it is better to draw lines ALONG the neck and ALONG the lines of the tail, and not across.
STAGE 2
We painted plumage for one rooster in front of the children. Now we make him a friend - we take another sheet with a pencil rooster, and ask the children, “What should we do?” Children give you hints, you “mess up”, children correct you, tell you how to do it - you correct yourself and continue to make mistakes, then correct yourself. Now children are already acting as a “knowledgeable teacher”. After this game of drawing the second rooster. The children themselves sit down at the tables, where the same pencil rooster is waiting for them and, with knowledge of the matter, each perform their own craft.
As you can see, the demonstration method always works better on 2-X training drawings with the teacher’s hand.
- The first drawing, where the teacher does everything himself (teaching and explaining to the children)
- The teacher performs the second drawing according to the children’s prompts (“making mistakes” and correcting them).
- Each child already makes the third drawing himself, at his desk, with a smart, scholarly look.
Unconventional DRAWING
FEET PRINTS
The imprint of a child's foot, like a palm, can be turned into interesting drawing. The most different characters may be hidden in a child's footprint.
These are the kinds of paintings that can be created using an unconventional drawing technique from an ordinary print of a child’s foot.
I’ll say right away that in the realities of a kindergarten (where there are 30 children in a group) This kind of drawing with feet is difficult to organize. In the case of drawings with palms, everything is simple: children wipe their palms with a wet cloth (remove the main layer of paint), and then go to the sink and wash their hands with soap. When drawing with feet, the child cannot go and wash his feet in the washbasin. A gentle man with soap and several basins to wash his feet. You can’t do this kind of work with a whole kindergarten group. But…
This kind of drawing can be done as a specially organized individual lesson. Children are divided into groups of 4 people. One child gives his feet for a print, the second draws eyes, ears, tails, the third child draws grass, the sun, the fourth a tree, a bird and so on... (depending on the theme and plot of the picture).
You can try this option for organizing the entire process. Before bedtime, when children are barefoot. Let the child step on a piece of foam rubber dipped in paint. And then straight onto a sheet of paper. And then immediately a thin, wet, soapy terry towel, then into a basin with some water... and go to bed.
That is, you need to buy a sheet of foam rubber(it is cheap in the construction department, sold cut into meters). Wet the foam rubber, dilute the paint slightly with water so that it is well absorbed into the foam rubber (like ink in printing), place a sheet of foam rubber on a plastic tray. Nearby, on a second plastic tray, there is a wet, soapy towel (for wiping off paint), then there is a basin of water, and a dry towel. There is a chair next to each tray and basin. Three chairs + three elements (coloring, soap, rinsing, wiping).
It turns out to be a conveyor– the child sits on the first chair (steps on the foam rubber with paint, hop – raises his leg), move the tray with the foam rubber, put a sheet of paper in its place (hop – stamped). The child moves his butt to the second chair, next to which there is a tray with a soapy towel (hop-up, soaped his leg, wiped off the paint). The child moves his butt to the third chair, next to which there is a basin of water with a rag floating in it (hop, wash off the soapy leg where you need it with a rag). And wipe with a dry towel.
Everyone is happy. Except for the sanitation station. It does not allow collective rinsing in one basin. The sanitation station requires for 20 children - 20 basins, and 20 soap towels... 20 dry towels)))
Unconventional drawing
HATCHING method
And here’s another beautiful piece of equipment for kindergarten. Where the elements of the drawing are created using the shading method. This results in an interesting image texture. This method is convenient for drawing everything fluffy and shaggy.
The technique is well illustrated by the example of this HARE craft.
The hare drawing is divided into ROW-SECTORS, each of which is shaded. We get even rows of shading.
Here is a life-size template for this craft.
You can modify this craft and present it as an applique. Where each element is cut out separately (ears, forehead, cheeks, nose, neck). Then each element is shaded. And then everything is assembled into a single whole application.
The ZONE HATCHING method can be used to create any other furry characters. For example, a fluffy ostrich.
That is, the teacher gives the child a piece of paper on which the eyes and beak of an ostrich are drawn. The child’s task is to draw a fluffy cloud of strokes around the eyes with a pencil or wax crayons. And then, under the resulting fluffy ball, draw the neck in rows of strokes. The teacher can help the children by drawing the circle of the ball of the head and the lines of the future neck, and dividing the neck into sectors for striped multi-colored shading.
You can come up with any character and design it in the form of SECTORS with shading - a cat, a parrot, a dog, and so on.
DRAWING in kindergarten
WITH A COTTON SWIP
(non-traditional technique).
In kindergarten, we all drew the FLUFFY DANDELION craft using cotton swabs. Here it is (photo below). Let's think about what other pictures can be drawn using a cotton swab.
Although even from a simple DANDELION theme you can create an unconventional design - BRIGHT JUICY, as in the photo below.
It is best for young children to draw only SOME ELEMENTS of the characters using the technique of POKING WITH COTTON SWIPS - only the tail of a fox, the tip of a needle for a hedgehog.
That is, a kindergarten teacher combines the work of drawing watnyo with a stick with appliqué. First, on a piece of paper, the child makes an applique of the hedgehog’s face (from brown paper) and the skin of the hedgehog’s back (from white paper). And then this back skin needs to be completely covered with multi-colored cotton swab prints. A fun children's drawing and sticking activity.
You can use drawing with a cotton swab using the ZONE FILLING technique. On a sheet of paper, draw the outline (silhouette) of a character in pencil - for example, a seahorse. The child must fill this entire area without leaving empty spaces or going beyond the pencil border. This is difficult, the child does not always see where he is thick and where he is empty. The teacher needs to repeat all the time: look for empty holes, fill the holes different colors dots, rather than dots of the same color.
The brain, attentiveness, fine motor skills, and a sense of color work here. After all, you need to feel how you distribute the color across the zone - evenly or everything is yellow at the top, and everything is blue at the bottom.
Such a task can be started in the younger group and then in the older group - and even an adult can learn something in such training on the sense of color and composition.
You can also use a cotton swab to make CHAIN PATTERNS. Like the rows of rings on the cacti below.
You can also draw entire pictures with dots. This non-traditional drawing technique can be called DOT GRAPHY.
The most interesting thing is to select points different shades and place them differently on image objects.
You can start working on this type of drawing with small tasks. Pieces of landscape, elements of architecture.
There is an artist Angelo Franco who paints paintings using the POINT TO POINT technique. Here are large points, contain smaller ones inside.
With a cotton swab and paints you can draw beautiful MANDALA (photo below). Mandalas are circular patterns, symmetrical and multi-colored. The homeland of mandalas is the East. They still lay out patterns of colored pebbles, colored sand, or flower petals.
For children, we must provide ready-made graphic templates-mandalas, with a given pattern. And the child’s task is to REPEAT EXACTLY every POCK with a stick in each of the symmetrical zones of the mandala. That is... if in one zone you made 2 yellow pokes on a petal, then in the other zones you need to make 2 yellow pokes, on the same petal, in the same place on the petal.
You can find many round mandalas for painting on the Internet. Choose those that are simple and easy to do for children of a given age.
You can draw dotted mandalas on plastic plates. As in the photo below.
You need to start drawing mandalas when the child has already mastered basic counting to 5. And can count the number of PUMPKINS in each ray or in each row of the mandala (if it is a row-ray mandala, as in the photo below).
Agree, this beautiful and unconventional drawing technique perfectly develops a child’s mind, his mathematical abilities, constructive thinking, the ability to plan the result, and calculate the drawing.
Drawing WITH A WET EFFECT.
(non-traditional methods).
Here's another unconventional one watercolor technique drawing. Here we put watercolor diluted with water on a sheet of paper and blow on it from a tube. We get watery spots and colorful streams. For such drawing it is not necessary to use watercolor; the same can be done with gouache diluted with water.
Below we see how this technique can be used in art classes in kindergarten and school. We give the child a drawing of a face (boy or girl) and the child’s task is to blow out the HAIR for these characters.
You can use a board on which you attach a sheet of paper with a clothespin. We place a large drop of paint on the edge of the sheet and lift this edge of the board up so that the drop flows down like a slide.
If we temporarily seal part of the sheet with a piece of masking tape, then we will have an empty, unpainted space on the sheet. And then in this place you can place an applique of someone under an umbrella. Here's how it's done in the photo below.
In the younger group of kindergarten, children will really enjoy drawing Klaks monsters. Krakozyabra can be inflated from a tube in any direction. And then, after drying, glue applique elements onto them.
Now I want to introduce you to another technique - SOAP + PAINT. Pour regular liquid soap or liquid for soap bubbles into glasses - add a little gouache to each glass. We get multi-colored soap paint. Dip a cocktail tube or a round “blower” into it and blow bubbles directly onto the paper. We get gentle bubble CLOUDS. They can be decorated into an interesting picture.
The bubbly clouds can be LUXURIOUS PEONIES (like the photo below). Blistered areas can be scallops on sea waves, like curly sheep skin, etc.
You can simply blow bubbles onto the surface of a sheet of paper with a straw, and then cut out a craft applique from this multi-colored sheet. Interesting idea for classes in kindergarten.
You can also paint with splashes - just SPLASH colorful paint onto the paper. A toothbrush is best for this.
Unconventional drawing
WAX-GRAPHY method.
Here is another technique that can be called CANDLE GRAPHY, or WAX GRAPHY.
Suitable for this technique white candle wax (or paraffin). It can also be a children's wax crayon for drawing (but not just any kind). Choose chalk that has a greasy feel. Check in advance how the crayons work.
Now let's act. Draw a picture on a sheet of white paper with white chalk. Then we take watercolor (not gouache!!!) and begin to apply watery (not thick!!!) paint over the chalk lines. That is, we simply paint over our sheet of paper with colored watery paints and the invisible white wax pattern begins to appear. The paint does not cling to the wax and these places on the paper remain white.
You can draw multi-colored round mandalas in this style (with streaks of different colors). Painted autumn leaves look beautiful: leaf contours and veins are waxy, and the filling of the sheet is multi-colored (red-yellow-orange).
The night rain over the water looks beautiful. Slanting lines of rain, diverging circles on the water - it's all wax. And then we paint it with dark blue paint and get a beautiful picture of rain.
You can use wax to draw jellyfish and sea creatures. And then apply dark (blue-violet-black) tones and depths of the sea will come to life.
Children are delighted when you offer them such an activity. The educator or teacher himself draws jellyfish, turtles, small tadpoles and amoebas on each sheet in advance. And then the child must find out who lives in the depths of the seas. He paints a sheet of paper and all these creatures appear under his brush.
Important rule. Before the lesson, teach the children to ROSE a sheet of paper with a wet brush, and NOT RUBBING THE SHEET WITH A BRUSH, LIKE A WASTE SPASH. Otherwise, the wax pattern may be damaged.
NIGHT pictures look beautiful using this technique. Using wax we draw one horizon line, then waves, a wax lunar path and the disk of the moon on the upper half of the sheet. Now we paint it in the colors of the night and get the sea, the moon and the white lunar path.
WINTER pictures also look good. White lines of wax drawing as elements white snow, outlines of snowdrifts, silhouette of a snowman, snow-covered huts - we draw all this with wax. Then the child applies blue or light blue paint and a winter landscape appears on the sheet.
But it's important– before giving these pictures to children, check for yourself whether the wax is of suitable quality. Are the lines of the design showing? What layer of paint should I apply (what is the degree of paint dilution with water)?
Unconventional drawing
Using the PRINT technique.
All children love this drawing technique. Because it gives quick and beautiful results for every child. Even the most inept artist can produce beautiful paintings. Children perceive the whole process as magic, an exciting game with the magical effect of a picture appearing
In kindergarten, it is most convenient to organize the imprint technique. Let's see what materials are suitable for implementing this technique when drawing with children.
OPTION 1 – a lump of crumpled paper.
Crumpled paper gives a beautiful torn texture to the print. This is suitable for drawing the crowns of spring (yellow-green or pink) and autumn (orange-purple) trees. Paint is taken from jars or watercolors and dripped onto a bowl (lid from a jar). Dip a napkin into this drop, try the imprint on a rough sheet and, if you like, transfer it to paper.
OPTION 2 – corrugated cardboard.
Packaging gray cardboard is great for drawing a rose using the imprint technique. We cut the cardboard box into strips across the corrugation line. We twist the strips into a tube and secure with an elastic band or thread. We make a stamp for a green leaf from a toilet paper roll.
Also, this method of ROLL Drawing is suitable for depicting a SNAIL SPIRL. You can also make LAMB SKIN CURL.
OPTION 3 – fluffy pom-poms.
In craft stores (or on craft websites) you can buy a bag of these soft pompoms. If you attach a clothespin to each, you will get a convenient holder for work. Using the pomponography technique, you can create decor for painting flat parts of crafts. And also paint pictures of white airy dandelions in watercolors.
OPTION 4 – toilet paper roll.
There are a lot of options here, because the tube-sleeve can be given different shapes. You can cut the sleeve in half Lengthwise, and we will get a half-ring stamp - an ideal stencil for drawing fish scales or tiers of coniferous legs of a Christmas tree.
A round roll can be flattened on both sides and you will get a pointed oval - this is the shape of a flower petal, or bunny ears. A great idea for non-traditional drawing in kindergarten with younger children (bunny) or older children (flower).
The flower is more difficult than the bunny because you need to RADIALLY arrange the petals around the middle of the flower.
You can also cut the EDGE OF THE ROLL into curly petals - and you will get ready-made petals for paintings. Such stamps are just a godsend for quickly drawing bouquets and flower beds for children junior group. And even for the smallest babies in the nursery.
OPTION 5 – bubble wrap.
Packaging film with bubbles also gives an interesting print pattern, which can be used in non-traditional drawing in kindergarten. For example, make an imprint of a honeycomb (as in the picture below).
Or make a drawing of a spring or autumn tree.
OPTION 6 – potato stamps.
You can cut stamps of any shape from potato halves. Cut the potatoes in half. Wipe the wet cut of the potato with a paper napkin. On the cut using a marker we draw the outlines of the future stamp. Cut with a knife along the drawn contours.
It is better to choose oblong, elongated potatoes for stamps. So that a child's hand can comfortably grasp the potato. Below in the photo we present only two topics for such unconventional drawing - owls and tulips. But you can come up with your own options. If you add PVA glue to the paint, you can glue details (eyes, nose, handles) on top of the prints.
You can make an experimental double stamp. Cut the halves of the champagne out of two potatoes and fasten the two potatoes together by piercing them through with a toothpick and wrapping them with electrical tape or tape. Come up with a cool idea and experiment with creating stamps for it.
Unconventional drawing
PLUFFY colors.
Here’s another cool material for unconventional drawing, which young children love so much. This is a VOLUME PAINT for creating puffy designs. This kind of paint can be made at home quickly and easily - mix PVA glue with gouache in a bowl and add dad’s shaving foam. We make several of these bowls (not necessarily large ones) based on the idea of what we will draw with the children. For a watermelon you only need two colors - so start with that. Watermelon seeds are a simple black gouache that we drip here and there.
A variety of ideas can be implemented in this drawing technique for children in kindergarten. The simplest one is a waffle cone with ice cream. The horn is cut out of rough packaging cardboard, and we draw a waffle grid on it with a marker. The child glues the horn onto a sheet of paper (below) and lays out round balls with a three-dimensional pattern on it. You can give your child round templates, which he will first trace with a pencil over the edge of the horn, and then foam paint will be placed in these round outlines.
You can also put several spoons of different paints on the horn and then use the opposite end of a brush (or a wooden stick) to mix the paint into multi-colored stains. You will get a beautiful mix ice cream. A great craft for children at school or kindergarten during art classes.
Methods of working with thick paint in children's classes.
You can mix the paint on a separate tray (or on a piece of oilcloth). It’s better when each child makes his own color mixture - so we give each child his own oilcloth.
We put individual oilcloths for children on each table. Place bowls with 4 colors of paint in the center of the table. The child mixes these colors into a common puddle on his oilcloth - to the point of beautiful stains. Then a paper outline of a character (for example, a seahorse) is applied to the puddle. And then he lays it out to dry (the outlines of the skates must be signed with the child’s name in advance, and do not forget to remind the children to apply the unsigned side to the paint). Then the next day, when the foam paint has dried on the silhouette of the skate, you can continue working and make an appliqué of the skate in the sea waters, add thorns and algae around it, stick on shells, and pour sand on the glue.
You can try these interesting drawing techniques while working with children, both at home and in the garden. At school it's unconventional drawing can be taught in lessons visual arts, leaving the entire process for the child to create independently.

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 with 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!
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 competitive work on fine arts 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 made 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 various 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. All shades are suitable for drawing leaves Green colour and some cold notes. 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!
