Thank you very much for this! Well, I just have to repost their notes))
Original taken from shuttleburan How children see space
Today the whole world is celebrating the anniversary of the beginning of human exploration of a fundamentally new entity - the Cosmos! April 12, 1961 Yuri Gagarin for the first time in history made a space flight and thus opened a new era of mankind.
An exhibition of children's drawings on a space theme has opened today in Rostov: We are descendants of Gagarin. Space Relay-Rostov.
It was interesting to see how children imagine space, how they see the space future, what they expect from it and whether they dream of becoming astronauts.
There are a lot of photos from the exhibition under the cut.
You can conditionally divide the drawings into several categories. Some differed in the detailing of the technical part of the spacecraft:
(this one is generally done in pastel)
Others reflected history:
Still others imagined everyday scenes of the cosmic future:
Space trains, train station, spacecraft parking. The curtains on the train windows are great!
And here we can see orbital stores: plants and flowers, household appliances, honey. laboratory. I would venture to suggest that small buildings are fast food points: shawarma, vkusnolyubov, "coffee to go", etc.
Of course, not without aliens:
Name of the picture: "Hi, friend!". It's nice that the children are peaceful. The culture of aggression has not yet managed to spoil them. The theme of friendship and peaceful coexistence with aliens runs through all the drawings. There are no battle scenes anywhere.
Subtle humor and good imagination. Everything is great here!

None other than NEVZ launched its space electric locomotive :)
Nebulae and Landscapes:
Some just liked it:
The ship and one suit are made of foil.
In total, the exhibition has 152 drawings from 15 educational institutions in Rostov and the region. There are many interesting works. The exhibition will be held from 12 to 20 April at the Rostov House of Children and Youth Creativity (former Palace of Pioneers, Sadovaya, 53-55). Free admission.
The exhibition is important because it actualizes the theme of space as such. Children fantasize and draw interesting stories. But it's sad that they stopped dreaming about space - to the question "what do you want to become?" none of the authors of the drawings answered "cosmonaut". A football player, a lawyer, a businessman... Meanwhile, man and Mankind have a much higher purpose than business and football. It is necessary by all means to kindle the thirst for the expansion of space, to convey the value of this path. And the more active the space theme is on the agenda, the more chances we, earthlings, have to return to the path of development and achieve outstanding results on a universal scale!
Happy Cosmonautics Day everyone!

Today in Rostov-on-Don at the Palace of Children and Youth Creativity an exhibition of children's drawings dedicated to the 55th anniversary of the first manned flight into space has opened.
Children drew pictures, wrote stories as part of the All-Russian competition “We are the descendants of Gagarin - space relay”, which is held by the public organization for the protection of the family “Parental All-Russian Resistance” together with the public movement “The Essence of Time”.
The exhibition presents more than 150 works made by students of 20 educational institutions of Rostov-on-Don, Shakhty, Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, Novocherkassk, as well as eleven stories (they can be read in the VK group dedicated to the exhibition.
Even before visiting kindergarten, kids pay attention to the fact that night follows day, and the Sun follows the Moon. And since children are very inquisitive, they enthusiastically ask their parents what the sky is, why it is blue, and where the Sun goes. The universe for children is of particular interest, because everything unknown seems mysterious and magical. The task of parents is to tell children about the planets, space and astronauts in an accessible, childish language. We bring to your attention ideas for stories about space for children, suitable pictures and interesting cartoons. Dedicate the weekend to an amazing journey into the world of stars and planets.
About space for children: talk about the stars
The universe for children is an unusual and wonderful world in which the Sun and Stars shine most brightly. To get acquainted with the bright night "pebbles", invite your child to take a walk in the evening. Show him that there are many bright Stars in the sky, they twinkle mysteriously. In fact, they are not as small as they seem. In real size, these are huge hot gas balls: the hottest ones shine in blue, others in red. They come in different sizes. The most famous and brightest stars are the North Star and Sirius. The beloved warm Sun is also a star, the most important for us and our planet Earth. There are also colorful constellations in the sky - silhouettes of bright Stars. For example, Ursa Major and Ursa Minor.
Space for kids: exploring the planets
Around the main Star, the Sun, 9 planets revolve, as well as other planets and asteroids. They are all different sizes and located at different distances relative to the Earth on which we live. It is generally accepted that this is the only planet inhabited by people; no life has been found on other planets.
To study the location of the planets in space, pictures for children will be a great help.
You can also be helped by verses in which planets are described from the point of view of remoteness. Here is one of them.
All the planets in order
Call any of us:
Once - Mercury,
Two - Venus,
Three - Earth,
Four is Mars.
Five - Jupiter,
Six - Saturn,
Seven - Uranus,
Behind him is Neptune.
He is eighth in a row.
And after him already, then,
And the ninth planet
called Pluto.

Perhaps your child will be interested in watching cartoons about space, filmed specifically for children. We bring to your attention 3 training videos. It is also worth paying attention to the cartoon and the book "Dunno on the Moon", which are very interesting about space and the universe.
Cartoons about space for children
Children's drawings on the theme of space. How to draw a picture for Cosmonautics Day.On the eve of Cosmonautics Day, it will be relevant to talk about children's drawings on the theme of space. In this article we want to tell you how to draw space using non-traditional drawing techniques. Here we will consider drawings on the theme of space, made in the techniques of scratching, passe-partout, "spray". You will also learn how to draw an unusual drawing for Cosmonautics Day using shaving foam or bubble wrap. The techniques for drawing the cosmos described in the article are easy to perform and are available, including to children of preschool and primary school age.
1. Drawings on the theme of space in the technique of scratching
The word "grattage" comes from the French gratter - scrape, scratch, so another name for the technique is the scratching technique.
To draw a drawing on the theme of space using the scraping technique, you will need:
Heavyweight white paper (or cardboard)
- colored wax crayons
- black gouache paint or ink
- dishwashing liquid
- brush
- any sharp object (wooden skewer, toothpick, knitting needle, etc.)
Work plan:
1. Color the paper with freestyle colored wax crayons. Do not spare the crayons, they should cover the paper with a thick layer. Note: even a small child can handle this part of the work.
2. Mix 3 parts black gouache paint (ink) and 1 part dishwashing liquid. Spread the mixture evenly over the paper.
3. Let the paint dry completely. You can speed up this process with a hair dryer. And now the most interesting! Take any sharp object and scratch your drawing on the theme of space with it. The result will be an original work for the Day of Cosmonautics, made in an unconventional drawing technique, scratching
2. How to draw space. Drawing in the technique of "passe-partout"
This is a very unusual and fascinating drawing technique. First, as in the previous technique, you need to color a sheet of paper with colored wax crayons. As a result, you will get a bright, colored rug. After that, draw patterns of planets, flying saucers, space rockets, stars, etc. on cardboard. Cut out templates. On a thick sheet of black paper, lay out the cut out patterns in the form of a composition. Circle them with a pencil, then cut out the silhouettes with nail scissors. Note: This step must be performed by an adult. Now put a black sheet of paper with cut out silhouettes on the "rug" painted with crayons. Drawing space in the technique of "passe-partout" is ready. Link to original source.
3. Children's drawings on the theme of space. Drawing with shaving foam
For children in creativity, the process itself is more important than the result. We, adults, are interested in the final product of our activity. Today we want to offer you a kind of coloring game that will satisfy the needs of both children and adults. The site games-for-kids.ru describes an interesting way to create a so-called. "marble paper" using regular shaving foam and paints (or food coloring). Using the detailed instructions for making "marble paper" described on this site, you can make beautiful drawings on the theme of space for Cosmonautics Day.
4. Drawings for the day of cosmonautics. Draw space to music
In 1914-1916 the English composer Gustav Holst composed the symphonic suite The Planets. The suite consists of 7 parts - according to the number of planets in the solar system (excluding Earth) known at the time of writing. We invite you to conduct the following interesting lesson with your child on the theme of space, on the eve of Cosmonautics Day.
Give your child a large sheet of paper and paint. Ask him to divide the sheet into four equal parts with a simple pencil. Now let him listen in turn to any 4 parts of the suite (for example, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus). Listening to each part of a piece of music, he must depict on canvas the emotions and feelings that this music evokes in him. Children usually like this kind of work very much. Here is what one of our students drew.
From the resulting abstract paintings, then it will be possible to cut out the planets and stick them on a sheet of black paper. The drawing for Cosmonautics Day is ready!
5. Drawings on the theme of space. Drawing space with a toothbrush
We suggest you make a drawing on the theme of space in the so-called. spray technique. Using a toothbrush, splatter white paint on a sheet of black paper. You will have a starry sky. Planets can be drawn with a sponge, smearing paints of different colors with it. Look what a beautiful drawing on the theme of space we got!
6. Children's drawings on the theme of space. Non-traditional drawing techniques
If suddenly you have a piece of bubble wrap lying around at your house, now is the time to use it for children's creativity. After all, with the help of this wonderful material, you can very simply paint the planet. It is only necessary to apply paint to the film and attach it to the drawing in the right place.
The planet in the figure below is also made in this non-traditional drawing technique. Additional prints were made using a cardboard toilet paper roll and a plastic straw. Also, when drawing this drawing on the theme of space, the so-called. spray technique.
7. Drawings space. Drawings for Cosmonautics Day
An interesting project for children on Cosmonautics Day was prepared by MrBrintables.com. On this site you can download and print a drawing of the moon. The moon is presented in three sizes: large (22 sheets), medium (6 sheets) and small size (1 sheet). Print the drawing, stick the sheets on the wall in the correct sequence.
Now invite your child to dream up who lives on the moon. Let him draw its inhabitants, their houses, transport, etc.
8. Drawings on the theme of space. Children's drawings on the theme of space
These charming aliens are drawn using such an unconventional drawing technique as blowing paint through a straw (plastic tube). What is this technique?
We apply paint diluted with water with a brush (or pipette) on a sheet of paper so that a stain of paint is obtained on the sheet. After that, we blow on the paint through a straw, it spreads in different directions and we get a spot of a bizarre shape. When the paint dries, we finish our alien with all the necessary details.
Even small children can draw such a drawing on the theme of space.
9. How to draw space. space drawings
Now we will tell you about a very interesting way to draw the moon. For this craft on the theme of space, you will need ordinary PVA glue in a bottle with a narrow spout. We will draw on high density paper. Draw craters directly on the surface of the moon with glue. When the glue is completely dry and transparent, paint over the moon with gray paint.

Practical work No. 1: "Deep space"
To draw a cosmic landscape, we need stencils of circles of various diameters. You can use special rulers or various "improvised tools".
We draw several planets with wax crayons, placing them arbitrarily on the plane of the sheet. You can apply the technique of superimposing the near planets on the planets, or depict one of the planets only partially.
After creating a space composition, we crumple a sheet of paper, twisting it several times, and gently straighten it
Coloring the planets. So that the planets do not look like grandmother's balls with threads, we draw very carefully with crayons, do not go beyond the edges.
Before we start working in color, we remember how forests, mountains, deserts and oceans look from space, we think about whether all planets can look the same? Fiery and foggy, sandy, gaseous and icy - they can look absolutely fantastic. Coming up with complex color combinations.
We cover the entire sheet with black watercolor. Paint, accumulating in cracks, creates a mysterious depth of outer space.
Practical work No. 2: "Exit to open space"
For this work, we need a figurine of an astronaut in a spacesuit, circles of various diameters and a silhouette of a rocket.
All figures are placed on the sheet in random order. We start with a rocket and an astronaut. Then add the planets.
Inside the silhouettes we delimit the planes. We add portholes on the rocket, we divide the spacesuit into separate parts. We begin to color the rocket, the astronaut and the planets in stages. In order to create a festive atmosphere, we take bright, juicy colors.
Drawing on the theme "Space" is an endless field for creative experiments. Depicting the Universe "on canvas", a small or adult artist makes individual decisions: what paper to use, what colors to give preference to, how to arrange the composition and how to supplement it. Depending on the choice of materials and execution technique, the drawing can be brighter or less pronounced, rich in details or concise and abstract. Space with planets, stars and a satellite, drawn in pencil or gouache, cannot be compared with watercolor in terms of realism. And a small galaxy created with an acrylic paint sponge will be the greatest pride of a novice artist or a talented child. And if you have never had to engage in such creativity before, do not worry. We will tell and show how to draw space in step-by-step master classes with photos and videos.
Drawings with colored pencils or paints on the theme "Space" - a step-by-step master class for children
Children's drawings with paints or a pencil on the theme "Space" are a great way of self-realization for the little ones. Depicting the cosmic abyss, colorful planets and fiery comets, children show their imagination, discover new talents in themselves, and show their individuality. And if several different techniques are used in the illustration master class, the process immediately becomes much more interesting, entertaining and informative.
Necessary materials for a children's drawing with a pencil and paints on the theme "Space"
- thick white paper
- black drawing paper
- compasses (or round objects of different diameters - lids, saucers, glasses)
- pencil
- gouache paints (including white)
- brushes of different thicknesses
- stationery scissors
- PVA glue
A step-by-step master class for children on creating a bright drawing on the theme "Space"
- Place a thick white sheet on your work surface. Using round objects of different diameters and an ordinary pencil, draw nine circles on paper.
- Depending on the diameter, the circle will be one or another planet. For example, the largest figure is Jupiter, and the smallest is Mercury.
- Using gouache paints, apply characteristic colors to the circles. You can peep in the children's encyclopedia the real color of the planets, or you can create unusual fantasy planets to your taste.
- When the paint is completely dry, cut out the resulting shapes with sharp scissors along the contour.
- On a black drawing paper (you can use a half), leave splashes of white gouache paint. To do this, take some gouache on the brush and wave it several times over the paper.
- Plan the location of your planets "in space". Lay them out neatly on paper and take a closer look. If you like the compositions, proceed to the next step.
- Using clerical glue or PVA, secure all the elements in place.
- Press each planet firmly with the palm of your hand or a thick textbook to ensure the pieces stick firmly. Do not overdo it with glue so that excess mass does not flow out to the sides. On a black background, the spots will be especially noticeable.
- After the glue has completely dried, remove the textbook and evaluate the result. Drawing with colored pencils or paints on the theme "Space" according to a step-by-step master class for children is completely ready! Photo11
How to draw space in watercolor - an unusual idea for beginners
Using watercolor paints in creating a space drawing is much easier than it seems at first glance. On a wet base, the colors self-blend into whimsical galactic patterns, realistically displaying wondrous nebulae and fine stardust. Even a child can cope with such a simple fine art technique. And for adults, we offer a complicated option for beginner artists - an unusual idea to paint the cosmos in watercolor in a geometric figure.
Necessary materials for drawing "Space" in watercolor for beginners
- sheet of thick white paper
- water and brushes of different sizes
- watercolor paints
- acrylic paints (black and white)
- salt
- ruler
- protractor
- sharpened pencil
- masking fluid for watercolor (Art Masking fluid)
How unusual to draw space in watercolor - step by step instructions
- Take the “Pacific” as the basis for the image - a sign of peace and love. Using a template from the Internet, transfer the outline to thick white paper. You can also draw a picture yourself using a ruler and a compass.
- To prevent watercolor stains from getting into forbidden areas, use a special masking agent. At the last stage of preparing the drawing, it is easy to remove it from the white area.
- Fill the sign with masking for watercolor, without going beyond the outlines. Wait for complete drying.
- Thoroughly soak the areas between the axes of the sign with clean water. So the paint will form more realistic "space" stains.
- On one of the wet areas, apply a drop of blue watercolor. Do not make too sharp strokes, let the paint spread on its own.
- Add black watercolor or ink to the blue tones for a natural galaxy effect.
- Thus, fill in all the free areas with colorful stains. When the watercolor dries a little, add a yellow glow and purple reflections.
- Don't be afraid to speak on the white areas of the sign. At the end of the work, you can clean them up.
- Sprinkle the still wet picture with coarse salt. Sprinkle the resulting space with small specks of white acrylic paint.
- When the image is completely dry, outline the outlines of a marvelous space city with a pencil. Using a thin brush and white paint, draw all the lines.
- In the final step, remove the thin watercolor masking film from the white areas of the sign. The contours will become smooth and clear, and the fields will become snow-white.
- Now you know how to draw space in watercolor - an unusual idea for beginners will allow you to create a beautiful panel for your home or a bright postcard for a dear person with your own hands.Photo25
How to draw an ideal space with stars, satellites and planets with a sponge on homemade ceramics
Most often, space is painted with watercolors - quickly, conveniently, and practically. But what if you want to cover a household item that is completely unsuitable for watercolor with a fashionable galactic image? After all, ceramics, wood and other popular materials absorb watery paint, leaving only faded shades on the surface. In this case, it is better to use pigment ink or acrylic paints in a duet with a soft sponge or foam rubber sponge. So the image is successfully fixed and retains its brightness and clarity for a long time.
For information on how to quickly draw space with planets and stars with an acrylic sponge on ceramics, see our next master class with a photo.
Necessary materials for drawing "Space with stars and planets" on home ceramics
- old plain ceramic dishes
- acrylic paints
- spray with water
- sponges or sponges of different sizes
- synthetic brush
- Matt lacquer
How to draw space with stars on ceramics with a sponge and acrylic paints
Another interesting and original option is how to draw space with paints.
Watercolor images of space are good in their own right. They seem to be saturated with a special atmosphere of depth and mystery. But even such seemingly unusual drawings can be made even more entertaining. For example, by combining the space background with the city panorama. You will learn how to paint space for such an original and unusual option in our next step-by-step master class.
Necessary materials for the original drawing "Space" with paints
- thick landscape sheet or watercolor paper
- watercolor paints
- masking liquid for watercolor
- white acrylic paint
- medical alcohol
- salt
- pencil and ruler
- brushes of different thicknesses
- art adhesive tape
- black gel pen
How interesting and original to draw space with paints - step by step instructions
- Draw a horizontal line across the bottom half of the sheet with a pencil. So you limit the area of \u200b\u200bthe picture. From the line up, draw a few slender houses by hand. Don't worry about their symmetry. The more chaotic the structure, the more original the drawing will look.
- Glue artistic adhesive tape under the line. It will serve as a color limiter.
- Paint over the houses with white masking for watercolor. Wait for the liquid to dry.
- Moisten the empty spots on the sheet with clean water. On the wet surface of the paper, dilute various shades of blue: from deep ink to sky blue.
- Add additional colors to different tones of blue watercolor - lilac, pink, green, etc. The galaxy should turn out bright and more or less natural.
- Sprinkle the wet pattern with table salt. As soon as the "space" dries, shake off the grains.
- Using white acrylic paint and an art brush (you can use a toothbrush), leave small white drops on the picture - stars.
- Place drops of alcohol in several places. The substance will slightly wash out the paint and give the image a more complete look.
- Pry off the masking layer with an eraser and remove a thin film. Now the places for the houses are in perfect order.
- With a black pen, draw windows and doors on the houses. Remove the art tape.
- Such an interesting and original version of how to draw space with paints will appeal not only to children. Even adults will enjoy spending time in such an exciting creative process.
How to quickly draw and successfully use the drawing "Space" with gouache
In order to beautifully draw space with gouache and apply it in an original way in a home interior or as a souvenir, you need to make a blank yourself. To do this, you need thick paper and an ordinary wooden hoop. Gently holding a wet white sheet between the circles of the hoop, and then drying it with hair dryers, you will create an ideal field for "cosmic" creativity.
Necessary materials for drawing "Space" with gouache paints

We take a brush and black paint (watercolor or gouache) and begin to paint over the entire work. First we draw lines along the edge of the sheet, then we work along the entire sheet.
While the paint is not dry, we “salt” the drawing. In the place where a grain of salt has fallen, the paint seems to collect, and with the help of this technique, the cosmos again becomes deep and mysterious.
Children's work (5-6 years old)
Pattern options
Flying saucers (UFOs) can be very diverse. Turning on the fantasy, we depict the aircraft of aliens.
The world around for preschoolers is a means of cognition and a source of artistic images that they are happy to embody on paper in the process of drawing. In the senior and preparatory group, kindergarten students get acquainted with the unknown world of the Universe. It attracts children's attention, makes them think and fantasize. As a result, the guys create wonderful compositions on the theme of "Space".
Features of drawing on this topic in senior preschool age
To understand the vast unexplored world of space, you need to use your imagination as much as possible. Preschoolers, on the other hand, can easily cope with this task - they can imagine themselves on board a spaceship flying past unknown planets, or rescuing an alien from a black hole.
Space is one of the topics that develop children's imagination very well. The emphasis in such drawings is placed on three main areas. First of all, this is the creation of a cosmic landscape with many stars, beautiful, dissimilar planets, comets, asteroids, etc. In some works of preschoolers, the foreground can be clearly distinguished - the landscape of a planet or another cosmic body (for example, the Moon is a satellite) is drawn in detail Earth).
Another direction of drawings on this topic is the image of equipment intended for space exploration: rockets, satellites, spaceships. Older preschoolers create quite realistic images, paying attention to details. Along with such devices, the guys are very fond of drawing vehicles of fictional aliens, the so-called flying saucers.
And another part of the work on creating space compositions is the image of astronauts in their professional equipment and fantastic anthropomorphic creatures - aliens. The latter may look completely different in children's imagination, be cute or deliberately ugly, have their own character - kind or aggressive.
The teacher at the space drawing lesson does not give ready-made templates to older preschoolers. So, to create a cosmic landscape, it will be enough for the guys to have a poster with the image of the solar system in front of their eyes in order to have an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat the various planets look like.
Preschool poster
Drawing a rocket is usually not difficult for children - the teacher only clarifies with the guys its constituent elements. In addition, drawing is usually preceded by an application on this topic.
As for creating the image of an astronaut, the image of a person is always a difficult task. However, in this case, the work is simplified by the presence of a voluminous space suit, so the detailed transfer of facial features or proportions of body parts will no longer be so relevant.
Drawing aliens is an exceptionally creative process when children independently look for ways to create a fantastic image. However, the teacher can provide preschoolers with a picture with different types of these creatures (for example, based on a cartoon).
Preschool poster
In the senior and preparatory group, the final part of the lesson is important - the analysis of finished works. For example, if the guys were drawing an alien, then the teacher organizes a discussion about the expressiveness of the created images. Children tell what colors they used in their work, what was the best way to portray. In addition, each child can come up with a name for their alien and talk about his character, as well as the planet from which he arrived.
The most appropriate materials and basis for work
Drawing on a space theme involves the use of a certain basis. If this is a drawing with paints, then the sheet of paper, as a rule, is tinted in a dark color - black, brown, dark blue, dark purple. Although individual drawings look great on a blue base. The gradient background with beautiful color transitions also looks spectacular.
The basis for drawing a space landscape
The shape of the base can be not only standard (A4 format). An interesting solution is to offer the children large circles of gray paper (Moon), on which they will depict the lunar landscape or the fictional inhabitants of this space object.
The basis of the picture is a circle that fits into A4 format
As for paint, gouache in this case will be preferable to watercolors, as it allows you to create bright and rich images.
Space compositions are also created by older preschoolers with colored pencils or wax crayons. At the same time, the background is painted over in the process of work, and, unlike a drawing with paints, it is not too dark.
The combination of materials always looks unusual. For example, in a watercolor drawing, the outline of a white rocket is drawn with a bright felt-tip pen.
By using a felt-tip pen, the watercolor image becomes brighter and more contrasting.
Since non-traditional techniques are often used when drawing on the theme of "Space", the teacher provides the children with appropriate supplies - foam rubber sponges, toothbrushes, cotton swabs, toothpicks for scratching the picture, glue. You can even use such unexpected material as soap bubbles or shaving foam.
In a visual lesson on this topic, children can also be offered stencils depicting, for example, a comet, an alien, a spaceship. At the same time, you can tint the base with beautiful color transitions, and make images of stencil objects monotonous and contrasting.

Image techniques and techniques used when drawing on a space theme
Creating compositions on a space theme, older preschoolers work out all the previously mastered techniques of drawing with paints and pencils. The technique of working with a brush (the tip and the entire pile) is being improved. Children regulate the force of pressure on the pencil, exercise in painting the silhouette with rhythmic unidirectional movements. The teacher monitors whether the pupils hold the instrument correctly, makes comments as necessary (this is true even in the preparatory group).
In the senior, and even more so in the preparatory group, the guys are already well able to mix paints, achieving interesting shades. This skill will come in handy when drawing space landscapes.
Such an unusual and mysterious theme as "Space" opens up great scope for the disclosure of the creative imagination of preschoolers. In this regard, non-traditional imaging techniques provide great opportunities. So, for example, the vast expanses of space, depicted in watercolor, can be effectively supplemented with a toothbrush spray - in this way we will depict numerous distant stars, small asteroids and cosmic dust.
Drawing using an unconventional spray technique
To create an image of the mysterious Universe, the scratching technique is ideal - scratching silhouettes on a dark background. Previously, the base is painted over with multi-colored wax crayons and covered with a thick layer of black gouache (preschoolers may well do this on their own on the eve of class.
Technique scratching
The most interesting thing is the process of scratching the drawing itself. As a result of such work, the original image is obtained.
Drawing in the technique of scratching
Bizarre images of aliens are well obtained with the help of blotography - blowing paint through a cocktail tube, followed by addition of details.
Blotography
Ordinary PVA glue in a bottle with a narrow neck will help to draw a lunar landscape with characteristic craters. Relief circles are depicted on the surface of the moon, which, after drying, are covered with gray paint.
Drawing with PVA glue
An interesting relief image is also obtained using ordinary salt. The silhouette of a space object is first marked with glue, and then sprinkled with coarse salt. When the image dries, it is covered with paint.
Salt painting followed by painting
Consider such an unusual technique as drawing with shaving foam. Foam is mixed with paint - the result is a beautiful marble effect. In this way, you can depict our native planet Earth.
Shaving foam drawing
In kindergarten, drawing with wax crayons is also often practiced, followed by covering a sheet of paper with watercolor or gouache. In this case, the property of wax crayons to repel water is used. First, preschoolers draw space objects, rockets, astronauts, etc., and then cover the entire sheet with black paint using a brush. From the areas covered with wax, the paint rolls off. The result is a beautiful contrast image.
Drawing with watercolors and wax crayons
Additional types of visual activity that can be used when creating works, the implementation of an individual approach in the classroom
When drawing on a creative topic such as "Space", of course, you need to encourage preschoolers to use additional activities. Thus, it is possible to implement an individual approach to the lesson. For example, a bright picture depicting a distant alien planet with its bizarre inhabitants will be decorated with an application in the form of paper silhouettes of outlandish trees.
Drawing with appliqué elements
The composition will be made more original and plasticine details.
Combination of drawing and plasticineography
Variants of compositions for drawing on the theme "Space" in the senior and preparatory group
It is most logical to conduct a drawing lesson on a space theme with senior preschoolers in early April - on the eve of the celebration of Cosmonautics Day. Before such a productive activity, it is advisable to conduct a lesson on the knowledge of the surrounding world on the topic “Space”, so that later the guys reflect their knowledge and impressions in the picture.
The following topics can be proposed as specific topics for visual activity:
- "Space landscape". Here the main attention is paid to outer space itself, comets flying in it, meteorites, cosmic dust, etc.)
- "Planets of the Solar System". The children depict in detail the Sun and the planets revolving around it, reflecting the characteristic external features of certain space objects (the red color of Mars, the rings of Saturn, the green-blue Earth, orange Venus, very small Mercury, huge Jupiter, etc.).
- "Flight to the Moon" (as an option - "Flight to Mars"). Preschoolers depict the lunar surface, a spaceship on it. You can also include the image of an astronaut in the composition. Another option - the moon is depicted from afar, and the spacecraft flies up to it.
- "Astronauts in space". Children draw astronauts in a spacesuit floating in zero gravity in open space.
- "Aliens in space" (as an option - "Martians"). This is a fantasy work in which preschoolers create a fictional image of an alien, endowing it with the most unthinkable external features.
- "Rocket in space", "Flying satellite". Here, the emphasis is on a detailed depiction of technical objects created by man for space exploration.
Drawing on a space theme, if desired, can be organized as a team work. To do this, you can take a topic such as "The Solar System" - each child in a subgroup depicts a specific planet.
Organization of the motivating beginning of directly educational activity: a surprise moment, an informative conversation, reading a fairy tale, a poem, looking at illustrations, etc.
A space drawing lesson should take place in a creative atmosphere so that preschoolers come into contact with the mysterious and magical world of the endless universe. First of all, it will help to make thoughtful game motivation.
For example, the teacher tells the children that she received a message from outer space in which someone asks for help. It turns out that this is Dunno who flew to the moon and cannot return back. He is afraid to be alone in an unfamiliar place. Neznaika definitely needs help - send a rescue team of astronauts to the moon. But you can fly there only on a rocket or a spaceship, which you need to draw.
Cosmonauts can also send a letter to preschoolers. It also comes with a package with a gift - a helmet. The astronauts, knowing that the guys are good at drawing, ask them to send them pictures depicting a space landscape.
Interesting motivation using a toy character. An alien from outer space comes to visit the children. He says that he liked the big and beautiful planet Earth. Many people live on it, but he is sad and lonely, because he lives all alone on his planet. The alien asks the guys to please him - to draw friends.
A soft toy that can be used in class
To make the children imbued with the space theme, the teacher can invite them to turn into astronauts. To do this, preschoolers put on pre-prepared paper helmets and imagine flying to the appropriate music. The guys open their eyes and see a poster depicting the solar system.

You can start drawing on the theme of space with a fairy tale. A wonderful modern work is the fairy tale by Iris Revue "About a resourceful girl and a generous Sun." It says that once upon a time, our planet was illuminated only during the day, when the sun's rays illuminated all living things. But at night it was so dark and scary that it is impossible to describe. And then one little girl turned to the Sun with a request that someone shine at night, because she is very afraid of the dark. The sun thought and decided to perform a miracle - its rays gave light to the moon, so that it, in turn, would send it to the Earth. In addition, the stars volunteered to help the moon. Now the nights were not so dark, and the little girl was no longer afraid to sleep.
After reading this beautiful fairy tale, pupils of the senior or preparatory group can be invited to draw a cosmic landscape where the bright Moon and stars will illuminate the globe in the darkness of the Universe.
You can also recommend The Tale of the Lone Star. Her main character is a small star (although in fact she was larger than our Sun). She was very lonely, because other stars are far away, and the planets were not interested in her life. They only argued with each other about whose trajectory is more correct. And then one night a comet flew past an asterisk. The heroine has never seen them before. They started talking. The comet said that she was a celestial traveler - she flies wherever she wants. It is made of ice, but there are other comets made of stones and metals. The little star asked the comet not to fly away yet, but to stay with her and tell about the miracles that she saw in the Universe. The comet agreed, began to revolve around the star along with the planets and told amazing stories every day. From her stories, the little star learned that there are a lot of varieties of stars: young and old, red-hot and almost cooled down, small and giant. And the most interesting thing is that many stars that are visible in the sky actually went out a long time ago, and the light from them still goes on and will go on for a long time. The starlet confessed to the comet that her innermost desire is to talk to other stars. And a new friend told her that the stars communicate with each other with their twinkling (they will flash brighter, then almost go out) - this is their language.
Soon the comet flew away. And the little star kept peering into the sky, wanting to unravel the mysterious language. And suddenly one night, when she was admiring a bright red star, it began to blink - three short flashes, then one bright one. Then another star did the same. And then the little star realized that it was a greeting, and also winked at the distant stars. Now all that remained was to wait for an answer, even if it would come in a thousand years.
A picture to illustrate a story
The plot of this wonderful fairy tale will be a good motivation for drawing space objects - stars, planets and comets.
The teacher can also tell pupils in the first person such a fabulous story:
“Once I was at a star space ball. In the center, on a high throne, the queen of the ball, the Polar Star, sat motionless. She wore a magnificent blue dress, and a crown adorned her head. Multicolored stars circled around the waltz, constellations danced in different masks. The crystal ringing of bells announced the arrival of Mrs. Comet to the ball. Her tail shimmered with all the colors of the rainbow, the outfit was irresistible. The comet is called the cosmic messenger. Fast, where only it does not happen!? Looks into the most remote corners of the universe. The first to know about the birth of new stars and planets. And now she talked about where meteorites and meteor showers will soon fall. And she also conveyed to the Polar Star a declaration of love from sailors, pilots and astronauts from planet Earth. They love her very much because she always points in the right direction.
The following tale is interesting, in which the planets of the solar system are endowed with anthropomorphic features.
“A friendly family lives in the Universe - the Solar System. Mom is called the Sun, and her children are planets. Like chickens around a chicken, the planets circle around the Sun, and it loves everyone, warms. The fastest son is called Mercury, the most beautiful daughter is Venus, and the kindest is Earth. The most pugnacious son is named Mars. The largest and thickest is Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune are strong and calm. Saturn is considered a merry fellow, and only a small Pluto is always whiny and gloomy. The planets have friends - satellites. For example, the Earth's girlfriend is called the Moon. They never part, and the Moon in a yellow sarafan spins around the Earth, looks into her eyes. You can’t go into space without friendship!”

A poster to illustrate a fairy tale
After reading this unusual short fairy tale, you can invite the children to depict the planets from an unexpected perspective - with a human face, while trying to endow each of them with their own character.
There are also many interesting poems on the space theme, according to the plot of which you can also build a drawing lesson. Let's give some examples.
"Space is so cool!" O. Akhmetova
Space is so cool!
Stars and planets
In black weightlessness
Swimming slowly!
Space is so cool!
sharp rockets
At great speed
Rushing here and there!
So wonderful in space!
So magical in space!
In real space
Visited once!
In real space!
In the one that saw through
In the one that saw through
Paper telescope!
"Ten lunatics" (song-game, lyrics by A. A. Usachev)
Ten sleepwalkers have lived on the moon.
Ten lunatics tossed and turned in their sleep.
And suddenly one lunatic fell from the moon in a dream
And NINE lunatics remained on the moon.
Nine lunatics have lived on the moon.
Nine lunatics tossed and turned in their sleep.
And suddenly one lunatic fell from the moon in a dream.
And EIGHT lunatics remained on the moon.
Eight sleepwalkers have lived on the moon.
Eight sleepwalkers tossed and turned in their sleep...Count sleepwalkers until:
And suddenly one lunatic fell from the moon in a dream!
And there were no more lunatics on the moon!And if you don't want to sleep
Start counting again!
N. Tsvetkova
The blue sky has opened
yellow-orange eye
The sun is a daylight
Kindly looks at us.
The planet spins smoothly
In the flickering flicker of lights.
Comet somewhere in space
Follows after her.
Mercury breaks out of orbit
Wants to hug Venus.
By these magnetic storms
Can Mercury lift.
Distant stars twinkle
Something signaling the Earth.
Black holes are gaping
An eternal mystery in the mist.
Brothers in mind. Where are you?
Where are you waiting for us?
Maybe in the constellation Virgo,
Maybe in the constellation Pegasus?
V. Tatarinov "Cosmonaut".
I'll build a rocket, I'll go on a long journey,
I will choose the most radiant star.
And on the way, of course, I'll remember sweet home
And five-pointed stars over the Kremlin.
Where the planets circle, my ship will pass.
There, the sunny people will make friends with me.
And the local boys will meet me,
I will sing them a song about my native land.
Physical education and dynamic pauses on this topic will help to interest children even more in the topic of space:
Physical education "Cosmonaut"
Physical education "Cosmonaut costume"
Physical education "Let's go to the spaceport"
Finger gymnastics "Cosmos"
- We flew into space with you
- aliens met,
- And for fingers charging
- Performed with them.
- We met first
- One two three four five,
- Made friends, hugged
- And then go look
- Through a telescope on a star track!
Mobile game "Cosmonauts":
- Children, holding hands, walk in a circle:
Fast rockets are waiting for us
To walk the planets
What we want -
Let's fly to this one!
But there is one secret in the game:
Latecomers - no room!
Children scatter and try to take their places (in hoops). Only two astronauts can land in one rocket.

| Smirnova A.V. | "Space Landscape" (senior group) Educational tasks: learn to depict the solar system, get different shades of colors by mixing. Development tasks: develop compositional skills, color perception. Educational tasks: to cultivate interest in the world of space. Integration of educational areas: "Artistic creativity", "Cognition", "Communication", "Socialization", "Health". Demonstration material: illustrations of space, the solar system. Handout: sheets of A4 paper, watercolors, oil pastels, brushes, non-spill cups, napkins Lesson progress: The teacher reminds the preschoolers that during the walk they looked at the sky, and asks them to describe it. It turns out that the sky is different: on a sunny day - bright blue, on a cloudy day - gray, at sunset - orange. At night, the sky seems black, thousands of stars light up against its background. In addition to our planet, there are a huge number of other planets, stars, dust, gases, asteroids in space. Children are invited to take a fascinating journey through the universe, to imagine that they have risen so high that the Earth seems to be a small blue ball. The sky has turned into outer space filled with various objects. The guys will learn that our galaxy is called the Milky Way, and the solar system consists of eight planets. Reading a poem by V. Shipunova "On a distant planet ...":

Compositions of senior preschoolers with comments on the performance of work
"Space landscape, planets of the solar system"
Pupils of the senior and preparatory groups create wonderful pictures of the cosmos. Drawings on a dark background are always spectacular: planets and stars seem brighter and more contrasting. In this regard, we note the work "Unknown Planet", "Mysterious Saturn", "Saturn", "In the vastness of the Universe".
Original compositions that involve non-traditional methods of drawing. This is the work "Unexplored Space", made in the technique of scratching, drawing "Our neighbors in space", where Mars and green fragments of the Earth are depicted with the help of salt. And the composition "Silence and Tranquility in Space" is a whole combination of non-standard techniques - spraying, painting with soap bubbles and a sponge. Spatter is also used in the work "Comet".
Preschoolers love to depict the structure of the solar system. This is a collective work "Our Solar System", where each child in the subgroup drew a certain planet. An interesting interpretation of this theme is in the fantasy drawing “Solar System”, where the child depicted the Sun smaller than Saturn, and painted most of the planets in a mysterious purple color.

"Rockets and Spaceships"
Older preschoolers depict rockets and other types of space technology in a very realistic way. These are bright works “Space Flight”, “Rocket”, made in gouache. A neat drawing on a beautiful blue background - "Rocket on the way." The compositions “Forward to unknown worlds” and “Rocket launched from the Earth” are interesting for their technique (scratching and pencil drawing with a predominance of shades of black).
Of interest are the images of spaceships. In the "Unknown Planet" drawing, the technician is mastering the surface while the cosmonaut is planting the Russian flag. And in the composition “Squirrel and Strelka”, world-famous dogs look out from the spaceship.
Images of rockets and spaceships invariably coexist with the cosmic landscape, which includes stars and planets. Often in the drawings we see our Earth (“Belka and Strelka”, “Rocket”, “Rocket flies the planets”). In the picture "Journey in Space" we see Saturn with a smiling human face.

April 12 the world celebrates Aviation and Cosmonautics Day . This holiday is special. This is the day of the triumph of space science and all those who are successfully working in this industry today.
April 12 is a memorable date, it was set to commemorate the first manned flight into space. On April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin on the Vostok spacecraft for the first time made an orbital flight around the Earth, opening the era of manned space flights with his act.
He launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome and for the first time in the world circled the planet Earth. The flight, which lasted only 108 minutes, was a breakthrough in space exploration.
The name of Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin became known throughout the world, and the cosmonaut himself received the title of Major and Hero of the Soviet Union ahead of schedule.
In the Soviet Union, the holiday was established by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of April 9, 1962. And it is marked under the name Cosmonautics Day . This holiday was established at the suggestion of the second pilot-cosmonaut of the Soviet Union German Titov.
Many years have passed since then, and we see huge successes in this industry. Tens of thousands of satellites revolve around the earth, spacecraft have already landed on the moon and brought samples of local soil with them. Automatic probes landed on Mars and Venus.
The world's first artificial Earth satellite was launched into low Earth orbit on October 4, 1957. In honor of this event, World Space Week is even held annually.
Everyone knows that before a man got into a spaceship, his four-legged friends went on a flight. So in August 1960, a daily flight with a return to Earth was made by the Vostok spacecraft with the dogs Strelka and Belka on board.
Well, the first international flight took place on July 15, 1975. The American spacecraft Apollo and the Soviet spacecraft Soyuz-19 are considered to be the pioneers.
On April 7, 2011, at a special meeting of the UN General Assembly, a resolution was adopted that officially proclaimed April 12 as the International Day of Human Space Flight.
Many children are interested in interplanetary flights and space. In Soviet times, every second child answered the question “What do you want to be when you become an adult?” answered "Cosmonaut".
Children love to make various crafts, including themed ones. So in kindergartens, schools on the eve of Cosmonautics Day, children draw and create space from various materials. What is space without a rocket? Today we want to dwell on how to draw a rocket?
We bring to your attention several options: from the simplest to the most complicated.
So, let's start with simple options for kids:
And these models are a bit more difficult to draw:
And here are some other rockets.
