Complexity:(3 out of 5).
Age: from the age of four.
Materials: a sheet of thick paper, wax crayons, a simple pencil, an eraser, watercolor, a large brush, a palette.
Purpose of the lesson: we draw a snail, applying our skills acquired earlier. Learning to draw spirals. We develop mindfulness and perseverance.
Drawing Lesson Materials
The most difficult thing in a snail will be drawing its house. It reminds us of a spiral. The difficulty lies in the fact that each subsequent turn would be at an approximately equal distance. To do this, the baby can practice by tracing the spirals over the points. See attachments for assignments.
Let's start drawing our snail from its house. We take a simple pencil, put a dot in the middle of the sheet and twist the spiral from the center.
The next step is to draw the snail itself. Eyes nose and antennae.
We take wax crayons, let the kid determine the colors. What kind of snail will he have? We decorate the little body and, attention, draw only the contour of the house and the spiral with colored chalk.
Berm watercolor and dilute the colors you like for the shell with plenty of water. To do this, use a large brush. The paint should turn out to be watery, so that when we painted the snail's house, the water rolled off the contour. If extra droplets have formed on the contour, then we remove them with a napkin, lightly dabbing.
- kraft paper;
- simple pencil;
- eraser;
- black pen;
- colored pencils (light green, orange, green, black, brown, beige, white).
How to draw a snail with a pencil
We put a dot in the middle of the sheet. From it we count 2 cm to the left, to the right, down and up. We put the notches there. Draw a circle using these points.
The circle is the basis for the snail's house. It is necessary to draw a spiral. Divide the circle in half by drawing a horizontal line in the middle. Note that the spiral will be shifted to the left. Let's start drawing, starting with a larger circle, gradually reducing it and moving from the middle to the left.
Under the sink, add the body of the snail. The head is located to the right of the shell. It has a rounded shape. The back of the body is slightly pointed.
Let's draw two big eyes above the snail's head. Add large pupils that are very close to the edge of the eye. And do not forget to leave glare.
We connect the eyes with the head. We draw two small antennae, which are rounded at the end. The small mouth of the snail is open.
We draw the surface of the body of the snail with small spots. With the help of them we will show small freckles. We will draw stripes along the sink, which will help show its relief.
Sketch the mouth and pupils of the snail with a black pen. We simply circle the rest of the surface of the body and the shell.
.
The snail's eyes will be beige. Draw a little yellow on the surface of the shell. Freckles should be done in the same color.
Add a warm tone to the snail shell using orange. We will show the shadows using a brown pencil. They need to draw the areas around the curves of the shell.
Light green color sketch the rest of the body. A reflection of this color will be on the back bottom of the sink. Apply dark green on the body of the mollusk, near the shell. This way you can show a drop shadow. We apply strokes on the sink with black color, adding contrast to it.
Snails are one of the most interesting insects. At the same time, absolutely everyone can understand how to draw a snail, because in this, in fact, there is absolutely nothing complicated. In order to clearly explain how to draw a snail to a child, it is worth showing him this insect itself or photographs in which it is depicted. This will help the baby remember the structural features of the snail.
Before you draw a snail with a pencil in stages, you need to prepare:
1). Black handle;
2). Pencil;
3). Eraser;
4). multi-colored pencils;
5). Sheet of paper.
After all those stationery items that are listed just above are prepared, you can proceed to figure out how to draw a snail:
1. Schematically draw the body of the snail and the outlines of its house;
2. Draw the body of the insect. To draw a snail with a pencil, you must know the features of its structure, otherwise the drawing will turn out to be unrealistic. For example, it is necessary to depict a pair of antennae, as well as a couple of antennas. The edges of the body of the snail should be slightly uneven;
3. Now draw the snail's house, dividing it into separate sections;
4. Depict the surface on which the insect is crawling;
5. Outline the image with a pen. Clarify some details, such as the cells on her body and the stripes on the house;
6. After letting the drawing dry a little, erase the preliminary sketch with an eraser;
7. Of course, you can draw a snail in stages with the most ordinary pencil or pen. But the drawing will look more complete if it is still painted. For this purpose, it is not at all necessary to use colored pencils, because almost any paint will work well. For example, if you use watercolor for coloring, the drawing will turn out to be very delicate and at the same time quite realistic. Color the body of the snail completely with a light brown pencil. Then shade it a little with a red-brown tint. Then, in black tone, draw the cells on the body of the insect;
8. Shade the space under the snail with a dark blue tint. And then paint over the surface on which this insect is crawling with a light green pencil;
9. Color the snail's house. To do this, use colored pencils of various shades, ranging from brown and gray colors, and ending with green, blue and purple tones.
Now the snail drawing is completely ready! Having learned to draw this insect, you can teach this to your child!
Master class "Drawing for the little ones."
Shatokhina Rita Vyacheslavovna, teacher of additional education, MBU DO "House of Children's Creativity in Kalininsk, Saratov Region."
This master class is intended for teachers of additional education, educators of preschool educational institutions. The master class will also be of interest to young artists from 4 years old and their parents.
Purpose: this master class is a small drawing course for the smallest, which shows how to draw with geometric shapes.
Target: creating conditions for obtaining drawing skills.
Tasks: teach your child how to draw familiar images using geometric shapes;
to instill skills to work accurately with paints and a brush;
develop creative imagination and fine motor skills of the hand.
Young children come to classes in my association, but they really want to draw. From the experience of working with children, I realized that it is easier for them to draw with geometric shapes. Children draw according to my show, in stages. When starting a lesson, I never tell the children what we are going to draw today. From experience I know that they are so interesting. In the process, they guess who they are drawing, and it gives them a lot of joy. And everyone's drawings are different.
Drawing master class for children "Snail"
Prepare: A4 landscape sheet, watercolor paints, brushes of different sizes, a jar of water and a napkin.
Before starting to draw, I tell the children that the paints are sleeping and they need to be awakened, gently stroking them with a brush, we will wake up the yellow paint first and start painting.
We draw a bun in the center of the sheet, gradually unwinding the brush, and then draw an arc with brown paint.
We turn the arc into a loop.
We draw horns and paint over.
We decorate the house of the snail.
We draw eyes, a mouth of a snail. Next, the children themselves come up with and decorate the background of the picture: where is the snail?
Children's work:
Drawing master class for children "Turtle".
We draw a “kolobok” in the center of the sheet with yellow paint, draw 4 loops with brown paint.
The fifth loop is drawn larger in size, we paint over all the loops.

We draw a frog mouth, eyes. We decorate the picture, having previously talked with the children: where does the frog live?
Drawing master class for children "Cockerel".
We draw a large bun-torso, a smaller bun - the head. We connect them with smooth lines, we get a neck.
We draw a cock legs-triangles and a tail, lines-arcs.
With red paint we draw a cockerel scallop (bridges), beak and beard, apply a brush.
We draw a cockerel's legs.
The snail has a simple structure, and therefore draw a snail pretty simple. It is very important to make the correct dimensions of the outline of the "house" of the snail in the first step. Further, by adding new details and gradually refining the forms, you can easily cope with the snail pattern. The body and shell of the snail has an almost uniform color, so you can color them with a simple soft pencil.
1. The first contours of the cochlea
In the first step, we need to draw only two initial outlines for the snail. Draw an oval, later we will turn it into a snail shell, and draw a shape that looks like a triangle. This outline will become the neck and part of the torso. Since these are only the initial contours of the snail, do not make them bright, and just lightly press on the pencil.
2. Mark the line of the shell and the head
Divide the previous oval with an oblique line. With the help of this line we will separate the torso from the shell. On the edge of the second contour, for the neck, draw a circle with "antennas". These two "antennae" serve as the snail's eyes.
3. Correction of the original contours
The body of the snail is very soft and delicate, therefore it does not have clear, even lines. Slightly correct the initial outline and instead of straight lines draw wavy outlines. Please note that the top line also needs to be changed, or rather, drawn next to another. On the shell, make a pattern in the form of three circles. Snails have not only upper "antennae" but also lower ones, so do not forget to draw them too.
4. Drawing of a snail in detail
First, remove the original contours of the neck line from the drawing. Then continue to draw the entire bottom line of the snail's body and make a small "tail". Duplicate the bottom outline of the torso shape with a parallel line. It will help to correctly draw the edges of the "sole" of the snail. In the same way, add a line along the edge of the shell. Also make two contours of the muscles that hold the shell. Next to the circles for the pattern, add some swirls.
5. How to draw a twisted shell pattern
Make pimples on the body of the snail. To do this, quickly draw small circles. On the shell of the snail there is a kind of twisted pattern, it is formed due to the reliefs of the shell. Copy the pattern from my drawing. On this snail drawing finished. You can start coloring the drawing with a simple pencil.
6. How to make shadows
To prevent the snail shell from merging with the body in the drawing, make the shadows on the shell darker than on the body. To do this, take the softest simple pencil. In addition, the shell must be drawn with white "veins". They will create relief on the surface of the snail shell. To do this, you will need pencils of different softness. Imagine from which side the sun shines on the snail, and accordingly, make shadows. In my drawing, the sun shines from the right side, so the shadow is under the shell.
Can draw a snail, crawling on a leaf of grapes, snails love grape leaves, and around it, additionally draw another surrounding landscape.
A ladybug, unlike a snail, must be painted with colored pencils or paints. In a black and white drawing, the brilliance of its bright and colorful color is lost.
The snake has almost no skeleton and is very plastic, this must be depicted in the drawing. A snake, like a snail, is easy enough to draw, since they have few intricate details.
