Drawing with a secret in three pairs of hands
When your child is 4 years old, we strongly advise you to resort to this method. It consists in the following. A rectangular sheet of paper is taken, 3 pencils. Adults and a child are distributed: who will draw the first, who will be the second, who will be the third. The first one starts drawing, and then closes his drawing, bending the leaflet on top and leaving a little bit, some part, to continue (the neck, for example). The second, not seeing anything but the neck, naturally continues the torso, leaving only part of the legs visible. The third one finishes. Then the whole sheet is opened - and almost always it turns out funny: from the mismatch of proportions, color schemes.
Blotography
It consists in teaching children how to make blots (black and multi-colored). Then a 3-year-old child can look at them and see images, objects or individual details. “What does your or my inkblot look like?”, “Whom or what does it remind you of?” - these questions are very useful, because develop thinking and imagination. After that, without forcing the child, but showing, we recommend moving on to the next step - tracing or drawing the blot. The result can be a whole story.
Drawing together on a long strip of paper
By the way, it is useful to change the paper format (that is, to give not only a standard). In this case, a long strip will help you draw together without interfering with each other. You can draw isolated objects or plots, i.e. work nearby. And even in this case, the child is warmer from the elbow of mom or dad. And then it is desirable to move on to collective drawing. Adults and the child agree on who will draw what to get one plot.
Drawing yourself or drawing from nature of your favorite toys
Drawing from nature develops observation, the ability to no longer create, but to depict according to the rules, i.e. draw so that it looks like the original in proportions, shapes, and colors. Suggest that you draw yourself first, looking in the mirror. And be sure to look in the mirror many times. Better yet, show how you adults will draw yourself, by all means looking in the mirror many times. Then let the child choose an object for himself. It can be a favorite doll, bear or car. It is important to learn to observe for a long time, comparing parts of the subject. And further. If a child moves away from nature, introduces something of his own, as a result of which a completely different object or toy appears, do not be upset. Praise your toddler: “You drew a new car today! Perhaps you want this?” But at the end of such a drawing, it is important to ask: “How does the drawn car differ from this one?”
"I draw my mother"
It would be good to continue drawing from life or drawing from memory (family members, relatives and friends can become objects for such an image). As supporting material, there may be photographs or conversations about the characteristic features of the appearance of absent relatives ... Photographs are taken and examined. A conversation is held: “Which grandmother Valya? What kind of hair does she have? Hairstyle? Favorite dress? Smile?" And the creative process begins. After a while, you can offer to draw girlfriends from memory. When there are enough drawings depicting relatives and friends, we advise you to organize a mini-exhibition “My relatives and friends”, where the first portraits of a preschooler are appreciated.
bitmap
Children love anything non-traditional. Drawing with dots refers to unusual, in this case, techniques. For implementation, you can take a felt-tip pen, a pencil, put it perpendicular to a white sheet of paper and start drawing. But here's the best way to get bitmaps with paints. Here's how it's done. A match, cleaned of sulfur, is tightly wrapped with a small piece of cotton wool and dipped in thick paint. And then the principle of drawing points is the same. The main thing is to immediately interest the child.
foam drawings
For some reason, we all tend to think that if we paint with paints, then we must also use a brush. Far from always, say Trizovites. Foam rubber can come to the rescue. We advise you to make a variety of various small geometric figures out of it, and then attach them with a thin wire to a stick or pencil (not sharpened). The tool is ready. Now you can dip it in paint and use the stamp method to draw red triangles, yellow circles, green squares (all foam rubber, unlike cotton wool, is well washed). At first, children will randomly draw geometric shapes. And then offer to make the simplest ornaments out of them - first from one type of figure, then from two, three.
Mysterious drawings
Mysterious drawings can be obtained as follows. A cardboard about 20x20 cm in size is taken. And it folds in half. Then a semi-woolen or woolen thread about 30 cm long is selected, its end is dipped in thick paint for 8-10 cm and clamped inside the cardboard. You should then move this thread inside the cardboard, and then take it out and open the cardboard. It turns out a chaotic image, which is examined, outlined and completed by adults with children. It is extremely useful to give names to the resulting images. This complex mental and speech work, combined with visual work, will contribute to the intellectual development of preschool children.
Drawing with crayons
Preschoolers love variety. These opportunities provide us with ordinary crayons, sanguine, coal. Smooth asphalt, porcelain, ceramic tiles, stones - this is the base on which chalk and coal fit well. So, asphalt disposes to a capacious image of plots. They (if there is no rain) can be developed the next day. And then make up stories according to the plots. And on ceramic tiles (which are sometimes stored in the remains somewhere in the pantry), we recommend depicting patterns, small objects with crayons or charcoal. Large stones (such as boulders) are asked to decorate them under the image of an animal's head or under a stump. It depends on what or whom the stone resembles in shape.
magic drawing method
This method is implemented like this. An image is drawn on white paper with the corner of a wax candle (a Christmas tree, a house, or maybe a whole plot). Then with a brush, and preferably with cotton wool or foam rubber, the paint is applied on top of the entire image. Due to the fact that the paint does not fall on the bold image with a candle, the drawing seems to appear suddenly before the eyes of the children, manifesting itself. You can get the same effect by first drawing with stationery glue or a piece of laundry soap. In this case, the selection of the background to the subject plays an important role. For example, it is better to paint over a snowman painted with a candle with blue paint, and a boat with green paint. No need to worry if candles or soap start to crumble while painting. It depends on their quality.
Drawing small pebbles
Of course, most often the child depicts on a plane, on paper, less often on asphalt, tiles of large stones. A flat image of a house, trees, cars, animals on paper is not as attractive as creating volumetric own creations. In this regard, sea pebbles are ideally used. They are smooth, small and have a different shape. The very shape of the pebble will sometimes tell the child what image to create in this case (and sometimes adults will help the kids). It is better to paint one pebble under a frog, another under a bug, and a wonderful fungus will come out of the third. Bright thick paint is applied to the pebble - and the image is ready. And it’s better to finish it like this: after the pebble dries, cover it with a colorless varnish. In this case, a voluminous beetle or a frog made by children's hands shines, brightly shimmers. This toy will participate in independent children's games more than once and bring considerable benefits to its owner.
Finger painting method
Here is another way to depict the world around you: with your fingers, palm, feet, and maybe with your chin, nose. Not everyone will take such a statement seriously. Where is the line between prank and drawing? And why should we draw only with a brush or felt-tip pen? After all, a hand or individual fingers is such a help. Moreover, the index finger of the right hand obeys the child better than a pencil. Well, if the pencil is broken, the brush is wiped off, the felt-tip pens are over - but you want to draw. There is another reason: sometimes the theme just asks for a child's hand or finger. For example, a child will better draw a tree with his hands than with other tools. With his finger, he will bring out the trunk and branches, then (if) he will apply yellow, green, orange paints to the inside of the hand and draw a crimson-mahogany tree on top. Well, if we teach children to use their fingers rationally: not just one index finger, but all.
Thread method
There is this method mainly for girls. But this does not mean that it is not suitable for children of the opposite sex. And it consists in the following. First, a screen 25x25 cm in size is made of cardboard. Either velvet paper or plain flannel is glued onto the cardboard. It would be nice to prepare a nice bag with a set of woolen or semi-woolen threads of various colors for the screen. This method is based on the following feature: threads with a certain percentage of wool are attracted to flannel or velvet paper. You just need to attach them with light movements of the index finger. From such threads you can prepare interesting stories. Develops imagination, sense of taste. Especially girls learn to skillfully select colors. Some thread colors are suitable for light flannel, and completely different colors for dark flannel. Thus begins the gradual path to the women's craft, needlework, which is very necessary for them.
Monotype method
Two words about this, unfortunately rarely used method. And in vain. Because he is fraught with a lot of tempting for preschoolers. In short, this is an image on cellophane, which is then transferred to paper. On smooth cellophane, I paint with paint using a brush, or a match with cotton wool, or a finger (no uniformity is needed). The paint should be thick and bright. And immediately, until the paint has dried, turn the cellophane over with the image down on white thick paper and, as it were, wet the drawing, and then lift it up. It turns out two drawings. Sometimes the image remains on cellophane, sometimes on paper.
Drawing on wet paper
Until recently, it was believed that you can only draw on dry paper, because the paint is sufficiently diluted with water. But there are a number of objects, plots, images that are better to draw on wet paper. We need ambiguity, vagueness, for example, if the child wants to depict the following topics: “City in the fog”, “I had dreams”, “It's raining”, “Night city”, “Flowers behind the curtain”, etc. You need to teach a preschooler to make the paper a little wet. If the paper is too wet, the drawing may not work. Therefore, it is recommended to soak a ball of cotton wool in clean water, wring it out and draw it either over the entire sheet of paper, or (if required) only over a separate part. And the paper is ready to produce vague images.
tissue images
We collect the remnants of fabrics of various patterns and different qualities in a bag. Useful, as they say, and chintz, and brocade. It is very important to show with concrete examples how the drawing on the fabric, as well as its dressing, can help to depict something very brightly and at the same time easily in the plot. Let's give some examples. So, on one of the fabrics flowers are depicted. They are cut out along the contour, glued (only with a paste or other good glue), and then they paint on a table or a vase. It turns out a capacious colorful image. There are fabrics that can serve well as a house or the body of an animal, or a beautiful umbrella, or a hat for a doll, or a handbag.
Volume application
Obviously, children love to do appliqué: cut something and stick it on, getting a lot of pleasure from the process itself. And you need to create all the conditions for them. Along with a planar application, teach them how to make a three-dimensional one: a three-dimensional one is better perceived by a preschooler and more realistically reflects the world around them. In order to obtain such an image, it is necessary to wrinkle applicative colored paper in children's hands, then slightly straighten it and cut out the required shape. After that, just stick it on and, if necessary, finish the individual details with a pencil or felt-tip pen. Make, for example, a turtle beloved by children. Remember the brown paper, flatten it slightly, cut out an oval shape and stick it on, then paint on the head and legs.
Drawing with postcards
In fact, almost every house has a lot of old postcards. Go through old postcards with the children, teach them to cut out the necessary images and stick them to the place, into the plot. A bright factory image of objects and phenomena will give even the simplest unpretentious drawing a completely artistic design. It is sometimes difficult for a three-, four- and even five-year-old child to draw a dog and a beetle. You can take them ready-made, and let him add the sun, rain to the dog and the bug and he will be very happy. Or if, together with the children, cut out from a postcard and stick on a fairy-tale house with a grandmother in the window, then a preschooler, guided by his imagination, knowledge of fairy tales and visual skills, will undoubtedly draw something for him.
Learning to make a background
Usually children draw on white paper. So you can see it more clearly. So faster. But some scenes require a background. And, I must say, all children's work looks better against a background made in advance. Many children make the background with a brush, moreover, an ordinary, small one. Although there is a simple and reliable way: make the background with cotton wool or a piece of foam rubber soaked in water and paint.
Collage
The concept itself explains the meaning of this method: several of the above are collected in it. In general, ideally, the following seems important to us: it is good when a preschooler is not only familiar with various image techniques, but also does not forget about them, but uses them appropriately, fulfilling a given goal. For example, one of the children 5-6 years old decided to draw, and for this he uses a bitmap (flowers), and the child draws the sun with his finger, he cuts fruits and vegetables from postcards, depicts the sky and clouds with fabrics, etc. There is no limit to improvement and creativity in visual activity. English teacher-researcher Anna Rogovin recommends using everything that is at hand for drawing exercises: draw with a cloth, paper napkin (folded many times); draw with dirty water, old tea leaves, coffee grounds, pomace from berries. It is also useful to paint cans and bottles, reels and boxes, etc.
Non-traditional drawing technique at school. Master class "We made compote"
The master class is designed for children in grades 2-3.
Purpose: such works can decorate exhibitions of children's art, or as a gift for Mother's Day.
Step by step workflow
Our work will look like this:
For work we need: a white thick sheet of paper or white cardboard, paints (preferably gouache), brushes, a jar of water, scissors, cotton swabs, a beautiful paper napkin, a narrow band 50 cm, 2-3 apples, a newspaper, a pencil.
First, let's figure out in which jar our compote will be. To do this, take a newspaper or just a sheet of paper and bend it in half. Let's draw half of the jar from the center of the sheet.
We cut out the template that we like best. We place it on a sheet of paper in the middle and circle it.
Now we take gouache paints. You can mix red, yellow and white. In order to get the color of the compote.
We cut our apples in half. It's better for adults to do it. (While the children come up with the shape of the jar and prepare the template, I cut 2-3 apples with them.)
Now the most interesting. We paint the cut at the apples with gouache paints. Take as little water as possible. Paints should be as thick as sour cream. You can mix different colors, like apples.
We turn the apple over with paint on the drawing and press it. If it doesn't work the first time, don't worry. The same apple can be used several times. We paint it and print it again. It turns out the print.
Where does this strange statement about myself “I can’t draw?” come from? Everyone knows how, only in their own way. So my child began to periodically get upset about something, that I don’t know how to draw it or it didn’t turn out beautifully. A friend of the artist suggested that I stop trying to draw according to the model, as they usually do in various drawing circles, and try non-standard ones. Suggested to try monotype. Further - more, I began to look for more options for similar techniques that reveal the individuality of the child. There was no end to them.
Some of it was familiar from childhood.
blots
Fold the sheet in half, open it and put colored spots on one of the halves with paint. then fold the sheet again and press firmly - iron it with your palm or attach a heavy book. We open it and consider what it turned out to be (the Rorschach test, it seems, was probably created)))) You can finish something if you want to add it.
Frottage
Remember? :)
A sheet of paper is placed on a flat embossed object and then, moving with an unsharpened colored pencil over the surface, you get an impression that imitates the main texture. You can rub the pencil crumbs in the same way, over the relief surface. Anyone who tried to draw on a table with a relief coating knows how this drawing technique can be included in a drawing completely uninvited :) Or you can create drawings by combining the relief of several objects. Here's the beauty:
Leaves are also imprinted in the same way.
It turns out drawing, and the disclosure of individuality, and the development of imagination, and confidence in one's ability to create, and many, many more useful moments for a child (and an adult) in such techniques. I love versatile things like
strollers 3 in 1 :)
imprints
Marble paper
- cream (foam) for shaving
- watercolors or food coloring
- flat dish for mixing shaving foam and paints
- paper
- scraper
Work plan:
- Apply shaving cream in an even, thick layer onto a plate.
- Mix different colors of paint or food coloring with a little water to make a rich solution.
- Using a brush or pipette, drop paint of different colors onto the surface of the foam in random order.
- Now, with the same brush or stick, beautifully smear the paint over the surface so that it forms fancy zigzags, wavy lines, etc. This is the most creative stage of the whole work, which will bring pleasure to children.
- Now take a sheet of paper and carefully place it on the surface of the resulting patterned foam.
- Put the sheet on the table. All you have to do is scrape off all the foam from the sheet of paper. For these purposes, you can use a piece of cardboard or a lid cut in half.
- Under a layer of shaving foam, you will find stunning marble patterns. The paint has soaked into the paper quickly, you just need to let it dry for a few hours.
Passepartout
This is when a child's doodles are inserted into a sheet with some form cut out. Here, for example, is a butterfly.
Monotype
Food film drawing
We apply spots of several colors of watercolor or gouache paint on the entire surface of the sheet. We put a film on top and draw, lightly pressing on the film, a variety of lines. Let the paint dry and remove the film. We bring the drawing to the end, with felt-tip pens or pencils.
soap painting
You can mix paints with soapy water and then apply patterns and shapes with a brush. When drawing, soap bubbles are formed, which create the texture of colorful strokes.
Wet surface painting
The technique is very simple: wet a paper sheet with water, let it dry for 30 seconds and start painting with watercolors. The paints spread in different directions and very interesting stains are obtained (dawn, clouds, trees, rainbow).
And further
1. Salt. Make a sketch on paper first. Moisten it with water with a brush, sprinkle with salt, wait until it absorbs water, sprinkle excess salt. When everything dries, draw the missing elements and color. Salt is good for drawing dragonflies, birds, jellyfish, butterflies, snow, smoke.
2. Wax. Prepare a sheet with animal silhouettes that you “draw” with a candle in advance. By painting over the drawing with paint, the child will unexpectedly “create” images of animals.
3. Foam rubber or sponge. Having dipped a sponge in thick gouache, a child can draw landscapes, bouquets of flowers, lilac branches, apple trees.
4. bunch of pencils. Tape a large sheet of paper securely. Gather colored pencils in a bundle so that the sharpened ends are at the same level. Have your child draw.
5. Crayons and starch. Pour a little starch onto a sheet of paper and spread evenly over the surface with your hands. Invite your child to draw with crayons on a slippery surface. It's best to use the base colors of the crayons so they give you new colors.
6. colored glue. Pour the glue into empty bottles, add a few drops of a different color to each, and you are ready to create artworks. Draw with colored glue on dark paper using the "drip" technique.
7. gauze swab. Invite your child to dip a gauze swab into the paint and draw clouds, soap bubbles, snowdrifts, ducklings, butterflies. The missing details must be completed with a brush or felt-tip pen.
Corn cobs. Think of an image. Dip the cob in the paint and roll it over a sheet of clean paper. Make an imprint with the "tail" of the corncob.
8. Blotography. Let the kid drip paint on the sheet, tilt it in different directions, and then finish drawing the blot so that some kind of image is obtained. Or the child dips the brush into the paint, then puts the inkblot on a sheet of paper and folds the sheet in half so that the “blot” is printed on the second half of the sheet. Then he unfolds the sheet and tries to understand who or what the drawing looks like. You can blow on the paint from a straw - also a way to give the blot a place to turn around :)
9. Dot drawing. The kid, with a light pressure of the pencil, outlines the preliminary outline of the object, then fills the space inside it with a dot technique using felt-tip pens or pencils of different colors.
10. splash painting. The most important thing here is to master the technique of "spraying". On a dry toothbrush with fairly stiff bristles, apply gouache, a little less than you usually put toothpaste. The consistency of paint is slightly thicker than paste, so water is usually not needed here. Hold the brush in your left hand with the bristles down at a distance of 3-4 cm from the paper and scrape the bristles towards you with a stick. Very beautiful multi-colored "spray" (salute) and yellow-red (golden autumn) on a white sheet; white "splash" on a dark blue background (winter landscape).
11. foot drawing. Tape a sheet of paper to the floor. Put a pencil between your toes and ask your child to draw something. You can create simultaneously with two feet on one sheet of paper. Tape a large sheet of paper to the wall and ask your child to draw something on it while lying on their back.

Hi all! We continue to give interesting ideas for educators, parents and teachers. And today we will talk about non-traditional drawing techniques. These ideas are suitable for kindergarten and school. Unconventional drawing does not mean something difficult. On the contrary, it is the non-traditional technique that turns art classes into simple and fun fun. No need to draw complex elements, no need to masterfully master the brush. This is why non-traditional techniques were created, because they SIMPLIFY the work of the child, EASIER the task of the teacher in methodological terms and give the child an amazing creative experience with an excellent end result. You will see what beautiful paintings and drawings you can make with simple non-traditional drawing techniques. The child will love your activities - he will be drawn to art when he feels that he can create beauty with his own hands.
I have sorted all the non-traditional drawing techniques into SEPARATE GROUPS - and I will explain and show everything in order.
unconventional drawing
PALM PRINTS
In kindergarten, in the classroom for fine arts, it is important to choose a job that will be feasible for young children. In the second younger group, children do not control the brush well, it is difficult for them to make the brush draw a line, an oval, a circle ... Therefore, at this age, quick and beautiful drawings using the technique of painting with palms are interesting.
You can draw such a cute family of chickens and chickens with children's hands.
Green paint will give you a print that can be played with a frog. The eyes can be drawn separately on white circles of paper (by the teacher themselves) and the children simply stick the eyes on the drawing with PVA glue.
Here is another example of an appliqué drawing in this non-traditional do-it-yourself painting technique. If we add lateral wings and sharp tips of the ears to the palm print, then we will get the silhouette of an owl. The background for such crafts can be chosen from black cardboard, stick a large circle of yellow paper (moon) on it. And already against the background of the lunar disk, make an imprint of an owl-palm. And then when the print dries, add a long branch on which this owl sits.
The palm acts as a template - first a sketch, circle the palm on a piece of paper, and then try to draw an eye here or there. And look closely, you will see which character is looking at you.
Same for crafts in non-traditional technique "Palm + paint" you need to prepare the background in advance. Or create a green lawn and a pond for ducks from colored paper. Or draw in advance - tint the sheet in blue and green paint, dry it and prepare for the lesson (hold it under a heavy press from books).
As you can see in the photo below, overhead parts can be added to the palm element of the picture - applications made of paper and other materials. Below is an example of how ordinary gray paper from a box can become a prototype for crafts. To make it easier for a small child to draw circle-face of a lion- Give him a jar lid template. Let the children trace the round cap around the center of the “cardboard mane” with a pencil and then carefully paint over the circle with paint - first stroke with a slow brush along the edge of the line, and then paint over the middle. We finish the black details of the mustache, nose and ears with a marker (the teacher himself when the craft dries).
In non-traditional palm painting, images of birds are often used. Here is a simple idea for drawing a sparrow in kindergarten. Easy and quick to draw with your own hands for children in the middle group.
And here are the ideas of non-traditional palm drawing for children of the middle and older groups. Craft MONKEY. Here you need to already correctly position the palm - so that the fingers are turned towards the vine, on which the monkey will hang. Then with a brush draw a beautiful curl of the tail. And already lay out the head from the paper application.
But the lesson on non-traditional drawing of the older group - here you first need to draw a tree (trunk, branches, leaves). The leaves are just marks from the brush (they pressed the brush sideways. They lifted it sharply up so that the mark would not be smeared). While the children are busy drawing the leaves, the trunk will dry out well and on it, as against a dry background, the imprint of a koala bear cub will already lie perfectly. A beautiful craft for both kindergarten and school (grades 1-4).
And here is a beautiful bright craft-drawing GIRAFFE. Here we also see the base of the handprint. But a long neck element with a head is added to the drawing. Before applying the spots and strokes of the mane, you must wait until the red base is completely dry. The mane is placed with the imprint of the brush - we put the brush on the side and sharply lift it up, we get a trace-imprint like a patch of mane hairs - we still give a lot of prints along the entire cervical spine of the giraffe. .Round spots are easier to draw with a cotton swab (the circles will not turn out even with a brush - not all children know how to draw a circle with a brush - this is a complex technique that they will master after they learn how to write letters).
For the older group of kindergarten, a palm drawing in the form of a rainbow magical unicorn is suitable. Great craft for girls. The horn will be drawn by the teacher.
And the boys will like the drawing in the form of a dragon - also in this technique.
Also, small children are very fond of collective crafts. Where the whole kindergarten group participates in one common art work. For example, on a large sheet of paper, outline the outlines of the future body of a peacock - and build around it the prints of the feathers of its magnificent tail. And then when the tail dries, you can stick the body itself along the center.
Drawing with FORKS.
non-traditional technique 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 smear, it will become easy and fast to draw even a small child.
Here is an example of such work for children in kindergarten. On a sheet of paper, the teacher draws a stump. From the stump comes up line is the AXIS of the future Christmas tree. We scoop up thick paint with a fork and apply prints in the direction from the side of the axis down. First, we process the right side of the axis, then the left side of the central rod of the Christmas tree.
And already the third stage - we put another layer of CENTRAL STROKE on top of these strokes - already more vertically down from the center, slightly diverging to the sides.
For comfort pour paint into bowls - jar lids are perfect.
AND to reduce paint consumption , gouache can be diluted with PVA glue - one to one, or in a different proportion. Valuable advice - do not buy SCHOOL PVA in small tubes - go to a 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 that bother you. In terms of chemical composition, it is exactly the same as school PVA glue. But at a price of 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 SPIKED elements of the picture - for example, a Hedgehog or a CACTUS.
Also, a fork will help draw furry characters. For example, a yellow fluffy CHICKEN, or a kitten, or a bear cub.
Since the paint already contains PVA glue, any paper parts (beak, eyes, ears, tails, etc.) can be glued onto wet paint that has not yet dried.
Also, the fork smear is similar to the plumage of birds. Therefore, you can draw any bird using this technique. This is how it happens you can see in the photo of the craft below - COCK..
METHODOLOGY OF TRAINING - classical.
On two sample drawings.
What is the best way to TEACH DRAWING in kindergarten. Here is a technique that has been working great in kindergarten for several years now. This technique allows you to get the CORRECT children's drawing the first time. Let's analyze it using the example of the same COCK from the picture above.
STAGE 1
We seat the children on a high chair (in 2 rows) in front of one table. On it, the teacher will make a show. On a piece of paper there is already the outline of a rooster, drawn in pencil. In three bowls different paint is poured - 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 what is wrong and what is right. Let the children make sure in your example that it is better to draw lines ALONG the neck, and ALONG the lines of the tail, and not across.
STAGE 2
They drew 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 be done?”. Children prompt, you "mow", children correct you, prompt as it is necessary - you are corrected and continue to make mistakes, then correct. Now already children act as a “knowledgeable teacher”. After this game on drawing the second rooster. The children themselves sit down at the tables, where the same pencil rooster is waiting for them and, already with knowledge of the matter, each perform their craft.
As you can see, the demonstration technique always works better on 2-way training drawings by the teacher's hand.
- The first drawing, where the teacher does everything himself (teaching and explaining to children)
- The teacher performs the second drawing at the prompts of the children (“mistaking” and correcting).
- The third drawing is already done by each child himself, at his desk, with an intelligent, learned look.
Unconventional DRAWING
FOOT PRINTS
The imprint of a child's foot, like the palms, can be turned into an interesting drawing. A variety of characters can hide in a child's footprint.
These paintings can be created using the technique of unconventional drawing from the usual print of a child's foot.
I will say right away that in the realities of a kindergarten (where there are 30 children in a group) such foot painting 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 washbasin and wash their hands with soap. When drawing with his 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…
Such drawing can be done as a specially organized individual lesson. Children are divided into groups of 4 people. One child gives his legs 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 whole process. Before going to bed when the children are barefoot. Let the child step on a piece of foam rubber soaked in paint. And then immediately onto a piece of paper. And then immediately not a thick wet soapy terry towel, then into a basin of water ... and sleep in a crib.
That is, you need to buy a sheet of foam rubber(it is cheap in the construction department, sold by the meter). Wet the foam rubber, dilute the paint lightly with water so that it is well absorbed into the foam rubber (like ink in printing), put the foam rubber sheet on a plastic tray. Nearby, on the second plastic tray, there is a wet soapy towel (for wiping the paint), then there is a bowl of water, and a dry towel. There is a chair next to each tray and basin. Three chairs + three elements (coloring, soapy, rinsing, wiping).
It turns out the conveyor- the child sits on the first chair (steps on foam rubber with paint, hop - raises his leg), move the tray with foam rubber, put a sheet of paper in its place (hop - printed). The child moves his ass to the second chair, next to which is a tray with a soapy towel (hop-soaped his leg, wiped off the paint). The child moves his ass to the third chair, next to which is a basin of water, a rag floats in it (hop - we wash off the soapy foot, where we need three rags). And wipe with a dry towel.
Everyone is happy. Except for the sanitation station. It does not allow collective rinsing in one basin. The sanitary station requires 20 basins for 20 children, and 20 soapy towels ... 20 dry towels)))

HATCH method
And here is another beautiful technique for kindergarten. Where the drawing elements are created by hatching. It turns out an interesting texture of the image. This method is convenient to draw everything fluffy and furry.
The technique is well shown by the example of such a craft-HARE.
The drawing of a hare is divided into SERIES-SECTORS, each of which is shaded. We get even rows of hatching.
Here is a life size template for this craft.
You can modify this craft and present it as an appliqué. 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 HATCH method can be used to create any other furry character. For example, a fluffy ostrich.
That is, the teacher gives the child a sheet of paper - on which the eyes and beak of an ostrich are drawn. The task of the child around the eyes is to draw a fluffy cloud of strokes with a pencil or wax crayons. And then under the resulting fluffy ball, draw the neck, too, in rows of strokes. The teacher can help the children by drawing the circumference 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 arrange it in the form of SECTORS for hatching - a cat, a parrot, a dog, and so on.
DRAWING in kindergarten
COTTON STUD
(unconventional technique).
All of us in kindergarten drew a FLUFFY DANDELION craft - using cotton swabs. Here it is (photo below). Let's think about what other pictures you can draw with a cotton swab.
Although even from a simple DANDELION theme, you can create an unconventional pattern - BRIGHT JUICY, as in the photo below.
For young children, it is best to use the technique of PUMPING WITH COTTON STICKS, to offer to draw only SOME ELEMENTS of the characters - only the tail of the fox, only the needles of the hedgehog.
That is, a teacher in a kindergarten combines the work of drawing a wadded stick with an application. First, on a piece of paper, the child makes an applique of a hedgehog muzzle (made of brown paper) and a hedgehog back skin (made of white paper). And then this skin-back needs to be completely stuck with multi-colored prints of a cotton swab. A fun children's drawing and sticking activity.
You can use cotton swab drawing using the ZONE FILL technique. On a sheet of paper, the outlines (silhouette) of a character are drawn with a pencil - for example, a seahorse. The child must fill this entire area, leaving no empty spaces and not crawling out of the pencil border. This is difficult, the child does not always see where it is thick and where it is empty. The teacher needs to repeat all the time looking for empty holes, filling the holes with different colors of dots, and not with dots of the same color.
Here the brain works, and attentiveness, and fine motor skills of the hands, and a sense of color. After all, you need to feel how you distribute the color over the zone - evenly or everything is yellow at the top, and everything is blue at the bottom.
Such a task can begin to be given in the younger group and then in the older one - and even an adult will learn something in such training for a sense of color and composition.
You can also make CHAIN PATTERNS with a cotton swab. Like the rows of rings on the cacti below.
And also with dots you can draw whole pictures. This technique of non-traditional drawing can be called POINT-GRAPHY.
The most interesting thing is to select dots of different shades and place them in different ways on the objects of the image.
You can start this kind of drawing with small tasks. Pieces of landscape, elements of architecture.
There is an artist Angelo Franco who paints pictures using the POINT TO POINT technique. Here are large dots, contain smaller ones inside.
With a cotton swab and paints, you can draw beautiful MANDALA (photo below). Mandalas are circular patterns, symmetrical and multicolored. The birthplace of mandalas is the East. There are still laid out patterns of colored pebbles, colored sand, or flower petals.
For children, we must give ready-made graphic mandala templates with a given pattern. And the child's task is to REPEAT EXACTLY EXACTLY in each of the symmetrical zones of the mandala with a stick. That is ... if in one zone you made 2 yellow poke on a petal, then in the remaining zones you need to make 2 yellow poke, on the same petal, in the same place on the petal.
You can find many round mandalas for painting on the Internet. Choose the ones that are simple and easy to make for children of a certain age.
You can draw dotted mandalas and on plastic plates. As in the photo below.
You need to start drawing mandalas when the child has already mastered the elementary count up to 5. And he can count the number of TYKOVs 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 the child's mind, his mathematical abilities, constructive thinking, the ability to plan the result, calculate the drawing.
Drawing WITH A WET EFFECT.
(unconventional ways).
Here is another unconventional watercolor painting technique. Here we put a watercolor diluted with water on a sheet of paper and blow on it from a tube. We get watery stains and colorful streams. For such a 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 activities classes in kindergarten and at school. We give the child a drawing of a face (boy or girl) and the task of the child is to blow out the HAIR HAIR for these characters.
You can use a board on which we attach a sheet of paper with a clothespin. We put 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 hill.
If part of the sheet is temporarily sealed with a piece of masking tape, then we will have an empty, unpainted place on the sheet. And then in this place you can place the application of someone under an umbrella. Here's how it's done in the photo below.
In the younger group of kindergarten, children will really like to draw cool monsters. Krakozyabra can be inflated from the tube in any direction. And then, after drying, stick application elements on them.
Now I want to introduce you to another technique - SOAP + PAINT. Pour ordinary liquid soap into cups, or liquid for soap bubbles - add a little gouache to each cup. We get a multi-colored soap paint. We 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 arranged into an interesting picture.
Bubble clouds can be LUFFY PEONS (as in the photo below). Bubbly areas can be scalloped on sea waves, like curly lamb skins, etc.
You can simply blow bubbles on the surface of a sheet of paper with a straw, and then cut out a craft application from this multi-colored sheet. An interesting idea for kindergarten classes.
You can also paint with splashes - just SPLASH multi-colored paint onto the paper. The best thing for this is a toothbrush.
unconventional drawing
WAX-GRAPHY method.
Here is another technique that can be called CANDLE GRAPHICS, or WAX GRAPHICS.
Suitable for this technique white candle wax (or paraffin). It can also be a children's wax crayon for drawing (but not any). Choose chalk that is more oily to the touch. Check in advance how the crayons work.
Now let's act. Draw a picture on a piece of white paper with white chalk. Then we take watercolor (not gouache !!!) and begin to apply watery (not thick !!!) paint over the lines drawn in chalk. That is, we simply paint over our sheet of paper with colored watery paints and an 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).
Night rain over water looks beautiful. The slanting lines of rain, diverging circles on the water - it's all wax. And then we paint over with dark blue paint and get a beautiful picture of rain.
You can draw jellyfish and sea creatures with wax. And then apply dark (blue-violet-black) tones and the 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 is found in the depths of the seas. He paints a sheet of paper with paint and all these creatures appear under his brush.
Important rule. Before class, teach the children to IRON a sheet of paper with a wet brush, and NOT TO RUB THE SHEET WITH A BRUSH, LIKE A WASTE. Otherwise, the wax pattern may be damaged.
NIGHT pictures look beautiful in this technique. With wax we draw one line of the horizon, then waves, a wax moon path and a moon disk on the upper half of the sheet. Now we paint over it in the colors of the night and get the sea, the moon and the white moon path.
WINTER pictures look good too. The white lines of the wax drawing as elements of white snow, the outlines of snowdrifts, the silhouette of a snowman, snow-covered huts - we draw all this with wax. Then the child applies blue or blue paint and a winter landscape appears on the sheet.
But important- before giving these pictures to children, check for yourself whether the quality of the wax is suitable. Do the lines of the drawing appear? What layer of paint to put (what degree of paint dilution with water)?
unconventional drawing
In the PRINT technique.
All children love this drawing technique. Because it gives a quick and beautiful result for every child. Even the most inept artist makes beautiful paintings. Children perceive the whole process as magic, an exciting game with the magical effect of the appearance of a picture.
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 piece of crumpled paper.
Wrinkled paper gives a beautiful torn structure to the print. This is suitable for painting the crowns of spring (yellow-green or pink) and autumn (orange-crimson) trees. The paint is taken from jars or watercolors, dripped onto a bowl (jar lid). We dip a napkin into this drop, try the print on a draft sheet and, if you like, transfer it to paper.
OPTION 2 - corrugated cardboard.
Packing gray cardboard is great for painting a rose using the print technique. We cut the cardboard box into strips across the corrugation line. We twist the strips with a tube, fix with an elastic band or thread. We make a stamp for a green leaf from a toilet paper roll.
Also, this ROLL drawing method is suitable for the image of the SNAIL SPIRAL, You can also make the LAMB SKIN CURL.
OPTION 3 - fluffy pompoms.
In craft stores (or craft sites) you can buy a bag of these soft pompoms. If you attach a clothespin to each, we get a convenient holder for work. Using the pompom-graphy technique, you can create decor for painting flat parts of handicrafts. And also paint pictures of white airy dandelions in watercolor.
OPTION 4 - toilet paper sleeve.
There are a lot of options, because the tube-sleeve can be given a different shape. You can cut the sleeve in half ALONG, and we 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 get a pointed oval - this is the shape of a flower petal, or bunny ears. Great idea for non-traditional drawing in kindergarten with younger children (bunny) or older children (flower).
A flower is more complicated than a bunny because you need to RADIALLY line up 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 of the younger group. And even for the smallest kids in the nursery.
OPTION 5 - bubble wrap.
Wrapping film with bubbles also gives an interesting print pattern that can be played with non-traditional drawing in kindergarten. For example, make an imprint of honeycombs (as in the figure below).
Or make a drawing of a spring or autumn tree.
OPTION 6 - potato stamps.
From potato halves, you can cut stamps of any shape. Cut the potatoes in half. We wipe the wet potato slice with a paper towel. On the cut with a marker, 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 the child's hand can comfortably grasp the potatoes. Below in the photo we present only two themes for such unconventional drawing - owls and tulips. But you can come up with your own options. If PVA glue is added to the paint, then details (eyes, nose, pens) can be glued over the prints.
You can make an experimental double stamp. Cut out the halves of the champs from two potatoes and fasten the two potatoes together by piercing them through with a toothpick and wrapping them with electrical tape or tape. Take a swing at a cool idea and experiment with creating stamps for it.

FLUSH paints.
And here is another cool material for non-traditional drawing, which is so loved by young children. This is a VOLUME PAINT for creating puffy drawings. This paint is made at home quickly and simply - in a bowl, mix PVA glue with gouache and add dad's shaving foam. We make several of these bowls (not necessarily large ones) under the idea that we will draw with children. For a watermelon, you need only two paints - that's where you start. Watermelon pits are a simple black gouache that we drip here and there.
A variety of ideas can be embodied in this drawing technique for children in kindergarten. The simplest is a waffle cone with ice cream. The horn is cut out of rough packaging cardboard, on it we draw a waffle grid with a marker. The child glues the horn on a sheet of paper (below) and lays out round balls of a three-dimensional pattern on it. You can give the child round templates, which he will first circle with a pencil over the edge of the horn, and then foamy paint will be placed in these round contours.
And you can also put a few spoons of different paint on the horn and then with the back end of the brush (or a wooden stick) mix the paint into multi-colored stains. You will get a beautiful mix ice cream. Great craft for kids in school or kindergarten in drawing class.
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 is better when each child makes a colored mixture himself - therefore we give each child his own oilcloth.
We put individual oilcloths for children on each table. In the center of the table we put bowls with 4 colors of paints. The child on his oilcloth mixes these colors into a common puddle - to the state of beautiful stains. Then he applies a paper outline of a character (for example, a seahorse) to the puddle. And then he lays it to dry (the contours of the skates must be signed in advance with the name of the child, and do not forget to remind the children to apply the unsigned side to the paint). Then the next day, when the foam paint dries on the silhouette of the skate, you can continue to work and make an application of the skate in sea waters, finish painting spikes, algae around it, stick shells, pour sand on the glue.
Here are some interesting drawing techniques you can try with children, both at home and in the garden. At school, this non-traditional drawing can be carried out in the lessons of fine arts, leaving the whole process to the child for independent creativity.
On the pages of our site you will find many more different techniques for unusual painting with paints.
We already have detailed detailed articles on the topic:
Good luck with your creativity.

Probably all the kids love it paint. And they especially welcome non-traditional ways of drawing. But it plays into our hands, because any drawing promotes development of creative thinking, imagination, creativity, expansion of ideas about the world around. It also develops fine motor skills of the hand, trains the muscles of the hand, prepares the hand for writing.
Shaving foam - very unusual drawing surface. The paint on it can be stretched and twisted with beautiful lines, curls and other patterns. Sometimes it resembles paper quilling. Each drawing is unique! At drawing the principle of monotype is used on the foam - drawing with unique prints. We use dried paper in the classroom, for wrapping gifts, and even for further drawing!
Materials and tools:
flat tray, lid or plate, or just an A-4 sheet.
shaving foam,
We take ANY colors!
a thin brush or toothpicks, combs, foam pads, brushes of different sizes.
Ruler (we took plastic) or strips of thick cardboard.
a pack of napkins, you can put a basin of water to rinse the ruler.
And also ENTHUSIASM, GOOD MOOD, CREATIVITY!
First, let's prepare the work surface)
Apply some foam to a tray or sheet A-4.
Use a ruler or a strip of cardboard to level, smooth the foam over the surface
Armed with ANY PAINTS, we begin paint…
We painted today only with brushes, it turned out like this ....
When the image is ready, attach a sheet of paper to it and press it so that the image is printed on the sheet, but you should not press the sheet too hard.
Careful not to smudge the drawing, peel off the paper and lay it foam-side up for a few minutes to absorb the ink
Remove the remaining foam from the drawing by running a ruler or cardboard over it.
Let's leave the drawing to dry.
And here's what we ended up with...
And with the remaining foam, you can think of a lot more) For example, to mold something from it
Or you can invite your child to play with multi-colored foam - touch it with your palm and remove your hand, touch it again, collect foam in your palm and clench your hand into a fist, stretch or pass between your fingers.
Relaxation of fingers and palms, unusual pleasant sensory sensations, useful for development, as well as positive emotions for the child are provided
Role drawing in the formation of speech in a child is great. As we know, adults - stimulation of fine motor skills, namely the movement of fingers hands: fast, slow, conscious, leads to an increase and activation of speech activity. The more attention is paid to this during the period when the child begins to speak, the faster the process of speech production goes.
Drawing in turn performs two functions: aesthetic perception of the world through drawing and increased speech activity.
In addition, it is very pleasant to see joyful and desired fruits. enlightenment: skills drawing, joy in the eyes of the child, the immense happiness that he receives from his creativity.
