Consultation “Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten”
Unconventional drawing techniques
in the development of preschool children
Preschool age is a sensitive period for the development of productive activities: drawing, modeling, applique and design. In them, the baby can express his attitude to the world around him, develop creative abilities, as well as oral speech and logical thinking.
Children's fine art is a world of bright, amazing images. It often amazes adults with its spontaneity, originality, and wild imagination. Preschoolers draw a lot and with great desire. Children are very inquisitive, their interests go beyond the family and kindergarten, the world around them attracts them. Through productive activities, children develop a stable interest in visual arts and develop their abilities.
In our time, the comprehensive education of a new person and the further increase in his creative activity are of paramount importance. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a sense of beauty, to form high aesthetic tastes, the ability to understand and appreciate works of art, the beauty and richness of our native nature.
We successfully used the method of introducing children to the visual activities of T. S. Komarova, but during the classes we were always struck by the monotony technician, proposed to depict an image, so children are happy to draw with their fingers, plasticine, etc.
Having studied the works of various authors, such as G. B. Kibisheva program "Inspiration", I. A. Lykova - “Methodological manual for specialists of preschool educational institutions”, T. N. Doronova - “Nature, art and visual activities of children” R. G. Kazakova "Visual activities in kindergarten» we found a lot of interesting ideas and set ourselves the following tasks:
Form in children technical drawing skills.
Introduce children to various unconventional drawing techniques.
Learn to create your own unique image using various drawing techniques.
In the artistic and aesthetic development of children, what is important is the ability to perceive a work of art and independently create an expressive image that is distinguished by originality and independence.
Correct technical Children's skills and abilities are formed gradually, from lesson to lesson. As a result of a thoughtful learning process drawing Children master the correct methods not through dry exercises, but by solving a variety of visual problems that are interesting to them.
Technical The side of visual activity is subordinated to the task of creating an expressive image in a drawing. It is this goal that determines the choice of this or that material for classes. drawing. When thinking through the lesson, I select the material in which the image of the object can be particularly expressive, interesting, beautiful, and will give children aesthetic pleasure. But this will be possible only if they well master the visual and expressive capabilities of each material.
For drawing in kindergarten one can imagine various materials: simple and colored pencils; watercolor and gouache paints; wax crayons; markers; watercolor crayons; pastel; coal; sanguine; plasticine and ink. In the practice of teaching children visual arts, we widely use a variety of materials, and convinced: Children like novelty. They draw with great interest even with a simple graphite pencil, using different pressures to convey the shadows of the subject.
Gradually, as children master the skills of working with various materials, we try to lead them to a conscious choice of material to create their image. A very important point here is that the child shows independence, gets the opportunity draw with this material which he liked better. When at the end of the lesson the child sees his drawing among other works, he will notice the diversity technical solution images. Then in the next lesson his choice may be different. The child must feel the possibility of choice. This contributes to the development of his creativity. It is very important to master technical skills and abilities allowed children to depict the world in all its diversity.
For several years now I have been widely using various types of unconventional drawing techniques.
"Palette fingers" – finger painting.
Don't have a brush at hand? No problem! Let's dip one finger in red paint, another in blue, a third in yellow... What a palette.
It's not difficult, but very interesting technique, which will really appeal to children of all ages. They draw with great pleasure.
^ Finger training drawing goes in several stages.
First, children draw with one finger, then with several. At this stage, acquaintance with color, shape, rhythm and position in space occurs. We decorate butterflies, fish and a clearing with elements such as dots, strokes, and spirals.
At the second stage, children learn to mix paints. Each finger is dipped in different paints and colors are applied on color. By mixing colors, children achieve the desired shade. For example, with children of the middle group we painted"fluffy bear".
By the preparatory group, children are already fluent in "finger" technology» and come up with topics for themselves drawing, using in the plot such techniques as poking, smearing, mixing paints. "Finger method" children painted plots for Aksakov's fairy tale "The Scarlet Flower". The work turned out to be very successful.
^ Next technique - palm painting.
This method very well develops the creativity of children of primary preschool age. They not only see the paint, but also feel it.
Next non-traditional form of education which I use in my work is line drawing.
With the help of a stroke, you can tell about the nature of the object, the properties of the material, convey not only lightness, softness, smoothness, but also heaviness, gloominess, sharpness, aggressiveness and, most importantly, reveal the image of the hero, his attitude to the environment. Also drawing the stroke prepares the hand very well for writing. From the middle group, children draw on Topics: "Chick" And "Cockerel with his family". This is not a complicated and quite expressive method. drawing, in particular animals, allowing you to convey their characteristic features using various types of shading.
From analysis children's works, we can conclude that not all children are able to control the amplitude of oscillations of their hand. The strokes are of different sizes, sometimes with little pressure on the pencil. Therefore, we recommend that teachers with children exercise their hand more often in their free time to strengthen their shading skills.
Also very interesting is the technique - drawing on wet paper. In this technique used in working with children of senior preschool age.
Painting with watercolors is more difficult than gouache, but very interesting. Paint You can use it only on white paper, diluting the paints with water. The more water, the more transparent the color of the paints. The works turn out to be very delicate and elegant. Children especially like it draw using this technique"Sea", both in calm and quiet weather, and in a storm.
^ Drawing with wax crayons, candle and watercolor.
This method has long been used by folk craftswomen when painting Easter eggs. In this technique we drew on the topic"Vologda lace".
We also use this new drawing technique, like grattage.
Interesting in this technology took classes on Topics: "Winter forest", "Walk in the park", "Night Tales".
^ Brushstroke painting.
Paint Children really like brush strokes. The work turns out rich and interesting. Not all children get the right smear. For some it is very long, for others it just looks like a dip. Therefore more is recommended paint in free time for such Topics: "Grass", "Herringbone" and so on.
Such techniques are also very interesting drawing, as – monotype and diotype (signet technique) .
This method helps develop fantasy, imagination, sense of color and shape. With children we painted"City in Rainy Weather", "Trees reflected in the river". Children enjoyed drawing, they were interested in how one half of a drawing turns into a whole drawing, and even a painting.
The kids liked it too technique, like batik - painting on fabric, stylization - submission to certain rules. This is a very difficult, but interesting job that contributes to the development of creativity in children. We are with the children painted"Willow in a Vase". The children performed well; each of their works was unique. They showed limitlessness children's creativity.
Another unconventional technique - spraying. It's not very simple technique. Its essence is to splash drops of paint. To do this we use a toothbrush and a toothbrush. Drawings on Topics: "Snowfall", "Leaf Fall". It's complicated technique, children do not succeed at it right away, but despite this, the work brings satisfaction.
^ Drawing with plasticine. This technique requires perseverance, patience and desire to see things through to the end. With the children of the older group we painted"Swan Lake", "Parrot", and with the children of the preparatory group we held a creative lesson on the topic "Tales of A. S. Pushkin".
In our work we also use other unconventional drawing techniques:
- chalk drawing;
- drawing with charcoal and sanguine;
- drawing using natural materials;
African painting;
- poke drawing(with a hard brush);
- drawing with semolina;
- drawing with threads.
It's safe to say that diversity technician promotes expressiveness of images in children's works.
Experience has shown that mastery technology images bring true joy to children if they are built taking into account the specifics of the activity and age of the children. They happily cover one sheet of paper after another with spots, strokes, and strokes, depicting either autumn leaves swirling in the air or snowflakes smoothly falling to the ground. Children boldly take on art materials; children are not afraid of their diversity and the prospect of independent choice. They take great pleasure in the process of doing it. Children are ready to repeat this or that action many times. And the better the movement turns out, the more pleasure they repeat it, as if demonstrating their success, and rejoice, attracting the attention of an adult to their achievements.

Target : attracting parents' attention to the value of children's visual creativity and the benefits of non-traditional drawing techniques. Tasks: introduce parents to non-traditional drawing techniques; promote understanding of the importance of developing children's creativity.
Dear parents!
Today we will visit the country of Creativity, get acquainted with the traditions of this country and its characteristics. Someone will tell us all this is known, but I really hope that some discoveries await everyone. Did everyone draw as a child? And who continues to draw now?
Drawing is an essential stage in the development of every person. We all drew as children: some in albums, some with chalk on the asphalt, some on wallpaper or linoleum. Creative activity is of great importance for the development and upbringing of children. Products of visual activity (drawings, crafts, etc.) are an image of reality that reflects the child’s inner world, his emotional experiences, relationships with the outside world; from the drawings one can determine the state of the intellect, its performance, the level of development of mental processes, and mood. Creative activity can play a major role in a child’s development due to its accessibility. How to teach a child to draw if you don’t know how to do it yourself? Don't rush to get upset. There are many techniques with which you can create original works, even without artistic skills. Both you and your child will receive not only pleasure from such activities, but also many benefits.
So, let's learn how to draw unusual drawings with ordinary objects!

Non-traditional drawing techniques in joint activities of children and parents
The artist wants to paint
Let them not give him a notebook...
That's why the artist and the artist -
He draws wherever he can...
He draws a stick on the ground,
In winter, a finger on the glass,
and writes with charcoal on the fence,
and on the wallpaper in the hallway.
Draws with chalk on a blackboard
Writes on clay and sand,
Let there be no paper at hand,
And there is no money for canvases,
He will draw on stone
And on a piece of birch bark.
He will paint the air with fireworks,
Taking a pitchfork, he writes on the water,
An artist, therefore an artist,
Which can draw everywhere.
Who is stopping the artist?
He is depriving the earth of its beauty!
“The origins of children’s abilities and talents are at their fingertips. From the fingers, figuratively speaking, come the finest threads - streams that feed the source of creative thought. In other words, the more skill in a child’s hand, the smarter the child.”
V.A. Sukhomlinsky
It is known that drawing is one of the most favorite children's activities, which cultivates many positive qualities in a child, such as perseverance and patience, attentiveness, imagination, ability to think and much more. All of them will be very useful to the baby in later life.
Along with traditional methods of depicting an object or object on paper (drawing with pencils, brushes and paints, gouache), I also use non-traditional techniques in my work. I think that they attract the attention of little fidgets more. They are interesting to children of all ages and allow them to reach their full potential during the creative process. The work of creating drawings is not difficult, so kids do it with pleasure, acquiring skills in working with materials and becoming familiar with painting.
To instill a love of fine art and arouse interest in drawing, starting from a young age, I advise parents to use unconventional methods of depiction. Such unconventional drawing gives children a lot of positive emotions, reveals the possibility of using objects well known to them as artistic materials, and surprises them with their unpredictability.
Organize your workspace at home so that it is comfortable for your child not only to sit, but also to stand, and sometimes even move around a piece of paper. After all, you can draw any way, anywhere and with anything!
Be friends with your child. Try to understand what makes him happy, what makes him sad, what he strives for. Ask him to tell you what he wanted to depict. And do not forget that the child expects praise from you. He really wants you, adults, to like his work. Rejoice at his successes and under no circumstances ridicule the young artist if he fails. No problem next time!
Unconventional drawing techniques- these are methods of drawing with various materials: foam rubber, crumpled paper, tubes, threads, paraffin candles, dry leaves; drawing with palms, fingers, blunt ends of pencils, cotton swabs, etc.
They are different for each age group.
With kids junior preschool age can be used:
finger painting
painting with cotton swabs
poke with a hard semi-dry brush
palm painting
Children middle preschool age You can introduce more complex techniques:
foam rubber impression
stencil printing
candle and watercolor
spray
poking
IN senior preschool age children can master even more difficult methods and techniques:
regular blotography
drawing with a toothpick
monotype
batik
Each of these methods is a little game. Their use allows children to feel more relaxed, bolder, develops imagination and freedom for self-expression, and the work also contributes to the development of coordination of movements.
Non-traditional artistic and graphic techniques:
Punching
Since little children are always happy to stamp everything they can, they always like this drawing technique. Using a stamp made in advance (this could be the bottom of a plastic bottle, a lid, a cut from a potato, an apple, etc., covered with paint), imprints are applied to the paper, creating a design that can later be supplemented.
"Leaf Print"- different leaves from different trees are used. They are covered with paint using a brush, leaving no empty spaces; this is done on a separate sheet of paper. Then the painted side is pressed tightly against the paper, being careful not to move it from its place. The leaves can be reused by applying a different color to it; when mixing paints, an unusual shade can be obtained, the rest is painted with a brush. The results are magnificent landscapes.
"Drawing with palm or fingers"
The child dips his palm (the entire brush) into the gouache or paints it with a brush (from the age of five) and makes an imprint on paper. They draw with both the right and left hands, painted in different colors. After work, wipe your hands with a napkin, then the gouache is easily washed off.
"Imprint with crumpled paper"
The child crumples the paper in his hands until it becomes soft. Then he rolls it into a ball. Its dimensions may vary. After this, the child presses the crumpled paper to a stamp pad with paint and makes an impression on the paper.
"Paper Rolling"- take the paper and crumple it in your hands until it becomes soft. Then a ball is rolled out of it. The sizes can be different (small is a berry, large is a snowman). After this, the paper ball is dipped in glue and glued to the base.
"Drawing with cotton swabs"
It is very easy to draw with cotton swabs. We dip the stick in water, then in paint and put dots on the sheet. What to draw? Whatever! The sky and the sun, a house in the village, a river, cars, dolls. The main thing in this matter is desire!
"Drawing on wet paper."
The sheet is moistened with water, and then the image is applied with a brush or finger. It will turn out to be blurry in the rain or fog. If you need to draw details, you need to wait until the drawing dries or put thick paint on the brush.
“Drawing with a toothbrush and disposable forks”
A brush or fork is dipped in paint and an imprint is made on paper. You can drag a brush over a sheet, you will get waves, wind, stream, etc.
"Blotography"
A blot is an integral part of every child. Therefore, this technique is very close in spirit to children. To work you need paper, a brush and paints. Paint is drawn onto the brush and dripped from a height onto the paper. By turning the sheet or blowing on it, the blot blurs, forming an interesting image.
"Plasticineography"- the plasticine needs to be heated (can be in a container with hot water). Cardboard is used, and plasticine is fixed to a surface with a pre-drawn background and outline using the technique of pressing and flattening.
"Drawing with Soap Bubbles"
Soap bubbles are a well-known children's pastime. Fragile, transparent, they shimmer so beautifully with different colors of the rainbow and create a feeling of celebration. And you can also draw with them.
Drawings using this unusual technique also turn out to be very unusual, and the activity brings joy to children. Plus, the prints turn out different every time, so it's very interesting to experiment with them and then imagine what they look like.
"Nitcography"
There are two options for working with this technique. For each of them you will need paints with a brush, a container for them, threads and paper. In the first case, paint of any color you like is applied to the thread. The paper needs to be folded in half. The colored thread is laid out on one side, and the other is covered. The thread is then pulled out. When a child unfolds a piece of paper, there is some image there, which he can then complete at his own discretion. The second method also involves using glue. The drawing is created by gluing threads to paper in the form of a particular object.
"Batik"
Batik is a very old painting technique. At the same time, the fabric is painted. The design is applied to the fabric using special paints.
Drawing with non-traditional techniques:
- helps relieve children's fears;
- develops self-confidence;
- develops spatial thinking;
- teaches children to freely express their ideas;
- encourages children to creative searches and solutions;
- teaches children to work with a variety of materials;
- develops a sense of composition, rhythm, color - perception;
- develops fine motor skills of the hands;
- develops creativity, imagination and flight of fancy;
- while working, children receive aesthetic pleasure.
Non-traditional drawing allows you to reveal the creative potential of the child; gradually increase interest in artistic activity, develop mental processes. It allows children to feel more relaxed, bolder, develops imagination, and gives complete freedom for self-expression.
Tips for parents:
materials (pencils, paints, brushes, felt-tip pens, wax crayons, etc.) must be placed in the baby’s field of vision so that he has a desire to create;
introduce him to the surrounding world of things, living and inanimate nature, objects of fine art,
offer to draw everything that the child likes to talk about, and talk with him about everything that he likes to draw;
do not criticize the child and do not rush, on the contrary, from time to time encourage the child to practice drawing;
praise your child, help him, trust him, because your child is individual!
Practical advice for parents:
"Unconventional ways of drawing"
Depicting various objects is a fun activity for children of any age. Children show interest in visual arts at a young age. Children of older preschool age need to be taught drawing skills.
There are many different drawing techniques for kids, but adults can also invent their own, thereby introducing the child to the world of beauty. You can draw at any time and use various materials, it all depends on your imagination.
Look at the pictures with your child, ask him questions about what is depicted (people, trees, fruits and vegetables), explain that there are such genres of fine art as portraits, landscapes, and still lifes. Perhaps the child will not immediately remember such complex words, but over time these terms will become clear to him. Ask your child what colors are in the picture, whether it is dark or light, name and show those colors that he does not yet know.
Important Rules
When we start teaching our little one how to draw, we sometimes have no idea how difficult it can be. It can be difficult for us to adapt to a beginning artist: you think that you will show how to handle an album, pencils, paints and a brush - and the process will go. In reality, everything is not so simple.
First of all, you must be patient. The baby will not start writing masterpieces right away. At first, these can be funny pictures-dazzles, in which the child studies the properties and capabilities of paints. Only much later will the child, imitating, begin to draw meaningful pictures.
If you are determined to introduce your child to the world of painting, then it would be a good idea to follow a few rules.
Whatever happens during your lessons, do not scold your child. In general, it is better not to start drawing in a bad mood, as this can discourage your child from wanting to create.
Try to finish the process of creating a masterpiece before the baby gets tired. Children cannot concentrate their attention on one thing for a long time. And forcing a child to do anything creative is completely pointless.
The paints should be good and fresh, and the brushes should be of high quality. After all, the quality of work depends on the quality of the source materials.
Be sure to take care of the convenience of your workplace. If you prefer to draw on the floor, then your baby will have complete freedom of action. Otherwise, it is better to purchase a small table with a chair or a high chair, on which it will be convenient for the baby to draw at a large table. The smallest artists can be held in your arms.
The lighting must be correct. If you draw during the day, open the curtains in your room. In the summer this is quite enough. Winter lighting is very poor, so you can turn on electric lamps. If you purchased a table lamp, the light from it should fall from the left, and the bulbs should not be very bright or too dim. The ideal option is fluorescent lamps.
Follow all these simple rules - and drawing lessons will bring joy to both your child and you.
Methods of non-traditional drawing techniques
"Magic wand"
A pencil or pen is wrapped with foam rubber at the blunt end, which is tied with thread. It turns out to be a large brush without hairs. The stick is held perpendicular to the surface of the sheet, without tilting. The trail it leaves imitates animal fur, tree crowns, and snow. A stick with foam rubber is dipped in paint (the main thing is that there is not a lot of water), and the baby begins to cover the sheet with traces of it. Draw tree branches or a bush with a black felt-tip pen, and let the child paint the foliage. Draw the outline of a bunny or fox with a pencil, and let the baby “trample” it with his “magic tool.”
It is interesting to work with this technique with a stencil. Cut out an image in the middle of a thick sheet of cardboard. Attach the cardboard with the cut out stencil to the landscape sheet and invite the child to “trample” the part of the landscape sheet that is visible through the hole in the stencil. After the child has done this, let the work dry, then draw eyes, mouth, mustache, and stripes with a brush.
"Figurine"
An interesting way to draw with a pencil, felt-tip pen, or ballpoint pen using pre-made stencils. Stencils can be of two types - some are cut inside the sheet, others are made from the sheet and separated from it. It is easier for young children to trace the figures embossed inside the sheet. Many lines have such patterns. Having attached them to the album sheet, you ask the child to trace the shapes. Then you remove the stencil and, together with it, figure out how you can complete this or that shape. Having traced the patterns, children can paint over their images with felt-tip pens and paints, and hatch them with various lines: straight, wavy, zigzag, with loops, wavy with sharp peaks. Stencils can help you create your own drawings; they will complement what the child himself has created. You can start a game: the child circles various objects, and you guess what they are.
"Mirror Copy"
This method is based on the fact that a silhouette drawn with paints can be easily imprinted when a sheet of paper is placed on it. The sheet is folded in half, unfolded, and the surface is slightly moistened with water. On one half of the sheet, the silhouette of an object or part of a symmetrical image is drawn with paints, for example, half a Christmas tree, half a flower, half a house. The sheet is folded and pressed firmly with your hand. By expanding it, you will see a whole image or two objects (if you drew a whole object).
“Whose trace?”
Another way of drawing, or rather, printing, is based on the ability of many objects to leave colorful imprints on paper. You take a potato, cut it in half and cut out a square, a triangle, a diamond, a flower from one half. Moreover, one side of the print must be flat to be applied to the paper, and you will hold the other with your hand. Then the child dips such a signet in paint (preferably gouache) and applies it to the paper. With the help of these signets you can make beads, ornaments, patterns, and mosaics.
"Salty Drawings and Tooth Paint"
What if you paint with glue and sprinkle salt on top of these areas? Then you will get amazing snow pictures. They will look more impressive if they are done on blue, blue, pink colored paper. You can create winter landscapes in another way - by painting with toothpaste. Draw light outlines of trees, houses, and snowdrifts with a pencil. Slowly squeezing out the toothpaste, go over all the outlined contours. Such work must be dried and it is better not to put it in a folder along with other drawings.
"Egg Mosaic"
Once you have eggshells left on your kitchen counter, don't throw them away. Separate from the films, wash, dry and grind. Dilute the paint in several cups and put the crushed shells there. After 15 minutes, the shells are caught with a fork and laid out to dry. Now the material for the mosaic is ready. Mark the drawing with a pencil outline and, having previously smeared the surface with glue, cover it with a certain color of the shell.
"Like an artist to an artist"
The baby lies down on a large piece of paper and you trace it! Of course, it’s better that it fits in all (this can be achieved by gluing two or three sheets of whatman paper). Now let him try to decorate the silhouette: draw eyes, mouth, hair, jewelry, clothes.
"Rainy Fantasies"
During rain or snowfall, you can safely open the window and expose a sheet of paper for less than a minute, holding it horizontally. Raindrops or snow will remain on the sheet. Traces of bad weather need to be outlined and turned into fairy-tale creatures.

The development of the creative potential of an individual should be carried out from early childhood, when a child, under the guidance of adults, begins to master various types of activities, including artistic ones.
Great opportunities for the development of creativity lie in visual activities and, above all, drawing.
Drawing is an important means of aesthetic education: it allows children to express their ideas about the world around them, develops fantasy and imagination, and makes it possible to consolidate knowledge about color and shape. In the process of drawing, the child improves his powers of observation, aesthetic perception, aesthetic emotions, artistic taste, creative abilities, and the ability to independently create something beautiful using accessible means. Drawing classes develop the ability to see beauty in the surrounding life, in works of art. Own artistic activity helps children gradually approach an understanding of works of painting, graphics, sculpture, and decorative and applied art.
The image in the drawings is created using a variety of materials. Artists use various materials in their work: various chalks, paints, charcoal, sanguine, pastels and much more. And in children's creativity it is also necessary to include different paints (gouache, watercolor, ink, crayons), to teach children to use these visual materials in relation to their means of expression.
Experience shows that drawing with unusual materials and original techniques allows children to feel unforgettable positive emotions. Emotions, as we know, are both a process and a result of practical activity, primarily artistic creativity. By emotions one can judge what pleases, interests, depresses, worries the child at the moment, what characterizes his essence, character, and individuality.
Preschoolers, by nature, are able to sympathize with a literary hero, to play out various emotional states in a complex role-playing game, but to understand what beauty is and learn to express oneself in visual activity is a gift that one can only dream of, but it can also be taught.
We adults need to develop a sense of beauty in a child. It depends on us how rich or poor his spiritual life will be. It should be remembered: if the perception of beauty is not supported by the child’s participation in the creation of beauty, then, as they say, “infantile enthusiasm” is formed in the child.
To instill a love of fine art and arouse interest in drawing starting from early preschool age, it is necessary to use non-traditional methods of depiction. Such unconventional drawing gives children a lot of positive emotions, reveals the possibility of using objects well known to them as artistic materials, and surprises them with their unpredictability.
Unusual methods of drawing captivate children so much that, figuratively speaking, a real flame of creativity flares up in the group, which ends with an exhibition of children's drawings.
What non-traditional painting methods can you use at home? Blotography, salt painting, finger painting. Soap bubbles, splashing, etc. Aren't you interested in knowing what happens if you draw with a rag or crumpled paper?
You can draw however you want and with anything! Lying on the floor, under the table, on the table. On a leaf of a tree, on a newspaper. The variety of materials poses new challenges and forces us to always come up with something new. And from the scribbles and scribbles, a recognizable object eventually emerges - the Self. The uncomplicated joy of satisfaction from the fact that “I did it - it’s all mine!” "
Having learned to express his feelings on paper, the child begins to better understand the feelings of others, learns to overcome shyness, fear of drawing, of the fact that nothing will work out. He is confident that it will work out, and it will turn out beautifully.
Mastering various materials, ways of working with them, and understanding their expressiveness allows children to use them more effectively when reflecting their impressions of the life around them in drawings.
The variety of visual materials makes visual activity more attractive and interesting, and as children master different materials, they develop their own style of depiction.
One of children's favorite ways to draw unconventionally is painting with salt. It not only has interesting decorative capabilities, but is also very easy to use.
Children love to draw and... with soap bubbles. You can draw using the blowing method.
But you can draw with a toothbrush, cotton wool, your finger, your palm, a tampon, crumpled paper, a tube driving paint (a drop) across a sheet of paper, print with different objects, create compositions with a candle, lipstick, feet...
Dare, fantasize! And joy will come to you - the joy of creativity, surprise and unity with your children.
Drawing art has a variety of techniques and they should be used when working with children. The use of various materials enriches children with knowledge of how to work with them, their visual capabilities, will make children's drawings more interesting, and will increase the aesthetic side of the drawing.
Why and why do our children draw? Yes, because visual activity is perhaps the most interesting activity for preschoolers. It allows the child to reflect his impressions of the world around him in visual images and to express his attitude towards them. At the same time, visual activity is of invaluable importance for the comprehensive aesthetic, moral, labor and mental development of children.
But when teaching a child to draw, you should not overdo it. You should not constantly force your child to draw. It is necessary to create in him a positive motivation for drawing, a desire to be a creator.
Summarizing my experience of working with children in this direction, I can confidently say that the most interesting forms of visual activity for children are non-traditional drawing techniques. Such non-standard approaches to organizing visual activities surprise and delight children, thereby arousing the desire to engage in such an interesting activity.
Dear parents! I suggest you get acquainted with unusual drawing techniques. Your child will have a lot of fun and expand his capabilities if you offer him new, unusual materials and techniques for visual creativity.
Fun splashes
Try it yourself first, and then show your child what to do. Load up a full brush of paint, hold it over the paper, and hit the brush with your other hand. This way you can get an interesting background for your future drawing. Or you can even put templates - figures cut out of cardboard - onto the paper before spraying. For example, silhouettes of stars, crescents, flowers, leaves, animals. The resulting “white spots” can be left blank or painted.
Leaf prints
On a walk, collect leaves of a wide variety of shapes with your child. At home, dilute the paints in paper cups so that they are thick enough. Cover the surface of the sheet with paint and press the painted side against the paper. Place another sheet of paper on top and smooth it out with your hand or a rolling pin. Peel off the top paper and see what happens. You may have to practice a little first, and then the child will be able to create a whole composition from leaf prints.
Fingerprints
Very interesting effects are obtained if you create an image using your own fingerprints or palm prints. Of course, you need to take paint that is easy to wash off, such as gouache. With watercolor, the patterns from the prints will not be so contrasting and expressive. You can start with simple images - a flower, a bunch of grapes. And the necessary details can then be completed with a pencil.
Scribble
Together with your child, take turns drawing straight and curved lines intersecting each other on a piece of paper. Then you can paint over the areas limited by these lines with pencils or felt-tip pens of different colors, fill them with strokes, specks, and cells.
Potato stamps
Cut a raw potato in half and cut out a simple relief at the cut site - a flower, a heart, a fish, a star. Saturate a stamp pad with paint and show your child how to make imprints. If you don’t have a special pad, you can take a piece of sponge or apply paint directly to the cut surface. If you prepare several different stamps, your child will be able to use them to even create story pictures or make beautiful wrapping paper for a gift. This activity is a good excuse to introduce your child to various geometric shapes: circle, square, etc.
Sponge painting
You will need several sponges - a separate one for each color. Try it yourself first: dip a sponge into the paint, squeeze lightly to remove excess. Now you can work on the sheet with light touches. Master a new technique yourself - teach it to your child.
"Twins"
You, of course, did this yourself more than once as a child. All you have to do is show your baby how it’s done. We fold a sheet of paper in half, draw on one side of the sheet with paints or simply apply spots, blots, then cover the drawing with the other half of the sheet, lightly draw on top with our hand. You can use several colors, you can add a little glitter. We reveal what happened: a butterfly, a strange flower. A great activity for developing imagination.
Painting reliefs
Take a sheet of paper, put a coin under it, and paint over it with a soft pencil or wax crayon. The relief appears on the paper. You can find any other hard surface with an interesting texture: leaves with thick veins, tree bark, a cross-stitched tablecloth, a metal badge. - just look around. This will not only keep your child engaged, but will also help develop his fine manual skills.
The use of unconventional methods can instill in children a desire to draw, making the child's activities interesting and educational.
Don’t expect masterpieces from your child: the goal of any visual activity is to have fun. Do not get carried away with criticism, even fair ones, otherwise you risk turning your child away from this activity. But try not to praise, otherwise he will stop taking praise seriously.
