The fox cubs have been drawing enthusiastically all day today. Tell me, have you ever heard of drawings on crumpled paper? It turns out that it is very simple and incredibly interesting! And all you need for this is paints and thin paper... Read more in our master class.
Usually we draw with paints on a smooth, even sheet of drawing paper. This is ideal. But the fact that it should be smooth, even, that's for sure. But no! On crumpled paper, you can draw the same. Moreover, an unusual effect is obtained. There is an imitation of cracks. As if the picture was drawn several centuries ago and the paint on it is cracked. Working in this technique with my pupils is what we call “old paintings”. How does it work? This will be discussed in this master class.
To draw on crumpled paper you will need:
Thin sheet (such as xerox paper)
- watercolor paints
- soft brush (number to your taste, which one you prefer to draw)
- a jar of water, graphite pencil (simple)
- eraser
How to draw crumpled paper
For work, we need thin paper, because. we will need to crush it. And this is difficult to do with a dense Whatman sheet. When crushed, whatman paper can crack and tear. And we don't need it. Xerox paper is ideal for this job. And the writing pad is too thin. But, as an option, you can conduct an experiment with a child: try to work in this technique on different types of paper (writing, xerox, drawing paper, watercolor, cardboard). And make a conclusion which paper is best suited for this technique. Thus, the child will also get acquainted with various types of paper.
On a sheet of paper with a simple pencil, we draw a drawing. The drawing should consist of large details. Small in this technique will be very difficult to perform in color.
We crumple the sheet. We crumple, not fold. But be careful not to break it.
We smooth the sheet on the table with our palms.
Let's start painting with paints. Watercolor is suitable, because it requires a lot of water, unlike, for example, gouache. A lot of water is required for this work.
Gradually, detail by detail, we paint the picture. On the brush you need to take a lot of water and a lot of paint. Their excess will drain into the folds. And after drying, the folds will become brighter compared to other places. This is how cracks are created. We painted this work all over with paints, i.e. left no white space. There is another option.
The initial stages: pencil drawing, crumpling are performed in the same way. But in color we draw a little differently. We take a lot of paint on the brush, and less water. When painting on the brush, do not press hard, paint superficially. Thus, white unpainted areas will remain.
You can choose any subjects for such drawings.
After the works have dried, it is desirable to frame them. To do this, we cut strips of thick paper 2-3 cm wide. And paste them along the edge of the work.
We suggest you try it with a butterfly. Enjoy your joint creativity with children!
The method of drawing with crumpled paper is considered quite new and modern. With its help, absolutely any child will be able to feel like a real artist, because this technique allows you to improve the quality of all work performed, and therefore raise self-esteem.

What is it, the advantages of the method
It is believed that drawing with crumpled paper is a new, modern method, but in part it is not. This technique already existed several centuries ago, but was later forgotten, perhaps to be reborn again in the 21st century. This technique is used not only by small children, but also by experienced artists who draw in retro style.
The method has many advantages:
- a paper ball necessary for work can be made even by a pupil of the younger group. But children are so fond of doing everything on their own, they enjoy the process of crumpling paper;
- the child can independently prepare colored water for drawing. The older pupils of the preschool educational institution are fully coping with this task, the kids need the help of a teacher;
- prints are blurry, sometimes even unexpected, which contributes to the development of fantasy and imagination;
- the ability to make smooth transitions from one color to another to get a more interesting picture.
Pieces of crumpled paper
Note! Thanks to drawing with crumpled paper, the drawing becomes unusual, texture appears in it. This type of drawing helps children to better remember and distinguish colors, create their own original images.
Why draw with crumpled paper
Children love this method very much, because it does not require any clear boundaries, lines, and you can draw as you like, and what you like. After getting acquainted with this type of drawing in the kindergarten, children continue to use it at home with pleasure.
This technique perfectly helps children develop their creative abilities, it opens up scope for imagination, pushes them to new experiments. All kids love to try something new, to check how it will be if “do it this way”, and “if it’s different”. Their whole life consists of experiments, and this is one of them.
Pictures made in this technique can become a real masterpiece and decorate the interior of any children's room. After all, in the beginning, no one knows what exactly will happen.
What tools and materials will be required for work
To draw with crumpled paper you will need:
- sketchbook;
- gouache or watercolor (the latter is preferable because it dissolves better in water and creates softer color transitions);
- small vessels for drawing. They need as many colors as you plan to use. Suitable and disposable tableware, and even toy sets;
- soft paper or napkins.
Important! Do not use newspaper for drawing, as printing ink can leave unwanted marks on the drawing when wet.
Since the set of tools needed to complete the process is quite small, not only kindergarteners, but also primary school students, as well as all those who want to use something new and unusual in their creative process can use the technique.

Crumpled paper drawing: master class
- Prepare disposable tableware. It is best if the number of plates is equal to the number of colors that you plan to use when creating a picture. A small amount of warm water is collected in these plates and a little selected paint is added. With this ratio, the tones are gentle, airy. If you need to add contrast or brightness, you can use more paint or less water.
- Prepare medium-sized pieces of paper that will become your "brush". Roll or crumple the paper to the desired size (it is best to fit the paper in the palm of your hand, otherwise there is a risk that it may be accidentally dropped). The number of "brushes" - lumps of paper should also be equal to the number of colors that you use when writing a picture.
- Dip the lumps in water and wait a couple of seconds until they are saturated with color, and then apply to paper in any way (spotting, wide strokes).
- It is highly not recommended to use newsprint (even glossy) to create a picture, it can break into small pieces, stick to the canvas and leave dirty print marks.
- Try to give your paper balls a different shape, squeeze them differently each time so that the drawing has an unusual and varied structure.
- Prepare all the necessary tools in advance, the paint tends to dry quickly

Video: Drawing with crumpled paper
Among the various drawing techniques, one stands out, rather unusual - drawing with crumpled paper. This technique attracts attention with its simplicity and uniqueness. And it is also accessible to small children, although it deserves special attention and experienced artists.
Benefits of drawing with paper
This way of drawing is very simple, because the smallest child can crumple the paper into a ball. In addition, kids really like this activity, so why not turn it into a useful game.
Any paints are suitable for this type of creativity, but gouache or watercolor is better, of course. They must be diluted with water, which the kids will also do with pleasure.
The most important advantage of this method is that drawing with crumpled paper contributes to the development and manifestation of children's imagination. After all, each stroke-stroke of paper will be unusual, unlike the next one. And in each of them the child will see completely different things.
Technique
In order to create a small masterpiece, you do not need a lot of material and effort. The simplest and most accessible materials are enough to get started.
Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare a sheet of paper where a drawing will be created, paints and containers in which they can be diluted with water. It is also worth preparing several napkins, from which it is necessary to create arbitrary lumps. If the drawing is combined, that is, combine the usual drawing technique and drawing with crumpled paper, you should prepare a brush.
After all the preparations, it is worth considering the details of the future drawing and trying to reproduce them. The most important thing in this kind of creativity is fantasy. It depends on her how the final result of the work will look like.
It is necessary to try to ensure that the wads of paper are of different sizes and degrees of compression. Then the imprints that will remain will turn into a wide variety of shapes. It is safe to say that this is the easiest technique. Drawing with crumpled paper will turn an ordinary thing into an exciting activity.
How to create a painting?
To start creating, you need to prepare paints. To do this, they are bred in specially prepared containers with a small amount of water. It is worth remembering that the more water, the lighter the tone of the selected color, and vice versa.
The second step is the preparation of "lumps" of paper. It is advisable to make them in advance from a paper napkin or other. It is not advisable to take newspaper sheets - prints of black printing ink may remain on the drawing.
When everything is ready, you can safely start drawing with crumpled paper. A master class for a child can be shown by an adult so that the principle of creating a drawing becomes clear. But since this is one of the simple and affordable types of creativity, learning is fun and exciting.
Undoubtedly, in order to get a full-fledged drawing, it is necessary to draw some lines or backgrounds with a brush - be it the sky, grass, or animal body parts.
Crumpled paper makes excellent clouds, the sun, the torso of various animals. The list is endless, the main thing is fantasy, yours and your child's.
