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.
("finger painting", fingerography, "fingers - palette")
You can come up with a rule: each finger has a certain color, it is especially good to draw when there is no brush at hand. For this, gouache paints are convenient, which are poured into flat plates, lids from gouache jars.
1. Having dipped the PILLOWS of the fingers in paints, you can draw: "New Year's Confetti", "Scattered Beads", "Lights on the Christmas Tree", "Cheerful Peas", "Traces", "Patterns on Dresses", "Fluffy Snow", "Sunny Bunnies", "Dandelions", "Villow Fluffed", "Sweet Berries", "Clusters of Rowan", "Flowers for Mom", "Smoky Whistler".
2. If you dip the SIDE SIDE OF THE FINGER into the paint and attach it to the paper, then you get “Traces” of larger animals, "Summer and autumn leaves", "Vegetable salad", "Holiday leaves".
If, therefore, DRAW LINES OF DIFFERENT LENGTHS, again picking up paint, then you can draw more complex objects: trees, birds, animals, landscape pictures and even decorative patterns, combining with drawing with a fingertip.
3. Clench your hand into a fist and put it on the paint (diluted in an old plate), move it from side to side so that the paint is well smeared on your hand, then LIFT AND APPLY TO PAPER - large prints remain "flower buds", "baby animals", "birds", and etc.
4. If you attach the side of the fist to a sheet of paper, and then make prints, then "caterpillars", "dragons", "monster body", fabulous trees and more.
ADVIСE: Before you start, make a few prints of different parts of the hand on a separate sheet to see what shapes you can get. Change hands so that the fingerprints and the fist curve in different directions.
Monotype
You will need gouache or watercolor, white or black paper, photographic paper (clarified), cellophane, glass, plastic film.
Types of work:
1. A sheet of paper is folded in half. SPOTS (warm or cold) are applied to one of the halves; the second half is pressed against the first, carefully smoothed into different
sides and unfolds. Guess what happened? Mirroring (butterfly, flowers, animal faces, etc.). IT IS POSSIBLE TO GIVE A READY FORM OF A BUTTERFLY and also fill one side with spots (there was an enchanted white butterfly - invite the children to disenchant - color it in the monotype method);
2. A SHEET OF PAPER CAN BE FOLDED NOT ONLY VERTICALLY, BUT ALSO HORIZONTALLY - symmetrical images or twins are obtained (twin brothers, "two chickens", "merry bear cubs", "city on the river" - draw a city on paper folded horizontally, opened it - the city was reflected on the river), "masks" for the New Year and other folk holidays.
3. Moisten a paper napkin with diluted paint and press various shapes of objects - workpieces against it. Then, print them on a blank sheet of paper or on a smooth surface.
4. On glass, mirror, plastic board, paper, plastic film, stains or gouache drawing are applied, a sheet of paper is superimposed on top and printed. Start with a small piece of paper, then - the size of a landscape sheet, etc. Topics are very varied: "Life in the North", "Aquarium", "Vase with fruits and vegetables", "Forest".
diatypy
A cardboard folder is needed, a LAYER OF PAINT (gouache) is applied to ITS SMOOTH SURFACE with a rag swab. Then a white sheet of paper is superimposed on top, drawn on it with a pointed stick or pencil (but do not put pressure on the paper with your hands!). It turns out an impression - a mirror repetition of the pattern.
Children love landscape pictures "Night in the Forest", "Night City", "Fireworks" and others. It all depends on the color of the chosen gouache, i.e. the color palette is already thought out.
Packing
You need to make tampons from gauze or a piece of foam rubber.
1. A clean stamp pad or just a square piece of flat foam rubber can serve as a palette. This exciting activity for children gives the skills to gently and lightly touch the paper with a swab with paint of any color to draw something fluffy, light, airy, transparent, warm, hot, cold (clouds, sun, sunbeams, dandelions - portraits of the sun, snowdrifts, waves on the sea, etc.)
2. If you take large swabs, you can draw a lot of curious fluffy chickens, ducklings, funny bunnies, snowmen, bright fireflies (finishing the necessary small details).
3. At an older age, you can combine this technique with the technique " STENCIL". First, a stencil is cut out, then, pressing it with your fingers to a sheet of paper, circle around the contour with frequent light touches of the swab. Carefully lift the stencil - what a clear and distinct mark remained on the paper! You can repeat it again with a different color and in a different place as many times as you like!
Stamps, print
They allow you to repeatedly depict the same object, composing different compositions from its prints, decorating them with invitation cards, postcards, napkins, "shawls"(Pavlovo - Posad), "flowers on the lawn", "autumn beds", landscape pictures, etc.
It is easy to make stamps and seals from vegetables (potatoes, carrots), an eraser, draw a conceived pattern on a cut or end and cut off everything unnecessary. On the other side of the vegetable or eraser, make an incision and insert a match without sulfur - you get a comfortable handle for the finished signet.
Now you need to press it against the paint pad, and
then - to a sheet of paper, you should get an even and clear print. You can make any composition, both decorative and plot.
Older children make more complex compositions, adding the necessary details to the prints and expanding the objects for the prints: the soles of children's boots with a corrugated pattern (you can depict a huge sunflower, a giant tree, etc.). large prints are especially good for decorating a hall, summer playgrounds.
Signets can be replaced with DRY LEAVES from different trees and shrubs (leaves for herbarium). Prepare gouache, brushes or a piece of foam rubber, a sheet of paper. Come up with what we want to draw (summer, winter, autumn or spring), i.e. choose color. Turn the dry sheet with the left (convex) side up, paint over well, then carefully turn the painted side onto paper, mindful of the composition, and lightly press with your finger, remove - we get an impression, an imprint that looks like a silhouette of a tree or shrub (if it is not a large sheet of rounded forms). Draw the trunk a little, and the branches are the printed veins of the leaf.
Using this technique, you can teach children to navigate on a sheet of paper, think over two or three planned compositions, laying out dry leaves on a sheet of paper, and then painting over and printing them.
Drawing on raw (wet) paper
A sheet of paper is wetted with clean water (a swab, foam rubber or a wide brush), and then apply an image with a brush or fingers.
On wet paper, you can paint with watercolors, starting from the younger age group. Tell the children about the artist - animal painter E.I. CHARUSHIN, who used such a means of expression, depicting fluffy little animals, chicks, funny and curious, like little children. Consider the books he wrote and illustrated.
And there is a lot for such technology: "Magic Living Clouds", which turn from lines and spots into various animals, “We lived - there were fish in the aquarium”, “Hares and rabbits”, “A little good friend (puppy, kitten, chicken, etc.)”.
To keep the paper from drying out longer, it is placed on a damp cloth. Sometimes the images come out as if they were in a fog, washed out by the rain. If you need to draw details, you must wait until the drawing dries or pick up very thick paint on the brush.
Sometimes a DIFFERENT WAY OF BLURING THE IMAGE is used. Take a bowl of water, lines are applied to a sheet of paper, for example, the contours of autumn trees, in the upper part - a blue line (sky). Then put this sheet face down on the surface of the water, wait a bit and lift it up sharply. Water spreads over the paper, blurring the paint, the color falls on the color, resulting in a bright and unusual picture. When it dries, you can additionally finish the necessary details, for example, branches, trunk, i.e. any necessary details. You can also emphasize the outline with a thin brush with black paint.
Another option - STRETCHING THE PAINT - you can tell the children when they are just starting to draw their picture, landscape or plot and you need to fill the entire sheet, the entire space. Or when a child knows that he will have a two-dimensional composition and the sky will occupy a certain place. To do this, the desired color of paint is taken and a line is drawn in the upper part of the sheet, then it is stretched and washed horizontally with water.
Drawing on crumpled (pre-crumpled) paper
This technique is interesting in that in places where the paper is folded (where its structure is broken), the paint, when painted over, becomes more intense, dark - this is called "mosaic effect".
You can draw on crumpled paper at any age, because. it's very simple. And older children themselves carefully crumple a sheet of paper, straighten it and draw on it. Then you can insert children's drawings into a frame and arrange an exhibition.
Drawing with two colors at the same time
This technique is characterized by various joyful themes: spring willow, like a sparrow, looking out of a bud.
Two paints are taken on the brush at the same time, gray (gouache) on the entire pile, and white on the tip. When paint is applied to a sheet of paper, the effect is "bulk" Images. Flowers are also unusually beautiful and bright, especially fabulous ones, miracle trees or unusual Ural-Siberian painting, when two paints are taken on a flat brush, and the brush, as it were, dances in the fingers of the master, leaving berries, flowers and leaves on a tree, birch bark, metal.
Drawing "fluffies"
To do this, the contour of the wet drawing is smeared with a dry, hard brush and flowers, flowering spring trees, elements of the Ural-Siberian painting, chicks, dandelions, and so on are obtained.
The same expressive images can be obtained with a dry hard brush (bristle), if it is held vertically in relation to the sheet and applied with jerky strokes on dry paper to a sketch made with a simple pencil, or immediately depict animals, their fluffy hair, flowering lilac bushes, apple or cherry trees and more.
Children are especially good at drawing portraits of their favorite toys, for which they first draw a contour, and then apply sharp strokes, going to the contour of the image. The more often the strokes, the better the texture (fluffiness) is transmitted.
After such classes, you can arrange an exhibition of portraits of your favorite toys or fairy-tale images. Or maybe arrange a personal exhibition of a young artist - an animal painter.
bitmap
The drawing is applied with the tip of a brush, fingers of different sizes and paints of different colors. It turns out a mosaic pattern or again “fluffy”.
stroke drawing
To quickly depict animals, birds, come up with and embody unusual fairy-tale paintings, you can visit an amazing country "GRAPH". It is not on the geographical map, but it is everywhere where inquisitive children live.
To do this, you just need to pick up a magic wand, which can be any pencil, felt-tip pen, wax or simple crayon, sanguine, pastel, artistic pencil - sauce.
Touch a piece of paper and the doors of this country will open "GRAPH". Here everyone loves to draw, draw, write. This country has its own language: a stroke, a line, spots, a contour, a silhouette, a decorative line, a decorative spot, a geometric pattern.
The basic laws of beauty are the laws of composition, which include rhythm, balance, symmetry, contrast, novelty, plot and compositional center.
Hatch- this is a line, a line that can be short and long, sloping and even, slightly noticeable and bright, wavy and moving in a circle, intersecting and overlapping one another.
With the help of a stroke, you can tell about the nature of the object, about the properties of the material, convey its softness, airiness, tenderness, but also heaviness, gloom, sharpness, sharpness, aggressiveness and reveal the image of the hero, his attitude to the environment.
A series of exercises "PICTURE »:
stroke, slightly touching the paper;
gradually increasing pressure;
short and long stroke;
changing pauses - gaps between strokes;
a gradually shortening stroke and changing pauses - gaps;
stroke - zigzag with gradual lengthening and shortening;
changing slope of the stroke;
slope to one side
wavy stroke - zigzag;
stroke in several rows;
a stroke moving in a circle;
stroke coming from the center of the circle.
The teacher must depict all these exercises himself, show the children what can be done thanks to the stroke. Classes in graphics are simple, they are easier than painting and sculpture. Simply put, drawing - graphics are very interesting, it develops spatial imagination, extraordinary thinking, which teaches you to think, fantasize, make independent decisions, educates the child to look for more difficult topics : “I” (to myself), “Rain”, “Trees”, “Forest”.
If you draw with a soft pencil (sauce) - you can rub it with your finger (shade), which will give softness to the image.
Aquatype
Necessary: plexiglass (glass with smooth rounded corners), sheet of paper, soap, watercolor, ink, brushes.
Paints are applied to the glass (watercolors with soap or ink), a sheet of paper is applied to the dried surface and pressed tightly. You can move the sheet a little on the glass - the print will be more interesting.
In these prints we look for images, landscape images and finish drawing with pencils, crayons, felt-tip pens.
Cliche
Large print; on a wooden block or cardboard cylinder, a pattern of thick paper or rope is glued on one side, on the cylinder over the entire surface. Paint is rolled and stamped - flowers, leaves, rugs, napkins, wallpaper for doll rooms, fabric for plane dolls, gift wrapping paper, etc.
The bar or cylinder has handles to make it convenient to hold, stamp or make a poster (cylinder).
Aqua ink
Necessary: paper, gouache, ink, water is poured into a large flat vessel (basin).
Dilute gouache and draw an image. When the gouache dries, cover the entire sheet with one ink (black). After the ink dries, lower the drawing into a basin (bath) with water, i.e. "manifest". In water, gouache is washed off, and ink - only partially. The paper should be thick, the image is large, the effect of a photograph is obtained.
Children are invited to be photographers. In the previous design lessons - to make a paper "camera", walking on the site, you can take a picture of what you like, and then "show" in the laboratory using the "aqua ink" technique.
Another option for working on a bold layer: a greasy layer is preliminarily applied to a sheet of paper - with a candle (can be applied with the palm of your hand), soap (tampon), etc. And paints are already applied on top.
The drawing is obtained "fluffy", as if bristling (hairy).
Mimicry in drawings
In psycho-gymnastics classes, you can train the ability to recognize an emotional state by MIMIC - expressive movement of facial muscles, by PANTOMIMICS - expressive movement of the whole body, by VOCAL MIMIC - expressive properties of speech.
Let's reveal facial expressions in the drawings. You can train the ability to recognize an emotional state along a line with the help of CUT TEMPLATES - a kind of PICTOGRAMS. This is a set of cards on which various emotions are depicted using simple signs, 5 pictograms:
First, the children consider, name the mood, then the cards are cut along the line dividing the upper and lower parts of the face. They mix and find again on assignment, or those that they liked. You can finish drawing the body, show facial expressions on yourself in front of a mirror, etc. The process of drawing itself can influence children, they become calmer and more accessible.
Music
After listening to a melody, a piece of music, the children must raise one card (pictogram). At first silently, and then as if they describe the feelings caused by contrasting pieces of music, correlating them with mood maps. You can use polar definitions: cheerful - sad; cheerful - tired; sick - healthy; bold - cowardly, etc. Then offer to draw the image seen in the cards, heard in the music.
Children often collect joyful and cheerful faces, less - sad or with other moods.
These games exercise the ability to interact. Usually, children draw the missing details on the card without prompting: eyes, hair, ears, sometimes a headdress, bows, glasses, or make a background. Such tasks help in the future to draw a portrait of a friend, mother or yourself.
Pantomime in drawings
Children are especially fond of classes during which various poses are depicted on paper with the HELP OF CONDITIONAL FIGURES. The kids call them "skeletons" and better - "little men".
Having received a card with the image of a figurine in one or another pose, the children complete it - they memorize which pose corresponds to which emotional state. Children quickly begin to draw the poses of people and quite expressively, already without relying on conditional figures.
New, resulting yokes with patterns, conditional figures and blots, the children then use in their free and thematic drawings.
Games - "invisible"
You need paper and simple (graphite) pencils.
Older children are invited to close their eyes and, to the music (waltz), draw involuntary lines on a piece of paper with a pencil (squiggles, scribbles - that's what children call them), to the rhythm of a piece of music (1 min.). Open your eyes, look at the lines and find a hidden image among them (birds, humans, trees, vehicles). With colored pencils or felt-tip pens, highlight them, circle them so that it becomes clear - it’s understandable, adding a little bit of elements for the image seen.
The nature of the music can be very different. At first, you can give calm music, and then faster, more cheerful, and in accordance with this, the rhythm of the applied pencil lines will be different, therefore, the images will be seen differently.
The fantasy of children will tell you, their imagination is very bright. At the first such games, the help of a teacher is needed, because. children are sometimes lost, they do not always see the hidden invisible ones.
Drawing with a candle or wax crayons
This way of drawing also surprises children, makes them happy, teaches them to concentrate, to be precise and accurate in drawing. This method has long been used by folk craftsmen when painting Easter eggs.
The bottom line is that the paint rolls off the surface on which the wax crayon or candle is held. A flute thread or a large tampon with paint is taken and guided along the sheet - a picture appears on a colored background: “Frosted tree”, “Forest at night”, “Patterns of Santa Claus on window glass”, “Fur coat for the Snow Maiden”, “Snowflakes”, “Lace napkins, collars, panels”, “Northern Queen”. Another variant: draw doodles with a candle or simply randomly arrange the lines, and then draw an image of an animal, a bird with a conceived color; first, the contour, and then paint over it all - it turns out “fluffiness” (do not paint over the wax), or the shell of a turtle, or the stripes of a tiger, the cells of a giraffe.
Very fun zoo! Fast, easy and fun!
Drawing on fabric
The fabric is glued to the frame (preferably silk, plain).
The drawing is applied with ink, watercolor, felt-tip pens, pens, a sharpened stick, a student's pen, a bird's feather, etc. Then the drawing is ironed with a student's iron.
This is a very elegant, subtle, painstaking technique that requires perseverance, patience, and accuracy from children. Such works for a gift card, as a souvenir (print on the wall).
Plasticine drawing
Grate a thick sheet of paper with the color of plasticine, which was conceived as a background (thickness 1 mm). Then with a swab on top, putting pieces of plasticine, creating a convex image "bas-relief"
You can offer scratching, removing plasticine (as in the scratching technique). Frame it, and get a print for decorating a classroom, as a gift. Such interesting prints - panels are made collectively.
In all the proposed options for conducting classes in non-traditional drawing techniques, the help of an adult (teacher) is required.
Working with carbon paper
Carbon paper is superimposed on top of a white sheet of paper; the drawing is applied over the copy with a finger, fingernail, stick. Then the carbon paper is removed and remains - a graphic drawing.
Copy paper to offer children - color.
Grattage
The scratching technique, it was used in Russia and was called "painting on a wax pad".
Cover thick paper with wax, paraffin or a candle (rub the sheet with wax strokes tightly to each other). With a wide brush or sponge, apply a layer of mascara several times. For the density of painting, you can prepare the following mixture: add a little shampoo (or soap) to gouache or mascara and mix everything thoroughly in a socket.
When it dries, the drawing is applied by scratching with a knitting needle, a sharp stick and the appearance of white. It turns out very similar to the engraving!
The white color of the paper can be painted over with colored spots or filled with one color, depending on what you are planning to depict, then after scratching, the drawing becomes colored, the children call such paper "magical" because it is not known what color can show through the black wax layer. They are surprised, delighted and very interested in working. As a result, very expressive fabulous images: "Magic Flower", "Fire Bird", "Cheerful Khokhloma", "Underwater Kingdom", "Unknown Space", "New Year's Eve", "Evening City", "In Berendey's Underwater Kingdom", "Palace for the Snow Maiden", " Costume for Santa Claus”, “Night moths”, “Wonder tree”, “Night landscapes”, “Visiting the gnomes”.
linotype
"Colored threads". You need a thread (or several threads) 25-30 cm long, paint it in different colors, lay it out as you like on one side of a sheet of paper folded in half. Bring the ends of the thread (threads) out. Fold the halves of the sheet, press with your left hand on top, smooth. Then, without removing the left palm from the sheet, with the right hand carefully pull out one thread after another or only one. Expand the sheet ... and there is a magic drawing: "birds - swans", "huge flowers", "Vologda lace", "frosty patterns"(if the threads are dyed white and laid out on a colored background).
And there is no end to the fantasy, the play of the imagination. And again a beautiful exhibition! You can only draw a little bit, where it is necessary.
Application from dry leaves: butterfly, mushroom, duckling, tree, flowers - the simplest images. Or, by attaching a dry leaf from a tree to paper, circle the outline with paint, remove it, and paint over the white spot as you want - it seems.
Blotography
Games with blots help develop the eye, coordination of movements, fantasy and imagination. These games usually help relieve tension in emotionally disinhibited children.
1. Put a large and bright blot (ink, watercolor paint) so that the drop - blot is "live" if you shake a piece of paper, it starts to move, and if you blow on it (preferably from a straw or a tube of juice), then it will run up, leaving a trail behind it. Blow again, turning the sheet in the direction where some image is already visible. You can still drop a blot of a different color and blow again - let these colors meet, cross each other, merge and get a new color. Look at what they look like, if you need to slightly paint on semantic elements.
2. You can get a fantastic image without blowing out air, but by shaking the paper, and droplets - blots run across the sheet. And if you first apply wax lines on a sheet of paper with a candle, and then drop paint or ink, then the blot quickly “runs” over the paper, leaving many interesting traces.
3. Take a large long sheet of paper (the reverse side of wallpaper or pasted old drawings), lay it on the floor or path. Children take a candle (pieces) and draw squiggles, chaotic lines, then they take ink (black, red) or color and spray it over the entire surface of the paper track (under the guidance of the teacher), and then, lying on the floor facing each other along the track, begin blow on blots. This is a fun game, improvisation - blots run, roll, collide, run away, find each other. When they played, painted with air, get up, relax and see what happened? - lace path, fairy-tale picture, individual images (devil, hare ears, birds, fish, trees, bushes, etc.). If you want, you can finish it or leave it in this form and decorate the wall in the corridor, passage, in the dressing room, hall.
4. Among the auxiliary teaching aids, the most effective and organizing is MUSIC. Blotography can be combined with music. Give the children small pieces of paper, sprinkle drops of paint or ink. Taking a piece of paper in their hands, the children move to the music and the rhythm of their body is transmitted to the “live” droplet, which also draws while dancing. See what happened and, if necessary, finish drawing. The nature of the music may be different.
Spray
Or paint splatter. This technique is simple and familiar to many. Its essence is spraying drops with a toothbrush or brush for cleaning clothes, stacks (a wooden or plastic stick in the form of a scalpel, knife). Paint is collected on the brush, the brush is in the left hand, and the stack is drawn over the surface of the brush with quick movements towards you. Splashes will fly onto the paper, if a stencil is located on it, then they will not splash - forming white silhouettes.
Over time, the drops will be smaller, they will lie down more evenly and where they need to be. It is convenient to work with such a technique in the summer on the veranda or in a group in the evening with a small subgroup of children or individually. The theme for this technique can be surprises, gift congratulations (invitation cards, postcards, posters, announcements): “Napkins for Mom”, “Snowfall”, “Golden Autumn Swirled”, “Spring Pictures”.
The show is not a dogma, but an impetus to the search!
In this case, VARIATIVE display is one of the most important stimuli for the accumulation of experience in fine arts by schoolchildren. These are advice, help, conversations, praise, teaching and play, story and show. Creatively using the proposed recommendations, you can arouse in children a steady interest in drawing, help them master fine art skills.
Non-traditional drawing techniques, and there are still a lot of them, will help children feel free, give them the opportunity to be surprised and enjoy the world, get acquainted with the technique of many artists and try to create beauty themselves.
Exercise number 1 "Magic spots"
The child is invited to fold the landscape sheet in half and draw watercolor or gouache spots on one half. Then fold the sheet along the fold line and iron it with your hand so that the spots are printed on the other half of the sheet. The child is invited to consider the resulting symmetrical spots and think about what they look like. Next, you can take a brush, pencil or felt-tip pen and draw a blot to get a subject drawing: an animal, a person, a plot scene, etc.
Exercise number 2 "Magic line"
The child is invited to draw a "handwriting" on a piece of paper with his eyes closed, look at it carefully and think about what it resembles. Then draw the image.
Exercise number 3 "Three colors."
Invite the child to take three paints, in his opinion, suitable for each other, and fill the entire sheet with them. What does the drawing look like? If this is difficult for the child to do, let him finish the drawing a little if necessary. Now offer to come up with as many names for the picture as possible.
Exercise number 4 "Draw it"
2-3 pieces of colored paper are pasted on the card. The outline and color of the pasted drawings are very different.
Task for children: carefully consider the proposed card, you can turn it in different ways. And then finish the application, so that something recognizable is obtained: the figure of a man, an object, an animal.
Game - relay race number 5 "Transformation".
Each of the participants in the game adds one element to a given object (for example, a mug) so that this object turns into another (for example, a yacht, etc.).
Examples of transferring properties from one item to another:
Fish - machine
Cup and saucer - ship
Saucers - parachutes
Iron - locomotive, etc.
Exercise number 6 "Composing an image from geometric shapes"
From the same sets of geometric shapes, it is proposed to compose the figure of an animal or a fairy-tale hero. It is possible to make geometric figures from a square of colored paper (100x100 mm). It is cut as follows:
Exercise number 7 "Landscape"
Students are given cards with a two-color background on which they are invited to draw a landscape. Elements of the picture must be matched to a given background.
The motif of a fictional landscape can be simple - just two or three trees, a river, a path. But the general mood of the landscape should be interesting, perhaps it will be a landscape with a small storyline.
Game number 8 "Color stories"
The game proceeds as follows: children are shown a colored strip, point to the uppermost square and ask: “What does he look like? What happens in this color? Based on the child's answer, the adult comes up with the first sentence, and the rest is composed by the children based on the associations of each next colored square with the realities of the world around them.
One eight-color strip allows you to invent many stories. The strip can be transformed into a flower-seven-color, and in the future, for writing, it is possible to use sets of scattered colored squares, the choice of a certain number of which can be done at random.
Exercise number 9 "What do the spots look like?"
The child is invited to draw colored spots on one sheet of paper with gouache or watercolor. Then print these spots on another sheet. The resulting identical spots need to be completed in order to get different images of objects, plants, animals, etc.
Exercise number 10 “Drawing a plot drawing according to
given fragment"
The child is offered a sheet of paper with a piece of cloth glued to it. The pattern of the fabric will tell you the motive of the future drawing. It can be a landscape, portrait, still life, everyday scene. After completing your drawing, you should try to include a piece of fabric in it.
Exercise number 11 "Whose thing?"
Students are given a card with a drawing of one detail: a shoe, a key, a broom and other attributes of fairy-tale characters. The student needs to recognize the hero and draw Cinderella, Pinocchio or Baba Yaga, respectively.
Exercise number 12 "Housing for a fairy-tale hero"
The sheet depicts a fairy-tale hero. Task: draw a house for this hero. When making a drawing, you need to imagine where this fairy tale hero lived, imagine what his habitat looks like.
Exercise number 13 "Funny little men"
Merry little men are invited to depict from different numbers or from one. Numbers can be drawn in different directions and in mirror image. You can draw a family of ones, etc.
Exercise number 14 "Non-existent animal"
The exercise is based on the method of agglutination. The child is invited to draw a non-existent animal by combining parts of known animals and come up with a name for it.
Exercise number 15 "Creating images from prints"
Using various stamp materials - nails, caps, corks, etc. It is proposed to draw animals and men.
Students' interest in this exercise may be caused by an unconventional selection of a stamp. His role can be played by fingers.
Exercise number 16 "Music"
Children are invited to listen to a fragment of a piece of music, for example, pieces of the play "Song of the Lark" or any other from "The Seasons" by P.I. Tchaikovsky. After listening to music, the child is given four colors: red, green, blue and yellow. He must depict the music he heard with the help of these colors and title his drawing. At the end of the work, we hold a competition of received drawings and names for them.
Game number 17 "Drawing a still life from imagination"
Children must draw a still life on a given topic. Usually artists draw objects from nature, but now the child needs to create his own image in his imagination, and then transfer it to paper. Interesting, varied solutions to such a task can be obtained in the technique of soilography. The theme is given to all children the same.
Original themes for still life:
"Butterfly on a Blossoming Flower"
"Apple on a porcelain dish"
"Autumn Leaves on Cold Ground"
You can come up with your own themes. At the end, it is necessary to hold a competition of artworks and choose the winner. You can simply arrange an exhibition of children's work.
Exercise number 18 "Search for emotionally adequate images"
An emotional situation (an object, a creature, experiences) is given and it is proposed to depict it in the form of a schematic drawing (or to describe in words the essence of the proposed images). For example, in response to the facilitator’s question “how can you portray a rejoicing person?”, The guys can depict or write out the following options: a person flies, sparkles, dances, the sun shines in the human body, etc. When summing up, both the total number of proposed answers and originality are taken into account; collective discussion and creativity is possible.
Exercise number 19 "Shifters"
The exercise reinforces the correct, adequate ideas about the world around, which are affirmed in the mind of the child, being passed through the prism of imagination.
The children are invited to come up with a city where the opposite exists, let them imagine unprecedented fruits on the trees (socks, mittens, etc.), the colors in which objects are painted. To activate the figurative imagination, you can read B. Zakhoder's poem "Magpie":
Soared forty high.
And now the magpie is chattering, That sugar is terribly salty, That a falcon cannot cope with a crow, That crayfish grow on oak, That fish walk in a fur coat, That apples are blue, That night comes from dawn, That the sea is dry and dry, That the lion is weaker than a fly, Cows fly better than anyone, Owls sing better than anyone, That the ice is hot-hot, That it's cold in the stove And that no bird In truthfulness can compare with it! Forty chirps, chirps - No one wants to listen to her: After all, there is no use in what a magpie talks!
Exercise number 20 "That's what a hyena"
The exercise develops a recreative imagination based on S. Cherny's poem "The Hyena". This poem is very picturesque and "visible", so children can easily recreate in their imagination the image of a hyena and depict it.
The hyena is so ugly
Her muzzle is cheeky
Wool on the scruff of the neck,
Back - knot,
On the sides (for what it is not clear)
rust spots,
Belly dirty and bald
It smells of kerosene and a rat...
Poking into the grate - the tail at the foot,
Eyes like Baba Yaga.
And I feel sorry for her...
Isn't she embarrassed?
Even a moth, even a jackdaw
Cute and lovable.
The bride of Uncle Volodin explained to me,
Aunt Aglaya:
"Why is she evil?
Because ugly"
Lessons of non-traditional drawing techniques: crumpled paper, polyethylene.
Drawing in non-traditional ways is a simple and fun drawing technique. This is a great opportunity to teach your child to use well-known objects as art materials.
Ease of execution, allow little hands to fantasize freely, instilling confidence in the child in their abilities.
Drawing technique with crumpled paper and a plastic bag in kindergarten, school: master class
Drawing techniqueplastic bag
1 option
- Dilute the paint in a small saucer
- A piece of polyethylene is well crushed
- Dip in paint
- Making an imprint on a sheet
- Next, paint the necessary details with a brush.
Option 2
We create an unusual, spectacular background using plastic wrap and watercolors:
- Very boldly paint over a sheet of paper with watercolor. If you mix different colors of the same tone, you get a more structured background.
- We put polyethylene in the paint diluted with water, make folds with our hands
Compressing the film - We leave the film on the sheet for 10 minutes. Do not immediately remove it - the watercolor will spread and the effect will be lost
- You can use this method not only for the background. Look original: exotic flower greens, crystals, veins on plant leaves

As in any creative work, there are no established requirements and restrictions in this method.
Next, we will consider the main step-by-step steps. Over time, understanding of the essence of the method will come, then rebuild it in any direction.
For example, the diverse thickness of the paper material allows you to make sharp or smooth, thin or thick strokes. In your work, you can use watercolor, gouache, ink, acrylic. And someone may want to prepare a natural dye from the squeezed juice of fruits and berries. After all, the quality of the paint has a strong influence on the finished drawing.

Master class on drawing "Watercolor craquelure"
Unconventional watercolor techniques on crumpled paper
The drawing master class is intended for classes with children in art studios and in fine art classes. In this technique, both junior schoolchildren and young artists of the middle classes, teachers and parents can try their hand.
Purpose: performance of a competitive work in fine arts on the theme "Mirror of Nature", which later will become a wonderful decoration of the interior of the room
Target: Create an extraordinary watercolor painting on crumpled paper
Tasks:
introduce children to non-traditional drawing techniques
improve your watercolor skills
develop creative abilities;
Hello!
In this master class I want to tell you about a simple, but, in my opinion, fascinating watercolor painting technique.
The technique of watercolor on crumpled paper can be interesting and feasible not only for adults, but also for children. You can work in this technique both from nature and from memory. Images of trees, leaves, vegetables, flowers look advantageous.
For work we need:
A3 paper (for the first time you can take A4). I advise you to try on paper of different textures. To get started, you can take a regular landscape sheet
Watercolor;
Palette;
Squirrel or kolinsky paints (set);
A jar of water.
For my work, I chose the image of a lotus.
The snow-white, pink or blue lotus is the sacred regal flower of the East. The lotus symbolizes purity, and powerful creative energy. The lotus is the emblem of perfection because its leaves, flowers and fruits form a circle. Lotus petals, reminiscent of the sun's rays, personify the divine source of life, and the seed box in the culture of Ancient Egypt, India, China and Japan is considered a symbol of fertility, birth and rebirth.
Progress
1. With a simple pencil on smooth dry paper, you need to sketch the selected object. We must try to work with thin lines - cobwebs, and if there is such a need to use an eraser - do it carefully, without spoiling the texture of the paper.
2. The sheet with the finished pencil sketch must be crumpled, crumpled with the image inside, so as not to damage the surface of the drawing and not to stain it.
3. Gently spread the crumpled sheet of paper on the table with your hands.
4. Start painting with light tones, gradually moving towards darker and more saturated ones. It is better to work on slightly dampened paper, so the colors will smoothly merge with each other according to your idea. It is necessary to wet the fragment of the picture that is to be done next.
5. If necessary, you can return to the elements of the picture already made in color to enhance chiaroscuro and add various shades. My lotus has shades of cold colors, but gently yellow reflections must appear on the petals. It comes from rays of sunlight.
6. To create a bright saturated pattern, it is necessary to highlight the center of the composition with the help of contrasting colors. To draw lotus leaves, you can use all shades of green and some cold notes.
7. Alternately paint over the lotus leaves. You can use 2 techniques: drawing on pre-wetted paper, and part of the drawing on dry paper. On the lotus leaves, I decided to make dew drops. To do this, you must leave these places unpainted.
8. While working, do not forget about chiaroscuro. Therefore, from the shadow side of the future dew drops, we draw falling shadows.
9. During the work in color, the paint flows interestingly into the created “cracks”, creating a beautiful craquelure.
10 . Now with the help of cold colors we draw the water surface.
11. It's time to make water droplets in color. To do this, from the shadow side, using a gently emerald color, draw a shadow on the drop itself. Attention! The contours of the drop are left unpainted.
12. From the illuminated side, we show reflections of purple and golden color. Glare is left untouched.
Drops at work look voluminous. After drying, some elements can be finished "dry".
13.Now the drawing must be dried and ironed on the reverse side with an iron.
The work is ready. Many cracks allegedly formed on the surface, the picture is similar to the paintings of artists of the last century.
Since the creation of one work will take a little over an hour, everyone can try it. As part of the lesson, you can do a two-hour lesson.
Thank you for your attention! All new creative victories!
Today we have prepared for you an unusual master class in drawing. Everyone is accustomed to using, as a rule, only new materials for creativity. Our children are even more conservative in this, a painted or crumpled sheet, in their opinion, is considered unsuitable and is put aside.
And let's try to break both our own and children's stereotypes and try draw on crumpled paper. But where can I get it, suitable for drawing and at the same time beautifully rumpled? Now we are going to do this with you. It is better if an adult does this work for a small child himself, older children, starting from the age of 5, can cope with such work, but it is better to do it under the supervision of parents so that there is an opportunity to help and control the process.
We prepare materials: album sheet, water, brush, paints and napkins.
Let's prepare our sheet. Wet a napkin and wipe the album sheet with it. Without waiting for the water to dry, we begin to gradually crumple and crumple the sheet. We try to do this carefully so as not to tear the paper.
We straighten the sheet and while it is still damp, its surface has become uneven and perhaps even rough, and while it is still damp, we begin to draw whatever we want. Works made on such a sheet of paper look completely different than on a smooth background. Using shading with water, you can achieve very unusual effects.
You can create a backdrop for future artwork at the same time as you are aging the paper. To do this, wet the sheet with a napkin or brush, apply a few color spots and crumple the paper until it has time to dry.
An unusual relief with color transitions is ready to become the basis of the future drawing.
