Maslenitsa is a bright holiday of seeing off winter. It originated in pagan times. Orthodoxy, having slightly changed the time of the event and timed the food feast to coincide with the beginning of Great Lent, included Maslenitsa in the list of obligatory celebrations. If you decide to depict the festivities on canvas, then first think over the plot. Do not forget about the characters that personify Maslenitsa.
Scarecrow. The main attribute that has remained unchanged since the pagan times of the celebration of Maslenitsa is a straw effigy. In the drawings, it is often depicted as a woman in Russian folk attire with a round face. Even more often you can see a burning scarecrow and round dances around it. In order for you to get a drawing of a stuffed Maslenitsa, like a professional artist, do everything in stages:- Draw a pole with a cross for arms and an oval head.
- Draw the outer contours of the clothes and headdress (shawl).
- Draw the clothes in detail, highlight the patches, holes.
- Draw the straw showing through the clothes. Draw the scarecrow's face roughly, or don't draw it at all.
- If you want to draw a burning scarecrow, then remember that the flame in the fire is always darker on one side. Draw large flames first. Then add minor, small flames that give the fire volume. At the very end, sketch out the firewood, outlining the texture and size of the wooden logs.
- If you draw pancakes as circles, you may get the impression that you put them straight in front of you. For a plausible look, it is better to depict them as slightly flattened ovals.
- To draw a stack of pancakes, make a markup - draw a rectangle (future stack). Draw the top pancake - an oval shape with jagged edges.
- Outline the outlines of pancakes in a rectangle. They should not lie on a ruler and have perfect edges, some edges of pancakes may hang down or be torn off.
- Finishing drawing the stack of pancakes, apply light shadows to the surface and edges of the pancakes.
Another idea for the image of Maslenitsa could be a crowd of merry mummers, carrying plates with pancakes and poles with ribbons and the sun in their hands. The main thing is that for the image of Shrovetide, you need to use bright colors that promise the joy of the onset of spring and warmth.
Often, on the eve of the holiday, children are asked to bring drawings to school or kindergarten - Shrovetide, spring, fire, holiday. And if you visit a folk festival with your baby, he himself will be eager to transfer his impressions to paper. But how to draw Maslenitsa? How to portray not just a holiday, not just a fire or pancakes - namely, a cheerful holiday of meeting spring? We will try to help you.
Step-by-step drawing of Maslenitsa: draw with children
Start by thinking with your child about what will be shown in your drawing. Choose the plot of the future picture and try to list and present all the elements that you have to portray. There shouldn't be too many of them, and they shouldn't be complicated, unless you're a professional artist, of course.
Most likely, you will decide to draw a scarecrow of Maslenitsa and a stack of pancakes on a plate - after all, these are the main symbols of the first spring holiday. But do not forget that the scarecrow must burn. This means that you will also have to depict a fire. Fire can be drawn around the scarecrow, but you can also just next to it. And one more obligatory element of your drawing is the sun. After all, both pancakes and the Maslenitsa holiday itself have been dedicated since ancient times to the arrival of spring, which means to the warm and bright sun that drives away the annoying winter with its cold and snowstorms.
Now you need to mark with a thin pencil on a sheet of paper where the drawing elements will be placed. The younger your child is, the more he has a tendency to fill the entire sheet with the first element of the drawing, so if he starts drawing a scarecrow, there may simply not be enough free space for pancakes and the sun. Therefore, the composition of the picture and the dimensions of all elements must be designated in advance. After that, start drawing.
