How I spent my summer: an essay in pictures. How to spend your summer holidays profitably? Children's drawings on the theme of summer holidays

Summer means flowers, butterflies, bright blue skies and green grass. This is exactly the picture we will draw today. From this drawing you can make a postcard.

Necessary materials:

  • A sheet of white paper;
  • Colored pencils in yellow, orange, red, pink, dark green, light green and blue. The pink color can be replaced with purple, then you get a real rainbow;
  • Thin black marker;
  • A simple pencil (preferably soft 3B);
  • Eraser.

First, use a simple pencil to mark where the flowers will be located. The lines should be very light, barely noticeable. The shape of the flower fits into an oval. Place the ovals at the bottom of the sheet, at different angles to the edges of the paper and to each other.


In the upper part, make room for the butterfly; use light lines to determine its size and direction of flight.


If you connect the corners of the wings of any butterfly with lines, you get a trapezoid. Therefore, you need to start drawing a butterfly with this figure. Having outlined its contours, divide the trapezoid with a line approximately in the middle. From the corners to the center of the trapezoid, round off the shape of the wings. Label the body and head.


Now draw the flowers. In the middle of each planned oval you need to make smaller ovals.



From these small ovals, draw diverging lines separating the petals.


Round the petals without disturbing the intended shape of the flower.


Use light lines to mark the location of several leaves. They should be located in different directions. First, draw the middle line of the sheet, then two lines from the tip with a corner. Draw the leaves, rounding the lines.


Carefully trace the resulting outlines of flowers, leaves and butterflies with a marker. Try to keep the lines smooth.



Take a blue pencil. Using transparent lines, sketch out the horizon line approximately in the middle of the sheet, as well as the lines of the hills below. Use light strokes to tint the sky. Start tinting from the upper corners of the sheet towards the horizon line, gradually loosening the pressure.


From the horizon line it is also very easy, using loose strokes with a gradual weakening of pressure, indicate the distance with the hills.


Use a yellow pencil to color the butterfly's wings. This should be done in small strokes with even pressure. Do not press the pencil too hard, it is better to cross-hatch in one place several times until you achieve the desired tone.


Paint the body of the butterfly orange, and use a marker to draw small details: spots and black corners on the wings, eyes and antennae.


Now it's time to do the flowers. Use a yellow pencil to shade out the centers.


Then start tinting the petals. To make the tinting look neat, outline and color each petal separately. The strokes should be small and the pressure on the pencil should be even.


Our drawing shows a red, orange and pink flower. But you can come up with another combination.


Color the leaves this way: one half of the leaf is dark green, and the other half is light green.


Finish the drawing by working out the details with a marker. In the middle of the flowers, apply several dots, draw veins on the leaves.

This summer has been truly strange. I practically haven't left the house, I've been I didn’t see my friends and almost never during the whole summer picked up the guitar. I was busy with other things. It truly captured all my attention, I plunged headlong into my new hobby! I stopped sleeping at night because night is that short period of time when you are truly free and belong only to yourself. Night is a time of magic. And I really did make magic all summer. I drew pictures with a pencil!

When I started drawing, a boundless world of flights of fancy opened up in front of me. A world in which I was both God and king. In which I decided who would bloom and who would wither. Who to rule and who to be subject to? This is my world, which I myself invented and transferred to paper every night. This is a world in which there are no standards, laws of physics, criminal code or morality. This is the world which I want to see or the world in which I'm afraid to live. These are people who were once dear to me, but also those whom I hated all my life. Drawings are not just art. Drawings are a whole life. And a pencil is a magical tool that transfers all my dreams and fantasies to paper. Giving them life and the right to exist, when some other thoughts disappear forever from my memory - what I draw remains with me forever.
I've been drawing all summer. I discovered this new world and after that my old life seemed boring and meaningless to me. Call me a fanatic? Psycho? So be it. Everyone has his own path. It may be more pleasant for you to live in cages and hear every day through the box that you are free. But it’s more pleasant for me to be a “psycho” who creates his own world, writes his own history. Who decides what will happen tomorrow. And unlike you, I am able to fix my world. After all, all I need for this is an eraser. And you have destroyed your world so much that nothing and no one can save it. And when you meet someone who does not live by the imposed rules, you simply cannot forgive him for it. You can't understand why he's not like everyone else? Why doesn't he walk in the same herd with you? And you start to get angry because you yourself are not capable of it. And I am capable. Because I am an artist. And my world has no boundaries. And your world consists only of them.
All summer I did nothing but draw pictures with a pencil. This is exactly how I spent the summer. And do you know what I'll tell you? It was the best summer of my life. Even though I ended up in a mental hospital this summer.

Creative works carried out jointly by children and parents were presented at an exhibition of drawings, which was organized by teachers.

On June 3, our kindergarten celebrated the holiday “Children’s Day.” In the morning, children drew drawings with crayons on the asphalt on the theme “Let it always be.
