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 paint on stone
And on a piece of birch bark.
He will paint the air with a salute,
Taking a pitchfork, he writes on the water,

An artist, therefore an artist,
Which can draw everywhere.
Who is stopping the artist?
He deprives 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 your child can comfortably not only sit, but also stand and sometimes 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 impression
stencil printing
candle and watercolor
spray
poking
IN senior preschool age children can master even more difficult methods and techniques:
blotography ordinary
toothpick drawing
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 pre-made stamp (this could be the bottom of a plastic bottle, a lid, a cut from a potato, an apple, etc., covered with paint), prints are made on paper, creating a design that can later be supplemented.



"Leaf Seal"- 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, trying not to move it out of 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 on 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 the 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!

Understanding the world around them, children try to express their impressions about it through cognitive and creative activities: playing, drawing, telling stories. Drawing provides enormous opportunities here. To give children the opportunity to express themselves in a variety of ways, you can practice drawing with your child both in traditional techniques and in the most unusual ones. The more interesting the conditions in which the child’s visual activity takes place, the more rapidly his creative abilities will develop. Let's see what children's drawing techniques can be used for the development of a child.

Traditional painting techniques

The foundation for the overall comprehensive development of a child is laid in early preschool age. Drawing is one of the most important means of child development, during which the child learns about the world and forms an aesthetic attitude towards it.

When drawing, a child develops a wide variety of abilities, namely:

  • the child learns to visually evaluate the shape of an object, navigate in space, distinguish and feel colors
  • trains eyes and hands
  • develops the hand.

“Did you know that drawing is one of the main ways for a child to develop his senses, fine motor skills, sense of shape and color? With the help of this simple and exciting activity, children convey their attitude to reality.”

The success of upbringing and learning depends on what forms and methods a teacher or parent uses in creative activities with a child.

Thus, the main technique for children of primary preschool age is to demonstrate how to use a pencil and paints. At the same age, passive drawing is effective: when an adult guides the baby’s hand. When the baby grows a little, visual arts are taught using the information-receptive method: children study the shape of an object, tracing it with their hand, feeling its outlines. Such exploration of the subject helps the child create a more complete understanding of the subject. The next stage is the choice of drawing technique.

Traditional children's drawing techniques:

  1. Drawing with a simple pencil.
  2. Drawing with colored pencils.
  3. Drawing with felt-tip pens.
  4. Painting with a brush - watercolor, gouache.
  5. Drawing with wax crayons.

When starting to choose a drawing technique for your baby, you need to pay attention to his age and interest. To be useful and educational, drawing must first of all be fun.

Drawing with paints and pencils

Children enjoy drawing, especially if they are good at it. Even drawing using traditional techniques such as painting with paints and pencils requires certain skills. If the skills are missing, then the drawing may not turn out the way the little artist intended, as a result of which the child may become upset and no longer want to draw. Younger preschoolers are not yet skilled enough in drawing.

Let's see how you can teach your child to draw with paints and pencils.

Learn to paint with paints

Today, a child’s first use of paints is finger painting. As soon as your baby has learned to hold a brush in his hand, invite him to paint with it. For the first lessons it is better to use: it does not need to be diluted with water and it leaves a bright trace. Show your child this painting technique as “dipping”: a brush with paint should be applied to the paper with all its bristles. This will create an imprint - a leaf, a light, a trace of an animal, a flower, etc. Children can use this simple technique when depicting natural phenomena that are familiar to them. It will be interesting to draw on dark-colored paper (for example, blue) with white gouache. This is how you can depict, say, snowfall. The next stage of painting with paints is the image of straight and wavy lines.

Typically, a child masters working with paints and brushes by the age of 3.5–4 years. From this age, the baby can be given paints at his disposal: let him paint what he wants. And parents just need to suggest topics for drawing and show the correct techniques.

Let's start drawing with a pencil

At first, it is better to give the baby not a pencil in his hand, but a felt-tip pen: they leave a bright mark even when the child’s hand presses lightly. When your hand gets stronger, put a pencil in his hand. Draw different shapes together by moving your child's hand. This way he will gradually understand how to move the pencil to get the desired drawing. Repeat the movements many times, strengthening them.

"Advice. Support your child’s interest in drawing by providing good conditions for creativity: quality supplies, a separate table and chair in a bright place, appropriate for the child’s height.”

Children's unconventional drawing techniques

Non-traditional techniques for children's drawing stimulate the development of imagination and creative thinking, the manifestation of initiative and independence in the child. In the process of such drawing, the preschooler will improve his powers of observation, form an individual perception of art and beauty, and try to create something beautiful. And unconventional drawing also brings children a lot of positive emotions.

Let's see what non-traditional drawing techniques you can practice with your child at home.

For children of primary preschool age:

  1. Finger drawing. The kid dips his fingers in gouache and paints on paper.
  2. Drawing with palms. The little one applies gouache all over his palm and makes prints on paper, which can later become funny pictures.

For children of middle preschool age:

  1. Foam imprint. The child dips a piece of foam rubber into the paint and makes an imprint on paper.
  2. Imprint with cork.
  3. Combined drawing with wax crayons and watercolor. The child draws an image with wax crayons on paper, and then paints over only a sheet of paper with watercolors, without affecting the drawing.
  4. Drawing with cotton swabs or drinking tubes. By dipping them in paint and applying them in different ways, you can create an interesting picture.

For older children:

  1. Painting with sand or salt.
  2. "Spray." By picking up paint on a brush and hitting it on the cardboard above the paper, the child will receive a whole fireworks of paint splashes that will fall on the paper.
  3. Drawing with crumpled paper. Pieces of crumpled paper are painted and pressed onto the paper where the painting is planned to appear.
  4. Klyasography. Through a cocktail tube, you can blow multi-colored blots. And you can put them with an ordinary plastic spoon. Using your imagination, blots can be turned into funny characters or landscape elements.
  5. Monotype. By covering thick paper or ceramic tiles with a thick layer of paint, and then applying a sheet of paper, we get a blurred print on the paper that can become the basis for a landscape.
  6. Engraving (grattage). After painting a sheet of paper with a thick layer of gouache, try scratching it out together with your child using toothpicks.

We use various materials

“Did you know that various non-traditional children's drawing techniques are becoming more and more popular every day? When drawing, kids act as they please.”

The beauty of non-traditional drawing techniques is that in the creative process a child can use a variety of materials and their combinations. That’s why these drawing methods are very interesting for both children and adults: there are no limits to imagination and self-expression.

What combinations of materials can be used when drawing to make the creative process enjoyable and the picture to turn out unusual and expressive?

  1. Imprints of natural materials. If you cover leaves, cones, flowers with different paints, and then apply them to paper, you will get a print. Having completed the missing details, the child will come out with an excellent one.
  2. Plasticine. You can not only sculpt figures from plasticine, but also draw on paper with it. This method is called plasticineography.
  3. Whatever is at hand. Using a wooden spool of thread, the thread itself, buttons of different sizes and shapes, a cardboard tube, a fresh orange peel, an ear of corn, a knitting needle and anything else you can find around the house and use for creativity, you can draw. Each item leaves its own unique imprint. With a little imagination, you can create unusual paintings using completely everyday objects. The coil will leave a mark that looks like a wheel or two tracks, a button - a circle with dots. You can cut unusual stamps from orange peel, for example, in the form of a spiral. And the function of a paint roller will be performed by a corn cob or a cardboard tube.

Drawing is an excellent leisure activity for a preschooler, a job that should not be forced. However, it is important to support the child and positively evaluate the results of his creativity. Expand your child's creativity. Traditional drawing will teach your child how to properly use a brush, paints, pencils and felt-tip pens, teach you to recognize and draw different shapes, and distinguish colors. And non-traditional drawing techniques will help him become more creative, emotionally stable, confident in his abilities, and proactive.

Hot enamel(from French email) - an enamel technique in which a pasty mass colored with metal oxides is applied to a specially treated surface and fired, resulting in the appearance of a glassy colored layer.

There are several types of enamels depending on the technique of its production:

  • Miniature on enamel, enamel- an artistic enameling technique that uses the technique of brush easel painting. The first registration of the image is carried out on a white enamel background of a copper base plate. After underpainting, the plate is dried, fired in a muffle furnace at 800 degrees and painted again. To obtain maximum color sophistication and detail of the design, the enamel artist repeats this process many times.
  • Painted (picturesque) enamel- on the front side, the outline of the image and its details are written using rich-colored enamel paint. Since the enamel is applied in fragments, firing is done 10-15 times, taking into account the different levels of melting temperature of the enamels used.
  • Cloisonne enamel- to make it, a thin metal plate is taken, on which the outline of the future image is cut through. Then thin metal strips are soldered along this contour, obtaining an image from cells of various shapes and sizes. Each cell is filled with enamel of a different color to the upper edge of the partitions and the enamel is fired.
  • Enamel on filigree (filigree)- a floral or geometric ornament made of intertwined metal wire is soldered onto a metal surface, which forms cells. Each cell is filled to the brim with enamel of a different color, which, after firing, settles and appears below the filigree ornament. As a result, filigree enamel is not polished.
  • Champlevé enamel- a plot or ornamental image is deeply cut out (taken out) on a metal plate. The resulting depressions are filled with transparent or opaque enamel and the enamel is fired. In the champlevé enamel technique, several techniques are known to achieve an artistic effect.
  • Engraving enamel is a type of champlevé enamel technique.
  • Guilloche enamel- a type of enamel engraving technique. Engraving is performed mechanically using a special machine. In the guilloche enamel technique, exclusively transparent enamels of the widest range of colors are used.
  • Casting enamel- the image is obtained by casting it together with a metal base plate. Then the recess on the plate is filled with enamel.
  • Relief enamel- a technique used for artistic enameling in high relief, when the enamel coating follows the shape of a metal relief image, acting as a glaze.

If your baby is often upset that he can’t draw, or the drawing doesn’t turn out the way he expected, encourage your baby not to draw according to a model, but to use alternative drawing techniques that will captivate him and become excellent motivators for creativity!

We offer you 20 options for non-traditional drawing techniques for a child that will reveal his individuality!

PASSEPARTOU

In this drawing technique for children, the child's careless "doodles" are inserted into a sheet with a cut-out shape of an animal, tree, flower, etc. You need to cut out a template, for example, in the shape of a daisy and place it on top of the baby’s daub. This way, an unremarkable drawing will become part of a special idea.

FROTTAGE

A sheet of paper should be placed on a flat relief object and its surface should be shaded with a colored pencil. You will get a beautiful print picture with the silhouette of the underlying object! Children who have tried to draw on a table from relief wood probably know that sometimes this technique is “connected” to the drawing completely by accident.

AIR COLORS

To prepare this paint, mix in a small bowl:

  • 250 g flour, half a teaspoon of soda, half a teaspoon of citric acid
  • a couple of drops of food coloring
  • 1 tbsp. l salt

Drawing technique:

  1. Pour a little water into the bowl with the above ingredients to make the paint the desired thickness.
  2. Apply paint to thick cardboard with a brush or cotton swabs.
  3. Place the drawing in the microwave for 20 - 30 seconds until the mixture dries. Drying time depends on how thick your paint is and what layer of paint you have applied to the drawing.

Make sure that the cardboard does not contain synthetic materials or films. Choose either the most common version, or take colored thick paper.

MARBLE PAPER

For this drawing technique you will need:

  • shaving foam
  • watercolor paints or food coloring
  • flatware
  • paper
  • scraper

Work plan:

  1. Apply a thick layer of shaving foam to any flat utensil.
  2. Make a saturated solution of each paint color using water - dilute the dyes to a liquid state.
  3. Take a pipette (or a simple brush) and drop a few drops of paint of different shades onto the foam layer.
  4. Use a brush to spread the paint over the surface, trying to do it so that you get beautiful lines and shapes. This stage can be considered the most creative and interesting!
  5. Place a clean sheet of paper on top of this patterned foam.
  6. Place the sheet on a flat surface and remove any foam from it with a piece of cardboard.
  7. Under the foam you can see unusual marble patterns that look like the Northern Lights! Now you need to put the picture in a dry place for 2 hours so that it dries.

SOAP PAINTING

Mix the paints with a few drops of regular liquid soap, then brush onto the paper. You will see small soap bubbles appearing from the paint, which create a beautiful texture to the design.

BLOCKGRAPHY

To perform this technique, you can use a straw to blow out the blot, or you can do without it. Ask your child to drop paint on a piece of paper, then tilt it in different directions, and then add something to the blot to get a beautiful drawing.

You can also make a blot, and then fold the sheet in half so that it is printed on the second half of it. Then let the child dream up what the blot looks like and ask them to draw the necessary elements.

DRAWING ON A WET SURFACE

Moisten the paper sheet with water and leave to dry for literally half a minute, and then start painting on it with watercolors. The paints will spread in different directions and you will get very original streaks with streaks.

BUNCH OF PENCILS

Carefully collect 5-6 colored pencils in a bundle, tie them with duct tape and let the baby draw.

CRAYONS AND STARCH

Make a starch solution and wet a clean sheet of paper with it. Give the little one some crayons and let him try to draw on such a slippery base. Use the primary colors of the crayons and they will give new shades on paper!

MULTI-COLORED GLUE

Prepare several empty containers and pour PVA glue into them, then drop a couple of drops of different colors of paint into each cup. Use this colored glue to draw whatever your heart desires! Drawings using the “drip technique” are especially beautiful.

DRAWING WITH SALT

Draw a sketch on paper with a simple pencil, go over the outline of the drawing with a wet brush, and then sprinkle liberally with salt. After 10 minutes, shake off the salt, finish the missing elements. With the help of salt, you can beautifully draw butterflies, birds, snow.

DRAWING WITH WAX

On a white sheet of paper, use a wax candle to draw the outlines of people, trees or flowers. As your child begins to color the drawing with watercolors, they will “create” beautiful white images. You can also cover the entire sheet with multi-colored paint, dry it, then rub it generously with wax.

Apply a thick layer of dark gouache on top of the wax and let dry. After this, you can “scratch” a bright design on a dark background with a thin needle or wooden stick.

FOAM OR SPONGE

By moistening a sponge or piece of foam rubber with gouache, the baby can draw the crown of trees, flowers, winter landscapes and much more.

DRAWING WITH COTTON SWIPS

Tie a bunch of cotton swabs with adhesive tape or an elastic band, invite the child to dip it in paint and draw clouds, trees, snowdrifts, snow. The missing details can be completed with a simple brush.

DRAWING WITH DOTS

First, the baby must draw the outline of the object, and then fill its entire background with multi-colored dots, using paint or a felt-tip pen. To make the drawing colorful, you need to alternate the colors of the dots.

SPLASH PAINTING

Take a dry toothbrush and brush it with gouache. Don't overdo it, there shouldn't be a lot of paint, but it should be thick. Place the sheet of paper on the table, lean over it, hold a brush with paint in one hand, and scrape the bristles in your direction with the other. The bristles should be turned down towards the design, otherwise you and your child risk splashing the whole house.

If you put several colors on a brush, you can create a fireworks display. Yellow and orange colors are suitable for autumn-themed drawings, and blue colors will help create a beautiful winter landscape.

PRINT DRAWING

Take an apple, cut it in half and create beautiful designs by dipping the halves in paint. For this unconventional drawing technique, you can use other interesting “stamps” that you can find at home!

DRAWING WITH BALLS

For this technique you will need: box lid, balls, paint, paper, brushes.

Place a sheet of paper on the bottom of a flat box (or any other type of paper) and generously spray it with watercolor paint. Then throw in a few glass marbles (or ball bearings) and shake the box a little so that they roll, thereby mixing the colored splashes on the sheet and creating a pattern.

DRAWING WITH FEET

This drawing technique for children is very relaxing and develops the child's imagination! Tape a piece of paper to the floor. Place a pencil between your baby's toes and ask him to draw something.

You can also paint with paints, soaking your toes in gouache and creating beautiful prints on paper.

Sections: Working with preschoolers

This is true!
Well, what is there to hide?
Children love, love to draw.
On paper, on asphalt, on the wall
And on the window on the tram!
E. Uspensky.

It is known that drawing is one of the most favorite children's activities.

Aristotle also noted: drawing classes contribute to the diverse development of a child.

The formation of a creative personality is one of the important tasks of pedagogical theory and practice at the present stage.

To develop children's creativity, certain knowledge, skills and abilities are needed, methods of activity that they themselves, without the help of adults, cannot master; we are talking about the targeted training of rich artistic experience. A teacher is an amazing creative person capable of raising a creatively developed child. And the love for art, which the teacher instills in his students in childhood, will be the leitmotif throughout life, enriching it with bright positive emotions. Education should begin as early as preschool. My work experience has convinced me that teaching children non-traditional image techniques has a positive impact on the development of children’s creativity.

The meaning and value of non-traditional images certainly has a positive impact on the treatment of emotional disorders. This kind of therapy helps children with retarded mental development. It is known that such children do not show interest in drawing, they have scattered attention, poor coordination, impulsive, careless execution of the image. They draw not always what they see and know, usually the image arises spontaneously, with elements of an emotional mood.

At the first stage of learning in the process of artistic creativity, children learn and are not afraid, and this is a very important factor. Such children need to be taught starting with the simplest subjects gradually as they gain skills and experience. Moving on to drawing more complex subjects. There is no need to insist on matching colors, which can confuse the child and possibly affect his desire to draw.

It is also necessary to form a coherent speech. To do this, we recommend using short nursery rhymes and songs in the lesson. Repeating songs or quatrains in chorus several times while developing memory, attention, and also activating vocabulary.

For example:

First fluffs, first snowflakes
They are spinning in the air.
And they quietly fall to the ground, lie down.

Christmas tree, Christmas tree
Green needle...etc.

Thanks to repeated repetition with a simple melody, children quickly remember and focus their attention on the object, gaining confidence, becoming more liberated in creativity. In addition, in the process of practical activity, unlimited opportunities are created for spontaneous verbal communication between the teacher and children.

We recommend performing finger exercises every time before a lesson or as a play on the theme of the lesson. At the end of the lesson, summing up all the child’s achievements should be welcomed, and not suppressed; questions of criticism will only interfere with the pedagogical process. Over time, when children learn non-traditional ways of producing graphic images, mixed image techniques and their variability can be taught. We offer several types of non-traditional artistic and graphic techniques for teaching children from 5 to 7 years of age with mental retardation. The order of arrangement is related to the sequence of training.

Non-traditional artistic and graphic techniques

Image acquisition methods

1. “Finger painting”(paint is applied with fingers or palm). In this case, the paint is poured into flat bowls, sockets, and water is placed. The rule is that each finger picks up one specific paint. Washed fingers are immediately dried with a napkin.

Picture 1

To paint with your palm, paint is poured into a saucer. Finger painting produces drawings in younger groups; in older groups it can be combined with other techniques.


Figure 2


Figure 3

2."Leaf Seal"- 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, trying not to move it out of 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 on with a brush. Produces magnificent landscapes


Figure 4

3. “Drawing using the poke method” -(with a cotton swab) for a poke, just take an object (a cotton swab), dip it in the paint and hit it on the sheet from top to bottom, leaving a clear imprint of a certain shape. The poke can be used both along the finished contour and inside it; the depicted object turns out to have an interesting heterogeneous texture.


Figure 5

“Poke (with a hard semi-dry brush)”- use a hard brush, dip it into the paint, and then hit the paper, holding it vertically. The rule is that the brush does not go into the water. The result is an imitation of the texture of a fluffy or prickly surface.


Figure 6

4. "Imprint with a cork" - Various stoppers and caps are used. The image is obtained by pressing the cork to a stamp pad with paint, applying an imprint to the paper. For a different color, both the bowl and the stopper change. For better expressiveness, you can use a lid on both sides. (The rule is to press confidently and rhythmically without moving from place).


Figure 7

5.“Imprint with potato signets” - Signets are prepared in advance from potatoes. The child presses the signet to a bowl of thick paint, wiping off the excess on the edge of the bowl (you can use a stamp pad with paint) and puts an imprint on the paper. To obtain a different color, change both the bowl and the signet to create greater expressiveness, use a brush to apply a different color of paint


Figure 8

6.“Crumpled paper imprint, foam rubber imprint and foam imprint”- the method of obtaining the image is the same as listed above. The rule is no water is used.


Figure 9

7. "Blotography"- drop a blot onto a sheet of paper, fold the paper in half and iron it with your hand so that the paint imprints. Determine what it looks like, fill in the missing details.


Figure 10

8. Option 2. Apply a blot by lifting and tilting a sheet of paper with flowing paint to create images. Then another sheet is placed on top and smoothed by hand for better imprinting. Determine what it looks like, fill in the missing details.


Figure 11

Option 3. (Paint blowing). Apply paint through a straw and blow the paint from the center in different directions, creating an image to complete the missing details.


Figure 12

Option 4.(Blotography with a thread) - 25-30 cm threads, folded in half, are dipped in different paints (gouache), placed on a sheet of paper, applied with another sheet and the thread is pulled out. The missing details are completed. (Threads can be used of different thicknesses and textures.) Complete the missing details.


Figure 13

9. "Stencil printing"- with a foam rubber swab using a stamp pad with paint, apply an imprint on the paper using a stencil. To change the color, use another swab and stencil. The missing parts are completed with a brush, and can be combined with finger painting.

10. "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.


Figure 15

Option 2 Using a sponge, thick paper is moistened with water. Then the drawing is applied with watercolor crayons butt or flat. As the paper dries, it becomes wet.

Option 2. (Blurred drawing) the drawing is applied to the paper with thick paint, after drying the sheet is lowered for a second or two into a tray of water. The picture turns out blurry (in the fog, on a rainy day.)

11. "Spray"- (drawing with a toothbrush). Put some paint on a toothbrush (mascara or diluted gouache with PVA) and use a stick to spray the paint onto the drawing. The rule is to move the wand towards you, pointing the brush at the paper. Tip: it is advisable to wear an apron and cover the table with paper (newspaper or oilcloth). You can also use a toothbrush to draw waves, fringe, thick grass, etc. using the entire bristles.

12. "Monotopy"- (print) - a sheet of paper is folded in half, then unfolded, paint (gouache) is applied to one half of the sheet - a landscape is created. After which the sheet is folded again and printed, it looks like a mirror image. After receiving the print, revive the original drawing with paints again so that it has clearer contours than its reflection on the water surface of the reservoir. The reflection on the water does not need to be tinted again; it remains slightly blurred.

Option 2. “Subject monotopy” - Using the same technique you can depict trees, flowers, butterflies, and dragonflies. When it dries, you can cut out a butterfly or other image from a sheet folded in half.


Figure 18

Option 3. The paint is applied to a piece of cellophane, paper or a piece of glass and applied to the paper, onto which the image is applied and pressed. Depending on the size of the spot and the direction of rubbing, different images are obtained.

13. "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.

14. "Tearing Paper"– small pieces or long strips come off the paper. Then he draws with glue what he wants to depict. Pieces of paper are placed on glue. The result is a voluminous fluffy or fleecy pattern.

15. "Emerging Drawing"- (wax crayons + watercolor). The planned plot is completed with wax pencils (crayons), then watercolor paints are applied on top using a brush. The watercolor rolls off the image, the drawing appears to appear.

The rule is that there must be pressure on the wax pencil so that the mark from it is clear and bright. Paint quickly with watercolors, trying not to paint over one place many times.

16. "Familiar Shape"- (“new image”) – a selected item is outlined with a pencil (scissors, glasses, fork, stapler, spoon, etc.). Then they turn it into something else by painting it with any suitable materials. you can update any objects, as well as hands and feet.)

Option 2.(animated objects). Various things from any subject group are depicted: vegetables, fruits, clothing, household items, dishes, plants, etc. Which suddenly “came to life.” At the same time, preserve the shape of the objects being drawn, give them a human appearance by drawing eyes, mouth, nose, legs, arms, various details of clothing, bows, ties, hats, etc.

17. "Templateography"– this technique involves outlining pre-prepared templates - geometric shapes - in order to compose and depict a separate object or plot picture. To draw an object, you need to imagine what geometric shapes it consists of.

The rule is to start creating an object with the largest form and only then move on to the details. The template must be applied to the sheet with one hand, trying not to move it, and trace it around it with the other pencil.

Tip: complete the finished composition in color using colored pencils (if the finishing touches are done with wax pencils, you can paint it with watercolors or gouache).

18. "Scratch" (engraving)– rub a sheet of paper with a candle (preferably cardboard or thick paper). Then the entire sheet is painted over with ink and liquid soap - a background is created in a certain color. After drying, scratch the design with a glass or a stick.

Option 2. Multi-colored strokes (or a background of 2-3 colors) are drawn on thick paper. Then the drawing is rubbed with a candle and painted over with ink. The design is scratched with a glass or a sharp stick. In this case, the drawing turns out to be colored.


Figure 24

19. "Photocopy"- the drawing is placed using a water-repellent material - a candle or a dry piece of soap; invisible contours will not be painted when watercolor paint is applied over them, but will appear, as happens when developing photographic film


Figure 25

20."Plasticineography"- the plasticine needs to be heated (can be in a container with hot water). Cardboard is used, and plasticine is fixed to the surface with a pre-drawn background and outline using the technique of pressing and flattening.


Figure 26

21. “Stained glass” (adhesive pictures)– using PVA glue (from a bottle with a dosed spout), the outline of the future drawing is applied to a sheet of paper (you can first make an outline with a simple pencil), time is given for the adhesive base of the drawing – a stained glass window – to dry, then the space between the contours is painted with bright colors. Adhesive borders prevent the paint from spreading and mixing. The rule is that the adhesive contour must dry out. Use one color in several areas in different places, and only then change the color.

Option 2. The stained glass outline can be replaced with oil or wax crayons, which will prevent the paint from spreading and mixing.
