How teach a child to draw.

Educator: T. M. Pugachevskaya

MBDOU No. 139 kindergarten "Antoshka" Bryansk.

Your child I’m already familiar with pencils, paints, felt-tip pens, I already see and understand how to leave marks on paper, lines, scribbles. What's next? How to achieve child consciously depicted familiar objects, even the simplest and most elementary phenomena?

How teach a child to draw

SO, LET'S BEGIN

IMPORTANT- teach the child to see and understand that in nature there is very little white color, practically none. Therefore, from the first lessons I teach the children how to apply a background, or give them already tinted paper. Well, it doesn’t happen that a chicken walks in white snow! Can a fish swim in a milky white river? Therefore, we draw grass, sea, sky. yeah whatever. I show the children how a brush “walks” across the paper (from one edge to the other, runs back, makes a smooth long path, and runs back again - something like this is what I say. Show everyone, take your hand baby together with your brush and paint)

Be sure to play with everything (“pour jam into a jar” - cut out a sheet in the shape of a jar, decorate a rug for the dog, pussy, etc. Then, when the work is dry, be sure to show this rug to the pussy, let her sit on it, if there is no toy cat, dogs, then stick a paper figure onto the finished background

Try a variety of game techniques, here's a HOMEMADE EXERCISE:

Together with look for it as a child who hid or what was hidden (to do this, first draw on a sheet of paper with a candle a simple image of any object, phenomenon or animal - the sun, a cloud and rain, a butterfly, fish, etc. and paint over the sheet of paper with watercolors). - display

You need to start with one color.

To make your work beautiful, bright, and neat, it is better to use not just albums for drawing, and watercolor paper. It is dense and the paint adheres to it perfectly due to the rough surface.

Child and drawing.

All children love paint. Sometimes they start doing this before they speak. And it is very important to support baby at the very beginning of his creative path and pronounce the first formula education: "YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING!"

Many parents mistakenly believe that child really starting paint only from the moment when he can convey in the drawing the characteristic features of the object - draw similar. In fact, this happens much earlier - during the Karakul period. Karakulnoye drawing has three phases:

1. Chaotic scribbles (random, unorganized)

Period from 1 year to 1.5 years.

2. Stages of circular scribbles. Graphic movements have a repetitive nature.

3. Stage of developed scribbles. The period is about 2 years. Child begins to react to the edge of the sheet - the line goes around the edge of the sheet or ends at the edge. At this time the children enjoy paint with different colors. And also, the graphic language is being formed very actively. There are 16 types of graphic movements in total and the larger the type of scribble, the higher the intelligence baby.

Draw with children from a very early age using the following reasons: - let it develop;

Let him work;

Let him rejoice;

Let him create!

Often from as early as three years old the baby can be heard: "I can't paint» . Involuntarily arise questions: "How did you know that? Who told you this? And have you tried? Let's try it together. A sheet for you, a sheet for me, a pencil for you and a pencil for me. Let's draw the Sun, big, on the entire sheet, round, kind, warm. It smiles like a mother. Look, it stretches out its hands to us - rays. Isn't this a miracle? Just now the sheet was white, clean, and suddenly... The Sun was born, real, alive, it was not born on its own - we helped it. Our Sunshine."

The role of parents and teachers is not only to give to kid certain skills and abilities. The main thing is to help child to see the world, experience beauty with him, instill in him confidence in his abilities and ignite the flame of the joy of creativity. Remember, a lot depends on you, on whoever is next to you. child at the entrance to the complex and diverse world of beauty. Hurry to make your children happy, because a happy childhood is a smart childhood.

Games with drawing.

In the process of visual arts, a child not only learns to draw lines, roll balls and cut paper - he develops as a person. Creativity at an early age promotes mental development baby. After all, in order to depict any object, the baby must first highlight the main thing in this object: round wheels on the car, mom’s face, and so on. Drawing helps a child express his attitude to the world, he learns to convey his emotions with the help of color, lines and shapes. By achieving results, albeit small, but still, the baby becomes more confident in his abilities. And a positive assessment of these results by adults gives the child a sense of significance and value.

You can develop your creativity baby, if from a very early age you introduce him to a variety of materials and teach them how to handle them. Show your baby how to do it draw and sculpt. Use paper of different colors and types for drawings and applications.

Help to kid choose subjects for creative work. Together, remember a familiar fairy tale, sing your favorite song, or refer to the baby’s personal experience, to what interested him ( "Masha collects mushrooms", "Elephant at the Zoo", "Dad is driving a car", "An excavator digs sand"). Drawing It’s also great because it’s easy to move from it to other types of learning activities, and vice versa: the drawing can be inscribed and read, the parts of the drawing can be counted, and if the plot of the work is fairy-tale, you can act out the fairy tale. Visual activities make the activity interesting and exciting for the baby. Before each lesson, the child must be interested in what he will be paint. For this Can:

Observe natural phenomena in advance (rain, snow, rainbow);

Dance and clap ( "like bunnies");

Sing a song (about the rain, about the geese, about the car);

Play a role-playing game ( "Locomotive", "Cat and Mice").

Examples of activities:

“Drawing the rain”

WHAT WE'RE LEARNING: ability to use paints and brushes; paint the technique of dipping; depict familiar natural phenomena.

WILL BE NEEDED: sheets of white paper, saucer with water, brush, watercolor paints.

HOW TO PLAY. Place a sheet of white paper in front of the baby and place a saucer of water. Offer him draw rain with water. Using your hand, show how to dip the brush into water and draw rain. Apply the brush to the leaf using leisurely, soft movements. Having filled the sheet with such rain, rejoice result: “What a rain! Lots of drops!”.Give to kid another sheet and place the paints in front of it. Help him put the right amount of paint on the brush and fill the sheet with strokes. Let there not be very many of them. There is no need to place the drops in a row - it will not look like real rain. Drawing rain can be combined with singing. Then the brush can be applied to the paper in time with the singing.

Rain, rain,

Drip and drip

Don't drip

It's been like this for a long time.

It's raining, it's raining,

It’s not given into your hands,

Drip-drip-drip-drip!

OPTIONS. Play with the finished drawing. Look at it with your baby and sing the song. While singing, you can tap the leaf with your fingers, imitating the sound of rain. You can knock with only two fingers, or you can knock with all of them at once.

“Drawing berries in the grass”

WHAT WE'RE LEARNING: skills painting with paints; different techniques drawing.

WILL BE NEEDED: sheets of white paper, a saucer with water, a brush, watercolor paints, 2-3 felt-tip pens.

HOW TO PLAY. Before draw berries for real, draw them first in the air and then on a sheet without using paint. Place the brush in the baby’s hands and, guiding his movements, draw a circle in the air, speaking: “This is such a round berry!” Let him try to repeat this movement on the sheet, after dipping the brush in water.

Help the baby draw on a blade of grass, a few straight or curved lines are enough. Then ask child draw berries on their own. If he fails, guide his hand by commenting on each movement: “This is how we draw a line, connect here!” You can paint over the berry, or you can leave only the outline.

Enough draw 3-4 berries. After the drawing has dried, offer to kid outline the berries with a contrasting colored felt-tip pen. At the same time with drawing It’s good to sing a song about berries. For example:

Let's go to the garden through the raspberries,

Let's go to the garden, let's go to the garden.

We'll pick raspberries

Let's dial, let's dial...

Secure the circular drawing movement is possible, drawing berries not in the grass, and on a plate. Demonstrate to kid How this is done is by drawing a large circle on a sheet of paper with a brush dipped in water. Have your child draw a plate directly on top of this line. Paint 3-4 berries inside the plate with paints. Place them far apart from each other, otherwise the paint will mix. You can go with berries draw tails and rounded leaves. Place a green marker in your hand child and show how they are drawn.

Commandments for parents drawing with children.

1. Remember: child takes his first steps in art. This is a very important moment. Therefore, you should always be nearby - after all, many surprises can arise when a senior’s advice is important. Otherwise, in case of failure, child will lose all interest in visual arts for a long time. Moreover, together "to create" more fun.

2. Organize art exhibitions more often baby. But never criticize the drawings. Affirm everyone's right to individuality.

3. Child should feel joy from every lesson drawing. Therefore, the tasks that you set for him must be accessible to him, and they can only be made more difficult gradually.

4. Remember that failures can lead to development baby feelings of self-doubt, and this is undesirable. Praise more often child for his diligence, do not ignore any of his work. Do not forget, child Looking forward to your approval! He wants everyone to like his work. Enjoy it

successes and under no circumstances ridicule the young artist in case of failure. It doesn't matter that it didn't work out. It'll work out next time.

5. Provide an opportunity child to work"yourself". If you suggest every time that paint what paints to take, child in the future he will not be able to act independently. He will wait for a hint every time.

6. What if child quits work halfway, explaining that he doesn’t want to anymore? Maybe he doesn’t understand, it’s difficult or he’s tired? Think about it. Most likely, he just can’t do it, help him finish the drawing he started. Start your next lesson with what didn’t work last time. Today it will definitely work. It's bad if child will get used to not finishing the work he starts. This may later become a character trait. A joint drawing will and should bring joy to both you and to kid. Therefore - patience!

7. Collect drawings baby. Home drawing collection baby may play an archaeological role. If there are a lot of drawings at home and you need to make room, then deciding which drawings can be thrown away must be made together with child. Be friends with your children, because childhood passes so quickly! Go ahead and create! Let creativity bring joy to you and your children!

Not every mother knows how to draw beautifully, but she will still have to teach her child. In order to help your child learn this difficult task, you should pay attention to the step-by-step educational images. Some children develop talent from childhood. They can draw whenever and wherever they want. Other kids need to be nudged to help them learn something new. Before you begin the learning process, prepare all the necessary materials - pencils, eraser, paper.

We will divide the entire drawing process into several stages. First, we will learn to draw an oval, which will act as a head.

Then we draw a rectangle, which we connect to the oval. Thus, we have a body.

We begin to work on the overall picture - draw all the elements.

Now let’s “put” pants on the character.

Don't forget your ears! Add two semicircles on both sides of the head.

Now let's get to the hairstyle. You can draw ordinary hair, or you can come up with something intricate.

Let's start with the face - eyes, nose, eyebrows, lips. If you haven't worked on your neck yet, now is the time.

In addition, you can add a shirt or other clothes you like.

We work on the palm and fingers - on each one separately.

For realism, add pleats on the panties, since the knees are convex. Don't forget your shoes.

Now you can get rid of the auxiliary lines and add bright colors to the illustration.

Ready! Any kid can handle this drawing. You can complicate the task and add dynamics to the picture by depicting the hero in motion.

Drawing a girl's face step by step

This lesson is intended for older children who can already boldly depict a human figure. Study several pictures to decide what style you will work in. It is best to start with cartoon characters, as it will be easy and interesting for the little one. Let your child dream - let him go beyond the usual lines and come up with something of his own.

Stage 1. Draw an oval, which we divide into two halves with a horizontal line - the upper part should be larger than the lower. Using a vertical line we divide the face into equal halves. We draw another horizontal line, as in the example. The lines represent the girl's nose, eyes and mouth. At the end we'll just erase them.

Stage 2. Now we mark the nose, mouth area, lips. Please note that the lower lip should be larger than the upper lip.

Stage 3. Mark the place for the eyes. We depict the inner part of the eye focusing on the edges of the nose - these parameters should be parallel. Pay attention to the distance between the eyes - it should not be less than the length of the eye itself. Draw neat eyebrows.

Stage 4. Working on the mouth and lips. In order to determine the length of the mouth, draw two lines down from the inner corners of the eyes.

Stage 5. Erase the auxiliary lines, you can add shadows to give the image volume.

Stage 6. Add realism - cheekbones, shadows, darken the wings of the nose and chin. Paint over the pupil of the eye and add highlights. Don't forget about eyelashes! Ready.

Such a drawing will not be difficult for schoolchildren to repeat, especially if their talent is clearly visible. Experiment with characters and drawing materials. First, study the proportions, direction of lines, shadows, and then feel free to break the rules and come up with something of your own.

Man is the most amazing and unique creature in the world. And also one of the most beautiful. This is evidenced by the fact that images of men or women are present in almost every known painting belonging to masterpieces of fine art. A child thinks about how to draw a person: mom, dad or himself from an early age. Some children inspiredly draw circles and squiggles on their own, while others require training.

They teach how to draw a person, starting from early preschool age. The children's first sketches resemble scribbles. If a child constantly trains, then in the preparatory group he is able to quickly draw a drawing of a person in different poses. It is great if at the same time the young artist conveys facial expressions, portrait resemblance and individual characteristics.

The task of teachers in secondary and art schools is to teach how to draw the human body in accordance with the anatomical structure. For this purpose, several hours in the curriculum are allocated for academic drawing. The best learning effect comes from sketching from life.

You can learn to draw people well at home on your own. For a beginner, all options are good: drawing from photos, video tutorials, using paintings and reproductions for sketching, the main thing is to choose a drawing technique to your liking. Many beginning artists always take a sketchbook with them and sketch in 5 minutes at any time. If you don’t want to sketch on the street, you can draw relatives and friends, or your reflection in the mirror.

How to build an image of a person using geometric shapes

The methodology of a lesson on a given topic in kindergarten is based on the similarity of certain parts of the body with geometric shapes. So, babies’ heads are round, adults’ heads are oval, legs and arms look like rectangles, etc.

You can make a silhouette of a person from any shapes - circles, rectangles, squares.

To solve this problem, the preschooler is given blanks made of paper or cardboard, and he draws up a layout according to a given scheme or comes up with his own sketch. A more difficult task is to draw a person yourself using geometric shapes.

Step-by-step drawing of a man standing

Children 6–7 years old are already familiar with basic drawing techniques. They learned to depict a person in full height, from the waist up, in a static pose and in movement. Drawing from life begins in the preparatory group and in primary school. As auxiliary material in the lesson, it is necessary to have reproductions of paintings, photographs, and samples of work. Before the lesson, it is advisable to talk with children about the beauty and aesthetics of a person, about the fact that each of us is beautiful and unique.

Step 1

As usual, the construction of a figure begins with a simple pencil sketch. First, they look for the correct arrangement of large parts on the paper. Then there is an image of an oval head and torso, consisting of two trapezoids touching at the waist.

Step 2

From the upper corners of the large trapezoid you need to draw lines of the arms, and from the bottom of the small trapezoid - the lines of the legs. A common mistake is that the arms and legs are the same length; children need to be reminded that the upper limbs are shorter.

Step 3

The next step is to give the limbs volume. The shoulders, forearms, thighs and shins are depicted as elongated ovals, tapering downward.

Step 4

A difficult task for a preschooler is to draw hands and feet. Therefore, it is often recommended to depict the fingers and palm in the form of a mitten, and the lower part of the leg in the shape of a triangle. But some children are persistent and want a real realistic drawing; they can be explained how small details are made.

Step 5

At the next stage, unnecessary lines are removed and the silhouette is completed. The sketch of the figure is outlined with a pencil, the head is connected to the body. They add a characteristic detail - a ball in the boy’s hand.

Step 6

Now you need to dress the little man, then draw the eyebrow growth lines, outline the location of the nose, eyes, and mouth.

Step 7

The light pencil drawing ends with detailing of items of clothing, shoes, and facial features. Hair is depicted using abrupt lines.

Step 8

To get a natural skin tone, use beige or orange. When coloring, you do not need to press hard on the pencil.

Step 9

When painting clothes, it is better to use different shades of the same color, highlighting light and shadow, so the drawing will be more vivid and realistic.

Preschoolers need complete freedom in creativity. There is no single and correct drawing option; you cannot correct a child’s work if he wants to act in his own way. If necessary, the right solution can be found through conversation and leading questions.

How to draw a person in motion

Middle school students know a lot about the rules for placing an object in space, taking into account perspective. For students in grades 5–7, it is advisable to start a drawing lesson with an analysis of the structure of the human figure. This is necessary in order to correctly convey the proportions in the drawing, to professionally depict parts of the body, otherwise the real person in the picture will resemble a mannequin. Despite the fact that anatomy is studied later, at this age children already have an understanding of the skeleton, muscles and joints.

The first step in building a sketch step by step is determining the proportions. In adults, the length of the body from the top of the head to the hips is usually equal to the length of the legs. The height of the head fits into the distance from the chin to the beginning of the thigh approximately 3 times. This figure is lower in children and adolescents. The length of the legs of a harmoniously built person is equal to the height of the head multiplied by 3.5–4.

You can depict a person depending on the angle or location of the object and the artist. The main positions are in full face, when the sitter is facing the viewer, in profile - when the person depicted is located from the side, half-turned or half-front, in which the face is not completely visible.

Step 1

The pencil drawing begins with a sketch of the head and torso in the foreground. The spine is the basis of the entire figure; it can be outlined with a curved line. The large joints of the shoulders and pelvis are schematically depicted as circles. The sketch lines are drawn easily, without pressure.

Step 2

At the next stage, the upper and lower limbs are drawn. The elbows are located at waist level, the length of the humerus is equal to the length of the ulna, the knees are in the middle of the leg. The more accurate the sketch, the better the movement will be conveyed.

Step 3

Now you need to build muscle. The most voluminous part of the forearm, thigh and lower leg is located in the upper third; closer to the joint, the limbs gradually narrow. It is easier to depict the body in the form of two ovals.

Step 4

Particular attention is paid to the hands and feet. They are also depicted schematically, imitating the skeleton of the limbs. The foot should be longer than the hand.

Step 5

After drawing all parts of the figure, the extra lines are erased. The silhouette is given the necessary outlines: sharp corners are smoothed out, the sides become sloping, body parts are connected by curved lines.

Step 6

When depicting a face, you also need to maintain proportions. The height of the forehead is equal to the distance from the eyebrow line to the tip of the nose and from the tip of the nose to the chin. The distance between the eyes is equal to the length of the eye. The ear is depicted just below the eyebrow line. To make a girl smile, the corners of her lips need to be slightly raised. At this stage, you can sketch the hairstyle.

Step 7

The more details there are in the drawing, the more realistic it will be. You need to draw clothes, shoes, accessories and other elements that create a bright image. Strands of hair can be highlighted with separate lines.

Step 8

You can color the drawing using colored pencils or paints.

Techniques for teaching a child to draw. Pictures that help you learn to draw objects, animals and people.

• Every mother wants to raise her child to be at least a talented and successful person. On the way to this dream, women strive to comprehensively develop their children, invest in them maximum knowledge and teach them as many skills and abilities as possible.
• One of these skills is the ability to draw. Many kids get quite upset due to their lack of artistic talent.
• In this article we will try to figure out how to teach a baby to draw certain things and animate objects.

How to gradually teach a child to draw at 3-4 years old?

Step-by-step learning to draw a child with a pencil or pen:

1. At the age of 3-4 years, the baby still cannot press hard enough on a pencil, so we select soft pencils for him. Such pencils are capable of leaving marks behind them even after very light pressure.
2. We demonstrate to the child how to hold a pencil in his hand correctly. If the child is unable to pick up a pencil on his own, we help him with this. Subsequently, we constantly ensure that the baby holds a pen or pencil in his hand correctly.
3. The first stage of training will be to instill the skill of drawing an even and clear line. At this age, kids are still quite uncertain when holding a pencil in their hand. Therefore, their lines turn out uneven and intermittent. We teach the baby to draw a line confidently and evenly
4. It is advisable to purchase a special notebook for your child to trace pictures. In such notebooks, all drawings are depicted using numerous dots. The baby just needs to connect all the dots with one line. The result is a beautiful drawing.
5. At first, we help the child trace the pictures, guiding his brush with our hand. Later, we let the baby independently connect all the dots on the piece of paper.
6. At the next stage, we teach the child to draw the simplest geometric shapes - circle, square, rectangle, triangle, oval, trapezoid.
7. When the baby learns to draw simple figures, we teach him to create drawings from them. For example, using a square and a triangle we draw a house, using a circle and straight lines - the sun, using a rectangle and circles - a bus, etc.
8. You can purchase or print children's drawing books from the Internet. In such manuals, various animals and objects familiar to children, created from simple figures, are gradually depicted. Subsequently, the child himself will learn to break all objects into shapes and create whole pictures using this technique.

• If by the age of five the child has already completed the pencil training described above, you can begin the next stages of developing drawing skills
• Now you can expand your little one’s creativity with the help of colored pencils, markers and paints. It is necessary to explain to the child that after sketching a drawing with a pencil, he can color it
• On a large sheet of paper, the baby can now create entire compositions and interconnected plots
• An ordinary walk on the street can be an excellent help for the development of a child’s imagination. You simply need to ask the baby to capture in his memory pictures that are interesting to him for later displaying them on a sheet of paper. The baby will then very carefully and intently examine the objects around him in order to remember them. Parents can give their child some tips. To do this, you can ask him leading questions like: “What color is this or that object? What are its dimensions? What is the ratio of the sizes of several objects that the baby likes? What do objects feel like to the touch, according to the baby?”
• All this will help the child to imprint interesting moments in his memory as best as possible, and then express them on paper.

• Upon arriving home from a walk, it is advisable to immediately give the baby all the items necessary for drawing and provide him with a place convenient for creativity.
• If your child suddenly has any questions, you need to help him find answers to them.
• Parents can also ask their child questions about what he intends to portray. You can ask what sensations the child experiences, trying to draw what he saw earlier
• In such classes, you can give your child the right to express his emotions and show them through drawing. For example, you can ask your little one to draw his favorite animal in different moods. That is, the child’s task is to show how the dog laughs, how angry it is, how afraid it is of something. Such lessons will develop the child’s imagination and at the same time express the state of his psyche

How to teach how to draw a tree?

• Any tree always consists of a trunk, branches and greenery
• You need to start drawing a tree from the trunk. It is worth noting that the tree trunk expands from top to bottom. In other words, the base of the tree is thicker at the bottom and tapers towards the top.
• The same applies to tree branches - at the base they are thicker, and towards their end they become narrower
• The thickness of the trunk depends on the type of tree. If you want to draw a birch, then the trunk should be thin with bends; if you want to draw an oak, then the trunk should be thick and massive

• After the trunk is drawn, it is necessary to cover it with branches. As a rule, the branches of a tree do not start from the root, but from a quarter of its height. The lower branches are usually depicted wider than the upper ones
• The direction of the branches is always upward - they seem to stretch towards the sun
• On large branches you can draw smaller branches
• The crown can be drawn as a solid mass using paints, or it can be drawn with a pencil in the form of individual leaves
• When all the elements of the tree are drawn, all that remains is to paint it over. To depict a tree, you will need at least two colors: trunk and branches - brown or black, crown - green

How to draw animals?

As mentioned above, to make drawing animals easier, their body must be visually divided into simple geometric shapes. Having drawn each of the figures one by one, you need to connect them with smooth lines. This is how animals are made.

Machine drawing

It would seem that drawing a person is very difficult. However, if you adhere to a certain scheme, even a preschool child can cope with this task. So, step by step drawing of a person:

1. Draw an oval. The oval will later become a human head
2. Under the oval we draw a rectangle that will act as the upper part of the human body (to the waist)
3. We connect the oval and rectangle with two smooth lines. Thus we draw the neck
4. Draw a second rectangle adjacent to the rectangle. Its width should be equal to the width of the first rectangle, but in length it will be slightly more oblong
5. We divide the second rectangle in half with a line running exactly in the center from top to bottom. This line will help us create some semblance of legs
6. Along the first rectangle we draw one more thin rectangle. This is how we draw the hands
7. Smooth the upper part of the rectangles with a smooth line - these will be the shoulders
8. Now we draw the neck of the sweater, the triangle on the pants, shoes and hands. All extra lines need to be erased with an eraser.

Video: How to teach a child to draw?

If you decide to take up drawing with your baby, remember that in the first years of life a little person actively learns and discovers the world around him. And drawing for him is also a kind of game, an experiment, a way of realizing his childhood fantasies.

After all, you can play not only with cubes and dolls. You can invent and draw interesting stories on paper, make paper clothes, beds and furniture for the same paper dolls, draw road maps for toy travel, etc.

Show your child as many ways of drawing as possible, and soon you will notice manifestations of his own imagination.

What do drawing lessons give a child?

• Your baby will develop fine motor skills and hand coordination, and this is directly related to the development of intelligence. This means that your child will learn to reason logically, he will have a good memory, attention and coherent speech.
• Drawing prepares a child's hand for writing.
• While playing drawing, the little artist will learn to distinguish colors and shades, size and number of objects.
• Not being able to express his feelings in words, your baby will be able to express them through creativity. Knowing this, psychologists successfully help children get rid of their fears through drawing.

When to start drawing lessons?

Children develop an interest in drawing very early. They see how older children and adults draw and write, and try to imitate them. You can stimulate this interest and not wait for the child to ask you for pencils or paints, but specifically invite him to draw.

At first, let him just watch you draw. After all, his hands are still quite weak to hold a brush or pencil. From about 4 months, you can invite your child to paint with his fingers and palms. And when his hands get stronger, that is, closer to the second year of life, first offer him a brush, then pencils and felt-tip pens.

Don’t rush to teach your child to draw from the very first lessons. Let him just scribble funny doodles on paper. This is the first stage of drawing that your baby goes through. Experts call it soiling stage. Until about 2 years of age, your little artist will play with a pencil, simply scratching it on paper and not creating specific images.

How to teach a child to hold a pencil correctly?

A correct three-finger grip needs to be developed gradually. And you can start long before the baby starts drawing with a pencil.

First, the child learns to grasp objects with his thumb and forefinger. This skill is formed at approximately 9-10 months. Special games will help him develop.

• With loose objects- mosaics, small stones, buttons, beads. You can simply sort them out, or you can place them in containers with two fingers.
• With clothespins. Cut out various shapes from cardboard (for example, a Christmas tree, a hedgehog, the sun, etc.) and invite your child to attach clothespins to them. Clothespins can also be attached to the rim of a bucket, to each other and, of course, to clothing and rope.
• With tweezers. Teach your child to use tweezers to transfer small toys, pieces of foam rubber, and pasta from one container to another.

Choosing pencils and markers

So, short and triangular pencils will teach your baby to hold them correctly.

In addition, the first pencils for drawing should be very soft so that they can leave a mark on the paper without strong pressure. These can be wax and plastic pencils, water-based pencils. They are easily sharpened with ordinary sharpeners, leave soft and even strokes, and the designs are rich and bright. Such pencils do not stain your hands, are easily washed off clothes, and have no odor.

And of course, your baby can easily draw with felt-tip pens. Now on sale there are harmless markers with ink based on food coloring. They also sell felt-tip pens that can be easily washed off your hands and clothes.

Where to start drawing?

First, show your baby how to use the new item correctly. Draw something simple and understandable to the baby - lines, simple figures, a house, a cloud, the sun. After this, give the child a pencil and be sure to praise him if he draws at least a couple of strokes or dots.

Take the baby's hand in your hand and slowly draw together with him, first straight and wavy lines, circles, ovals, then gradually complicate the image. This way you will help your child master basic movements faster and use his muscle memory.

The lesson will be interesting and educational if you read poetry or sing a song and at the same time draw what you are talking or singing about. The more songs, poems, fairy tales, and jokes you know, the easier it will be for you to come up with a plot for the drawing.

Don’t forget about Suteev’s fairy tales “The Mouse and the Pencil”, “The Rooster and the Paints”, “The Capricious Cat”. All kids, without exception, love these fascinating fairy tales in pictures. In addition, they show step by step how to draw, for example, a cat.

Learn to draw lines

In order for the child to be able to draw what he has in mind, he simply needs to learn how to draw a variety of lines with a pencil - straight, wavy, close them into a circle, oval, etc. And if it costs us, adults, nothing to draw any line with a pencil, then for a child it is real work. The child has not yet learned to control hand movements and it is still difficult for him to handle writing instruments.

So one of the first things you can teach a young artist is to draw lines. To do this, invite him to play the following games.

"Connectors". This game not only gives you the opportunity to practice drawing straight lines on paper, but also develops logical thinking. You need to prepare for it in advance. Draw or stick images on a piece of paper and ask your child to connect them with lines, following a certain logic. You can give your child the following tasks:

• Connect identical butterflies (cars, flowers, berries...) with lines.
• Connect cookies of the same shape with lines.
• Connect the fruits to the plate with lines.
• Connect objects of the same color.

You can gradually make the tasks more difficult.

"Complete the picture." Invite your child to fill in the missing details. Let them be just straight lines at first, for example:

• mushroom stems;
• umbrella handles;
• tree trunks;
• rays of the sun, etc.

Let the baby connect the flower heads with the vase, the balls with the man’s hand.

Draw a cloud and make it rain with your child. Draw the ground, and let the child draw the grass.

Stencils. Teach your child to draw using a stencil. Nowadays, stores offer a wide selection of stencils on different themes - animals, vegetables, fruits, sea creatures, etc. You can also use the edges of a sorter cube as stencils.

This activity trains muscle memory. By tracing stencils, the child learns to draw closed lines and shapes.

"Circle the object." Place cups, cubes, frames and inserts on a piece of paper and trace with a colored pencil. Then match the corresponding object with the figure drawn on the paper. This game teaches you how to trace flat shapes, as well as relate a flat image to its outline.

And of course, don’t forget to trace your baby’s hands - this activity brings great joy to little artists.

"Paths". Draw paths on paper - two parallel lines. Invite your child to first trace them with his finger and then run a pencil over them.

You need to trace with your finger so that the baby understands the task. It also develops muscle memory. If you remember, at school students first write letters and numbers in the air with their hands and only after that - in their notebooks.

To make it interesting for your little one, come up with a plot. For example, draw a ladybug at the beginning of the path, and a house at the end. Now, together with your child, help the ladybug get to the house. You can also help the truck get to the garage, the ship to sail to the island, and the butterfly to fly to the flower.

Learn to do shading

Hatching helps develop the skill of continuous writing. It is always done from left to right, just as we read and write.

"Cat and mouse" For this activity you will need a toy cat. Draw houses on paper and mice in them.

Ding-ding-bom, ding-ding-bom,
A cat walks with a bell.
The mice immediately heard
They quickly ran into the hole.
Close the windows quickly
You will save the mice from the cat.

Show your child how to hide mice from the cat by shading them.

For the first lessons, draw small houses so that the child’s hand does not get tired and he does not get tired of drawing. You can use other characters - bunnies and a wolf, chickens and a fox. Or you can not save anyone, but just play hide and seek.

As you can see, you can teach your child the basics of drawing, even if you don’t know how to do it yourself. There are many techniques with which you can create original works, even without any drawing ability.

If your child refuses to complete your tasks, do not insist. Let the baby draw whatever and however he wants. After all, it is much more important to support his imagination and independence, and not to teach drawing techniques.

Discussion

I place the child’s hand on my fist with a pencil and move it. Patience doesn't last long. Thanks, we'll try it too!

really interesting, we are also 2 years old, we will definitely try this method.

How I would like to love doing this with a child! But I don’t want and I don’t like. Nausea and boredom. Well done mommies - they enjoy drawing with their children and developing them!

Not a bad article, you can read it with pleasure in addition to Tyulenev’s system of real early development, Nikitin’s “parental pedagogy”. But there are several errors, both fundamental and technical. First of all, it is striking that the author avoids the axioms of early development established and discussed here. For example, in “real early development” it was found that it is easier for a child to call a square a square the first time than to associate it with a house. ...
The author does not write anything about the theory and practice of dynacesses, although they are already 20 years old! :(
It is clear that the author, more or less conscientiously, but without reference to the classics and founders of early development, goes from an older age to an early age of a child...
And yet it is clear that the “author of books and trainings” lacks serious familiarity with books on early development. What is worth at least this phrase: “There are many techniques with which you can create original works, even without any drawing ability” (!). The author, it seems, does not even suspect that it is “real early development” that is engaged precisely in forming the inclinations and developing the ability to draw using scientifically based methods of intellectual development (accepted abbreviation: WORLD). And so on, etc. P. However, I will not criticize too much a good article, in general, relative to many others - let people read it, start studying - well, and then we’ll talk! :)

My son will be 1.3 years old, but somehow I never thought before that it’s time to teach him to draw, although he already draws with a pencil or pen, especially on cardboard; he’s not particularly comfortable on thin paper. I'll try to get more serious about drawing with him one of these days.

Very interesting article. Before reading this article, I didn’t even think that a child at a young age should and can be taught to draw with the help of games. My son is 2 years old, but as a teaching method, I simply moved his hand along the sheet, showing him how to draw various shapes. Thank you! Now I will use various games from your article.

🔹 In the first months after birth, the baby spends all his time with his mother; he needs her for full development. The mother leans over to the baby, looks into the baby’s face, coos affectionately with him, intuitively choosing the right way of communication.

From here: [link-1] CULTURAL SHOCK OF A PARENT Today I came across an article on Sibnovosti under the wonderful title “Krasnoyarsk children from kindergarten will be introduced to cultural values.” Culture ennobles a person.

The child remembers better what is really interesting to him. Therefore, it is very important in the learning process to arouse curiosity in him, interest him, and captivate him into the world of knowledge.

Parents try to enroll their child in all possible clubs, and in their free time they study with them at home.

Play is the main activity of a preschool child...

Many parents often hear: “You have an inattentive child,” “all the mistakes in the text are due to inattention.” And the parents themselves most likely notice that their child cannot concentrate on one topic, is often distracted, can skip letters when reading, make mistakes and not notice them, ask a question on one topic and immediately jump to another. All this is carelessness. A kindergarten teacher, teacher, or psychologist can help you determine if your...

Until the age of 7, children are dominated by so-called natural fears based on the instinct of self-preservation. At the age of 7-10, there seems to be a balance between natural and social fears (loneliness, punishment, being late). If we describe this in more detail, we can identify specific fears characteristic of each period of life. First year of life - Fear of a new environment - Fear of distance from the mother - Fear of strangers From 1 to 3 years - Fear of the dark (the main fear at this age)...

We go to a speech therapist and they give us tasks to determine where the letter, for example, “P”, is in a word - at the beginning, middle or end. My husband thinks that it is too early to torture a child to read words; we are really having trouble understanding the place of a letter in a word. What about the other 4.5 year old children?

Dear owners of three-year-old children who attend kindergartens! Do you think a child at this age needs additional activities such as drawing, dancing, sports, etc. if kindergarten has all this minimally? Or can you wait 1-2-3 years without remorse?

Time passes, but the baby is silent or, at best, “mumbles” something in the only language he understands, why? It is not easy to answer this question unequivocally; the reasons may be unfavorable ecology, poor health of the mother during pregnancy, immaturity or insufficiency of the sensorimotor sphere, neurological diseases of the child himself, hearing problems... Or maybe your baby lacks communication. Do you talk to him, do you comment on your and his actions, do you discuss everything...
