Monotype winter using monotype technique. How to conduct a drawing lesson using the monotype technique in kindergarten

What do you do when you feel anxious? Or anxiety? Have you tried art therapy? They say it helps a lot. One type of such psychological release is monotype. Moreover, this technique has been used since kindergarten. Of course, not for stress relief (except perhaps as a teacher), but for development creative potential toddlers. Let's consider the intricacies of creating a lesson on monotype in a children's educational institution.

What is the essence of the impression technique?

Translated from Greek, monotype means a drawing of one print. An image is applied to the surface (smooth, rough), then a sheet of paper is applied to the picture, pressed, carefully separated - the drawing using the monotype technique is ready.

Professional drawings using the monotype technique are a completely unique genre of creativity.

Monotype originated by accident, and we owe its spread in Russia to the artist of the early twentieth century Elizaveta Kruglikova, who spilled paint on the printing board, applied paper to wipe the stain, and when she lifted the sheet, she saw interesting image. Subsequently, she repeatedly used this technique to create her paintings.

IN kindergarten monotype begins to be used in working with children 4–5 years old, that is, in middle group. At this age, children can already complement the drawings with their own images, and not just repeat the actions of the teacher. The images obtained with the help of a print can be left in the form in which they were obtained, or you can complete the drawing individual parts for a clearer picture. Monotype is useful for:

  • development of imagination;
  • expanding ideas about the world around us;
  • development of creativity and imagination;
  • fostering independence at work.

Features of the preparatory stage

The implementation of the assigned tasks depends on the thoroughness of the preparation of the lesson by the teacher. So the planning stage needs to be given enough time and effort.

Paints and base

For monotype you can use gouache and watercolor. As for the latter, you should not dilute it too much with water, otherwise the image will turn out unclear. Watercolor has an undeniable advantage- it is easily washed off if, for example, the print is a little blurred. But gouache makes very beautiful stains.

Gouache diluted with water produces very bright and beautifully shaped stains

In some kindergartens, fine arts classes use acrylic paints. But for monotype they are very inconvenient, since they dry quickly and are practically not washed off.

Professionals use the monotype technique to create paintings. oil paints, but it’s difficult for children to work with them.

As a basis for the drawing (that is, the “signet” itself), you can use:

  • thick sheets of paper (for example, whatman paper);
  • thick glossy paper;
  • film (due to the complexity of working with this type of material, it is rarely used and only in classes with older children);
  • plastic board;
  • glass;
  • tiles.

Monotype techniques

Getting acquainted with the technique begins with learning how to create object images. This means that a sheet of paper is folded in half, on one part we draw half of the image and, until it dries, we cover it with the second part of the sheet. This is how symmetrical drawings are obtained.

Can be used with older children landscape monotype: on one half of the sheet (or a smooth surface) we draw a landscape, combine it with the second part and get a solid image. This method is convenient for drawing, for example, the reflection of a forest in water.

The next option for creating a print on paper requires certain skills in the work. We need a plastic board. It is applied to it dark paint, then cotton swab a plot is drawn and a sheet of paper is applied - the result is an imprint similar to a drawing made with a candle.

For dark background you can use a cotton swab, which will simply wipe off the outline, and to draw a pattern on light-colored paints, use a brush with dark paint

If used for a picture bright hues paints, then an image is drawn on the board with darker paints, and a brush is used rather than a cotton swab.

Another unusual way get a print - crumple a sheet of paper and unfold it before applying paint to it. This will make the print more textured.

How can you complete a picture?

You can supplement the resulting picture in two ways:

  • gradually adding elements and combining surfaces to obtain an impression;
  • finishing the finished picture.

For creating bright drawings often the print is completed with pencils, wax crayons or even markers. This allows you to make the necessary accents in the image. In addition to supplementing the composition with tracing, you can use:

  • coloring (filling individual details of the picture with color);
  • finishing drawing (some elements are applied to the finished drawing, for example, animals in the forest).

Scheme of compilation and example of lesson notes

To create a situation of success in the classroom, when every child feels involved in a common cause and enjoys the work, the teacher needs to develop a lesson outline in great detail.

Monotype allows children to experience the joy of creativity without much effort and without much time investment.

Objectives of a drawing lesson using monotype:

  • continued acquaintance with monotype;
  • nurturing love for nature;
  • development of imagination;
  • instilling a sense of collectivism and mutual assistance.

It is equally important to rationally distribute the time allocated for each stage of work on the topic.. Traditionally, these are three stages of covering a topic:

  • Introductory part (up to 5 minutes). At this stage the teacher uses different techniques in order to properly motivate children to work (reading books, reciting poems, role-playing games, dramatizations from studied fairy tales, etc.).
  • Main part (up to 20 minutes). A stage that includes work on the drawing, as well as a “break” for physical education and finger gymnastics. Physical education can be replaced with articulatory gymnastics, especially if the kids had previous experience with drawing sport games or a walk.
  • Final stage (up to 5 minutes). This time is allotted for praising the kids for their work and creating an exhibition. finished works and children’s reflection (in the form of answers to questions, for example, “Did I like the lesson?”, “Am I satisfied with my work?”, “Whose drawing seems to me the most successful? Why,” etc.).

Since monotype does not require too much time, the main part can be cut in favor of introductory and final stages. But no more than 6–7 minutes.

Fragment of drawing notes for the middle group “Magic Butterflies”, author Yulia Golomazova

Below is a fragment of a summary that can be used in preparing lessons with children in kindergarten.

  1. The teacher takes out pictures of butterflies from the envelope and
    places them on the easel. Children look at them, identify similarities and differences in colors, shape, size, and come up with names for butterflies. Educator: “I’ll wave now with a magic wand, and you too will turn into butterflies and fly a little.”
  2. Fizminutka: A flower was sleeping and suddenly woke up,
    (torso to the right, to the left.)
    I didn't want to sleep anymore
    (torso forward, backward.)
    He moved, stretched,
    (hands up, stretch.)
    Soared up and flew,
    (hands up, right, left.)
    The sun will just wake up in the morning,
    The butterfly is spinning and curling.
    (spin around)
  3. Educator: “The butterflies have rested and it’s time for them to go back. I
    I'll wave my magic wand and you'll turn into children again. Guys, let's try to draw butterflies today! But we won't have simple butterflies, but magical!
  4. Children apply paint as desired to one half of the sheets of paper. Teacher: “Add more water, we need her in order for our miracle to work.”
  5. -Okay, well done. Now let’s bend the sheet in half and gently stroke it with our palm and unfold it. What happened? The design was symmetrically imprinted on the second half of the sheet, thanks to which the Butterfly straightened
    wings and is about to take off!

Examples of work using the monotype technique in kindergarten

Below are several instructions for working in the monotype technique.

"Butterfly"

Children apply paint to create the outline of a butterfly wing

Instructions:

  1. Guys, bend the sheet in half, placing it horizontally.
  2. We will draw on the left half of the sheet. So, closer to the middle we make a thick line with blue paint.
  3. From this line we place spots of red, orange, yellow tones, making them as if in the shape of a butterfly wing.
  4. Fold the sheet along the fold and iron it with your hand.
  5. Expand the drawing and draw the antennae.

"Winter"

For this design you will need a base sheet (or tile) and a cotton swab.

How brighter shade blue, the more clearly the patterns will be visible

Instructions:

  1. We dilute the blue gouache with water and dip the brush.
  2. We apply paint strokes to the tiles, trying to make them as thick as possible.
  3. Use a cotton swab to make chaotic lines, wiping off the paint.
  4. We attach a sheet of paper and press it to the base.
  5. Carefully remove the sheet. The drawing is ready.

“Summer Day” (landscape monotype)

This monotype example shows how to create a reflection in water.

Landscapes using the monotype technique turn out very lively and bright

Instructions:

  1. Fold the sheet in half vertically.
  2. Draw at the top. On the left we mark the trunk of the tree and draw the leaves.
  3. We make strokes in the background green paint- forest.
  4. At the top right we draw horizontal strokes-clouds.
  5. Fold the sheet along the fold and press it.
  6. Slowly remove the top edge. The picture is ready.

II. Introductory conversation

The topic of our lesson: “Landscape using monotype technique.”

What is monotype?

Monotype is a unique non-circulation technique that combines the qualities of printmaking and painting. Monotype: two words: “mono” and “type”. Monotype (from “mono” - one and the Greek “typos” - imprint, imprint, touch, image...) is a type of printed graphics.

Works made using the monotype technique are characterized by subtlety of color relationships, smoothness and softness of the outlines of forms, which outwardly brings monotype closer to watercolor.

The monotype technique has been known since the 17th century, but it became widespread only from the end of the 19th century. Among the most famous masters: Italian Giovanni Castiglione (1616-1670), Englishman William Blake (1757-1828), Frenchman Edgar Degas (1834-1917), who combined monotype with tempera (“Concert at the Ambassador Café”). Slide 3

The appearance of monotype in Russia is associated with the name of Elizaveta Sergeevna Kruglikova, who re-discovered this technique at the beginning of the 20th century and created her own school. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Russian artist Elizaveta Kruglikova, who was working on color etching, independently “discovered” monotype. Lyrical, contemplative, calm landscapes, bouquets of roses, daisies, and daisies are immediately remembered when the artist’s name is mentioned. Slide 4

The main difference between monotype is the uniqueness of the work, and a large element of chance in the final result. Using monotype it is easier to create an abstract image than a figurative one. However, even in the creation of visual images, monotype has great potential for entertainment and surprise.

The main difficulty when performing fine art with flowing paints is to anticipate and control the behavior of the paint after separation of the matrix and paper.
The element of unpredictability, uniqueness, ease of implementation, and wealth of possibilities well characterize monotype as a graphic technique.

Monotype as a graphic technique

The method of performing monotype can be described simply - any coloring substance is applied to any smooth or textured hard surface, then printing is done by pressing the target surface of the print onto the matrix.

With this type of graphics, one print (mono) is obtained on paper from glass (copper sheet, etc.) on which paints are applied. Place a sheet of paper on top and press it to the surface. An impression is formed on the paper with unusual patterns that cannot be repeated by the artist. The image on the print is random (stokha) in nature. After printing, the artist selects those prints that satisfy him in terms of aesthetic appeal and subject matter. Of the many prints, only a few are selected.

Let's move on to a more detailed consideration of the material part of this technology.
Let's start with colors. This technique is omnivorous in relation to paints! “Watercolor, gouache, tempera, acrylic, oil paints, etching, typographic, for complete tearing you can also use construction types of paints. Paints are used both with thinners and pure form- depending on the tasks. The choice of surfaces from which impressions can be made is also wide and varied: paper, different kinds cardboard, plastic of different thicknesses, plates of different metals: zinc-copper-steel-brass. And also glass, hardboard and plywood! Canvas and wood, stone! The main thing is that the surface texture corresponds to the artist’s tasks and goals.”

Regarding the types of paints, it should be noted that depending on the purpose, the artist must vary the thickness and fluidity of the paint according to the goals of his work. With high fluidity, the paint forms characteristic fractal formations, and with high density or, conversely, with strong dilution and a thin layer of application, textures similar to dotted or formed small spots. These textures are uniform when the paint is thinned and repeat the movements and texture of the brush (like a semi-dry ink brush) when the paint is thick. However, a final generalization cannot be made here - it all depends on the type of paint material chosen by the author. For example, when working with oil, fractal formations will most likely be in the area of ​​the volumetric texture of one color spot.

As for the surface, any choice will determine the type of work. The wettability of the matrix surface and its ability to absorb ink and solvent (water or other) should be taken into account as factors important to the creation of the work. In particular, for example, with watercolor monotype, if the surface absorbs the dye strongly and high transparency is required, then white spots should be expected. With monotype, for example, gouache, if the surface strongly absorbs the solvent, then we can assume that the paint density will be higher, etc.

Thus, with the help of the ink material, the surface of the matrix and the surface on which the print is made, the final result can be indirectly controlled.
Paint is also applied to the surface using various tools: the artist’s hand and fingers, brushes, palette knives, various spatulas, including curly ones. Rollers with different textures are also used. And finally, whatever comes to your creative mind.
Etching machines are used to make prints from sheets of plastic and metal sheets. To make a print from a lithographic stone, a lithographic printing press is used.
To remove paint from the printing surface, they use everything from simple fabric to all sorts of specific materials: matches, steel sponge for cleaning dishes, cotton swabs...

Methods for creating a monotype

The first method, one of the simplest, is also called - “fractal monotype”.

Take the selected hard surface, in a creative impulse apply paint with the tool you need, lay paper on top, press it on top with your hands or a rubber roller. Smoothly remove the sheet. Examine the resulting impression. As a rule, this method is quite difficult to manage. Especially if you use water-based paints: watercolor, gouache, acrylic, tempera. Then many artists, peering at the resulting print, try to see some image, landscape, composition and slightly modify the print, trying to enhance and reveal what they saw in the monotype.”

It should be noted that the creation of the image and the location of fractal patterns can be controlled. This is done by placing more fluid paint where fractal patterns should appear. The important thing is that the patterns begin to appear when the surface tension film is broken, which happens when the work is separated from the matrix. Thus, the direction of branching of fractals can be controlled using the direction of separation of the work. That is, if you tear the work from top to bottom, that is, by the top edge, then the fractals will most likely branch in the opposite direction.

Second way. Slide 6

When paint is applied to plates of metal or plastic, paper is placed on top and an impression is made using an etching or lithographic press. In this technique, as a rule, oil and etching paints are more often used. This method allows you to accurately control the creative process and accurately predict the desired creative result. Here you can create almost picturesque realistic works. To prevent ink oil from sticking to the paper, it is moistened with water before printing!

Third way. Slide 7

You paint a work of art with oil paints on canvas or cardboard. Then you apply paper, fabric or the same canvas - carefully, but maybe not very carefully. It all depends on your temperament. You press the paper, also using various pressing techniques. As experience shows, you can make up to three prints, and none of them will repeat the previous one. The result is very subtle paintings that can be finished on top of the monotype. But it will already be mixed media.

Fourth way. Slide 8

This method requires the artist to draw with firm confidence, since corrections are impossible.

Take plastic or glass. Roll with a roller Right place or the entire surface of the sheet with an even layer of paint, after removing excess oil from paint, laying it out on newspaper for a while. If you are not sure that you can immediately draw and compose the work on a sheet, then, before you put it on the paint, lightly a simple pencil You can outline the main composition and then, without pressing, lower the sheet onto the surface rolled with paint. And then you begin to draw what you have outlined, working with a pencil, a simple pen, or a brush handle - it all depends on the thickness of the line you want to get.

It is advisable not to rest your hands on the paper. After completing your exercises on paper, carefully remove the sheet.

Like any type of monotype, it can be modified and completed.

Fifth way. Slide 9

Pour water into the photo tray. Take printing inks, dilute them in different jars until liquid with gasoline or a special solvent. Then you take brushes and, depending on the internal painting state, splash paint onto the water, adjusting which color you need more or less of. And then the fun begins: by mixing the paints with the handle of the brush, you can see the unique pattern that you think is necessary.

You need to work quickly, but carefully: place a sheet of paper on the water (one edge, and then only, as if in an arc, the second edge). And it must be removed in the same way: first one, and then the second one in an arc. Mixing in water, the colors create amazing picturesque combinations, like in a kaleidoscope.

Sixth method - mixed technique Slide 10

When the created monotype is taken as a base and then modified with various other materials: oil pastel, dry pastel, acrylic, oil, tempera, textured pastes, and so on.

The very beauty of monotype is that there is unpredictability in it, which brings this amazing feeling of expectation of a miracle to monotype! Albeit a small one, but still a miracle that makes the artist’s heart tremble with joy. The monotype process is probably the most exciting of all the activities! Slides 11-23

III. Formulation of the practical work assignment

Exercise. Draw a landscape using the monotype technique.

Before moving on to practical work, let's remember what “landscape” is?

A genre in which the main subject of the image is nature, wild or transformed by man, is called landscape(from the French paygag - nature).

The diversity of nature has given rise to various types of landscape genres in the fine arts.

In the work of landscape artists, what is interesting is not the fact of a realistic depiction of nature, but rather the reflection of a subjective, individual view of it. Yours emotional condition people often associate with the state of nature. Landscapes are able to express people’s feelings, as in them artists creatively reproduce views of nature. It appears to them colored by emotions, for example, “joyful” or “gloomy,” although these states are not at all inherent in nature.

IV. Briefing

First stage:

For work we will need material:

  • A3 paper;
  • oil paints;
  • roller;
  • brushes;
  • a cloth or napkins for wiping paint from brushes and from the surface;
  • plexiglass;
  • a jar of solvent;
  • palette for mixing colors;
  • newspaper.

Third stage:

Selecting a topic color range(depending on the emotional coloring of the landscape motif). The work is carried out in the same way as you paint from life or fantasize, come up with your own color combinations colors. Try to take the color clean, bright, saturated. The shades of color are noble and pleasant to the eye.

You can correct the pattern on the glass using a spatula or cotton swabs. Spray with solvent.

Fourth stage:

After we have completed the sketch in color, we take a sheet of paper, previously moistened with water, so that the oil does not stick to the paper, and apply it to the painted surface.

Fifth stage:

The next step is that you need to carefully press down the sheet and roll it with a roller. On top, depending on the idea, you can draw details with the handle of the brush.

Sixth stage:

Next, you carefully remove the sheet of paper from the plexiglass. Please note that the drawing must be removed by holding a corner of the sheet and slowly lifting the second corner of the sheet so that the sheet does not move when removed from the surface.

Seventh stage:

Then the resulting print can be finalized by clarifying the details of the drawing.

V. Practical work

During work, the music of Vivaldi “The Seasons” and sounds of nature are played.

Subject: "Winter landscape"

Goals:

Introduce children to new technology unconventional drawing - monotype.

Develop children's creative imagination, cultivate diligence, perseverance, and accuracy. Learn to use a brush and watercolor paints, draw with cotton swabs.

There are many ways - how to do it monotype, but for kids I chose the simplest one. It consists in applying paint to one surface of a sheet folded exactly in half and imprinting it on the other. With the help of this technique, you can prepare a background for a future drawing, For example: aquarium, summer meadow. winter landscape.

Since winter is approaching and nature has already pleased us with the first snow, I decided to invite the children to draw winter landscape.

To begin with, we prepared the material.


Let's get started work.

Fold the landscape sheet exactly in half and quickly paint one side of the sheet with a brush using blue watercolor paint.




Fold the sheet exactly in half and smooth it out well.



Carefully open the leaf


We get a unique print - a ready-made background for winter landscape


Cut the sheet in half


Then a physical education minute:

It's freezing outside

To keep your nose from freezing

We need to stomp our feet

And clap your hands

Snowflakes are falling from the sky

Like in a fairy tale picture.

We'll catch them with our hands

And we'll show the house to mom.

Relax and let's get started work.

My kids drew a tree and a snowball


We draw a snowball with white gouache and a cotton swab





The result is such masterpieces.

Let's draw monotype technique with children: everything ingenious is simple

Is your little one constantly trying to get himself dirty in anything, and then, with a fascinated look, draw intricate figures on the walls with his hands? Rejoice: even if you don’t raise your child to be a modern Michelangelo, you can be sure that creativity it is definitely present in it. Therefore, your most important task should be to help your baby develop this little talent. And an excellent method to direct in a peaceful direction is regular smearing of surrounding objects. drawing technique« monotype» . The Greeks used this clever word to describe the technique of imprinting a design from one surface onto another.

A LITTLE THEORY

Before you do monotype, you should decide on the choice of materials. The main rule is no rules, except for safety. You can draw on a wide variety of surfaces (paper, cellophane, plastic board and even a kitchen tray) and any colors (finger painting, watercolor, gouache). And as a brush you can use any available material, including cotton swabs and your own fingers.

Drawing monotype technique will not leave little artists indifferent, because you never know what the result will be in the end. And each subsequent print will be different from the previous one, and isn’t this a reason for developing imagination?

How to do monotype. Practical exercises

The simplest monotype technique for children- this is when on one monotipiy dly deteihalf of a sheet you draw whatever your heart desires, and then bend the paper in half and get mirror reflection Pictures. You can also print the drawing on a second sheet - and the picture will be even more original. Now it’s time to exercise your imagination and try to figure out what happened in the end. The picture can be left as is or painted to make it more expressive. like this technique Even a small toddler will be happy to master it.

A little more original version monotypes: Drawing on a glass or plastic surface. You can apply an even layer of paint of the same color to the entire surface, then use a cotton swab or finger to draw what you have in mind. Or put colorful blots in random order and draw your own scribbles. After that all that remains is to spray "blank" water and place a sheet of paper on top. It is advisable that the latter does not get wet for as long as possible. Holding the corners of the paper, sudden movement pull the sheet together and let it dry. Now you can play again "guessing game".

The main thing is to do no harm!

Before allowing your baby to fully immerse himself in creative process, show him the basic principles monotype techniques. And then give him the opportunity to draw some masterpiece himself. The main thing is not to interfere in the process, but to provide to the young artist complete freedom for imagination. It makes sense to help only if the baby himself asks for it. And this needs to be done in doses; it’s better to explain it again. Well, praising the little genius is a must!

For our masters we needed a class.

Drawing on a glass or plastic surface. You can apply an even layer of paint of the same color to the entire surface, then use a cotton swab or finger to draw what you have in mind.



Or put colorful blots in random order and draw your own scribbles. After that all that remains is to spray "blank" water and place a sheet of paper on top.


And with great interest Let's see what we can come up with.


Now let's dream up a little.

That we see frozen waterfalls, snow seems to be everywhere frost scattered the crystal.

After imagining a little, we get this interesting drawing.


And here is another drawing of ours.


Thank you for your attention!

Monotype - amazing genre, which essentially occupies a middle position between painting and graphics, between art and psychology. Monotype is a way of freedom of expression, it is a projection inner world. Translated from Greek language monotype - one print. The design is first applied to a flat and smooth surface, and then it is printed on another surface; in our work, the monotype will be multi-layered.
Finger palette- is one of the types of monotype, dip your palm or finger in paint and leave an imprint on the paper. We not only see the paint, but also feel it!
Drawing card- is also a type of monotype, where a drawing is created using various prints created by cards different forms and sizes.

Hello, dear guests! Our Motherland, Russia, is rich in water resources. This and the stocks are clean fresh water, and vast salty seas and lakes with amazing story and beauty. Today we turn our attention to Lake Baikal. This lake is fraught with a lot of unknown things, which attracts many people to it. Having arrived once, you will be captivated by these places forever. Baikal is the largest freshwater lake. It is located in Eastern Siberia on the territory of Buryatia and Irkutsk region. Baikal is the most deep lake planets. Its maximum depth is 1640 meters. The area of ​​this lake is more than 315,000 sq. km., it is the main reservoir of fresh water in Russia (90% of the total reserves). The origin of Lake Baikal is still a matter of scientific debate. Scientists traditionally estimate the age of the lake at 25-35 million years. This fact also makes Baikal unique natural object, since most lakes, especially those of glacial origin, live on average 10-15 thousand years, and then fill with silty sediments and become swampy.


Baikal... Breadwinner, protector, formidable ruler and stern master, possessing incredible mystical and spiritual power. The enormous power of unimaginable volumes of water in itself has a strong emotional impact, and therefore it is not surprising that the lake, which at all times local residents called “the sea” became not just a character and setting for legends, but also an object of spiritual practices of many religions - from paganism to Christianity.
The only river flowing from Lake Baikal is the Angara. More than half of the Angara's drainage area is Lake Baikal. Every year the river takes more than 60 cubic meters from Baikal. km of water.
The indigenous people say: “Baikal is the father and its daughter is the Angara.” And it’s true, it’s impossible to imagine this mighty northern giant without his faithful companion – Angara. The age of the Angara is incomparably less than the mighty Baikal, presumably only 50 thousand years. One of the legends of the lake says that Baikal had only daughter- Hangar. She fell in love with Yenisei and decided to run away to him. Baikal, having learned about this, tried to block her path by throwing the Shaman-stone to the source, but Angara ran further, then Baikal sent his nephew Irkut in pursuit of her, but he took pity on Angara and turned off the path. The Angara met the Yenisei and flowed further along with it.
Baikal! Fleeing to the taiga to the north
Through the Siberian night lights.
On the Angara and Yenisei -
They are reflections of Lake Baikal!
Not a deaf dream, not a wild stone,
Not the memory of troubles, - another reality -
Affairs of the great industry -
Today is your day, Siberia.
But these royal waters,
But the mountains are in the gray twilight, -
Baikal - priceless gift nature
May he be eternal on earth.

(Alexander Tvardovsky, 1959)


The waters of this beautiful lake clean and fresh. For now we have something to be proud of. The water in the lake is so clear that individual stones and various items are visible at a depth of 40 m. At this time, Baikal water can be of blue color. In summer and autumn, when a mass of plant and animal organisms develop in sun-warmed water, its transparency decreases to 8-10 m, and the color becomes blue-green and green.
This lake has many faces and diversity as it is huge and has rich flora and fauna. Exists scientific direction The study of lakes is called limnology. In the Irkutsk Academic Town there is a Limnological Institute that studies Lake Baikal. Independent people are also studying Baikal scientific organizations, such as the Baikal Research Center (ANO). Baikal is a World Natural Heritage territory. According to the Limnological Institute of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Baikal is home to 2,630 species and varieties of plants and animals, 2/3 of which are endemic, that is, they live only in this reservoir This abundance of living organisms is explained by the high oxygen content in the entire thickness of Baikal water.


Baikal ice presents scientists with many mysteries. Thus, in the 1930s, specialists from the Baikal limnological station discovered unusual shapes ice cover, characteristic only of Lake Baikal. For example, “hills” are cone-shaped ice hills up to 6 m high, hollow inside. Appearance they resemble ice tents, “open” in the direction opposite to the shore. The hills can be located separately, and sometimes form miniature “mountain ranges”.
In 1996, Lake Baikal was absolutely deservedly included in the list of UNESCO World Natural Heritage Sites. Somewhat later, in 1999, the Baikal Day festival was created, which very quickly grew from a regional event and received global recognition. Today the Baikal Festival takes place on the second Sunday of September. However, long before this date, the organizers organize numerous competitions in various areas of creativity, the results of which will be presented at the festival. Film festivals, competitions visual arts and handicrafts, theatrical performances, nature seminars and many other events add up to the unique appearance of the festival.


Materials and tools:
-sheet of A3 paper
-watercolor and gouache
-simple pencil, brushes
-plastic card (I use thin plastic boards for modeling, they need to be cut into small cards with scissors)
-water jar
-cloth for brushes
-palette (sheet of paper)

Progress of the master class:

We begin work by preparing a sheet of paper for work, since the main part of the drawing will consist of prints, we need to bend the sheet in half horizontally and smooth the fold line well. Then, using a simple pencil, you need to draw the lines of the future terrain.


And we start working with watercolors, painting the water space of the picture blue.


Then we fold the sheet in half to create an imprint; you need to smooth the sheet well with your palm so that the imprint is best quality. We got silhouettes of mountains with their reflection in the lake, and blue sky.


At the top of the mountain range you need to draw a strip of darkening forest. We will work with a palette to obtain gray color (mix white and black paint), and apply the resulting color to the top of the hill.


Then we make a print.


Next we draw the forest strip on neighboring peak, and partially paint over the surface of the earth gray. The white places in the picture are still unmelted snow, and again an imprint.




In a similar way, we draw the surface of the earth on another peak and make an imprint.


We will no longer work with prints; now we need to complement our landscape with picturesque details. Using green gouache, paint over foreground work, apply gouache in a thick layer.


Then, using a card, we create the relief of the grass, as if we were scraping the card over the painted surface.


Using a thin brush we draw the tops of the trees on the mountain hills.



We add clouds to the landscape, make their contours clearer (gouache), and add blue strokes (watercolor) to the surface of the lake.
