Drawing with children “21 ways to draw using non-traditional techniques. Unusual drawing technique: description, technology and recommendations What is an unconventional drawing technique

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 imprinted on the other half. Then let your child imagine what the blot looks like and ask him to complete the necessary elements.

DRAWING ON A WET SURFACE

Moisten a piece of paper with water and leave it 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 stains with sagging.

BUNCH OF PENCILS

Carefully gather 5-6 colored pencils into a bunch, tie them with adhesive tape and let your child 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 paint of a different color into each glass. 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, brush along the outline of the drawing with a wet brush, and then sprinkle generously with salt. After 10 minutes, shake off the salt and add the missing elements. Using salt you can beautifully draw butterflies, birds, and 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 over the wax and let it 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.

DRAWING WITH PRINTS

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.

Alekseenko Galina Mikhailovna

I organize work in this area with children through joint and direct educational activities. The use of non-traditional techniques allows children to feel unforgettable positive emotions, develops imagination, and encourages creative activity.

I offer several types of non-traditional drawing.

Wax crayons + watercolor

Means of expression: color, line, spot, texture.

Materials: wax crayons, thick white paper, watercolors, brushes.

A child draws with wax crayons on white paper. Then he paints the sheet with watercolors in one or more colors. The chalk drawing remains unpainted.

Leaf prints

Means of expression: texture, color.

Materials: paper, gouache, leaves of various trees (preferably fallen ones), brushes.

Image acquisition method: The child covers a piece of wood with paints of different colors, then places it with the painted side on the paper to make a print. Each time a new leaf is taken. The petioles of the leaves can be painted on with a brush.

Black and white scratch paper (primed sheet)

Means of expression: line, stroke, contrast.

Materials: half-cardboard or thick white paper, a candle, a wide brush, black mascara, liquid soap (about one drop per tablespoon of mascara) or tooth powder, bowls for mascara, a stick with sharpened ends.

Image acquisition method: the child rubs the sheet with a candle so that it is completely covered with a layer of wax. Then mascara with liquid soap or tooth powder is applied to it, in this case it is filled with mascara without additives. After drying, the design is scratched with a stick.

Colored scratch paper.

Blotography with a tube.

Means of expression: spot.

Materials: paper, ink or thinly diluted gouache in a bowl, plastic spoon, straw (drink straw).

Image acquisition method: The child scoops up paint with a plastic spoon and pours it onto the sheet, making a small spot (droplet). Then blow on this stain from a tube so that its end does not touch either the stain or the paper. If necessary, the procedure is repeated. The missing details are completed.

Drawing with soap bubbles.

Means of expression: spot

Materials: paper, liquid soap, Gouache, tube.

Method of obtaining: drop gouache into liquid soap and start blowing with a tube until a “cap” of soap bubbles appears, then cover with a sheet. Bubbles are imprinted on the sheet. The missing details are completed.

Painting with salt.

Materials: glue, salt, paints, brushes.

Method of obtaining:

Apply the design with glue, and then sprinkle salt on the glue. After a minute, shake off the excess salt and begin to paint pointwise with a brush, the paint spreads across the design.

Spraying, painting with a toothbrush.

Means of expression: point, texture.

Materials: paper, gouache, hard brush, piece of thick cardboard or plastic (55 cm).

Image acquisition method: Sprinkling drops using a toothbrush and stacks. Let's put paint on the toothbrush and quickly move it along the surface of the brush, towards us

Drawing "Poke"

Materials: hard brush, gouache, sheets.

Method of obtaining: the child puts paint on a brush and hits the brush on the cardboard.

Palm drawing.

Materials: gouache, sheets.

Method of obtaining: the child applies gouache to his palm with a brush or dips his palm into a bowl of paint and transfers his palm to the sheet.

and also with your fingers.

Frottage

Materials: Wax crayons, sheets.

Method of obtaining: We place a landscape stencil under the sheet and paint the sheet with wax crayon using up and down movements.

Plasticineography.

Materials: plasticine, thick cardboard.

Method of obtaining: We lay plasticine flagella over the drawing, then with finger pressure we stretch the plasticine over the entire drawing.

Title: Unconventional drawing using the “Griffinage” technique

Composition “Secrets of the Ocean”

The master class is designed for everyone who loves to imagine and create, who is not afraid to experiment and try their hand at something new and unusual.

Target: create a unique composition “Secrets of the Ocean” using the non-traditional drawing technique “Grifonage”.

Tasks:

1. Expanding your horizons by gaining theoretical knowledge about a new drawing technique.

2. Acquaintance with the technique of performing griffonage drawings.

3. Development of mental qualities: attention, perception, imagination.

4. Increasing self-esteem, confidence in one’s abilities and strengths.

5. Creating a positive attitude towards creative activity, the ability to receive pleasure from one’s creativity.

4. Development of aesthetic taste, the ability to see and appreciate the beauty of the surrounding world, to convey this beauty in creative work.

5. Nurturing strong-willed personality traits: perseverance, composure, diligence, accuracy.

Purpose of the composition: the composition can be used to decorate the interior, design themed stands and corners, as an original gift.

Introduction:

Can you draw?

Absolutely - yes. It is safe to say that everyone who views this MK is a magnificent artist.

Don't believe me?

Then I'm ready to prove it to you. The non-traditional drawing technique “Grifonage” will help me with this.

Grifonage translated from French means - maranje, scribble, from (griffonner - write with scribbles, draw in a hurry), therefore the second name for this drawing technique is “Doodle”.

Many writers and scientists made quick sketches of an improvisational nature using the “Griffinage” technique in the drafts of their great creations.

Modern artists and designers create original paintings and sculptures using the Grifonage technique.

Grifonage- this is not only an unusual way of drawing, it is also an inviting mystery, an amazing riddle, an amazing intrigue. When starting to make a drawing, it is impossible to say exactly what the result will be; everything depends on the randomly drawn lines and on the imagination of the person drawing.

Where can you “go” with this drawing technique to create something bizarre, amazing, hitherto unprecedented and unknown?

That's right, you can travel to the vast expanses of the universe, plunge into the mysterious depths of the ocean, find yourself in the wild jungle or find yourself in the fairy-tale world of books.

Along with this master class, I invite you to go on an underwater journey. As a result, you will create a unique artistic composition on the theme “Secrets of the Ocean.”

Tips for preparing for the “trip”:

1. Remember what you know about the ocean and its inhabitants. Find more information about this on the Internet, look at illustrations and photographs, watch a feature film or documentary.

2. Train your imagination:

· If possible, then look at the clouds, try to guess the figures of different animals, birds, fish in them.

· You can look for different shapes in the patterns on the carpet or wallpaper.

3. Prepare music that will help create the mood appropriate for the “journey”.

4. Prepare the necessary materials and tools: 1 whole landscape sheet, 1 landscape sheet cut in half, watercolor paints, paint brushes of different thicknesses, a piece of sponge, a simple pencil, felt-tip pens, scissors, a glue stick or PVA glue.

Let's get to work

On half of the album sheet, use a simple pencil to scribble something. To do this, first draw a long line in any direction, and then “circle” freely around the paper, drawing loops and bends, intersecting the already drawn lines with new ones. At the same time, try not to lift the pencil from the paper. When you feel there are enough lines, stop. You've got a doodle.

Look carefully at the resulting scribbles. “Turn on” your imagination and look among the lines for sea animals, birds, and fish. If you can't do this and you don't see any images, turn over the sheet of paper and continue your search. On one sheet of paper you can find only one figure, or you can find several objects at once. To ensure that the images you find do not get lost among the lines, highlight them with a felt-tip pen.

I managed to spot a dolphin, a flounder, and a fish with a large tail.

Use watercolor paints to paint the figures of sea creatures.

Using a thin brush, add details: eyes, fins, scales, etc.

Think about what elements, besides fish, you will include in your future composition. Look for these elements among the remaining lines. If you find them, circle them with a felt-tip pen.

I found underwater pebbles.

Color new elements of the composition.

Take the second half of the album sheet. Draw some doodles.

Children and creativity are inseparable concepts. Every child is an artist and sculptor, singer and musician at heart. Creative impulses in children manifest themselves in the most unimaginable form, but are very often associated with artistic activity. Many mothers sooner or later wonder why a child should learn to draw? And really, why, if you don’t plan to raise another Surikov or Aivazovsky? If your goal is to see your child as a successful, self-confident person, then encourage creative expressions, because any visual work is an important condition for the normal development of the child.

Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten and at home help develop spatial thinking, eye, and coordination. After all, the baby needs to connect the ratio of the sizes of the parts into a single composition and arrange them harmoniously on the sheet. When working on a complex decorative composition, the child learns to plan his actions and choose the appropriate material. It is very important for him to understand that he can create something with his own hands.

Everyone knows that drawing is one of our children’s favorite activities. With great pleasure they draw with colored pencils, felt-tip pens, paints, dipping a brush into a bright substance. Why not dip your finger there or smear paint all over your palm? Fine art cannot have boundaries; it is necessary to destroy all boundaries of the familiar and traditional!

Unconventional drawing techniques attract our fidgets much more, because they do not require perseverance, allow them to more clearly reveal their potential during creativity, and introduce the child to the opportunity to unusually use the things around us as materials for creativity. If the most unusual colors and bright pencils no longer arouse the child’s former interest, then you can dilute your fidget’s creativity with other drawing methods. Why is drawing in unconventional ways useful in kindergarten and at home?

• The baby uses a variety of materials, recognizes differences in textures, which allows him to improve fine motor skills.
• There is an acquaintance with volume, shape and space, which develops imagination.
• The ability to combine and mix shades develops aesthetic taste.
• The use of unusual materials develops thinking and teaches one to make non-standard decisions.
• Drawings using such techniques come out much faster, which pleases the little ones who lack perseverance.
• It adds self-confidence and faith in your abilities, because even without outstanding skills you can create a unique “masterpiece”!

All the most interesting techniques and methods were collected and systematized by G.N. Davydov in the book “Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten.” This book is an excellent assistant both for the teacher and for the mother who wants to diversify her leisure time with her baby.

Let's start creating: fingers or palms

Non-traditional drawing techniques involve depicting images using various materials, including “non-artistic” ones: crumpled paper, foam rubber, threads, paraffin candle or wax crayons, dried leaves; drawing without using a tool - with your palms or fingers and much more. Such methods are successfully used both in kindergarten and at home.

For different ages, you can offer your own technique, for example, the little ones will find it interesting to paint with their fingers, because it is still difficult for a baby to hold a brush, but the baby already has excellent control of his own hands. Dip your little one's palm into the paint and ask her to leave a mark on the paper, just as cats and dogs leave marks. Look at the print with your baby, who does it look like? It looks like an elephant or a turtle, and if we add an eye, there will be a fish! The whole action is guided only by your baby’s imagination, and if suddenly he is confused, then help him, conduct a master class - paint your palm and leave a print. “Look, the mother turned out to be an elephant, but where is the baby elephant?” - the child will be happy to join in such a funny game.

You can dip your entire palm in the paint, but only your fingers, and leave tiny prints. The more multi-colored prints, the more interesting the drawing - let the child fantasize for his own pleasure. Adults should be prepared for the fact that the paint will be not only on the piece of paper, but also on the baby, or rather, the baby will be covered in it and the surrounding objects too. Therefore, take care of cleanliness in advance: cover the table where you plan to set up a creative workshop with oilcloth, and put on an apron and sleeves on your baby, otherwise, what kind of flight of fancy can we talk about if you constantly tell your baby: “Be careful, you’ll get dirty!”

Let's continue to fantasize. Stamps, impressions

Children of all ages like to use stamps when drawing. This unique technique of non-traditional drawing in kindergarten is so easy to perform and diverse in manifestation that it is perfect for work both in kindergarten and at home. Ready-made stamps can be purchased at an art supply store. But it’s much more interesting to make a stamp yourself, or even better with your baby.

Almost anything that can be dipped in paint and then left an imprint on a piece of paper will work as a stamp. You can cut an apple or a potato - this is the simplest stamp. You can cut out some kind of shape on half a potato: a heart or a flower. Another stamp is made from ordinary threads, wound around any base. You don’t have to wind the threads, but simply immerse them in paint. After thorough impregnation, they are laid out on one sheet, covered with another, pressed lightly, and the intricate pattern is admired.

It is easy to make a stamp from ordinary plasticine. Come up with an interesting shape and decorate a small piece of plasticine. It is better to choose thick paint for classic stamps. You can give the background an unusual texture by using a crumpled napkin or paper, and then follow the proven scheme: dip it in paint and stamp it. Very beautiful stamps are made from dried leaves: paint the leaf on one side, place it on paper and press. After the painted leaf was removed, the picture “Golden Autumn” was created – the baby was absolutely delighted.

There is another unconventional drawing technique, similar to a stamp, but with an interesting feature - drawing with foam rubber. Cut a small piece from an ordinary sponge, dip it in paint and cover the sheet with gentle pressure. This is how you easily and simply get a wonderful background for further drawing, and if you use stencils or templates for children’s drawing, you will get an amazing floral or geometric pattern.

Drawing with dots

Drawing with dots can be distinguished as a method of visual creativity for children. This simple technique is understandable even to the little one. You will need paints and cotton swabs or regular markers. We dip the stick in the paint, and with gentle pressure we draw a dot on a sheet of paper, then another one - until the invented image appears on the album sheet. You can help your child by drawing the outline of the future drawing, and he will fill it with a large number of bright prints. The theme of the dotted pattern can be anything – a winter fairy tale or bright sunshine. Education at such a tender age should be carried out unobtrusively, in the form of a game.

Monotype technique

For older children, you can offer more interesting types of artistic creativity. For example, an interesting technique, which is also based on prints, is “Monotype”. Its goal is to create a symmetrical drawing, such as a mushroom, an insect (butterfly or ladybug); for the senior preschool group, you can depict a landscape reflected in a lake.

We take a landscape sheet of paper, bend it in half, then unfold it and draw on one half relative to the fold line. Since we have agreed to depict a butterfly, we draw one wing, then stroke the folded sheet with our hand. Let's open it - the butterfly already has two wings and they are exactly the same! The missing elements can be completed with a brush.

A feeling of delight is guaranteed, while the child understands that his “hooligan” actions, when blots and splashes fly onto the album sheet, are also a form of art. “Blotography” also has the name “Spraying”. Using these techniques you can achieve unusual artistic effects.

Splashing paint, also known as "Spraying". A toothbrush will come to our aid. Gently dip it into the paint and lightly tap it towards you with a pen or pencil. A huge number of small droplets remain on the sheet. Using this unconventional painting technique, you can create a very realistic winter landscape or deep space with many stars. “Blotography” will help the young artist populate the uninhabited planets of space with funny aliens. All you have to do is put more paint on the brush and let it drip onto a sheet of paper, and you get a blot. And now we blow on it, dispersing the rays in different directions. Let's add a pair of eyes to the dried blot, or maybe two pairs, this is an unknown animal, and send it to populate distant worlds!

An interesting texture can be achieved by using a dry brush. Lightly dip a dry wide brush into the gouache and wipe off the excess paint on the jar. We draw with vertical poking movements. The image turns out “shaggy” and “prickly”, in this way Christmas trees and hedgehogs, a field with green grass turn out to be very realistic. In this non-traditional way, you can draw flowers, such as asters, in kindergarten.

Incredible possibilities of ordinary things.

1. Bubble.

It turns out that you can not only blow and burst soap bubbles, but you can also draw with them. Dilute a little paint in a glass of soapy water, take a tube and blow bubbles into the glass. Your kids will enjoy doing this trick. Well, there is a lot of bright multi-colored foam, apply a sheet of paper to it, and as soon as bubbles begin to appear, the paper needs to be removed - the colorful pattern is ready!

1. Salt.

Don't be surprised, but salt can be used for more than just cooking. An interesting texture will be obtained if you sprinkle the undried drawing with salt, and when the paint dries, just chicken out.

1. Sand, beads and various grains are also used to create creative textures. There are several options for using such materials.

• Sprinkle the pre-glued sheet with cereal, sand or beads, and then draw on the textured surface.
• We cover the areas where the design will be depicted with glue.
• Paint and dry the necessary materials in advance, and then decorate the drawing with them.

Classics in an unconventional interpretation

Let's put away the stamps and salt, wipe off our paint-stained pens, and get out the watercolors and brushes. Boring? It’s not boring at all, but very interesting, because with the help of classic watercolor paints we will create miracles!

You need to take thick paper (the best option is special watercolor paper) and wet it until it is sufficiently wet. Put a little paint on the brush and lightly touch the brush to the wet paper. The movements should be light and smooth, the beauty of the result depends on this. Before your eyes, a drop of paint spreads in different directions, turning into something amazing! It's a good time to tell your child about the rules for getting new colors and shades. Now this practice is most obvious. The resulting unimaginable divorces will serve as an interesting backdrop for future creative works.

The next unconventional drawing technique that we will consider, also from the category of “miracles nearby”, is called “Aquatype”.

This is a technique of painting with paints and water, also known as water printing. Just as in the previous method, we will need thick paper, we will choose no less traditional paints - gouache, we also need black or any dark ink. Think with your child, what would he like to portray? This method produces unusually beautiful flowers. After the paints have dried, paint over the entire sheet of paper with ink, then immerse your work in a bowl of water and enjoy the wonderful transformations! The gouache will all dissolve, leaving only your drawing on a dark background. Why isn't it magic?

The series of incredible transformations is not over! Let's take the same thick paper and use wax crayons (if you don't have them at hand, you can use an ordinary candle) apply a drawing or pattern. Next, apply watercolor paint to the entire sheet (the areas treated with wax will not be painted). A drawing will appear on a colored watercolor background, which will be a surprise for the baby, because when you draw with colorless chalk on a white sheet, it is quite difficult to imagine the end result. The process of magic can also ultimately bring quite a practical result.

Making “marble paper” is an extremely exciting activity that kids really like: it’s fun to play with things that are not allowed to be taken at all. For example, dad's shaving foam. To work you will need:

• shaving foam;
• watercolor paints;
• flat plate;
• sheet of thick paper.

First you need to get a saturated solution: mix the paint with water. Then apply a thick layer of shaving foam to the plate, and add a few bright drops of paint in a chaotic manner. Using a brush, we paint drops of paint on the foam, creating intricate zigzags and patterns. Here it is - a magical mystery that will completely absorb an enthusiastic child. And here is the promised practical effect. We apply the sheet to the rainbow foam, and then turn it over so that the foam is on top of the sheet. We remove the remaining foam on the paper with a scraper. And - lo and behold! Unimaginable stains appear from under the foam, similar to a marble pattern. The paper has absorbed the paint. After drying, “marble paper” can be used in making crafts or as an addition to decoration.

There is no limit to creativity

For children who have already become acquainted with many interesting techniques and have shown their extraordinary creative abilities, we can offer a rather difficult drawing technique - “scratching”.

You need thick paper, you need to color it with wax crayons, preferably bright colors, then cover it with black gouache or ink using a wide brush. If you intend to use gouache, add a little PVA glue so that the dried paint does not crumble. When the ink (or gouache) has dried, the workpiece is ready for further work. Now we take a thin stack (any sharp, non-writing instrument) and start drawing. But this process can only be called painting conditionally, since the top layer of paint is scraped off. Thus, stroke by stroke, a bright wax layer is revealed and projected into the artist’s idea.

Young artists will enjoy the technique of drawing on glass using plasticine.

Choose the design you like, cover it with glass, and use a black felt-tip pen to draw the outlines of the design onto the glass. Then we proceed to fill the contours with soft plasticine, trying not to protrude beyond the edge. The reverse side does not look so neat, but the front side shows a bright and clear picture. Place your work in a frame, and you can use colored cardboard as a background.

There are also a number of non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten that children of the middle and senior preschool groups can easily master. For everyday activities, a combination of applique with a classic pattern may be suitable. Pre-cut elements are glued onto a landscape sheet, after which the image is given a finished look using pencils or paints.

One of the accessible and entertaining techniques is “Frontage”.

This type of fine art has been familiar to us since childhood; remember, they hid a coin under a sheet of paper and shaded it with a simple pencil? In the same way, instead of a coin, you can use dry leaves, and shade not with a pencil, but with colored pastels. The drawing will turn out bright and rich.

We have become acquainted with a large number of drawing techniques and have already learned a lot, so why not put our knowledge into practice? Using both traditional and non-traditional painting techniques, any interior items are decorated. Decorative drawing in kindergarten also has an applied nature; a child can already decorate, for example, a pencil stand or a clay vase, or he can please his mother and create a unique pattern on a cutting board. Just remember that for such work you need to choose waterproof paints: acrylic or oil. To make the result last longer, coat the finished craft with varnish.

For interior decoration, the stained glass technique is used.

The essence of the technique is to apply an adhesive contour and fill it with paint. There are many options for performing this technique, but one of the most interesting is to apply a pattern to oilcloth, and after drying, the pattern can be removed from the oilcloth and glued to any surface, for example, glass - there will be a translucent bright picture.

Let's take a closer look at the technique itself.

The ideal option would be to use specialized stained glass paints, but if you don’t have any, you can be smart and make them yourself. Take ordinary gouache and add PVA glue; after drying, the paints have an elastic structure, which will allow you to remove the picture from the film without difficulty. Choose the design you like and draw its outline onto a transparent oilcloth (you can take a regular file or a transparent plastic folder). It is better to make the outline first with a pencil or felt-tip pen, and then outline it either with a ready-made stained glass outline, or with ordinary PVA glue from a tube with a dispenser. Wait for the outline to dry, then fill in with bright colors. After complete drying, you can peel the design from the film and decorate the intended surface.

You can decorate not only interior items, but also wardrobe items with special fabric paints. This technique is called “Cold Batik”. Invite your child to make a designer painting of an ordinary white T-shirt, only your child will have one, one and only!

• The T-shirt must first be fixed in an embroidery hoop or in a stretcher for painting on canvas.
• Using a pencil and tracing paper, transfer the image of your favorite cartoon character onto fabric.

One of the most important stages of this method is the application of a reserve composition, in other words, a protective contour that will prevent the paint from spreading over the fabric. The contour must be closed to prevent spreading.

• After drying, according to the scheme known to us, we fill the contours with paint.
• Then the drawing must be fixed. Place one sheet of paper under the design and the other on the design and iron it.

This product can be washed, but it is better to wash it by hand in cool water. The unique product is ready.

Conclusion

All considered non-traditional drawing techniques are applicable only indoors. What about walks in the fresh air in summer? Are only outdoor games suitable for outdoor activities? No, you can do fine art. Drawing in summer in kindergarten can also be done outside, using classic chalk. Drawing on asphalt in kindergarten is a wonderful entertaining and educational activity. Children draw with crayons wherever there is a more or less hard surface: asphalt, tiles, fences, walls of the house. It’s wonderful to see a bright embodiment of fantasy instead of gray asphalt.

You can paint not only with ordinary paints and brushes. There are many unusual and exciting ways to draw that your children will enjoy and instill in them a love of creativity.

Hand and foot prints

You can draw not only with your fingers, but also with your palms and even your legs. Such interesting works can be made from hand and foot prints, if you apply a little imagination.

Drawing with ice cubes

You will need:
- Thick paper
- Tempera (or watercolor)
- Form for ice
- Toothpicks
How to draw:
Pour water into the mold and place it in the freezer. When the water is half frozen, insert a toothpick into each cube and let the water freeze completely. After this, take out the ice. You will use the cubes as brushes, holding them by the toothpicks.
Apply several spots of different paints to the paper (either dry tempera or crushed watercolors) and paint over them using ice! For example, with the same cube you can cross all the spots of paint, allowing them to shimmer in a fantastic way.

Drawing with milk

You will need:
- A quarter glass of condensed milk
- Food paints
How to draw:
Mix condensed milk with paints, pour into separate containers (jars or molds) by color. The resulting paints must be applied in a thin layer, because they take a long time to dry.

Shaving foam drawing

You will need:
- Shaving foam
- Food paints
- Aluminium foil
How to draw:
Tear off a long sheet of foil and apply a few "heaps" of shaving foam to it. Let your child choose paint colors and mix them with foam. The paints are ready, now you can paint with brushes or fingers. The main thing is to explain to children that foam should not be put in their mouth. After the design dries, the foam will create an interesting texture. After drawing, the foam is easily washed off from the skin and any household surfaces.

Drawing with a toothbrush

You will need:
- Old toothbrush
- Dye
- Paper
How to draw:
It's very simple: a toothbrush serves as a brush. You can draw a face on gray paper with a pencil and “brush” its teeth with a toothbrush and white paint. And then paint the face.

Drawing with beads

Cut out a piece of construction paper and place it in the bottom of a pie pan, tray, or similar. Apply a few drops of paint to the cardboard and then, while the paint is wet, place some glass beads on top and roll them around - and see what happens!

Drawing with soap bubbles

Mix some watercolor into the soapy bubble solution. Place drawing paper on the floor and ask your child to blow bubbles - they will land on the paper and create fancy patterns.

Blowing with a straw

Dilute some paint and pour a small amount onto the paper, give the child a straw and let them blow out any design (just make sure the child blows on the paint rather than sucking it up).

Another way to draw with soap bubbles: bubble up more foam in a glass with a colored soap-foaming solution and place paper on top of it.

Frosty patterns on glass - we make and draw our own window, photo, description

If the frost hasn’t reached your windows, then let’s make our own window with a frosty pattern. It will turn out no worse than the real thing.
Required materials: blue and white gouache, wide brush, cocktail straw, glossy silver cardboard, simple pencil, glitter for decoration, 1.5 cm wide masking tape.
How we do it:
1.Draw a window on cardboard and stick masking tape along the outline.
2. Paint the surface of the cardboard with blue gouache. There is a point here: gouache cannot be diluted with water, otherwise too liquid paint will flow under the tape and the contours of the window will become unclear.

3. Once the blue paint has dried, dilute the white gouache with water, take a straw and blow out frosty patterns.

4.After the frosty patterns have dried well, carefully remove the tape. You should end up with a window with frosty patterns on the glass.

5. Decorate the picture with sparkles.

Mirror drawing

Fold a piece of paper in half, draw a simple shape on one half - or maybe just splatter a little paint. Then straighten the sheet and place the second half on top of the painted one. Let the paint imprint and straighten it again, and then study the resulting mirror pattern together.

Cut out a large piece of cardboard and place it on a table or floor. Place a piece of drawing paper on top. The cardboard will protect surrounding surfaces from splashes. Then dilute the watercolor paints well, take a hard brush or toothbrush and splatter the paint on the paper. Show your child that you can make beautiful splashes by running the bristles over a hard piece of paper or a wooden stick.

In the same way, you can make drawings using a stencil.

Place a stencil on colored paper. These can be various flowers, silhouettes of houses, trees. Dilute the paint thinly in a yogurt jar. Dip a toothbrush into the paint and run a ruler along the bristles of the brush towards you, splashing paint around the silhouette. Try to ensure that the entire background is covered with specks. Remove the stencil and add details to the “unstained” part of the drawing. You can also use tree leaves as stencils.

Take an unnecessary spray bottle and fill it with water and paint - and go paint. To do this, it will be more convenient to take a large sheet of paper or even a piece of old wallpaper. It's best to paint this way outdoors.

Blotography

It consists of teaching children how to make blots (black and multi-colored). Then a 3-year-old child can look at them and see images, objects or individual details.

You will need gouache, a thick brush and paper (preferably 1/2 or 1/4 sheet).
Fold a piece of paper in half and unfold it again. On one half, ask your child to put a few bold blots, strokes or curls. Now fold the sheet in half again and press firmly with your palm. Carefully unfold the sheet. You will see a bizarre pattern: “What does your or my blot look like?”, “Who or what does it remind you of?” - these questions are very useful, because... develop thinking and imagination. After this, without forcing the child, but by showing him, we recommend moving on to the next stage - tracing or finishing the blots. The result can be a whole plot.

Bitmap

Children like everything unconventional. Drawing with dots is an unusual technique in this case. To implement this, you can take a felt-tip pen, a pencil or an ordinary ear cleaning stick. But the best thing to do is dotted drawings with paints.

You will need a separate stick for each color. Using this technique, lilac or mimosa flowers are produced beautifully. Draw branch lines with a felt-tip pen. And make clusters of flowers with chopsticks. But this is already aerobatics! Drawing simpler things - flowers and berries (the stems can be drawn with a felt-tip pen) will bring no less pleasure to your child. Or you can cut out a dress (scarf, tablecloth, mittens) from paper and decorate it with an ornament of dots.

For some reason, we all tend to think that if we paint with paints, we must also use a brush. Not always. Foam rubber can come to the rescue. We advise you to make a variety of small geometric figures out of it, and then attach them with thin wire to a stick or pencil (not sharpened). The tool is already ready. It turns out to be a large brush without hairs. The stick is held strictly perpendicular to the surface of the sheet, without tilting. Now you can dip it in paint and use stamps to draw red triangles, yellow circles, green squares (all foam rubber, unlike cotton wool, washes well). At first, children will draw geometric shapes chaotically. And then offer to make simple ornaments out of them - first from one type of figure, then from two, three.
The mark left by such a “brush” can imitate animal fur, tree crowns, or snow. A stick with foam rubber is dipped in paint (the main thing is that there is not a large amount of water), and the baby begins to cover the sheet with traces of it. Let him first simply understand that with the help of a “magic wand” you can quickly and easily draw marks. Then draw tree branches or a bush with a black felt-tip pen, and let the child finish painting the foliage with green, yellow, red or orange paint. Draw a simple outline of a bunny or fox with a pencil, let the baby “trample” it with his “magic tool” - the bunny and fox will turn out fluffy, their fur will seem so disheveled that the baby will certainly want to touch it.

It is extremely interesting to work in this technique with a stencil.
Cut out an image in the middle of a thick sheet of cardboard, such as the head of a tiger cub or a bear. Attach the cardboard with the cut out stencil to the landscape sheet and invite the child to “trample” the part of the landscape sheet that is visible through the hole in the stencil. After the child does this, let the work dry, then draw eyes, mouth, mustache, and stripes with a brush.

Negative
Glue a sheet of white paper and a sheet of black paper together so that you end up with a large sheet, one half of which is black and the other half is white. Give the child black and white gouache and offer to draw the same simple drawing, first with white paint on black, then with black paint on white.

Collect several leaves and place them on a piece of paper. Prepare well-diluted watercolors and a sponge. Dip the sponge into the paint and place it on top of the leaf so that the area around it is painted. Then carefully remove the leaf.

Such a simple type of artistic creativity as unconventional painting with leaf prints is great for little artists for whom a brush is still a difficult tool. It turns out that a seemingly ordinary leaf (maple, poplar, oak or birch) can turn into a tool for artistic creativity no worse than a brush.

What do we need?
Paper
Leaves of different trees (preferably fallen);
Gouache
Brushes.
Progress:
The child covers a piece of wood with paints of different colors, then places it on the paper with the painted side to make a print. Each time a new sheet is taken. The resulting drawing is completed with paints as desired. This is how it works:

Painting using passe-partout technique

On a sheet of paper, draw an apple, a fish or a car in the center of the sheet. Now you need to cut out the contour of the object that you drew. It turned out to be a passe-partout. In pictures you can only cut out part of the image. The fish has a part of the body, a tail, and fins. Give your child a piece of paper. Let the baby smear the paint, slap the sheet with his palms and leave marks. Glue the passe-partout onto a sheet of paper painted with crumbs. The kid will be very surprised and happy when he sees a multi-colored bright fish (a car or a girl).

"Figured" figurine

A very interesting way to draw with a pencil, felt-tip pen, or ballpoint pen using pre-made stencils. Stencils can be of two types - some are cut inside the sheet, others are made from the sheet and separated from it. It is easier for young children to trace the figures embossed inside the sheet. Many squares and rulers have such patterns. Having attached them to a landscape sheet, you ask your child to trace the shapes. Then you remove the stencil and, together with it, figure out how you can complete this or that shape. Children 4.5-5 years old will be able to trace single stencils cut out of cardboard. This is more difficult, because the hand does not hold well on the outside of the pattern and the baby draws extra lines. But you can interest children in the content of stencils: for boys - these are silhouettes of cars and airplanes, for girls - animals, nesting dolls, bows and houses. Having traced the patterns, children can paint over their images with felt-tip pens and paints, and hatch them with various lines: straight, wavy, zigzag, with loops, wavy with sharp peaks. Stencils can help you create your own drawings; they will complement what the child himself has created.

You can start a game: the child circles various objects, and you guess what they are. Firstly, not all objects can be circled. By finding them, the baby will understand the difference between three-dimensional and flat objects or things that have at least one flat side and those that do not. Secondly, it is not easy to circle this or that object on your own, without the help of an adult. And thirdly, in this game the roles change: the baby puzzles the parents, and the adults try to find the answer. All this pleases the child, providing him with a surge of creative energy.

Mysterious thread drawings

Mysterious drawings can be obtained as follows. Take cardboard measuring approximately 20x20 cm and fold it in half. Then a semi-woolen or woolen thread about 30 cm long is selected, its end 8 - 10 cm is dipped in thick paint and clamped inside the cardboard. You should then move this thread inside the cardboard, and then take it out and open the cardboard. You can dye several threads in different colors at the same time. The result is a chaotic image, which is examined, outlined and completed by adults and children. It is extremely useful to give titles to the resulting images. This complex mental and verbal work, combined with visual work, will contribute to the intellectual development of preschool children.

You can draw with threads in other ways. Cut a woolen thread about 20 cm long, dip it in paint and give it to your baby. Let him move the thread along the sheet of paper as he pleases. Then do the same with another thread and new paint. Multi-colored lines, zigzags, and streaks will remain on the sheet. In short, a beautiful abstraction.

Drawing with crayons

Preschoolers love variety. These opportunities are provided to us by ordinary crayons, sanguine, and charcoal. Smooth asphalt, porcelain, ceramic tiles, stones - this is the base on which chalk and charcoal fit well. Thus, asphalt is conducive to a succinct depiction of subjects. They (if there is no rain) can be developed the next day. And then compose stories based on the plots. And on ceramic tiles (which are sometimes leftovers stored somewhere in the pantry), we recommend drawing patterns and small objects with crayons or charcoal. Large stones (such as boulders) are asked to be decorated with the image of an animal’s head or a tree stump. It depends on what or who the stone resembles in shape.

Magic drawing method

This method is implemented like this. Using the corner of a wax candle, an image is drawn on white paper (a Christmas tree, a house, or maybe a whole plot). Then, using a brush, or better yet, cotton wool or foam rubber, the paint is applied on top of the entire image. Due to the fact that the paint does not stick to the bold image like a candle, the drawing seems to suddenly appear before the children’s eyes, manifesting itself. You can get the same effect by first drawing with office glue or a piece of laundry soap. In this case, the selection of the background to the subject plays an important role. For example, it is better to paint a snowman drawn with a candle with blue paint, and a boat with green paint. There is no need to worry if candles or soap start to crumble while drawing. It depends on their quality.

.

Photocopy

Draw a picture with a candle on a white sheet. Paint over with black ink.

Painting small stones

Of course, most often the child draws large stone tiles on a plane, on paper, or less often on asphalt. A flat image of a house, trees, cars, animals on paper is not as attractive as creating three-dimensional creations of your own. In this regard, sea pebbles are ideally used. They are smooth, small and have different shapes. The very shape of the pebble will sometimes tell the child what image to create in this case (and sometimes adults will help the kids). It is better to paint one pebble as a frog, another as a bug, and the third will produce a wonderful fungus. Bright, thick paint is applied to the pebble - and the image is ready. It’s better to finish it like this: after the pebble has dried, cover it with colorless varnish. In this case, a voluminous beetle or frog made by children’s hands shines and shimmers brightly. This toy will take part in independent children's games more than once and bring considerable benefit to its owner.

Strange patterns

Take whatman paper and a small orange (tangerine) or ball, pour a little paint of different colors onto a sheet and roll the ball along the sheet in different directions. Then “revive” what was received.

Finger painting method

Here is another way to depict the world around us: with your fingers, palm, fist, feet, and maybe with your chin and nose. Not everyone will take such a statement seriously. Where is the line between pranks and drawing? Why should we draw only with a brush or felt-tip pen? After all, a hand or individual fingers are such a help. Moreover, the index finger of the right hand obeys the child better than a pencil. Well, what if the pencil breaks, the brush wears out, the markers run out - but you still want to draw. There is another reason: sometimes the theme simply asks for a child’s palm or finger. For example, a child will be better able to draw a tree with his hands than with other tools. With his finger he will draw out the trunk and branches, then (if it is autumn) he will apply yellow, green, orange paints to the inside of his hand and draw a crimson-mahogany tree on top. It’s also good to mix several colors and shades. For example, first apply yellow paint, and then brown or orange, it turns out fluffy!
It’s good if we teach children to use their fingers rationally: not just one index finger, but all of them.

Monotopy method

A few words about this, unfortunately, rarely used method. And in vain. Because it contains a lot of tempting things for preschoolers. In short, this is an image on cellophane, which is then transferred to paper. On smooth cellophane I paint with paint using a brush, or a match with cotton wool, or a finger (no need for uniformity). The paint should be thick and bright. And immediately, before the paint has dried, they turn the cellophane over with the image down onto white thick paper and, as it were, blot the drawing, and then lift it up. This results in two drawings. Sometimes the image remains on cellophane, sometimes on paper.

Drawing under the film

Squeeze the paint onto cardboard or paper, put a film on top and smooth it with cotton wool, then sharply pull the film away. This way you get a good sunset, sea, fire...

Drawing on wet paper

Until recently, it was believed that painting could only be done on dry paper, because the paint was sufficiently diluted with water. But there are a number of objects, subjects, images that are better to draw on damp paper. Clarity and vagueness are needed, for example, if a child wants to depict the following themes: “City in the fog,” “I had dreams,” “It’s raining,” “City at night,” “Flowers behind the curtain,” etc. You need to teach your preschooler to make the paper a little damp. If the paper is too wet, the drawing may not work. Therefore, it is recommended to soak a ball of cotton wool in clean water, squeeze it out and rub it either over the entire sheet of paper, or (if required) only over a separate part. And the paper is ready to produce unclear images.

Drawing with postcards

Almost every home has a lot of old postcards. Go through old postcards with your children, teach them to cut out the necessary images and paste them into place, into the plot. A bright factory image of objects and phenomena will give even the simplest unpretentious drawing a completely artistic design. It is sometimes difficult for a three-, four-, or even five-year-old child to draw a dog and a beetle. You can take them ready-made, and let him finish drawing the sun and rain for the dog and the bug and be very happy. Or if, together with the children, you cut out a fairy-tale house with a grandmother in the window from a postcard and paste it on, then the preschooler, relying on his imagination, knowledge of fairy tales and visual skills, will undoubtedly add something to it.

Whose trace

Another way of drawing, or rather, printing, is based on the ability of many objects to leave colorful imprints on paper. You take a potato, cut it in half and from one half cut out a square, triangle, diamond, flower or something interesting. Moreover, one side of the print must be flat for application to the paper, and you will hold the other with your hand. Then you or your child dip such a signet in paint (preferably gouache) and apply it to the paper. As you might guess, an imprint remains. With the help of these signets you can make beads, ornaments, patterns, and mosaics.
Not only potatoes can serve as stamps, but also bottle caps, felt-tip pen caps, buttons, small boxes, etc.
You can try to depict something based on the principle of construction from different parts. For example, a car (reel - wheels, cubes - body and window); castle of a sorceress, animals, etc.

You can paint the wheels of a toy car and drive it around on paper.
An interesting rose-shaped print is made from the remains of a head of Chinese cabbage.

Salty drawings

What if you paint with glue and sprinkle salt on top of these areas? Then you will get amazing snow pictures. They will look more impressive if they are done on blue, blue, pink colored paper. Try it, it's very exciting!

Tooth paint

Or let's create winter landscapes in another way - painting with toothpaste. First, the child must be explained that this is a creative search, and this use of toothpaste does not give him the right to squeeze it out on the floor, shelves and tables. Together with your child, outline with a pencil the light contours of trees, houses, and snowdrifts. Slowly squeezing out the toothpaste, go over all the outlined contours. Such work must be dried and it is better not to put it in a folder along with other drawings. For creativity, it is best to use a domestic product - it dries faster.

Drawing with relief

Flour is added to the paint and applied to the sheet. The cardboard strip is cut into teeth and we draw patterns along and across. From a dried leaf, cut out a shape, such as a vase. Let's draw flowers on a white sheet of paper and then glue them on. You can also draw with a stick, toothpick, fork, or match.

Glue painting

Squeeze glue onto the image on paper, let it dry, and then paint over it to create a relief.

Like an artist to an artist

But this is a completely unusual path! You need to get a large sheet of paper. You ask the baby to lie down on such a sheet and circle it. Of course, it’s better for the whole thing to fit in (this can be achieved by gluing two or three sheets of whatman paper together) or, as a last resort, for the torso and head to fit. You have traced the baby, and now it’s his time - let him try to decorate the silhouette: draw eyes, mouth, hair, jewelry, clothes. If the child is small, then do this work together - the baby suggests, and you, admiring his imagination, draw with him.

Rainy fantasies
Another option for unconventional drawing is the following: during rain or snowfall, you boldly open the window and expose a sheet of paper for less than a minute, holding it horizontally. You probably guessed that drops of rain or snow will remain on the sheet. And this is what we sought. Now traces of bad weather can be outlined and turned into fairy-tale creatures. They can also be connected to each other by guessing what kind of image they get.

Drawing by points

An adult prepares a drawing diagram in advance, placing contour points. The child is told: “Do you want to be surprised? Then connect the dots with each other in order!” Offer to complete the resulting outline, color it, come up with a plot and a name.

Picture from both sides

You will need a cardboard sheet, a wide brush, paper clips, and colored pencils. First you need to paint a sheet of cardboard with any paint (an old cardboard folder will do). Immediately, before the paint has dried, place a sheet of plain white paper (preferably writing paper) on top. Attach the paper with paper clips and have the child draw something with a colored pencil on a white sheet. If you want, you can use coloring, but the drawing should be simple - some object. When the drawing is finished, unfasten and remove the paper. Look what happened - on the side that was pressed to the folder, you got a color picture with a convex, as if imprinted, pattern.

Take thick paint not diluted with water (it is better to use acrylic or gouache) and paint a colored spot. Use a piece of cardboard or a crochet hook to scratch the lines. Or you can cut the cardboard with jagged teeth and scratch ridges in the paint. Using a crochet hook, scratch out different curls. Using the edge of the cardboard, press out lines in a crisscross pattern. Make impressions with the cap of a felt-tip pen. After the child has mastered this technique, you can begin to create a picture. To do this, apply paint of different colors on several sheets of paper and scratch the surface in different ways. Now assemble the composition. For example, cut out a pond from a piece with scallops, cut out a sky with clouds from curls, make a snake from a scaly surface, and so on. Paste the cut out elements onto a blank sheet of paper.

Drawing with gouache using the poking method

You will need gouache, a brush, and album sheets. The child holds a brush in his hands and places it perpendicularly on the paper. Show me how your brush jumps! Using this poking method, you can draw fireworks, you can color a fluffy cat (the cat should be drawn in advance with a felt-tip pen or pencil), you can also color flowers.

The concept itself explains the meaning of this method: it combines several of those described above. In general, we ideally think the following is important: it is good when a preschooler is not only familiar with various image techniques, but also does not forget about them, but uses them appropriately, fulfilling a given goal. For example, one of the 5-6 year old children decided to draw summer, and for this he uses a dotted pattern (flowers), and the child will draw the sun with his finger, he will cut out fruits and vegetables from postcards, he will depict the sky and clouds with fabrics, etc. There is no limit to improvement and creativity in visual arts.

English teacher-researcher Anna Rogovin recommends using everything that is at hand for drawing exercises: drawing with a rag, a paper napkin (folded many times); draw with dirty water, old tea leaves, coffee grounds, berry juice. It is also useful to color cans and bottles, spools and boxes, etc.
