Drawing space using unconventional techniques. Photo report on the exhibition of children's works.

Dear colleagues!

In preschool educational institutions, teachers actively use unconventional drawing techniques. Term « unconventional» (from Lat. Tradition – habitual) involves the use of materials, tools, and drawing methods that are not generally accepted, traditional, or widely known.

As you know, children often copy the model offered to them. Unconventional techniques images allow you to avoid this, since the teacher, instead of a ready-made example, demonstrates only the method of action with non-traditional materials, tools.

This gives impetus to the development of imagination, creativity, the manifestation of independence, initiative, and the expression of individuality. Applying and combining different image methods in one drawing, preschoolers learn to think, decide independently what use technology so that this or that image turns out to be the most expressive.

Endless spaces space You can conveniently draw with watercolors, gouache, complementing the image spray technique.

Children of senior preschool age can draw planets with gouache paints.

Planets are easy and simple for all children in unconventional technology drawing - printing.

How extraordinary the drawings are obtained, if you take potatoes as a stamp. Even if you just cut a potato in half, dip it in gouache and create!

Whatever background the children choose, it is necessary to start applying gouache paint to the potato with white paint, even if the planet is red or green. The colors will mix during the printing process, and the planet itself will be clearly visible against a dark background outer space.

The handle of the signet should be comfortable for a child’s small hand, so it is better to insert a plastic disposable fork into the convex part of the cut potato.

And it’s even more convenient to type with carrots, because they are long, it’s convenient to keep them small child's hand. And then the diameter of the carrots changes, and you can cut several dies of different sizes. So the child can easily depict distant planets and nearby ones.

As an addition, the child is invited to complete the drawing independently. spaceships flying in space and fantastic, aliens, Martians, lunatics, pilots- astronauts, stars and asteroids.

If you prepare in advance with the children soap bubble drawings(see http://www..html), you can depict the planets from these colored blanks.

Colored bubbles will help your child travel to Mars and the Moon. You need to cut out red and pink large bubbles for the planet Mars, yellow and light green ones for the planet Moon and paste them on colored paper in dark shades - black, ultramarine, blue, violet. Now all that remains is to finish drawing the stars, the rocket, the alien ship, comets, and the sun. On your marks! Attention! Let's fly!

Drawing space with children: two step-by-step master classes on unusual techniques for drawing space with children.

Drawing space with children

Master class 1: drawing space with children with balloons

Today in this article you will learn a very interesting and unusual technique for painting with gouache balls. Yes Yes! Instead of a brush, the children and I will paint with balloons! This technique allows you to get a very unusual background of space on a sheet of paper and is accessible even to the smallest children.

Children's age: from junior preschool and older.

Materials and tools

To work you need:

- landscape paper, or preferably watercolor,

- a lid with sides from a cardboard box or a disposable rectangular plastic plate,

- colored paper,

- glue stick.

- glass balls.

Where can I get glass balls for drawing? Glass marbles can be bought in stores for children, in art stores and for florists (they are usually called “marbles”, “marbles mix” and other similar names). Such balls are used for children's games and in floristry to decorate transparent vases, decor, and compositions. You can also use beads and plastic balls from children's sets. In the old days, glass balls were used from dispensers on a bottle of vodka (if you have several copies of one at home and it is possible to get balls from it).

Step 1

- Pick up a lid from the box (I took rectangular plastic plates).

— Cut a sheet of paper to the size of the plate.

Step 2

— Insert the paper into the plate.

— Drop a blot of pink paint, diluted like sour cream, onto the paper

— Put a few glass balls.

Step 3

— Tilt the plate up and down, left and right so that the balls roll through the paint spot and spread the paint all over the sheet. At the same time, make sure that the tilts of the plate are not sharp, but smooth. The child needs to slowly change the tilt of the plate so that the balls do not fly out of the plate. This develops sensorimotor coordination.

Step 4

— Add a blot of blue paint to the sheet.

- Continue rolling the balls, getting blue lines.

Step 5

Add a black blot and continue rolling the balls until your space sky is ready.

Step 6. Draw a rocket.

In the previous steps we drew the background of space with the child. And now, against this background, we will make a rocket. It can be drawn (if you are drawing space with children of senior preschool age) or done using the appliqué technique (if you are drawing space with children of primary preschool age).

How you can make a rocket or spaceship using the appliqué technique against a background of space:

- Remove the paper from the plate

— Cut out a rocket from colored paper, stick it on a blank with the cosmic sky

— Cut out the wings of the rocket, the fiery tail, and stick it next to the rocket.

— Cut out circles, stick windows on the rocket

The space picture is ready!

This is what the children came up with - their work is shown in the photo below.

Nastya (4 years old) depicted a spaceship approaching the planet against the background of space.

The drawing by Lesha (6 years old) shows a rocket against a background of space.

And this is a drawing of little Felix (3.5 years old). He himself drew the background of space with balls and, with the help of an adult, cut out the finished parts of the rocket and pasted them onto the background.

Creative task:

— Think about what round objects can be used instead of balls to draw space?

— Create your own cosmic sky pattern.

— Use your imagination and compose your own plot composition “Space Space”

Author of the master class: Vera Parfentyeva, technology teacher, leader of the children's art circle, reader of the Rodnaya Pathinka website and participant in our Internet Workshop of educational games “Through play - to success!” In the article, Vera shared photographs of her little students’ drawings.

Master class 2. Drawing space with children using the grattage technique

Age of children: senior preschool and junior school.

Scratching is a technique of scratching an image into a background. The word grattage comes from the French gratter - “scrape, scratch.”

To draw space using the grattage technique you will need very simple objects:

- a thick sheet of white cardboard for the background,

- black gouache or black ink,

- colored wax crayons (if you want to get color images of contours),

- brush,

- dishwashing liquid,

- toothpick for scratching.

Preparatory stage.

First, we draw a sketch with a pencil on a piece of landscape paper, outlining where we will draw what. And then we prepare a sheet and scratch images on it. How to do it:

Step 1. Prepare the background for drawing

— Take a sheet of white cardboard and paint it with colored wax crayons the way you want. The entire sheet should be covered with colorful multi-colored spots. Little children will be happy to help you and paint with all their hearts!

If you do not have wax crayons, then color the sheet with ordinary colored pencils and then rub it with a paraffin candle so that the paraffin covers the entire sheet of paper.

— Mix 3 parts of mascara or black gouache with 1 part of dishwashing liquid. We get black paint. We completely cover our sheet of cardboard with this paint. Let it dry.

Step 2. Draw on the background of an image of space: planets, stars, comets, rockets.

On the finished sheet, use a toothpick or a sharp skewer to scratch our drawing on the theme of space. It turns out to be a very beautiful job!

Helpful Tips:

— You can use ready-made plastic stencils to outline drawings on the theme “Space”. Even children of middle preschool age can draw from them. Older preschoolers and schoolchildren can scratch the drawing themselves, without a stencil.

— If you do not want to get a colored background and colored lines of scratched contours, but want to get white outlines on a black background of space, then use white cardboard. Rub it with a paraffin candle so that the entire sheet is completely covered with a slightly whitish coating. Next, completely paint over this sheet with black ink diluted with liquid soap. And you will have a background for scratching, which will give a black and white picture of space in the finished work.

Master class 3. Drawing space in watercolors with... salt!

You will learn how to paint space with watercolors from the video of the channel “Risovand IA”

Good luck in your creativity! We will be glad if you share the results of your creativity!

Master class on drawing for preschoolers of the senior preparatory group on the topic: “SPACE” step by step with photos

Sredina Olga Stanislavovna, teacher, head of the art studio of the MDOU TsRR d.s. No. 1 “Bear Cub”, Yuryuzan, Chelyabinsk Region

Purpose:
Creation of educational, gift or competition work
Materials:
A3 white or colored double-sided paper, wax crayons, salt, gouache or black watercolor, soft brush No. 3-5
Goals:
Creation of works on a space theme
Tasks:
Learning different ways to depict space
Improving practical skills in using wax crayons and watercolors
Education of patriotism.
Developing curiosity

Preliminary work:

1 We look at photographs of cosmic depths.

2 We get acquainted with the history of astronautics, with the names and achievements of our outstanding cosmonauts. We remember the names: Yuri Gagarin, Valentina Tereshkova, Alexey Leonov. The world's first astronaut, the first woman in space, the first person to go into outer space. We look at the photographs, talk about the difficulties and delights of the profession of space explorers. How did test pilots become astronauts? What kind of training did they undergo? Let's take a closer look at the first human spacewalk.

2 - Thinking about space, UFOs, aliens. We discuss films and cartoons. We think what kind of aliens they might be: good or evil?

3 - Literary living room:

Arkady Khait
Any of us can name all the planets in order:
One - Mercury, two - Venus, three - Earth, four - Mars.
Five is Jupiter, six is ​​Saturn, seven is Uranus, followed by Neptune.
He is the eighth in a row. And after him, then,
And the ninth planet called Pluto.

V. Orlov
Flying in space
Steel ship around the Earth.
And even though its windows are small,
Everything is visible in them at a glance:
Steppe expanse, sea surf,
Or maybe you and me too!

Practical work No. 1: “Deep space”

To draw a cosmic landscape, we will need stencils of circles of various diameters. You can use special rulers or various “improvised means”.

We draw several planets with wax crayons, placing them randomly on the plane of the sheet. You can use the technique of superimposing nearby planets on lower ones, or depict one of the planets only partially.

After creating the cosmic composition, crumple the sheet of paper, twisting it several times, and carefully straighten it

Coloring the planets. To prevent the planets from becoming like grandma’s balls of thread, we draw very carefully with crayons and do not go beyond the edges.
Before we start working in color, we remember what forests, mountains, deserts and oceans look like from space, and we think about whether all planets can look the same? Fiery and foggy, sandy, gaseous and icy - they can look absolutely fantastic. We come up with complex color combinations.

Cover the entire sheet with black watercolor. The paint, accumulating in the cracks, creates the mysterious depth of outer space.

Practical work No. 2: “Staying in outer space”

For this work we will need a figurine of an astronaut in a spacesuit, circles of various diameters and a silhouette of a rocket.

We place all the figures on the sheet in random order. We start with a rocket and an astronaut. Then we add the planets.

Inside the silhouettes we delimit planes. We add windows to the rocket and divide the spacesuit into separate parts. We begin to gradually color the rocket, the astronaut and the planets. In order to create a festive atmosphere, we take bright, rich colors.

Adding stars. We take yellow and white crayons. We place them in small groups, in the form of constellations, or line them up (like the Milky Way). Each star is a distant, distant sun around which planets can revolve and there can be life on them.

We take a brush and black paint (watercolor or gouache) and begin to paint over the entire work. First we draw lines along the edge of the sheet, then we work along the entire sheet.

While the paint is not dry, “salt” the drawing. In the place where a grain of salt fell, the paint seems to collect, and with the help of this technique the space again becomes deep and mysterious.

Children's work (5-6 years old)

Drawing options
Flying saucers (UFOs) can be very diverse. Using our imagination, we depict alien aircraft.

Both beginning artists and children, working with paints or pencils, do not know where to start creating a drawing.
