In kindergarten, kids are taught many different important and interesting tricks that will greatly simplify life in the future. For example, non-traditional drawing in the preparatory group can not only become a good entertainment, but also a hobby, a hobby in the future.
Lesson Topics
It is especially difficult for educators to pick up some notes, so the bulk of classes are held according to standard schemes, or even taken from the head. Possible topics that can be adjusted to non-traditional drawing:
- Winter.
- Winter forest.
- Summer.
- Rest in the summer.
- Autumn.
- Autumn forest.
- Holiday themes.
- Spring.
- Awakening of nature.
- Abstraction.
- Toning.
- Family.
- Transport.
- Space.
- Animals.
- Birds.
The list goes on and on. However, non-traditional drawing in the preparatory group of a kindergarten on these topics is the most productive and generally accepted.
Winter as a theme for classes
Perhaps, with this theme everything is quite simple, but interesting. There are lots of ways to make non-traditional painting in the preparatory group on the theme of "Winter" really funny and fun. At the same time informative and useful. What can be used:
- cotton buds or tampons;
- confetti;
- sparkles;
- water
- cabbage leaves;
- foam sponges;
- salt;
- sugar.
Each of the techniques has its own characteristics and nuances that need to be taken into account. Alternative painting on a winter topic can be divided into several different classes in order to try out several techniques.
New Year
For this topic, you can use several glueless techniques at once. For example, with sparkles and foam sponges. What is required:
- Paints.
- Water.
- Foam sponges with large pores.
- Sparkles are dry.
How to put all this into practice? First, ask the children to depict the Christmas tree, and then decorate it with sparkles. It is noteworthy that glue is not required at all. Just sparkles need to be sprayed on paint that has not yet dried so that they are fixed on it. Using a foam sponge, it is necessary to apply a porous pattern with blue paint, so that in the end you get a kind of snowball or hoarfrost. Toddlers will like to conduct classes not only with such unusual materials, but also with some others.
Winter patterns
On this topic, you can use various techniques that will appeal to children. For example, creating prints using a cabbage leaf. Unconventional drawing in the preparatory group teaches you to use materials that at first glance are not at all intended for the visual arts. How to use cabbage leaves? Everything is pretty simple. It will be required:
- paints;
- sheets of paper;
- brushes;
- plastic plates;
- fresh and crisp cabbage leaves;
- Christmas tree branches.
Of the paints, gouache is ideal, because it is thick, it is easier to apply. To make the kids more fun, you can supplement the lessons with fun stories and rhymes. Unconventional drawing of winter patterns with the help of cabbage leaves consists of several stages.
Stage One: Impressions
It is advisable to put on children protective aprons and gloves so that they do not get dirty in the process. Blue or blue paint is applied to the cabbage leaf from the side of the veins. Only on the veins themselves to make the print more interesting and even. Then the sheet is pressed against the paper to print the pattern. Initially, cabbage is placed on plastic plates. In this case, the working surface will remain clean and tidy.
Stage Two: Drawing
With a thin brush, paint is added to the finished print to form the most intricate and complex pattern. It can be slightly washed out with water. In this case, you get a real frosty pattern, which is usually obtained on glasses.
Stage Three: Blizzard
Fir branches are needed in order to make a blizzard. In a plate, gouache is mixed with water until a liquid state. Spruce branches are wetted in it. With their help, an intricate pattern is applied to a sheet of paper where there is free space.
Stage Four: Discussion
Unconventional drawing in the preparatory group (winter as a topic for classes) implies a discussion of the results. Children should tell what exactly they like in the drawing, what, in their opinion, did not work out, and what could be corrected or done differently.
Spring as a theme
The spring theme is no less interesting than the winter one. You can draw using many different materials. For example, you may find it useful:
- cotton pads;
- gouache;
- watercolor;
- large round brush;
- food colors (blue, yellow, red, green).
Non-traditional children's drawing techniques can be combined with each other as in this case. The lesson itself is divided into several main stages.
Step 1: Background Preparation
A sheet of paper is wetted with water, then a watercolor is applied to it: the upper strip is paler than all subsequent ones. Recommended colors: pink, red, lilac, purple. It is important that the background does not have time to completely dry before the second stage.
Step 2: food coloring
They are sprayed in the middle of the sheet in a chaotic manner, mixing colors. It turns out an unusual riot of colors, which is subsequently converted into a luxurious bouquet of flowers. Food coloring must dry before gouache painting.
Step 3: flower vase
Unconventional drawing in the preparatory group on the theme of "Spring" in this case consists in depicting a still life without nature. That is, a visual aid for him is not required. The vase is drawn with a round big brush. It is important to remind the children that for the naturalness of the picture you need to make glare on the dishes. They are always bright, as if the sun's rays fall on a vase. You can choose any shape: round, oval, square.
Step 4: drawing details
When the food coloring dries, you can add clear drawings of the green stems of the gouache flowers. This will give the drawing an almost finished look. It is important to explain to the children that the stems should not fall on the vase itself, since they are in it. With the help of cold shades, the shadow of the dishes is drawn. The task of the educator is to explain on which side it should be relatively glare on the vase.
Step 5: using a cotton pad
With it, you can make an unusual, convex and very tangible apple. The disk is abundantly wetted with water, pressed to the drawing on one side of the vase. Until the cotton wool has dried, it is covered with gouache in yellow or red, the tail is painted. For liveliness, you can add a green leaf.
Summer theme
For classes on this topic, you can use finger and cam techniques. Everything is quite simple and interesting for kids. It is not necessary to buy finger paints , enough gouache and warm water to wash your hands later. Unconventional drawing in the preparatory group on the theme of "Summer" can be with any subtopic, but the most interesting in cam and finger techniques are animals and birds. For example, you can draw a bunny on a green lawn.
Stage One: Animal
Since the picture does not always have to display the real picture, you can choose any color for the hare that the child likes. Gouache of a suitable shade is bred in a plastic plate. The kids squeeze their hand into the cam, then get one side wet in the paint. Until it has dried, they press their fist against a sheet of paper to form a clear impression. If necessary, you can use your fingers to make the hare's head brighter by drawing additional paint. In the same way, the body of the animal is attached. Fingers add ears, paws and a tail. With the help of a brush or a cotton swab, eyes and a nose, teeth, and antennae are drawn on a bunny.
Stage Two: Lawn
It can also be done with a brush or fingers. Depends on what kids liked more. By the way, if you leave this moment to their discretion, then all the drawings will be as different as possible from each other, which will give rise to active discussion. In the future, such analysis and introspection will be useful to children in school and adulthood. After drawing the lawn, the flowers on it, you can supplement the picture with the sun and clouds. Summer drawing is ready.
Finger birds
You can draw birds in the same way. For example, a chicken or a cockerel. Unconventional drawing in the preparatory group on the theme of "Birds" looks like this:
- First, the palm is smeared with paint (for example, yellow), then pressed to a sheet of paper.
- Hands must be washed before proceeding with drawing in other colors. Caregivers need to ensure that all children complete the procedure, since one of the key points is to maintain cleanliness.
- The fingers are wetted in gouache (for example, red), then the beard and tuft are drawn where there is a thumbprint, the tail on the little finger, the wing on the palm itself and the individual feathers on the prints of the remaining fingers.
- When the drawing dries out a little, with the help of a cotton swab, the eye of a rooster or chicken is depicted, the body contour is performed.
Alternative drawing in the preparatory group on this topic may be different. For example, if there are real feathers of birds (for example, from a pillow). In this case, you can combine finger technology with pen technology. That is, the plumage of a bird is drawn using a real feather dipped in paint. In this case, the pattern is especially vibrant and interesting.
Autumn Forest Imprints
To complete it, you will need:
- paints (gouache);
- real leaflets of trees (soft, not yet dried);
- brushes.
Unconventional drawing in the preparatory group on the theme of "Autumn" in impression technology is not the most difficult task, but very interesting and entertaining. The sequence of actions is as follows:
- A brown paint is applied to the veins with a thin brush. Then the leaves are pressed to the paper to form prints that depict tree trunks and branches.
- On the leaves of plants between the veins, green, red, yellow paint is applied. The blank is pressed against the paper so that a crown of trees forms on trunks and branches.
- Tassels complement the drawing, making weed (dry, sometimes green). Additionally, you can draw individual leaves fallen from trees, leaf fall.
Wax drawings
This technique is quite safe and interesting, since the result is always original and unexpected. You will need decorative colored candles, gouache and plastic knives (which are found in modeling kits, for example). Unconventional drawing in the preparatory group, pictures with examples for which you can choose in advance, in this technique can be on any topic. Cosmos, for example. Candles on a piece of paper form various comets, planets and other galactic elements. Then everything is covered with paint, and excess parts are cut out with a plastic knife. It is noteworthy that gouache should be as thick as possible, otherwise it will spread through the wax.
Lesson objectives
Besides the fact that non-traditional drawing in the preparatory group helps to have fun, it also carries several other important functions. Firstly, it develops fine motor skills. When different materials are used for creativity, then it affects her like nothing else. Secondly, it helps to develop thinking and imagination. Children not only copy what they see in front of themselves (example), but also add something of their own to the drawing, supplement it with what they think is most suitable and necessary. Thirdly, non-traditional drawing techniques allow you to develop creativity. Of course, not every child will grow up and become an artist, but this creative beginning will be useful to them both in school and in life later. Fourthly, such drawing helps to comprehend the secrets of analysis and introspection. During discussions after classes, children express their opinions, show their knowledge about a particular topic, actively (or not) think about a given subject. The game form of classes allows you to constantly keep the interest of even the most restless boys and girls.
Parents task
Since the kids adopt most of the manners from their mothers and fathers, special tasks are assigned to the latter. So, for example, parents should not only patiently listen to what a new child learned in drawing lessons, but also actively discuss creativity with him. It is even better when mothers and fathers periodically allocate time for classes at home. So kids can in practice show their parents what they have been taught. It is noteworthy that this method of creative education is bearing fruit: children are more interested in the world around them, show more and more imagination, think faster and more actively in the future.
