Still life with autumn leaves: three master classes for children. Summary of an art lesson on the topic: "Autumn still life" for children of the senior group How to draw a still life on the theme of autumn
I'll paint an autumn still life...
Autumn, autumn! How many colors you have collected within yourself, but they made you even more beautiful. Although you are starting to lose your beautiful outfit and we look at this with sadness, you still attract our attention. We follow the swirling and falling leaves and see how the last flowers of autumn gradually fade. And yet your portrait, the portrait of autumn, retains tenderness, charm and warmth.
Autumn exquisite range:
Velvet yellow and red asters bouquet
Framed by me in a golden frame,—
It’s like a gentle portrait of Autumn.
The shine comes from the bouquet
With the captured charm of warmth.
Oh, so much feeling, grace, light
Serene Autumn has woven into them!
Frozen in a massive brown vase,
They are graceful, fragile and tender,
Immediately catching our gaze,
Throwing us into autumn days.
They contain beauty, married with sadness,
Fills us with purity of heart,
And it’s so light, wonderful, this feeling,
As a gift of Love from the immortal Creator...
(Elvira Gonik)
Floats like a weird snake
There is a flock of music notes over the old park.
Artist sitting on a bench
Autumn paints a still life.
A violin nearby is sad about something
And echoing the violin in unison
Near the concrete balustrade
The saxophone cries hysterically.
Casually casting a farewell glance,
rustling withered leaves,
To the sounds of sad music
Summer is coming to rest.
(Vasily Moroz)
I will collect a bouquet of autumn leaves,
I’ll put it on the table in a crystal vase,
I'll get watercolors, paper, brushes
And I will paint an autumn still life.
I gently stroke with transparent strokes
Cheerful leaf - hello to the sun,
I will color the rowan branch
In orange, a bright sunset color.
The reflections play merrily on the vase,
The pink dawn is knocking on the window,
And it reminds me of autumn
Beautiful, delicate, sunny bouquet!
(T. Ezhkina)

Goal: learn to draw still life.
Tasks:
-introduce the artistic genre “still life”, teach how to convey the beauty of autumn leaves, observe proportions, learn to select the right color scheme, use a palette;
- develop imagination, memory, hand motor skills, eye;
- bring up careful attitude to nature.
Materials and equipment:
Illustrations depicting autumn bouquets in a vase, sheets of paper, brushes, palette, paints, jars of water, simple pencils, setting a vase with a twig with autumn leaves.
Preliminary work:
Drawing autumn leaves in the wet, observing autumn trees, reading works of art on the theme of the beauty of nature in autumn.
Progress of the lesson:
Guys, what time of year is it now?
- autumn.
What happens in the fall?
- leaves turn yellow, red, orange, and fall off.
In the last lesson we drew an autumn leaf. How did we convey the beauty of an autumn leaf?
- painted in different colors.
How did they do it?
- until one paint dried, they added another and they merged.
Right.
And today I propose to draw a still life.
Still life is a French word that translates as “dead nature.”
Still life is a genre visual arts, depicting a group of inanimate objects. The painting or photograph may contain flowers, fruits, dishes and other objects arranged so as to create harmonious composition. A traditional still life is painted in a realistic style from life (looking at the original).
Look at these pictures
A conversation is held based on these paintings.
And our still life will be called “Branch with autumn leaves.”
Look, in front of you is a vase with an autumn twig.
Let's take a look at our setup.
What is the vase on?
What vase?
What shape?
What shape are the leaves?
What color are the leaves?
Let's get to work. First, let's make a sketch in a simple pencil.
Let's outline the table, height and middle of the vase:
These are auxiliary lines for the vase, so we draw them thinly, without pressing hard on the pencil.
Now let’s draw the vase:
Now let's rest.
Physical education minute:
Autumn rain is drizzling from the clouds,
(throws with relaxed hands)
The tree, having shed its leaves, stands
(hands up, fingers pointing up (tree branches))
The autumn wind shakes the branches
(smoothly shake hands)
The wind blows the leaves under the tree.
(they sit down and “ruffle the leaves” under the tree, imitating their rustling: “sh-sh-sh-sh...”)
The wind blows, blows, blows, blows
(wave your arms towards yourself)
Tears yellow leaves from a tree
(spinning around in place)
and the leaves are flying,
Circling along the path (walk around on tiptoes)
Leaves are falling right at our feet. (turn around themselves and squat).
Now let's complete our drawing in color. First, let's draw the branches. What color and brush will we need?
— Brown or black, with a thin brush.
Drawing the leaves:
Option 1: cover green paint the entire leaf, then until the paint has dried, apply yellow paint from the edge or in the middle. And vice versa.
Option 2: cover with red paint, then add yellow and vice versa.
Option 3: cover with green paint, then add red and vice versa.
Let's get to work.
Now we paint over the vase and table. Our still life is ready.
Lesson summary:
Guys, tell me, what did we draw today? What was difficult and what was easy? Do you think we managed to be real artists? Your still lifes are so beautiful that I propose organizing an exhibition.

Open lesson for art teachers in the art studio kindergarten with children of the preparatory group.
Subject:
"Autumn still life"
(using the “reverse graphics” technique)
Tasks:
1. Continue to introduce children to one of the genres of painting - still life.
2. Introduce the form of fine art - graphics and “reverse” graphics.
3. To arouse in children the desire to create a still life from the proposed objects, combining them with each other in color and size.
4. Strengthen the ability to convey in drawing characteristics leaves, flowers, fruits: shape, structure, size, location.
5. Continue to master techniques for working in non-traditional techniques - drawing with an eraser ( reverse graphics).
6. In the process of work, create a joyful mood in children, teach them the ability to enjoy the results of their work and the successes of other children.
7. Support the manifestation of imagination and courage in presenting your own ideas.
Progress of the lesson:
*Installation for a meeting in the art studio (in a group):
Guys, our pencil friend is waiting for you in the art studio, he has prepared a lot of interesting things for you.
1.
*Children in the art studio.
Today we have many guests in our art studio, welcome them.
*In the magic window - Pencil.
Guys, we often meet with a pencil, and it has become our friend.
*On the screen Pencil and Eraser
Today he came not alone, but with an elastic band. Why did he bring her, you will find out later, but now Pencil has prepared a video riddle for you, do you want to guess it?
*Video excerpt: “If you see in the picture (still life)
Guys, you guessed what we will talk about today, and if you want, draw (about still life).
I invite you to a video exhibition where we will admire still lifes by different artists.
*Viewing still lifes (on TV screen).
Did you like the still lifes?
What time of year do these still lifes tell about? (autumn)
What colors did artists use to convey the gifts of autumn?
Expected answers from children: bright, warm, golden, sunny...
Look how bright the works are, what a variety of colors there are.
Before drawing a still life, the artist composes it.
And I also wanted to create an autumn still life.
I saved oak branches, maple leaves, flowers. We have vases and fruits.
Guys, I’ll try to make a still life, and I hope you can help me.
What is our background? (dark) Choose the vase that suits best (dark or light)
(-Dark vase, as if hidden)
*Making a still life with the children. We admire it.

*On Screen Pencil
Pencil has prepared something else for you.
It turns out that you can depict a still life using only two colors - black and white, and this type of fine art is called graphics.
Pencil wants to show you autumn still lifes made using this technique.
* Viewing autumn still lifes (on the TV screen).
**Comment while watching:
If painting is a colorful art, then the main colors of graphics are black and white. Expressive means graphics - line, drawing, transitions of color and shadow, contrast of dark and light.
*On the screen is a Pencil and an Eraser (an excerpt from the song Big Secret...)
But now the pencil wants to reveal the secret of why it came with an eraser today
Often, when we draw a sketch with a simple pencil, we use an eraser. But the eraser not only erases, but can also create a picture itself.
This is graphics in reverse or “reverse graphics”.
Look through the magic window - these are children's works using technology - reverse graphics.
* Viewing children's works (on the TV screen).
Pencil has prepared tinted sheets for you and invites you to draw an autumn still life as a memory of this beautiful time of year. Do you mind?
2.
Guys, I invite you to take a seat in our art workshop.
I wanted to draw a still life like this in memory of autumn.
*Showing my still life.
If you liked the still life that we compiled together, then you can draw it.
Or you can come up with and depict your own still life.
The same object can be depicted in different ways:
Dark - can be conveyed simply contour pattern or highlighting the outline
Light - light silhouette with additional veins drawn in pencil
*Showing three different ways images of one subject(leaf) and how small round shapes can be depicted.
![](https://i0.wp.com/maam.ru/upload/blogs/detsad-266207-1416671890.jpg)
*Turn on calm music
Now, to the music, imagine your autumn still life and depict it using the technique - reverse graphics, using an eraser and a simple pencil.
Those who are ready can start working.
![](https://i2.wp.com/maam.ru/upload/blogs/detsad-266207-1416671955.jpg)
*When working with children I use:
Suggestive questions:
What size should the leaves be so that everyone can see and admire them;
Can there be leaves from different trees on the same branch?
What part of the leaf can the vase occupy?
How you can correct the mistake is to shade out this part;
To draw thin lines, it is better to use an eraser on a pencil, and to draw large lines, use an eraser.
Indirect instructions:
Would you like to add veins to the leaves...
Reminders:
Did you remember to draw the table or shelf on which the still life is located?
How interesting you decorated the vase, well done;
I really liked the way you arranged the objects in your still life;
You got carved leaves, great...
*During work, I offer a minute of physical education to those children who are tired:
Finger gymnastics “Autumn Bouquet”
Children place their fingers to the side and bend them to the beat of the poem, one at a time, starting with the thumb:
One two three four five,
We will collect leaves. (All fingers are gathered into a fist.)
Oak leaves, (Bend your little finger)
Maple leaves, (Bend your ring finger.)
Rowan leaves, (Bend your middle finger.)
Aspen leaves. (Bend your index finger.)
We will collect beautiful leaves together
(Put two palms together with fingers apart.)
And we’ll bring an autumn bouquet to mom!
3.
- Guys, the little bell is ringing now. But as soon as the big bell rings in our magic window, our art workshop will close, and we will invite all guests to the opening of the exhibition of autumn still lifes.
(And those who didn’t have time to finish drawing a little can do it in a group, in their free time).
* Upon completion, place the children’s work in an exhibition
Guys, today at our meeting you learned how you can depict still lifes in different ways - in color and in graphics, and in reverse graphics.
Your autumn still lifes turned out expressive, interesting, and different.
![](https://i2.wp.com/maam.ru/upload/blogs/detsad-266207-1416672069.jpg)
And what helped you create this beauty was an ordinary eraser and a simple pencil.
Today you were graphic artists.
Whose still life is similar to ours? Why did you decide to draw him?
How exactly did you depict the veins? What did you use?
Which branches did you get that were thin, and what tree did they come from?
And your leaves turned out as if they were alive.
You decorated the vase very beautifully, you chose unusual patterns.
Guys, let's admire your still lifes and invite guests to join us.

Aster with its straight petals
Since ancient times it has been called a “star”.
That's what you would call it yourself.
The petals in it scattered like rays
From the core it's completely golden.(Vsevolod Rozhdestvensky)
Legend of the Aster
Astra – translated from Greek means “star”.
An ancient legend says that the aster grew from a speck of dust that fell from a star. Already in Ancient Greece people were familiar with the constellation Virgo - the goddess of love Aphrodite. According to ancient Greek myth the aster emerged from cosmic dust as Virgo looked from the sky and cried.
There is a belief that if you stand among the asters at night and listen carefully, you can hear a light whisper: these are the asters having an endless conversation with their sister stars.
In China, asters symbolize beauty, precision, elegance, charm and modesty.
For Hungarians, this flower is associated with autumn, which is why in Hungary the aster is called the “autumn rose”. In ancient times, people believed that if a few aster leaves were thrown into a fire, the smoke from the fire could drive away snakes.
Astra is considered a gift to man from the gods - a particle of a distant star.
Necessary materials:
- album sheet (A4),
- gouache,
- a glass of water;

Progress.
1. We start by building a composition. With a simple pencil making a sketch of the future still life. Draw a vase (in the shape of an inverted trapezoid)
2. Ovals are our future flowers.
3. Using a thick brush, fill the vertical and horizontal surfaces with color. It is better to choose light shades. We will try not to paint over the future vase and flowers. But you shouldn’t leave clear outlines of the vase and flowers.
4. We begin to draw the greenery. We try to move the brush upward from the top base of the vase.
5. Add another shade of green. It can be lighter or darker (at your discretion)
6. Now let’s draw thin blades of grass
7. We decorate the vase in light shades.
8. Place a drop of lilac gouache in the middle of the future flower. The drop must be large.
9. Let's add more ruby.
10. Maybe a little red.
You can combine any other paint colors.
One hundred shades and varieties
These joyful flowers:

11. Now take a fork and carefully stretch the paint from the center to the edges of the future flower.
12. This is the kind of flower you get.
13. We will continue to make other flowers using the same technique. Then add the yellow centers of the flower.
14. Add more greenery and various twigs
We frame the work
Creative success and sunny mood!
Translated into Russian, the word “still life” means “dead nature”. To put it simply, such a picture depicts inanimate objects in a certain color scheme and with a characteristic fall of light and shadows. It is very difficult to depict a visible composition using pencils and paints, to convey all the shades, mood and spirit. Therefore, to simplify the task, conventional artists began to divide compositions into categories. They may depend on the time of year, on the colors and on the objects that are depicted. Now we will look at an autumn still life, get acquainted with its color scheme, style and other features.
Features of autumn still life
Sometimes it seems that painting pictures of autumn is the most exciting activity. They contain a huge number of shades, but they are all in the same color scheme - warm, red and yellow. An autumn still life can be dark, saturated or light, transparent, but in both cases the colors will be bright and expressive. The background may catch your eye, for example, painted objects are standing on the window, and behind the glass you can see a bright blue sky. In a similar way, attention can be drawn to objects located in the foreground of the picture.
As a rule, an autumn still life shows us the gifts of this season, its features, which are not only in colors. These can be pictures of the harvest (apples, pumpkins, grapes), images (asters, chrysanthemums), with which household items are certainly combined - vases, pots, chests, etc. Among the artists who painted such masterpieces, Eduard Panov, our contemporary, occupies a place of honor. His work contains floral motifs and other autumn attributes.
Different pictures of autumn
It is worth noting that autumn as art has come a long way from antiquity to the 21st century, and over the centuries people have depicted everything that surrounded them, including paintings of autumn. They became most plausible in the 19th century, when the trends that followed them also became relevant. Among the masterpieces of that time, A. Gerasimov’s painting “Gifts of Autumn” deserves attention. The name of the canvas speaks for itself - it represents the golden age in all its glory.
Examples in painting
Josef Lauer captured this season with a slight touch of romanticism in his painting “Peaches, Plums, Grapes, Melons and Autumn Flowers.” This autumn still life has retained all the warm tones that are characteristic of the golden age, which is why it is considered one of the standards of autumn painting.
But Henri Fantin-Latour managed to depict autumn in an unconventional way in his painting “Flowers, Fruits and Pumpkins.” The canvas is painted in red, rich colors, as if passed through a gradient. The style is something between romanticism, realism and primitivism. The painting is rightfully considered a masterpiece of painting.
Using modern technology, you can also make a unique autumn still life. A photo of objects in which every shade, every shadow and reflection is captured - a work of art of the new century. Such paintings are more than realistic, but still depend on the mood of the master who made them.
