Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten. The use of unconventional painting techniques in the older group Painting techniques in preschool age
Children and creativity are inseparable concepts. Every child at heart is an artist and sculptor, singer and musician. Creative impulses in children are manifested in the most unimaginable form, but very often they are associated with artistic activity. Sooner or later, many mothers wonder why a child needs to learn to draw? Indeed, why, if you do not plan to raise another Surikov or Aivazovsky? If your task is to see your child as a successful, self-confident person, then encourage creativity, because any visual work is an important condition for the normal development of the baby.
Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten and at home help develop spatial thinking, eye, coordination. After all, the baby needs to be tied with a single composition, the ratio of the sizes of the parts and harmoniously arrange them on the sheet. When working on a complex decorative composition, the child learns to plan his actions, choose the right 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 the favorite activities of our children. With great pleasure they draw with colored pencils, felt-tip pens, paints, dipping a brush into a bright substance. And why not get your finger wet there or smear paint all over your palm? It is impossible to set a framework for fine art, it is necessary to destroy all the boundaries of the familiar and the traditional!
Non-traditional drawing techniques attract our fidgets much more, because they do not require perseverance, they make it possible to more clearly reveal their potential during creativity, acquaint the child with the opportunity to use the things around us in an unusual way as materials for creativity. If the most unusual paints and bright pencils in the kid no longer cause the former interest, then you can dilute the creativity of your fidget with other drawing methods. Why is drawing in non-traditional ways useful in kindergarten and at home?
- The kid uses a variety of materials, recognizes the differences in textures, which allows him to improve fine motor skills.
- There is an acquaintance with volume, shape and space, which develops the imagination.
- The ability to combine and mix shades develops an aesthetic taste.
- The use of unusual materials develops thinking, teaches you to make non-standard decisions.
- Drawings using such techniques are obtained much faster, which pleases the little ones who lack perseverance so much.
- It adds self-confidence and self-confidence, because even without outstanding skills, you can create a unique "masterpiece"!
All the most interesting techniques and techniques were collected and systematized by G.N. Davydov in the book "Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten". This book is a great helper for both the teacher and the mother who wants to diversify the leisure time with the baby.
Getting started: fingers or palms
Non-traditional drawing techniques imply the image of 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 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, it will be interesting for the smallest to draw with their fingers, because it is still difficult for the baby to hold the brush, but the baby already owns his own hands brilliantly. Dip the palm of the crumbs in the paint and offer to leave a mark on the paper, as the traces of a cat and a dog leave. Consider the print with the baby, who does it look like? It looks like an elephant or a turtle, and if we draw an eye, there will be a fish! The whole action is guided only by the imagination of your kid, and if suddenly he is confused, then help him, conduct a master class - paint your palm and leave an imprint. “Look, the mother is an elephant, but where is the baby elephant?” - the child will be happy to join such a funny game.
You can not 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 kid fantasize for his own pleasure. Adults should be prepared for the fact that the paint will be not only on the leaf, but also on the baby, more precisely, the baby will be in it all 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 oversleeves for the baby, otherwise what kind of flight of fancy can we talk about if you constantly jerk the baby: "Be careful, you get dirty!"
We continue to fantasize. Stamps, impressions
Children of all ages like to use stamps when drawing. This unique technique of an unconventional method of drawing in kindergarten is so easy to perform and diverse in manifestation that it is perfect for work both in the kindergarten and at home. Ready-made stamps can be purchased at an art supply store. But it is much more interesting to make a stamp yourself, or even better with a baby.
Just about anything that can be dipped in paint and then imprinted on a piece of paper will work as a stamp. You can cut an apple or a potato - this is the simplest stamp. On a half of a potato, you can cut out some kind of figure: a heart or a flower. Another stamp is made from ordinary threads by winding them on any base. You don't need to wind the threads, but simply immerse them in the paint. After thorough impregnation, they are laid out on one sheet, covered with another, lightly pressed, and admire the intricate pattern.
It is not difficult to make a stamp from ordinary plasticine. Come up with an interesting shape and design a small piece of plasticine. It is better to choose thick paint for classic stamps. An unusual texture to the background can be given by using a crumpled napkin or paper, and then according to the worked out scheme: we dip in paint and stamp. Very beautiful stamps are obtained from dried leaves: paint a leaf with paint on one side, put it on paper and press down. After removing the painted leaf, we got the picture "Golden Autumn" - the kid is absolutely delighted.
There is another unconventional drawing technique, similar to a stamp, but with an interesting feature - painting with foam rubber. Cut a small piece from an ordinary sponge, dip it in paint and cover the sheet with gentle pressure. It's so easy and simple to get a wonderful background for further drawing, and if you use stencils or templates for children's drawing, you get an amazing floral or geometric pattern.
Drawing with dots
As a method of fine art for kids, drawing with dots can be distinguished. This simple technique is understandable even to the smallest. You will need paints and cotton swabs or regular markers. We dip the stick in the paint, and with a slight pressure draw a point on a sheet of paper, then another one - until the invented image appears on the album sheet. You can help the kid by drawing the outline of the future drawing, and he will fill it with a large number of bright prints. The topic of the bitmap can be any - both a winter fairy tale and a bright sun. Education at such a tender age should be carried out unobtrusively, in the form of a game.
Technique "monotype"
For older children, you can offer more interesting types of artistic creativity. For example, an interesting technique, which is also based on impressions - "Monotype". Its purpose is to create a symmetrical pattern, such as a mushroom, an insect (butterfly or ladybug), for an older preschool group, you can depict a landscape reflected in a lake.
We take a landscape sheet of paper, fold it in half, then unfold it and draw on one half relative to the fold line. Since we agreed to depict a butterfly, then we draw one wing, then we iron the folded sheet with our hand. We open - the butterfly already has two wings and they are exactly the same! The missing elements can be painted with a brush.
The feeling of delight is provided, while the child realizes that his "hooligan" actions, when blots and splashes are flying on the sheet of the album, is also an art form. "Blotography" also has the name "Splash". Unusual artistic effects can be achieved with these techniques.
Spray paint, aka "Spray". A toothbrush will come to our aid. Gently dip it into the paint and lightly tap with a pen or pencil towards you. A huge number of small droplets remain on the sheet. With this unconventional painting technique, a very realistic winter landscape or distant space with many stars is obtained. "Blotography" will help the young artist populate uninhabited planets of space with funny aliens. One has only to pick up more paint on the brush and let it drain onto a sheet of paper, - it turns out a blot. And now we blow on it, dispersing the rays in different directions. Let's draw a couple of eyes for a dried blot, or two pairs, it's an unknown animal, and we'll send to populate its distant worlds!
An interesting texture can be achieved by using a dry brush. Lightly immerse a dry wide brush in gouache, wipe off excess paint on a jar. We draw with vertical poke movements. The image turns out to be "shaggy" and "prickly", in this way, Christmas trees and hedgehogs, a field with green grass are very realistic. In such an unconventional way in kindergarten, you can draw flowers, for example, asters.
Incredible possibilities of familiar things.
- Bubble.
It turns out that soap bubbles can not only be inflated and burst, but you can also draw with them. In a glass of soapy water, dilute a little paint, take a tube and let bubbles into the glass. Your kids will do this trick with pleasure. Well, there is a lot of bright multi-colored foam, apply a sheet of paper to it, and as soon as the bubbles begin to appear, the paper needs to be removed - the colorful pattern is ready!
- Salt.
Don't be surprised, but salt can be used for more than just cooking. An interesting texture will turn out if the wet drawing is sprinkled with salt, and when the paint dries, just chicken out.
- Sand, beads and various grains are also used to create creative textures. There are several options for using such materials.
- Sprinkle the sheet pre-coated with glue with cereals, sand or beads, and then draw on the textured surface.
- We cover with glue the areas in those places where the drawing will be depicted.
- Paint and dry the necessary materials in advance, and then decorate the drawing with them.
Classics in an unconventional reading
Let's put aside the stamps and salt, wipe the paint-stained pens, get out watercolors and brushes. Boring? Not boring at all, but very interesting, because with the help of classic watercolors we will work wonders!
It is necessary to take thick paper (the best option is a special watercolor paper), wet it so that it gets wet enough. Take some paint on the brush and lightly touch the wet paper with the brush. The movements should be light and smooth, the beauty of the result depends on this. Before your eyes, a drop of paint is spreading in different directions, turning into something amazing! It's a good time to tell your kid about the rules for getting new colors and shades. Now this practice is most evident. The resulting unthinkable divorces will serve as an interesting background for future creative work.
The next unconventional drawing technique that we will consider, also from the category of "miracles nearby", is called "Aquatipia".
This is a painting technique with paints and water, also known as water printing. Just as in the previous method, we need thick paper, we will choose no less traditional paints - gouache, we also need black or any dark ink. Think with the baby what he would like to portray? This method produces flowers unusually beautifully. After the paints dry, paint over the entire sheet with ink, then immerse your work in a bowl of water, and enjoy the wonderful transformations! All the gouache will dissolve, leaving only your drawing on a dark background. What is not magic?
The series of incredible transformations is not over yet! Let's take all the same thick paper, and with wax crayons (if they are not at hand, you can use an ordinary candle) we will apply a drawing or pattern. Next, we apply watercolor paint to the entire sheet (the places treated with wax will not stain). A drawing will appear on a colored watercolor background, which will be a surprise for the kid, because when you draw with colorless chalk on a white sheet, it is rather difficult to imagine the final result. In the end, the magic process can also bring quite practical results.
Making “marbled paper” is an extremely exciting activity that little ones really like: it’s funny to play with things that are not allowed to take at all. For example, Daddy's shaving foam. For 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 a plate, and drip a few bright drops of paint in a random pattern. Using a brush, paint with drops of paint on the foam, creating intricate zigzags and patterns. Here it is - a magical sacrament that will completely absorb a keen baby. And here is the promised practical effect. Apply the sheet to the rainbow foam, and then turn it over so that the foam is on top of the sheet. Remove the foam remaining 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 ink. Once dry, marbled paper can be used in craftwork or as an addition to decor.
There is no limit to creative manifestations
For the guys who have already got acquainted with many interesting techniques and have shown their extraordinary creative abilities, you can offer a rather difficult drawing technique - "scratchboard".
You need thick paper, you need to paint it with wax crayons, preferably in bright colors, then, with a wide brush, cover it with black gouache or ink. If you intend to use gouache, add a little PVA glue so that the dried paint does not crumble. When the ink (or gouache) is dry, the workpiece is ready for further work. Now we take a thin stack (any sharp, non-writing instrument) and start drawing. But drawing this process can only be called conditionally, since the top layer of paint is scraped off. So, stroke by stroke, a bright wax layer appears and is projected into the artist's idea.
For young artists, the technique of drawing with plasticine on glass will be fascinating.
Choose the drawing you like, cover with glass, draw the outline of the drawing on the glass with a black felt-tip pen. Then we proceed to filling the contours with soft plasticine, trying not to protrude over the edge. The seamy side does not look so neat, but a bright and clear picture is visible from the front side. Frame your artwork and use colored cardboard as a background.
There is also a number of non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten that children of middle and senior preschool groups can easily master. For everyday activities, a combination of an applique with a classic pattern may be suitable. The pre-cut elements are glued onto a landscape sheet, and then, using pencils or paints, they give the image a finished look.
One of the available and entertaining techniques is "Front".
We are familiar with this type of fine art since childhood, do you remember hiding a coin under a sheet of paper and shading 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 to be bright and saturated.
We got acquainted with a lot of drawing techniques and already learned a lot, so why not put our knowledge into practice? Using both traditional and non-traditional drawing techniques, they decorate any interior items. Decorative drawing in kindergarten also has an applied character, the child can already decorate, for example, a pencil holder or a clay vase, or can please his mother and create a unique pattern on a cutting board. Just remember that paints for such work should be chosen waterproof: acrylic or oil. To make the result enjoyable longer, cover the finished craft with varnish.
The stained-glass technique is used for interior decoration.
The essence of the technique is to apply an adhesive contour and fill it with paint. There are many options for the execution of this technique, but one of the most interesting is drawing a pattern on the oilcloth, and after drying, the drawing can be removed from the oilcloth and glued to any surface, for example, on glass, - there will be a translucent bright picture.
Let us dwell in more detail on the execution technique itself.
The ideal option would be to use specialized stained glass paints, but if there are none, 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. Select the drawing you like and draw its outline on a transparent oilcloth (you can take a regular file or a transparent plastic folder). It is better to make the contour first with a pencil or felt-tip pen, and then circle either with a ready-made stained-glass contour, or with ordinary PVA glue from a tube with a dispenser. Wait for the outline to dry, then fill with bright colors. After complete drying, you can peel off the drawing 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, this will only be your baby's, the one and only!
- Beforehand, the T-shirt must be fixed in a hoop for embroidery or in a stretcher for drawing on canvas.
- Use a pencil and tracing paper to transfer your favorite cartoon character onto the fabric.
One of the most important steps in this method is the application of a reserving compound, in other words, a protective contour, which 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 drawing and the other over the drawing and iron with an iron.
You can wash such a product, but it is better to manually wash it in cool water. The unique product is ready.
Conclusion
All the considered non-traditional drawing techniques are applicable only to indoor conditions. But what about walks in the summer in the fresh air? Are outdoor games only suitable for outdoor use? No, you can do fine art. Drawing in the summer in kindergarten can be done outdoors, using classic chalk. Drawing on the 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, fence, walls of the house. It's great to see a bright embodiment of fantasy instead of gray asphalt.

1. Organizational part.
Teacher: In the last lesson, you and I learned what coal is and why you need it. But tell me, what else can you draw with a charcoal pencil? (Children's assumptions) To answer this question, we will go on a journey in ... Time Machine! Do you agree? Then let's go. Let's sit back, close our eyes, say the magic words that you know. (Children suggest options)
The teacher opens a laptop, tells and shows a photo.
Informative story.
It was a long time ago. On our green planet, where different animals and birds already lived, a man appeared. Where did he come from? Whether it came from monkeys, whether it came from space - we do not know. But he still appeared. And he was like this, our distant ancestor. (Showing a picture of a primitive man.) The man had neither sharp teeth nor claws, but what can I say - he had neither telephones nor televisions. There was not even a house, dishes. And clothes! See what the ancient man was wearing? (Children: in the skin.) Why did the person dress like that? (Children reflect) Yes, then there were no factories or factories, and a person had to do everything with his own hands. And who would guess why he needs a skin? What are your clothes for? (Children: protection from the cold.) How primitive man escaped from the cold, we guessed. Maybe you can guess what else a person needed to survive? (Guiding questions of the teacher. Answers of the children.) Of course, he needed water, food and shelter. He could drink from a river or stream. What did he eat? (Children: berries, grass, meat).
Game situation.
Well done! Now we will turn into primitive people and go to a forest glade to pick berries. On command - we start picking berries, whoever picks the most - will become the most dexterous berry picker. Bring your loot, put it in a bowl.
Developing conversation.
Where could a primitive man live? (Children: in the cave) But here the man ate. He lay down on a soft skin in a cave and slept. What to do then? You can't listen to music, you can't watch TV, you can't read a book. What to do? (Reflections of children)
- The man began to ... draw! On what? On the wall of the cave. With what? No pencils, no paints. But the coal from the burnt fire leaves a good black mark! (Show of a photo with the image of rock paintings). What and who is not there! What did you see? Children list: trees, people, animals.
Well, the time machine is running out of fuel, it's time to get back!
Guys, let us tell you about our journey the way a primitive man would do it - we will draw what we saw. Do you agree?
2. The practical part.
Then get to work! (Children come to the tables). We will make the paper "old" - we will doubt it. This is how (shows) we will unfold and smooth it out. The paper now looks like the walls of a cave. And here is coal - as in ancient times. Draw them everything you saw, if you want.
3. Independent work of children.
Children draw. The teacher guides the activities of children using advice, guidance, praise.
4. The final part.
Outcome:
Exhibition of children's works. Teacher: What new things have you learned while traveling in a time machine? Guys, is it possible, looking at your drawings, to guess where we traveled? Did you like the trip? We will arrange the drawings as an album "Traveling in a Time Machine".
Children and creativity are inseparable concepts. The child learns the world around him, trying to reflect it in the game, modeling and drawing. After all, at heart, every kid is a singer and musician, artist and sculptor. Children's creative impulses are often associated with artistic activities, and the visual creativity of the child is an ideal opportunity for the manifestation of his imagination. This is an important condition for the normal development of the baby.
Non-traditional drawing techniques for children in kindergarten and school do not mean something complicated. Quite the opposite - such drawing turns artwork into fun fun. It is not at all necessary to have complex skills in using a pencil and a brush. With simple non-traditional drawing techniques, a child is able to create beautiful drawings and paintings, and this will give him an amazing creative experience with an excellent final result. He himself will be drawn to art when he feels that he can create beauty with his own hands.
Unconventional ways of drawing
For children, unconventional painting techniques are a great way to create small masterpieces. It turns out that a palm can turn into a pink elephant, and a simple blot can become a tree, and a carrot with potatoes can surprise with unusual patterns.
For example, kids 3-4 years old you can suggest:
With kids 5-6 years old You can also try:
- picture prints
- plasticine printing
- leaf prints
- hand drawings
- drawing with cotton swabs
- magic strings
- monotype.
And with children 7-8 years you can master more complex techniques:
- drawing with crumpled paper
- painting with soap bubbles
- drawing with salt
- blotography
- plasticineography
- scratchboard
- frottage.
For children, modeling from plasticine is a whole world full of variety and experiments! Under your careful guidance, a child can dazzle all kinds of will become the best guide for creating various fairy-tale characters, animals and plants.
Hand drawing
Pen drawing is the first technique that young children are able to master very early. The drawing turns out quickly - this is extremely important, because kids cannot do one thing for a long time. Dip the baby's palm in the paint and let the baby make an imprint on the surface of the paper. See what it looks like. Ask the crumbs what needs to be finished to get some kind of animal or bird. The missing details can be drawn with your fingers.
Watercolor painting technique on wet paper
To create small masterpieces, you will need a sheet of thick paper, watercolors and a brush. Help your child to moisten the sheet evenly, without puddles. Let him put some paint on the brush and start creating. Each stroke in a new tone spreads over the paper, beautifully passing into another shade. It's time to show your child the color mixing and explain what shades are.
Tell your child that all movements should be done easily and smoothly, there is no need to press the brush into the paper, as many children like to do. A light touch is enough. This technique is good at painting backgrounds. And after drying, you can continue to draw the rest of the drawing.
Drawing in technique Glue pictures
To paint in this style, you need a glue gun. Help your child draw with hot glue the outlines on the paper, inside which the image is filled with paints. Thanks to the glue, paint does not flow outside these contours. It turns out something like a stained glass image. In this technique, you and your child can create a real stained-glass window on glass, but then instead of a simple watercolor, you will need to buy water-based acrylic paints.
Traditionally, on New Year's Eve, kindergartens hold exhibitions of bright handicrafts and creative works of kids that decorate the kindergarten on the most magical days of the New Year's holiday. We offer you the most different.
Drawings in watercolor technique with wax crayons
To draw a picture using this technique, you need: an album sheet, wax crayons, watercolors, a squirrel brush, leaf templates.
Have your little one draw several different leaves on the sheet with your help. The drawing must be arranged according to the size of the leaves - first large, then smaller. Let the leaves overlap each other - this is how it is in nature.
Now take wax crayons and outline the contours of the leaves, for this you need crayons of warm shades: yellow, red, orange, brown, burgundy. You can use several colors in one sheet. Do not forget to draw streaks on each leaf, except for mountain ash
Interesting! Crafts from plasticine. Step-by-step modeling for children
And now it's time to use watercolors - start painting over not the leaves, but the album sheet from the upper left corner. Show your child how to add other colors so that one shade flows smoothly into another without clear boundaries. Thus, we gradually fill our sheet with autumn colors.
Drawing with funny prints
1. Plasticine dies
It is very simple and convenient to make stamps from plasticine - it is enough to give a piece of plasticine the desired shape, decorate with patterns (lines, dots) and paint in the required color.
2. Thread dies
To create interesting "striped dies", you can use threads that need to be tightly wound around an object. Then the threads are dyed with a thick dye in the required color. Now only imagination will tell you how to apply a "striped pattern" to the surface of the paper.
3. Rolled cardboard stamps
By rolling a piece of cardboard into a roll, you can get an original stamp for "roses". And if you cut off the "round" from the toilet paper sleeve and give it the shape of a leaf, then your child can independently create a beautiful composition.
4. Prints "leaves"
This technique is familiar to many. To print a sheet, you can take any pretty sheet of paper and paint on the veined side. Then attach the sheet with the colored side to the paper and iron it. After a few seconds, you can gently lift the leaf - its print will remain on the paper.
5. Prints with potatoes, carrots, apples
For young children, this is a fairly popular technique. You will need any vegetable or fruit and gouache. Then everything is simple - you dip the object in paint and make a print on paper.
Stamps can be made from apples, potatoes, carrots, peppers, and other vegetables or fruits. The easiest way is to make a die from potatoes. If you have metal cookie cutters, simply press the cookie cutter into the potatoes and carefully trim the excess pieces around the edges with a knife.
Painting with soap bubbles
It will be very interesting for the child to draw a picture with soap bubbles. To do this, add any soap solution and paint to a glass of water and make a strong foam with a straw. Carefully put a sheet of paper on the bubbles and wait for the first patterns to appear. You can lift the paper - the bubble patterns are ready.
Drawing with salt
You can use salt in any landscape to give your background a whimsical texture. While the paint has not yet dried, the background must be sprinkled with salt. It absorbs excess water, sticks and creates a very interesting effect. Excess salt should be gently shaken off after drying. In its place, unusual light spots will remain.
There is another unusually interesting option for drawing with salt. To do this, you need to draw a drawing with a pencil, and then circle it with PVA glue. It can be a simple flower, patterns, or geometric shapes. We do not regret the glue. Sprinkle generously with salt, and then gently brush off the excess onto the tray. Now let's add colors - you can paint with a brush, or you can take a pipette and apply the tinted water drop by drop to the drawing. You will be able to see how the droplets spread to create vibrant patterns and shapes.
Drawing with crumpled paper.
Using a crumpled napkin or paper, you can get an unusual texture. There are two ways to do this:
Monotype
This unusual painting technique is based on a unique print that can only be produced in a single copy. Therefore, it is impossible to create two absolutely identical patterns.
Blotography.
It consists in 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. "What does your blot or mine look like?", "Whom or what does it remind you of?" - these questions are very useful because develop thinking and imagination. After that, without forcing the child, but showing, we recommend moving on to the next stage - tracing or finishing the blots. The result can be a whole plot.
Drawing together on a long strip of paper.
By the way, it is useful to change the paper format (i.e. give not only the standard). In this case, a long strip will help two people draw without interfering with each other. You can draw isolated objects or plots, i.e. work nearby. And even in this case, the child is warmer from the elbow of mom or dad. And then it is advisable to move on to collective drawing. Adults and a child agree on who will draw what, so that one plot is obtained.
A jab with a hard, semi-dry brush.
Means of expressiveness: texture of color, color. Materials: hard brush, gouache, paper of any color and size, or a cut silhouette of a fluffy or thorny animal. Method of obtaining the image: the child lowers a brush into the gouache and hits it on the paper, holding it vertically. When working, the brush does not sink into the water. This fills the entire sheet, outline or template. It turns out an imitation of the texture of a fluffy or prickly surface.
Drawing with fingers.
Means of expressiveness: spot, point, short line, color. Materials: bowls with gouache, thick paper of any color, small sheets, napkins. Method of obtaining the image: the child lowers his finger in gouache and applies dots, specks on the paper. Each finger is filled with paint of a different color. After work, the fingers are wiped off with a napkin, then the gouache is easily washed off.
Drawing with the palm of your hand.
Means of expression: spot, color, fantastic silhouette. Materials: wide saucers with gouache, brush, thick paper of any color, large-format sheets, napkins. Method of obtaining an image: a child lowers his palm (the whole brush) into gouache or paints it with a brush (from 5 years old) and makes a print on paper. Draw with both right and left hands, painted in different colors. After work, hands are wiped off with a napkin, then the gouache is easily washed off.
Drawing with a secret in three pairs of hands.
Take a rectangular sheet of paper, 3 pencils. Adults and a child are distributed: who will draw first, who will be the second, who will be the third. The first one begins to draw, and then closes his drawing, bending the leaf on top and leaving a little, some part, to continue (neck, for example). The second, seeing nothing but the neck, naturally continues the torso, leaving only part of the legs visible. The third finishes. Then the whole sheet is opened - and it almost always turns out funny: from the inconsistency of proportions, colors.
Drawing yourself or drawing from life your favorite toys.
Drawing from life develops observation, the ability to depict according to the rules, not to create. draw so that it looks like the original in proportions, shapes, and colors. Suggest drawing yourself first by looking in the mirror. And by all means glancing in the mirror many times. Better yet, show how you adults will draw yourself, by all means looking in the mirror many times. Then let the child choose an object for himself, It can be a favorite doll, bear or car. It is important to learn to observe for a long time, comparing parts of the subject. And further. If a child moves away from nature, brings in something of his own, as a result of which a completely different object or toy will appear, do not be upset. Praise your kid: "You drew a new car today! Probably you want one?" But at the end of such a drawing it is imperative to ask: "How is the drawn car different from this one?" Rolling paper.
Means of expressiveness: texture, volume. Materials: napkins or colored double-sided paper, PVA glue poured into a saucer, thick paper or colored cardboard for the base. The way of obtaining the image: the child crumples the paper in his hands until it becomes soft. Then he rolls a ball out of it. Its sizes can be different: from small (berry) to large (cloud, lump for a snowman). After that, the paper lump is dipped into the glue and glued to the base.
"I paint my mom" ...
It would be nice to continue drawing from life or drawing from memory (family members, relatives and friends can become objects for such an image). As auxiliary material, there can be photographs or conversations about the characteristic features of the appearance of absent relatives ... Photos are taken and examined. There is a conversation: "What is Valya's grandmother? What is her hair? Hairstyle? Favorite dress? Smile?" And the process of co-creation begins. After a while, you can offer to draw girlfriends from memory. When you have collected enough drawings depicting relatives and friends, we advise you to organize a mini-exhibition "My family and friends", where the first portraits of a preschooler are appreciated.
Crumpled paper impression.
Means of expressiveness: spot, texture, color. Materials: a saucer or a plastic box containing a stamp pad made of thin foam rubber impregnated with gouache, thick paper of any color and size, crumpled paper. The way of obtaining the image: the child presses the crumpled paper against a stamp pad with ink and makes an impression on the paper. To get a different color, both the saucer and the crumpled paper are changed. Wax crayons + watercolors.
Means of expressiveness: color, line, spot, texture. Mediums: wax crayons, thick white paper, watercolor, brushes. Image acquisition method: the child draws with wax crayons on white paper. Then he paints the sheet with watercolors in one or more colors. The crayon drawing remains not painted over.
Candle + watercolor.
Means of expressiveness: color, line, spot, texture. Mediums: candle, thick paper, watercolor, brushes. Method of obtaining the image: the child draws with a candle on paper. Then he paints the sheet with watercolors in one or more colors. The candlestick pattern remains white.
Bitmap.
Children like everything unconventional. Drawing with dots refers to unusual, in this case, techniques. For implementation, you can take a felt-tip pen, a pencil, put it perpendicular to a white sheet of paper and start drawing. But here is the best way to get bitmaps with paints. Here's how to do it. A match, stripped of sulfur, is tightly wrapped with a small piece of cotton wool and dipped in thick paint. And then the principle of drawing dots is the same. The main thing is to immediately interest the child. Spray. Means of expressiveness: point, texture. Materials: paper, gouache, hard brush, a piece of thick cardboard or plastic (5x5 cm). Method of obtaining the image: the child draws paint on a brush and hits the brush against the cardboard, which he holds over the paper. Then he paints the sheet with watercolors in one or more colors. Paint splashes onto the paper. Leaf prints.
Means of expressiveness: texture, color. Materials: paper, gouache, leaves of different trees (preferably fallen), brushes. Method of obtaining the image: a child covers a piece of wood with paints of different colors, then applies it with the painted side to the paper to obtain a print. Each time a new sheet is taken. The petioles of the leaves can be painted with a brush.
Carrying out a cycle of classes using a variety of techniques to identify the abilities of children for the time passed, it is clear that children have the ability to work with paints using non-traditional techniques. In children with poorly developed artistic and creative abilities, the indicators are slightly higher than at the beginning of the school year, but due to the use of non-traditional materials, the level of enthusiasm for the topic and technique and the ability to color perception improved.
Foam drawings.
For some reason, we are all inclined to think that if we paint with paints, then we must also use a brush. Not always, the TRIZ members say. Foam rubber can come to the rescue. We advise you to make a variety of different small geometric figures out of it, and then attach them with a thin wire to a stick or pencil (not sharpened). The tool is already ready. Now you can dip it in paint and use the method of stamps to draw red triangles, yellow circles, green squares (all foam rubber, unlike cotton wool, is well washed). At first, children will randomly draw geometric shapes. And then offer to make the simplest ornaments out of them - first from one type of figure, then from two, three.
Mysterious drawings.
Mysterious drawings can be obtained as follows. A cardboard of about 20x20 cm is taken and folded in half. Then a half-woolen or woolen thread about 30 cm long is selected, its end is dipped 8-10 cm in thick paint and clamped inside the cardboard. You should then pass this thread inside the cardboard, and then remove it and open the cardboard. It turns out a chaotic image, which is examined, outlined and completed by adults with children. It is extremely useful to name the resulting images. This complex mental and speech work, combined with visual work, will contribute to the intellectual development of preschool children.
Drawing with crayons.
Preschoolers love variety. These opportunities are provided to us by ordinary crayons, sanguine, coal. Smooth asphalt, porcelain, ceramic tiles, stones - this is the basis on which chalk and coal fit well. So, the asphalt is conducive to a capacious image of plots. They (if there is no rain) can be developed the next day. And then make up stories based on the plots. And on ceramic tiles (which are sometimes stored in the remains somewhere in the pantry), we recommend depicting patterns and small objects with crayons or charcoal. Large stones (such as waves) are asked to decorate them under the image of an animal's head or under a tree stump. It depends on what or whom the stone resembles in shape.
The magic drawing method.
This method is implemented as follows. With the corner of a wax candle, an image is drawn on white paper (a Christmas tree, a house, or maybe a whole plot). Then with a brush, or better with cotton wool or foam rubber, paint is applied on top of the entire image. Due to the fact that the paint does not lie on the bold image with a candle, the drawing seems to appear suddenly in front of the children’s eyes, manifesting itself. You can get the same effect by first painting 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 over a snowman drawn with a candle with blue paint, and a boat with green. Don't worry if candles or soap starts to crumble while painting. It depends on their quality.
Painting small pebbles.
Of course, most often the child depicts large stones on a plane, on paper, less often on asphalt. Plane depiction of a house, trees, cars, animals on paper is not so enticing as creating voluminous creations of your own. In this regard, sea pebbles are ideally used. They are smooth, small and vary in shape. 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 under a frog, another - under a bug, and a wonderful fungus will come out of the third. A bright thick paint is applied to the pebble - and the image is ready. And it is better to finish it like this: after the pebble dries, cover it with colorless varnish. In this case, a voluminous beetle or frog made by children's hands glitters, brightly shimmers. This toy will take part in independent children's games more than once and will be of considerable benefit to its owner.
Nitkography method.
This method exists mainly for girls. But this does not mean that it is not suitable for children of the opposite sex. And it consists in the following. First, a 25x25 cm screen is made of cardboard. Either velvet paper or plain flannel is glued onto the cardboard. It would be nice to prepare a nice bag with a set of woolen or semi-woolen threads of various colors for the screen. This method is based on the following feature: threads with a certain percentage of wool are attracted to flannel or velvet paper. You just need to attach them with light movements of the index finger. Interesting stories can be prepared from such threads. Imagination, a sense of taste develops. Especially girls learn to skillfully pick colors. Some thread colors are suitable for a light flannel, and completely different ones for a dark one. This is how the gradual path to women's craft begins, needlework, which is very necessary for them.
Monotype method.
Two words about this unfortunately rarely used method. And in vain. Because it harbors a lot of things that are tempting for preschoolers. In short, this is an image on cellophane, which is then transferred to paper. On smooth cellophane, I paint with paint with a brush, or a match with a cotton ball, or with my finger. The paint should be thick and vibrant. And immediately, until the paint has dried, turn the cellophane image down onto thick white paper and, as it were, blot the drawing, and then lift it up. It turns out two pictures. Sometimes the image remains on cellophane, sometimes on paper.
Drawing on wet paper.
Until recently, it was believed that you can draw only on dry paper, because the paint is sufficiently diluted with water. But there is a number of objects, plots, images that are best drawn on wet paper. You need ambiguity, vagueness, for example, if a child wants to depict the following themes: "City in fog", "I had dreams", "It is raining", "Night city", "Flowers behind a 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 lump of cotton wool in clean water, squeeze it out and run it either over the entire sheet of paper, or (if so required) only on a separate part. And the paper is ready for the production of obscure images.
Fabric images.
In the bag we collect the remains of fabrics of all kinds of patterns and various qualities. Both chintz and brocade will come in handy, as they say. It is very important to show with concrete examples how a drawing on a fabric, as well as its dressing, can help to depict something in a plot very brightly and at the same time easily. Here are some examples. So, one of the fabrics depicts flowers. They are cut out along the contour, glued (only with paste or other good glue), and then paint on a table or a vase. A capacious colorful image is obtained. There are fabrics that can serve well as a house or body of an animal, or a beautiful umbrella, or a hat for a doll, or a handbag.
Volumetric application.
Obviously, children love to do applique work: cut and paste something, getting a lot of pleasure from the process itself. And you need to create all the conditions for them. Along with the flat application, teach them how to make volumetric: the volumetric is better perceived by the preschooler and reflects the world around them more realistically. In order to obtain such an image, it is necessary to crumple the applicative colored paper in children's hands, then slightly straighten and cut the required shape. After that, just stick it on and, if necessary, finish drawing individual parts with a pencil or felt-tip pen. Make, for example, a turtle, so beloved by children. Remember the brown paper, straighten slightly, cut out an oval shape and glue, and then paint on the head and legs.
We draw using postcards.
In fact, almost every home has a ton of old postcards. Go through old postcards with the children, teach you how to cut out the necessary images and stick them to the place, in the plot. A bright factory image of objects and phenomena will give even the most simple unpretentious drawing a completely artistic design. How can a three-, four- and even five-year-old child draw a dog and a beetle? No. But to the dog and the bug, he will draw the sun, rain and he will be very happy. Or if, together with the children, you cut out from a postcard and stick a fairy-tale house with a grandmother in the window, then the preschooler, focusing on his imagination, knowledge of fairy tales and visual skills, will undoubtedly finish something to him.
Learning to make a background.
Usually children draw on white paper. So you can see it more clearly. It's faster this way. But some plots require a background. And, I must say, all children's works look better against a background made in advance. Many children make the background with a brush, moreover, an ordinary one, a small one. Although there is a simple and reliable way: to make the background with cotton wool or a piece of foam rubber dipped in water and paint.
The concept itself explains the meaning of this method: several of the above are collected in it. In general, ideally, the following seems important to us: it is good when a preschooler is not only familiar with various image techniques, but also does not forget about them, and uses it to the right place, fulfilling a given goal. For example, one of the children 5-6 years old decided to draw summer, and for this he uses a bitmap (flowers), and the child draws the sun with his finger, he will cut fruits and vegetables from postcards, he will depict the sky and clouds with fabrics, etc. There is no limit to improvement and creativity in the visual activity. The English teacher-researcher Anna Rogovin recommends using everything that is at hand for drawing exercises: draw with a rag, paper napkin (folded many times); paint with dirty water, old tea leaves, coffee grounds, squeeze from berries. It is also useful to paint cans and bottles, spools and boxes, etc.
Activities in the visual arts provide an opportunity to enjoy positive emotions, to feel like the master of your creativity. Children study and learn to know the world around them by copying it. Their drawings reflect a personal attitude to everything that happens around. A variety of forms, methods and techniques of work on visual activity develops the artistic abilities of the child. This article presents some types of non-traditional drawing techniques.
What is unconventional painting?
This is an art that is not based on traditions, does not adhere to them, but is distinguished by its unbeatable and original nature. Drawing in an unconventional style captivates, mesmerizes, delights and surprises children. After all, unusual materials are used here, and most importantly, there is no place for the word "no". You can portray what you want, how you want and what you want. Moreover, it is not forbidden to come up with a new technique for depicting an image yourself.
Non-traditional drawing techniques in schools and kindergartens teach children to express their ideas freely, without any restrictions. Childhood fears recede, self-confidence appears. The unusual thing about unconventional drawing is that it allows children to quickly get the desired result.
What is the importance of image technique when creating a child's drawing?
In the creativity of the children, the world around them opens up differently each time. It depends on the inner state of the little artist: on his desires and feelings. Children are more prone to emotions. In their imagination, such images arise that defy any explanation. They can paint a red elephant, yellow rain, a running house.
Why does a child want to create, what prompts him to do this? First of all, of course, the imaginary image in his mind. At first glance, everything seems to be simple: I saw and painted. But in fact, this path is very difficult for a child, and requires a lot of knowledge and impressions from him. These are both emotional experiences and the ability to be surprised, to observe.
Painting. Unconventional technique. Senior group
Drawing a drawing on paper with pencils or paints helps your child prepare for the learning process at school. Indeed, during classes, children show their individuality. Correctly organized drawing lessons develop the child's intellectual abilities, correct mental processes. And this is no coincidence. In such classes, preschoolers have the opportunity to confidently assess their strengths, which is very important for the future school team. The development of fine motor skills of the hands is facilitated by the techniques of non-traditional drawing. Children of the senior group of kindergarten learn to paint with fingers, wax, palms, foam rubber, watercolors. The guys draw with great interest by the method of blotting, point images, prints, spraying.
Blotography using thread
You don't need a brush to paint a drawing using this technique. The unconventional drawing technique, the photo of which is presented to your attention, is so attractive because there are no strictly designated canons here. For example, this blot must be drawn without fail in a round shape. Using the techniques of non-traditional drawing in the classroom, there are ample opportunities for children's imagination.
So, you need threads, paints and white paper to work. First, the thread should be dyed in the color that you like best. Then lay it out on a prepared sheet of paper in a chaotic manner, but so that the tip remains behind the field. Cover with another sheet on top, and pull the thread. You will get bizarre spots and lines. With the help of a pencil, they are easily transformed into the desired image.
Splashing
Non-traditional drawing techniques for children are very diverse. One of these is splattering, or splattering. In this technique, the drawing should be done with a stiff brush or a toothbrush. To get some kind of image, first you need to dip the brush in gouache, and then spray it all over the sheet. Small droplets are obtained, which merge in places into large spots. It is enough to take a pencil and draw your favorite character or object. If a brush is dipped in toothpaste and sprayed, it will snow.
Monotype
There are a wide variety of non-traditional drawing techniques. Monotype is one of them. This is perhaps the most magical genre of drawing: neither painting, nor graphics, but something in between a trick and a beautiful fairy tale. Children's non-traditional drawing techniques provide an opportunity for free self-expression. This drawing method is very tempting for preschoolers, although it is rarely used in art classes. What is it?
This technique is used if you want to get a specular reflection. With its help, a reflection on the water is drawn, objects located symmetrically. First, the drawing is depicted on smooth cellophane. To do this, you need a soft brush or a match wrapped in cotton wool. As a last resort, you can draw with your finger. The paint should be used bright and thick so that it does not spread. The further action is as follows: while the paint has not dried, the cellophane is turned over onto a white sheet of thick paper with a pattern down and, as it were, blotted. Then, carefully, so as not to smudge, rises. It turns out two identical drawings: one on paper, the other on cellophane.
Scratchboard
This word translated from French means "scratch, scratch", hence another name for this technique - scratching. To complete a drawing using this technique, you need to fill the cardboard with paraffin, apply ink, wait until it dries completely and scratch out the desired drawing.
Aquatipia
Drawing in this technique is done with water. To do this, a large gouache drawing is depicted on thick paper. When the paint is dry, the entire drawing is covered with black ink and appears in the water. The gouache will be washed off with water, but the mascara will remain. Unconventional painting techniques work wonders. Flowers painted this way are especially beautiful.
Water print
This is a kind of drawing method. For work, you need a bath of water. Paint of different colors is poured directly onto its surface, and an album sheet of paper is placed on top of it. The result will be an image, it can be completed with strokes with a brush.
Painting with a candle or wax crayons
There are many names for non-traditional painting techniques. One of them is candle painting. To do this, you need to paint a sheet of white paper with pencils of different colors. Then, with a candle, draw houses, stars or some other object or image. After that, paint over our drawing with watercolors.
Dot drawing
Non-traditional drawing techniques are very popular with children. Writing a drawing with dots is an unusual technique. For this, colored pencils or felt-tip pens are taken and dots are drawn on a white sheet of paper. But it is better to do it with paints.
The match is cleaned of sulfur, a piece of cotton is wound on the tip, dipped in paint and dots are applied.
Drawings with foam rubber
Many people associate painting with a paintbrush. But this is not entirely correct judgment. Indeed, instead of a brush, you can cut geometric shapes from foam rubber, attach them to an unsharpened pencil or any even stick. The homemade brush is ready. Then each figure is dipped in paint and stamped on paper. Thus, circles, triangles, rhombuses are obtained. You can make an ornament from them.
Chalk drawing
Children love to be varied in their lives. This can be done using ordinary chalk or coal. They fit well on asphalt, ceramic tiles, stones, porcelain. Capacious images of plots are good for drawing on the asphalt.
If the work is not finished, you can continue the next day. Of course, it can be disappointing if it rains and wipes out the whole drawing. Children compose whole stories based on the plots drawn. It is convenient to depict small objects and patterns on ceramic tiles. But on large stones - the heads of fabulous animals.
Imprint
The usual material in use - potatoes - can be used to depict animals on paper. To do this, you need to make a signet out of the vegetable. The potatoes are cut in half and an animal or object is drawn on the smooth side with a pen. Then, with the tip of a knife, carefully cut along the contour to a height of 1.5 centimeters, attach the handle and the seal is ready. The child applies a signet to the foam rubber with paint, then the print is applied to the paper. If the color of the paint needs to be changed, another seal and foam rubber are taken. This drawing technique is especially popular with children. After all, one and the same object can be depicted several times, and make up a whole composition of it.
Leaf prints
Conducting classes with children, you can apply a wide variety of non-traditional drawing techniques at a preschool educational institution. In early spring, when young sticky leaves bloom on the trees, and in late autumn, when they change color and fall off, the child watches them with interest. Therefore, when in the classroom, children are invited to print a real leaf of a birch or maple, they do it with great pleasure. First you need to cover the sheet with paint, and then attach the painted side to white paper. Take a different sheet of paper each time. This will make the veins print better. If there is no petiole, it doesn't matter. It can be easily painted with a brush.
Bloat paint
If you need to depict shrubs, trees, unusual fabulous plants or corals, use this technique. You need to drip paint onto a sheet of paper and use a cocktail straw to inflate it in accordance with the intended image. The drawing is bright and expressive. This technique is especially suitable for those children who find it difficult to express their creativity through the line.
Drawing on wet paper
The types of non-traditional drawing techniques are so diverse that for each child you can individually choose the most interesting and exciting method for him. One of these is the image of a drawing on wet paper. The fact is that until recently it was considered possible to draw only on dry paper, since paint diluted with water moisturizes it anyway.
But there are such plots, images, objects that need to be vague and uncertain. For example, fog, a dream, night. However, the paper should not be excessively damp, otherwise the drawing will not work. You do not need to dip all the paper in water. It is enough to wet a piece of cotton wool, squeeze it out and run it over the surface of the sheet or its individual parts. The paper is ready for work, you can start drawing images.
Drawing with hands
Children of the senior group of kindergarten are happy to learn this method of non-traditional drawing. Indeed, the work uses fingers, which the child lowers into gouache and begins to draw with them without any brush. Each finger can be dipped in a different color paint. Thus, a whole set of brushes is obtained. And if you paint your palm with paint and put it on the paper, you will get an imprint on it.
The guys themselves give the image the desired shape. They easily turn him into a dragon, a butterfly, who has enough imagination for that. Performing this task, children make different movements with their hands: blot, swat, smear.
Drawing with a cloth swab. Master class on the topic
This form of conducting classes in kindergarten attracts children, their parents and educators. It is with great pleasure that those who wish attend the master class. Non-traditional drawing techniques are always interesting for their mystery and novelty. If the theme of the master class is to designate the drawing of a landscape in black and white, then for work you will need gouache of the appropriate color, pieces of cotton fabric, a white sheet of paper, PVA glue, colored cardboard, scissors.
So, let's start working. We wrinkle the fabric and make a tampon out of it so that it is convenient to hold it. This will be your brush. We dip it in black paint and draw a horizontal line on a sheet of paper. It is the horizon, that is, it separates the sky from the earth. The higher this line, the more space opens up to the eye.
We continue drawing with an unconventional technique. We will depict a forest at a distant distance. To do this, we print shrubs and trees from the horizon line upwards with chaotic damping movements. You should always remember that objects in the foreground are always larger and more distinct than those in the far. This rule also applies to non-traditional painting techniques. The pictures then turn out beautiful, the objects depicted on them become similar to the real ones.
Now fill in the foreground and draw the coastline by pulling from left to right. We print the bushes with the same swab, then use the smearing method to draw clouds and clouds in the sky. Next, we depict ripples on the lake, the sun and its reflection in transparent water. Drawing with unconventional technique is over. The picture is ready.
