Summary of a lesson using non-traditional drawing techniques for children 4-5 years old. GCD "Hen with chicks."
I offer a drawing lesson using non-traditional drawing techniques. This lesson is intended for preschool teachers working with children junior-middle groups preschool age.
Target: introduce children to the unconventional technique of drawing with fingers and palms.
Tasks: develop a caring attitude towards surrounding living objects. Develop fine motor skills and coordination of movements. Continue to introduce the properties of paints and color. Improve artistic skills. Draw objects evenly across the entire sheet. Develop aesthetic perception, accuracy and creative imagination.
Preliminary work.
Reading stories, nursery rhymes, fairy tales, asking riddles about the chicken. Looking at illustrations. Outdoor games: "Mother hen and chicks", "Fox in the hen house"
Material for the lesson. Sheets of white paper, yellow paint poured into a convenient flat container, additional red paint, brushes, cotton and wet wipes. Hen and chicks masks, illustration of a hen and chicks.
Progress of the lesson.
The teacher puts on a chicken mask and invites the children to play the game “Hen and Chicks.” The children put on chicken masks.
The teacher reads T. Volgina’s poem Chickens: “The chicken went out for a walk, to nibble some fresh grass, and behind her the children were yellow chickens. Co-co, co-co, co-co! Don’t go far. Row with your paws, look for grains.” Children walk around the group, flapping their arms like wings, squatting, pecking at grains, and repeating the movements after the teacher.
Educator
The cloud in the sky is frowning, the rain is gathering. Run up to me quickly, I will shelter you from the rain. These are such good chickens! Well done!
The teacher shows the children the illustration “Hen with Chicks” prepared earlier.
Asking questions. Who is shown in the picture? What chicken? What kind of chickens? Listens to children's answers and praises them.
Yes, guys, the hen takes care of and protects the chickens, teaches them to find food and hide in case of danger. And the chickens are small and defenseless. They obey and love their mother.
Guys, do you want to draw a hen with chicks? I invite you to come to the tables.
Educator
Guys, be careful, I will show you how to draw a hen and chicks using your palm and fingers. I dip my palm in yellow paint and apply it carefully to a sheet of paper. I'll press it and remove it. You see, my palm is covered in paint. You need to wipe it with a napkin.
Now I’ll take a brush and paint the chicken’s comb, beak, eyes and legs. What an unusual chicken this turned out to be! The hen is calling the chicks! We will draw them with our finger. I will dip my finger in yellow paint and also apply it to the leaf. I'll try this a few more times. I wipe my finger with a napkin and use a brush to paint on the chickens’ eyes, beak and legs. And this is the picture we got!
Now you can draw a hen with chicks using your palms and fingers. Draw carefully. Apply paint well to your palm and finger so that the drawing is bright.
The teacher praises and helps children who need help.
Educator Well done boys! These are some wonderful hens and chicks you drew!
I propose to make an exhibition of your drawings, and we’ll call it “Hen with Chicks.
Children admire each other's work.
The lesson is over.

GCD move:
Children sitting on a rug
For starters, you guys
Guess the riddle!
There's already a smell of rain in the air,
It's getting colder every day.
The trees change their outfit,
The leaves are slowly losing their leaves.
It’s clear to everyone how twice makes two -
Came...
Yesterday, on a walk, we collected autumn leaves. Who remembers why?
Who can say what else you can do with leaves?
Let's play the game “Which tree is the leaf from?” »
And guys, you can draw with these leaves! Imagine!
Have you ever seen pictures of leaves?
Do you want to try to create such a picture yourself?
- Just imagine how surprised your parents will be when you tell them that the picture was not painted with brushes.
Let's paint a picture with leaves and surprise your moms and dads!
What do we need for our wonderful painting?
- Guys, remember autumn paintings what artists did we look at?
What do they depict in landscapes?
Let's name what colors artists use to paint autumn paintings.
What colors do we lack to paint a landscape? Where will we get them from?
Now we need to determine what we will draw and make a sketch.
Let's distribute the work. Who will paint the sky? Forest? Grass?
But now it’s time to turn into real artists to paint an autumn landscape.
– In front of you is a board with paper on which tree trunks are drawn. Use cotton pads to paint tree trunks.
Well done!
You have leaves on your trays, take one of them and look at it.
-What does the leaf look like? (on a small tree)
– There is a large vein running through the middle of the leaf, what do you think it is? (trunk)
Small veins run from the trunk in different directions, what can they be compared to? (with branches)
– What does the leaf itself remind you of? (tree crown)
Now watch carefully, I will show you how to draw the forest and the sky - we will make stamps with leaves:
– you need to take a piece of paper, put it on the oilcloth, apply paint with a brush, leaving no empty spaces;
– take the leaf by the stem and place the painted side on the tinted sheet, press it, trying not to move it from its place;
– then take it by the stalk and carefully remove it from the leaf, place it on a tray;
We will draw the grass by drawing straight lines with the leaves.
And fallen leaves using the “poking” method with crumpled leaves.
Before we get started, let's warm up a little. Take a piece of paper in each hand and repeat after me.
Physical education lesson “We are autumn leaves”
We are leaves, we are leaves,
We are autumn leaves.
We were sitting on a branch,
The wind blew and they flew.
We flew, we flew,
And then we got tired of flying.
The wind stopped blowing
We all sat down in a circle.
The wind suddenly blew again
And he quickly blew away the leaves.
Independent activity to the music of P. I. Tchaikovsky from the album “Seasons” “Autumn”, children begin to draw.
Bottom line
- Let's see what we got. Like?
You worked really hard, you created a wonderful landscape!
I think your moms and dads will like it too.
- It was difficult to?
Shall we also draw leaves?

How is this time
Tell me, they call it... (Spring)
That's right, well done! Spring will come to us very soon. And although there is still snow outside, the sun is shining warmer and brighter. Tell me what holiday we celebrate in the first month of spring, March (children's answers). That's right, well done! This is the holiday of March 8th. On this day we congratulate mothers, grandmothers, sisters and give them gifts and flowers, but what is especially dear to mother is a gift that you can make with your own hands. And in order to understand what we will do today, please listen to the poem:
We'll draw for mom
Beautiful flowers.
We will draw it ourselves:
And me, and you, and us!
It's very simple -
draw flowers,
And if you want,
Try again.
Painting with yellow paint
And red, blue.
We will give you different flowers
We are dear to mother.
Guys, tell me, what gifts will we make for our mothers? (children's answers) That's right, well done! Today I invite you to draw flowers. But before we get started, let’s remember what a flower is made of (pistil - the middle of the flower, petals, stem, leaf).
So we told you what parts a flower consists of, and now let’s try to compose it.
(Children using a flannelgraph to make a flower)
Guys, tell me, how can you draw? (children's answers) Well done, you named everything correctly, and I want to invite you to draw with stamps today, but first, let’s rest a little.
Flowers grow in the meadow
Unprecedented beauty. (Stretching - arms to the sides s.)
Flowers reach for the sun.
Stretch with them too. (Stretching - arms up X.)
The wind blows sometimes
But that's not a problem. (Children wave their hands, imitating the wind.)
Flowers bend down
The petals drop. (Tilts.)
And then they get up again
And they still bloom.
Now let’s sit down at our jobs. You have sponge stamps and three colors of paint on your tables. Please tell me what colors these are? (children's answers) That's right, well done!
Since we will be drawing with a soft sponge, there is no need to press hard on the stamp. We take the stamp, dip it in yellow paint and make an imprint in the upper part of the middle of the sheet. Look, did we get a flower? (children's answers)
Of course - no, we only drew the middle, and now let's try to add the petals. To do this, take the next stamp and dip it in red paint. Then we begin to place prints around the middle of the flower, first from the top, then from the bottom, left, right, and so on.
Now we need to draw the stem and leaves. We will draw them with cotton swabs. Please tell me what color the stem and leaves of the flower are (children's answers) That's right, well done! Dip a cotton swab into green paint and draw a stem with a smooth movement, after which we finish drawing leaves on the stem.
What beautiful flowers you have created. They are all bright and you can immediately see that they were made with love. And your moms will love them. And now I suggest you collect our flowers into a beautiful bouquet.
To summarize: Guys, please tell me what we did today? (children's answers) For whom did we draw such wonderful flowers? (children's answers) What wonderful holiday is our creativity connected with today? (children's answers) Did you like it? (children's answers)
I also really liked it, I was glad to meet you, I want to thank you for your joint work and give you these funny balls.
Children develop an interest in drawing early age. Kids enjoy running a brush over paper, smearing paint, making dots and blots. At the age of 2–3 years, a child begins to distinguish the outlines of some objects in his scribbles, and by the age of 4 he has a desire to consciously depict something. Drawing with pencils, felt-tip pens, brushes and paints requires confident use of tools to obtain an accurate rendering of the contours and details of objects. Children of primary and secondary preschool age form and develop the ability to draw, practice techniques in simple tasks. Non-traditional drawing techniques allow you to create visual image on paper with simple movements and quickly, which gives the child positive emotions and satisfaction with the result of creative activity.
Non-traditional drawing techniques in classes in the middle group
Children 4–5 years old often experience uncertainty, sometimes even fear, before drawing classes. The skill of using a pencil and brush is still developing; form-building movements are rarely accurate. In basic drawing classes, middle group students learn to draw vertical and horizontal lines with a pencil, a continuous line with a brush, draw simple shapes and practice the skill of painting within a contour. Children's attention is unstable, they get tired quickly, monotonous activities reduce interest in the work being done. Drawing in unconventional ways surprises children and activates their attention to creating images on paper using unusual objects and tools. Watching the teacher draw with a fork or toothbrush, the children experience delight and a desire to draw as well.
During drawing classes using non-traditional techniques, developmental and educational tasks must be performed that are appropriate age characteristics middle group children:
- Development of fine motor skills of the hands. Performing actions with various instruments develops the child’s hand; on the tips of the fingers and the surface of the palms, nerve endings are excited, which send an impulse to the cerebral cortex - the thinking and speech centers are activated.
- Development of spatial thinking and visual perception of objects. The child learns to find an object in the image individual parts and forms that he can convey in the process of drawing on paper. By making blots, drawing with wax, and making prints, the children consolidate the ability to determine the center of the sheet and develop a sense of composition and rhythm.
- Training in working with a variety of materials. During the classes, children will learn that images can be created not only with the usual paints and pencils on a white sheet of paper. Everyday objects, natural and waste material, cardboard and colored paper.
- Activation of imagination and the formation of interest in independently thinking through a plan. If drawing classes in non-traditional ways are carried out as part of the functioning of an additional education circle, it is recommended to arrange a rack with signed boxes in the room where the students study. As children master the skills of various techniques, they gain access to a variety of materials. Students in the middle group can be given a choice of tools with which they want to draw a picture on the topic of the lesson. You can allow children to take turns choosing an object that has not previously been studied as part of non-traditional drawing: at the beginning of the lesson, the student chooses an object, the teacher tells how to create an image with it.
- Creation Have a good mood, developing self-confidence, relieving tension and fears. Drawing in non-traditional ways with children of the middle group contains game elements at its core: actions are accompanied by sentences (“Rain-rain, drip-drip-drip!” - dots are put cotton swab. “One is an apple, two is an apple, then there will be compote!” - prints are made with an apple slice, etc.), creating drawings is a solution to a problem situation (dandelions do not bloom on a poster with a picture of a lawn, and children draw flowers on it with a poke), etc.
- Formation of interest in collective activities. Children 4–5 years old do not yet know how to work harmoniously in pairs or groups. In the middle group, children learn to think through an individual plan. But the students are happy to complete simple tasks together. The teacher announces the task, the children will perform the same actions on a common sheet of paper (whatman paper or half-whatman paper). For example, in the “Autumn Forest” lesson, the task is given to draw the crowns of trees with a piece of foam rubber. The guys sit down common table, on which lies whatman paper depicting bare trunks and branches of trees. Everyone chooses a tree, takes a piece of foam rubber and paints the leaves with yellow, orange, brown and red paints. At the end of such classes, the teacher must draw the children’s attention to the fact that such a complete and beautiful picture was obtained due to the fact that everyone worked well.
- Development of aesthetic taste. The technique of non-traditional drawing teaches children to create texture of an object, imitation of animal fur or bird plumage using non-classical techniques. Children develop the ability to see beauty in the unusual. Shapeless prints of a foam sponge or a poke with a hard brush look organic in the finished work. In the process of drawing, children develop the ability to combine colors in pattern elements and begin to select solutions for creating an image on a colored background.
In drawing classes using non-traditional techniques, it is necessary to observe the principle of continuity of knowledge. By creating images with unusual objects or non-classical techniques, the children in their works consolidate and improve the skills acquired in regular classes: they outline the outline of an object with a brush or pencil for further drawing in an unconventional way; decorate the picture with appliqué elements (paper or plasticine); complete the elements of the subject as usual; learn to paint the background.
Finger painting (fingergraphy)
Until school age (7 years), the leading processes through which a child studies objects and phenomena of the surrounding world remain visual and tactile sensations. In the younger groups, finger painting was both a game and a transitional stage to the classical drawing technique; the children mostly filled in printed pictures with multi-colored dots. In the middle group, students form and develop the skill of drawing various elements with their fingers: dots, spots, strokes, lines. It’s fun to intentionally get dirty with paint, smearing paint with your fingers is a special feeling, creating an image with strokes, rather than just painting, is satisfying with the result. During classes, special finger paints can be used: they are hypoallergenic and safe if they get into the mouth, and have a light consistency. Traditionally, in the middle group they paint with gouache, but it is possible to paint with fingers using watercolor paints: they are not as thick as gouache, but you need to dip your finger in a glass of water before picking up paint, or first drop clean water with a brush into the cells with watercolors.
With students in the middle group, you can try finger painting using diagrams. Attached to the board step-by-step instruction, how to use prints and add pencil squiggles to draw an image of a person or animal. The teacher voices each stage, demonstrates its implementation, and the children repeat. Maps of step-by-step drawing pictures with fingers are presented in numerous manuals for parents and teachers. preschool education(for example, in the book “Print, dot, stroke. Drawing with fingers” by Ilona Molnar).
Fingertip drawing technique:
- The child dips his finger into a jar or bowl with gouache paint.
- Each finger is painted with a different color.
- The child draws with his fingertips on a sheet of paper, re-painting the desired color if necessary.
- At the end of the work, wash your fingers with soap, the gouache is easily washed off.

Drawing with palms
Painting with palms, like with fingertips, involves imprinting and smearing paint. Drawing options in this technique for middle school students: “Make a palm print and complete the drawing to make a bird, octopus, fish, etc.” (paint additional elements guys can use a brush or a finger), “Complete the picture with handprints to make it…” (handprints become leaves on tree branches, flowers in a vase, hedgehog needles).
Palm painting technique:
- The child puts his hand in a saucer of paint. In the middle group, children should learn to apply paint to their palm using a brush held with the other hand; this skill is practiced in classes on the topics “Bullfinch”, “Titmouse”, “Butterfly”, when the palm print should be multi-colored.
- The palm and fingers are pressed tightly onto a sheet of paper to make an impression. You can make circular, vertical or horizontal movements with your palm according to your design.
- At the end of work, wash your hands with soap.

Combination of fingerprinting techniques with palm painting
For pupils of the middle group, tasks are offered on drawing an object composition or a complex image using palms and fingers. First, handprints are made to indicate large details or the basis of the design, then additional elements are drawn with the fingers. A combination of finger painting and palm painting techniques is used in tasks on the topics “Fairytale Tree”, “Swans”, “Funny Octopuses”, “Fishes”. In these tasks, children develop the ability to find the center of a composition, combine various finger painting techniques, colors and shades of paint to accurately convey the image.

Poking drawing
The poking method is great for simulating fluffy and prickly objects or objects. During the lesson you will need sheets of paper of any color or shaped blanks in the form of animals, brushes with stiff bristles, gouache, a glass of water, and napkins. Poke drawing classes are held on the topics “Cat”, “Christmas tree”, “Hedgehog”, “Dandelions”, “Bunny in winter”.
Poking technique:
- A dry brush is placed in a jar of gouache and paint is drawn up.
- Holding the brush vertically, hit the paper with it - you get a poke.
- Before picking up paint of a different color, the brush should be rinsed in a glass and blotted well with a napkin. The poke is made only with a semi-dry brush.
- The outline of the depicted item or object is filled with pokes; the details necessary according to the plan can be drawn with an ordinary brush.
"Fluffy kitten"
The guys pick up gouache with a hard brush and draw with a poke on paper. The process of drawing with a poke. The guys draw a muzzle, paws of a kitten, a bowl with a simple brush. Examples of work
Monotype
Monotype is a drawing technique by imprinting part of an image. This method of drawing is considered simple, but is suitable for classes in every group; older preschoolers draw landscape monotypes using various colors and shades in one work. Drawing with monotype improves the ability to find the middle of an object and develops a sense of symmetry.
Monotype technique:
- A sheet of paper is folded in the middle.
- Spots are drawn on one part of the paper using paints of different colors.
- The sheet is folded and ironed with the palm of your hand.
- The sheet opens and the resulting image can be decorated using a brush and paints.
"Butterfly"
Spots are applied to one part of the sheet with the middle marked. The process of drawing spots in different colors. The sheet of paper is folded along the fold line and unfolded. The abdomen and antennae are completed with a brush.
Using the monotype technique, you can create not only a symmetrical image, but also a drawing with two identical objects. In this case, the entire object is drawn on one half of the paper and imprinted on the other half of the sheet in a mirror image.
Drawing with a toothbrush
The technique of drawing with a toothbrush is simple: the guys put paint on the bristles and draw lines on a sheet of paper in accordance with the design. It is recommended to combine these drawing classes in the middle group with other non-traditional drawing techniques (finger, cotton swabs) or appliqué elements.
"Herringbone"
A triangle of colored paper is glued onto a sheet - a trunk. We pick up paint with a toothbrush. We draw pine needles with straight lines. Finished work decorate with sequins
Spray
Children become familiar with the spraying technique in younger groups: they pick up paint with a toothbrush or comb, direct it onto a sheet of paper and, by running a pencil over the bristles/teeth, they get colored splashes. In the middle group, the ability to create drawings using multi-layer spraying is developed.
Multi-layer spray technique:
- Stencils are used to create an image. In classes to introduce this technique, stencils are attached to a sheet of paper with paper clips.
- Paint is drawn onto the brush and splashed on top of a sheet of paper.
- The next stencil according to the plan is applied, splashes of a different shade are made.
- The stencils are removed to create a complex image that imitates the volume of an object or a composition with foreground and background.
"Winter forest"
Stencils: snowdrifts, tree trunks and crowns, snowflakes Tools for creating spray paints and paints diluted with water First layer Second layer Third layer View of the design after removing the stencils
Drawing with a sponge or piece of foam rubber
The technique of painting with a sponge or foam rubber is based on the formation of the skill of printing with paint. Foam rubber prints create the texture of an object; they are used to draw animal fur, fluffy bunches of flowers, clouds, tree crowns, etc. For classes, you can purchase sponges for drawing in this technique, or together with your children you can make a simple and easy-to-print tool: a piece The foam is grabbed with a clothespin, which will act as a handle.
"Chick"
A piece of foam rubber is cut from the sponge 
We grab the foam rubber with a clothespin (the guys perform this action independently) 
We put paint on the foam rubber and print in a vertical motion 
Draw a chicken 
Add details with a brush
Printing with natural materials
Drawing with prints is a simple way of drawing: paint is drawn or applied with a brush onto the printed surface of an object, and with a vertical movement we place the print on a sheet of paper. For students in the middle group, tasks on creating a composition from prints using classical drawing techniques are suitable. For example, for the task “Cooking compote,” the children use a brush to draw the outlines of a pan, within which they will place multi-colored prints of half an apple. Options natural material for printing: leaves, flat flowers (daisies, daisies), shells, cut cucumbers, apples, lemons.
"Vegetable salad"
For printing you will need onions and cucumbers 
Paint a salad bowl with a brush 
We collect paint with an onion and apply it to the sheet. 
Onion prints

Salad ready
Drawing with cotton swabs
In the younger groups, the guys tried to draw with cotton swabs: they picked up paint and decorated paper blanks or an image on a sheet of paper with dots (a Christmas tree, a sundress, a teapot). For students in the middle group, the task becomes more complicated: they develop the ability to create an image with a cotton swab on clean slate paper. The children draw with dots, spots, strokes, various lines and simple geometric shapes (rings, circles). Drawing with dots using cotton swabs will be of particular importance when introducing the pointillism technique in older groups.
"Rowan Branch"
To work you need several cotton swabs, watercolor or gouache 
The branch is drawn with lines 
Berries are drawn in spots 
Bunches of rowan berries are drawn 
Leaves are drawn with strokes 
The cores of the berries are drawn with dots 
Rowan branch is ready
Drawing with cotton pads
Cotton pads in non-traditional drawing classes can be used as a tool for working with gouache, or can be used as an unusual material for the basis of a drawing. Draw with cotton pads, applying them to a sheet of paper with the entire surface, folded in half or into a quarter.
"Flower"
The cotton pad is folded to obtain the desired shape of the part, paint is drawn up. Prints are made with a cotton pad according to plan. Elements are drawn with a brush.
"Balloons"
Creating a picture background - sky 
Cotton pads - balls are glued 
Drawing on cotton pads 
Patterns on cotton pads 
The threads of the balls are finished with a brush
Drawing with a fork
Another option for printing with an unusual object is drawing with a fork (metal or plastic). The gouache is poured into a flat plate, the flat surface of a fork is used to scoop up paint and make prints on the paper.
"Tulips"
Putting paint on a fork 
Place a fork against a sheet of paper 
Prints 
Draw stems and leaves with a brush 
Tulips are ready
Drawing with crumpled paper
You can make paint prints using a crumpled piece of paper. Drawing tasks using this technique are made more difficult for middle school students by combining elements of classical drawing or appliqué.
"Leaves Are Falling"
The guys make an applique from strips of paper - a trunk and branches. A crumpled piece of paper makes gouache prints - leaves. Examples of work
Blotography
Blotography is a way of creating an image using spots and blots. To practice this technique you will need watercolors, a glass of water, a brush and a plastic tube. Blots can be supplemented with a design in the classical way; you can initially create a design on paper that will be decorated with blots as intended.
Blot painting technique:
- Apply watercolor paint with a brush well soaked in water.
- A spot is made on a sheet of paper or a drop is placed.
- Blowing air out of the tube, draw a blot with paint.
"Cherry Blossom"
Place a drop on a sheet of paper Blow through the tubes onto the paint Blow up the blot - the trunk Place drops of paint on the tree trunk and blow up the branches Place drops of green paint Blow up the grass Place drops of white paint Add paint Pink colour Blowing up the drops - cherry blossoms
Nitcography
Drawing with wool thread in the middle group consists of putting paint on the thread, applying it to a sheet of paper and creating a pattern by imprinting with the movement of the thread. The wool thread creates a fancy pattern that is suitable for depicting a cloud or a cloud, a dog or a sheep.
"Tuchka"
The thread with the collected paint is placed on a sheet of paper. The thread is covered with another sheet on top, the child moves the thread in different directions, creating a pattern. Use a brush to draw drops. The cloud is ready.
Drawing with semolina
In fact, children draw with glue (usually PVA). A layer of glue is applied to the marked outline of the image with a brush, semolina is poured in and a sheet of paper is firmly placed on top. Then the excess semolina is shaken off from the drawing and the next detail is created in the same way. In the middle group, children develop the ability to carefully trace a stencil and apply glue within the outline. Because semolina white, for drawing in this technique, colored paper or cardboard is used as a basis.
"Gift for Mom"
We trace the stencil. Apply a layer of glue to the outline of the flower with a brush. Pour in semolina. Place a sheet of paper on top. Shake off the excess grain. Use this method to complete the next element - a stem with leaves. The gift for mom is ready.
Drawing with a candle
Children develop skills in drawing lines, spots, simple geometric shapes an unusual tool - a candle. For this lesson you will need a thick sheet of white paper as a base, a simple candle (a piece of a candle), watercolor paints and a brush.
Candle painting technique:
- On a sheet of paper with a candle, the children draw details according to plan.
- Use a brush to paint the sheet with watercolor paint.
- Wax images appear through watercolors.
"Winter landscape"
Using a candle, draw a Christmas tree at the bottom of the sheet, and snowflakes at the top. 
Paint the sheet with watercolors of blue, cyan and black 
Winter landscape is ready
Drawing with wax crayons
In drawing classes using this technique, children develop two classic skills at once - drawing with a pencil (wax crayons, as a rule, have the shape of pencils) and filling the background with one or more watercolor colors using a brush. The results are unusual and vibrant works.
"Summer Meadow"
On a sheet of white paper we draw flowers, butterflies, the sun 
Fill the leaf with blue and green watercolors 
Finished work
Scratch (waxography)
With students in the middle group, you can try grattage - drawing by scratching lines on paper filled with ink or paint. Children at home with their parents can prepare the basis for painting using this technique for the lesson; you can do this part of the work in kindergarten (but keep in mind that drying the paint will take a certain period of time). To create the base, you need wax crayons, black gouache and a wide brush; for scratching, you need a pointed stick (you can use a wooden skewer for frying meat).
Waxography technique:
- Color the surface of the sheet with wax crayons.
- Paint the sheet with black gouache.
- Let the paint dry completely.
- Scratch the paint to create a pattern with lines.
"House"
Paint the sheet with wax crayons of different colors 
Apply black gouache over the wax

In non-traditional drawing classes, children will learn that they can make a drawing using unusual tools, or they can paint with a familiar brush and paints, but using additional unexpected materials. Thus, using wet gauze to work allows you to create an original work.
Technique for drawing through gauze:
- Using cotton swabs, draw water from a glass and wet the entire surface of the sheet well.
- Apply a layer of gauze to the wet sheet and straighten it. The gauze should stick and be motionless on the paper.
- On top of the gauze we paint with watercolors using a brush, as usual. Leave the drawing until completely dry.
- We remove the gauze from the dried work - a pattern remains on the paper in the form of an imprint of the texture of the gauze fabric.
Drawing up notes for a lesson on drawing in non-traditional techniques
The lesson notes should indicate the goals and objectives set by the teacher. You should describe the preliminary work on the topic of the lesson: observing animals and birds, natural phenomena during a walk, reading poems and fairy tales, looking at illustrations in books. The use of motivating material in the lesson is noted (studying pictures and posters, using small forms of oral folk art, holding a conversation, creating a surprise moment or game situation), carrying out mobile and didactic games, physical education and finger gymnastics.
In accordance with hygienic standards, a drawing lesson in the middle group lasts no more than 20 minutes and consists of the following stages:
- Organizational moment 1 minute.
- Motivating start of the lesson 4-6 minutes.
- Practical part: direct demonstration of actions by the teacher and drawing by children for 10 minutes.
- Demonstration and discussion of drawings for 2–3 minutes.
- Summing up 1 minute.

Before developing a work program for non-traditional drawing, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with methodological manuals for working with preschoolers in this area:
- Borodkina N.V. Visual activities in kindergarten. Lesson notes for children aged 3 to 7 years. - Development Academy, 2012.
- Doronova T. N. Nature, art and visual activities of children. - Enlightenment, 2007.
- Nikitina A.V. Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten. - Karo, 2010.
- Lykova I. A. Visual activities in kindergarten. Middle group. - Publishing House Tsvetnoy Mir, 2016
A non-traditional drawing program should contain:
- Goals and objectives of the educational course.
- Methods and techniques of the teacher’s work (visual, verbal, games) used in the classroom.
- Calendar-thematic planning: topics of classes and program content of each.
- Forms of analysis artistic activity children: analysis of works, exhibition of drawings in the hall kindergarten, conducting demonstration classes for pupils of junior groups.
Sponge painting class in the middle group
Webinar “Non-traditional drawing techniques with preschool children”
Non-traditional drawing classes provide wide scope for children's imagination. Every time it’s joy, play and an opportunity to believe in one’s own strength. The fear of drawing with a brush and pencil gradually goes away, because by drawing with wax, printing with a foam sponge and leaves, poking with cotton swabs and splashing with a toothbrush, the child discovers his creative abilities. The bright and unusual result is pleasant for little artists; they want to continue drawing and improve their skills in working with various materials and tools.
Hi all! We continue to provide interesting ideas for educators, parents and teachers. And today we will talk about unconventional drawing techniques. These ideas are suitable for kindergarten and school. Unconventional drawing does not mean something complicated. On the contrary, it is the unconventional technique that turns art classes into simple and fun fun. There is no need to draw complex elements, no need to masterly use a brush. Non-traditional techniques were CREATED because they SIMPLIFY the child’s work and EASIER the teacher’s task in methodological terms and give the child an amazing creative experience with an excellent final result. You will see what beautiful paintings and drawings can be made using simple non-traditional drawing techniques. The child will love your activities - he himself will be drawn to art when he feels that he can create beauty with his own hands.
I have divided all the techniques of non-traditional drawing into SEPARATE GROUPS - and I will explain and show everything in order.
Unconventional drawing
PALM PRINTS
In kindergarten, during art classes, it is important to choose work that will be feasible for children younger age. In the second younger group, children have poor brush control, it is difficult for them to force the brush to draw a line, an oval, a circle... Therefore, at this age, quick and beautiful drawings using the palm painting technique are interesting.
With your children's hands you can draw such a cute family of a hen and chicks.
Green paint will give you a print that can be made into a frog. The eyes can be drawn separately on white circles of paper (by the teacher themselves) and the children will simply glue the eyes onto the drawing with PVA glue.
Here is another example of an appliqué drawing using this non-traditional do-it-yourself painting technique. If we add the side wings and sharp tips of the ears to the palm print, we get the silhouette of an owl. The background for such a craft can be chosen from black cardboard, and a large circle of yellow paper (moon) can be glued onto it. And already against the background of the lunar disk, make an owl-palm print. And then when the print dries, we add a long branch on which this owl is sitting.
The palm acts as a template - first sketch, trace the palm on a piece of paper, and then try to draw an eye here or there. And look closely and see which character is looking at you.
Same for crafts using the non-traditional technique “Palm + paint” you need to prepare the background in advance. Or use colored paper to create a green lawn and a pond for ducks. Or draw in advance - tint the sheet with blue and green paint, dry and prepare for class (hold under heavy pressure from books).
As you can see in the photo below, you can add overlay parts to the palm element of the design - appliqués made of paper and other materials. Below is an example of how ordinary gray paper from a box can become a prototype for a craft. To small child it was more convenient to draw circle-face of a lion- give him a jar lid template. Let the children trace the round lid along the center of the “cardboard mane” with a pencil and then carefully fill in the circle with paint – first tracing with a slow brush along the edge of the line, and then painting in the middle. We complete the black details of the mustache, nose and ears with a marker (the teacher himself once the craft is dry).
In non-traditional palm painting, images of birds are often used. There you are simple idea drawing of a sparrow in kindergarten. Simple and quick to draw with your own hands for children in the middle group.
But here are ideas for non-traditional hand drawing for children of average and senior group. Craft MONKEY. Here you need to position your palm correctly - so that your fingers are turned towards the vine on which the monkey will hang. Then use a brush to draw a beautiful tail curl. And then lay out the head from the paper appliqué.
But here is a class on non-traditional drawing for the older group - here you need to first draw a tree (trunk, branches, leaves). The leaves are just marks from a brush (press the brush sideways. Raise it sharply up so that the mark does not smear). While the children are busy drawing the leaves, the trunk will dry out well and the imprint of the koala bear will be perfectly placed on it, as if against a dry background. Beautiful craft both for kindergarten and school (grades 1-4).
And here is a beautiful bright craft-drawing of a GIRAFFE. Here we also see a base made from a palm print. But a long neck element with a head is added to the picture. Before applying spots and strokes of the mane, you need to wait until the red base has completely dried. The mane is placed with the imprint of a brush - we place the brush on the side and sharply lift it up, the impression is obtained as a tuft of mane hairs - we create a lot of imprints along the entire cervical ridge of the giraffe. .Round spots are easier to draw with a cotton swab (with a brush, the circles will not be even - not all children know how to draw a circle with a brush - this is a complex technique that they will master after they learn to write letters).
For the older group of kindergarten, a hand drawing in the form of a rainbow magical unicorn is suitable. Great craft for girls. The teacher will draw the horn.
And boys will love the drawing in the form of a dragon - also in this technique.
Also, young children really love group crafts. Where the entire kindergarten group participates in one common artistic work. For example, on a large sheet of paper, draw the outlines of the future body of a peacock - and around it line up the imprints of the feathers of its magnificent tail. And then, when the tail is dry, you can glue the body itself along the center.
Drawing WITH FORKS.
non-traditional technology in kindergarten.
Disposable plastic forks are a tool that can create an interesting non-traditional drawing technique for you. All drawings where needed characteristic shaggy stroke, even a small child will be able to draw quickly and easily.
Here is a sample of such work for children in kindergarten. The teacher draws a tree stump on a piece of paper. It comes from the hemp the upward line is the AXIS of the future tree. Using a fork, scoop up the thick paint and apply prints from the side of the axle downwards. First we process the right side of the axis, then the left side of the central rod of the tree.
And already the third stage - we put another layer of CENTRAL STROKES on top of these strokes - this time more vertically down from the center, slightly diverging to the sides.
For comfort Pour the paint into bowls - jar lids work great.
AND to reduce paint consumption , gouache can be diluted with PVA glue - one to one, or in another proportion. Valuable advice - do not buy SCHOOL PVA in small tubes - go to a hardware store and buy a liter (or half-liter) bucket of PVA glue. It will be called universal PVA, or construction PVA - don’t let this confuse you. By chemical composition it is exactly the same as school PVA glue. But the price is 5 or 10 times cheaper. And in a bucket the glue does not lose its freshness, as in a tube. And a liter bucket is enough for a kindergarten group for 3-4 months of active classes.
In such an unconventional technique, you can draw any PINKY elements of the picture - for example, a HEDGEHOG or a CACTUS.
A fork will also help you draw shaggy characters. For example, a yellow fluffy CHICKEN, or a kitten, or a bear cub.
Since the paint already contains PVA glue, you can glue any paper parts (beak, eyes, ears, tails, etc.) onto the wet paint that has not yet dried.
Also, the fork stroke is similar to the plumage of birds. Therefore, you can make a drawing of any bird using this technique. This is how it happens, you can see in the photo of the craft below - COCK..
TRAINING METHODOLOGY – classical.
On two drawing samples.
What is the best way to TEACH DRAWING in kindergarten. Here is a technique that has been working great in kindergarten for several years. This technique allows you to get the CORRECT one the first time children's drawing. Let's look at it using the example of the same COCK from the picture above.
STAGE 1
We seat the children on a chair (in 2 rows) in front of one table. The teacher will do a demonstration on it. The piece of paper already has the outline of a rooster drawn in pencil. Three bowls contain different colors – yellow, red, blue. Each color has its own fork.
In front of the children, we begin our work - we draw feathers with a fork, freely mixing paints. We show you what is wrong and what is right. Let the children see from your example that it is better to draw lines ALONG the neck, and ALONG the lines of the tail, and not across.
STAGE 2
We painted feathers for one rooster in front of the children. Now we make him a friend - we take another sheet with a pencil rooster, and ask the children, “What should we do?” Children give you hints, you “mess up”, children correct you, tell you how to do it - you correct yourself and continue to make mistakes, then correct yourself. Now children are already acting as a “knowledgeable teacher”. After this game of drawing the second rooster. The children themselves sit down at the tables, where the same pencil rooster is waiting for them and, with knowledge of the matter, each perform their own craft.
As you can see, the demonstration method always works better on 2-X training drawings with the teacher’s hand.
- The first drawing, where the teacher does everything himself (teaching and explaining to the children)
- The teacher performs the second drawing according to the children’s prompts (“making mistakes” and correcting them).
- Each child already makes the third drawing himself, at his desk, with a smart, scholarly look.
Unconventional DRAWING
FEET PRINTS
The print of a child's foot, like a palm, can be turned into an interesting drawing. A variety of characters can be hidden in a child's footprint.
These are the kinds of paintings that can be created using an unconventional drawing technique from an ordinary print of a child’s foot.
I’ll say right away that in the realities of a kindergarten (where there are 30 children in a group) This kind of drawing with feet is difficult to organize. In the case of drawings with palms, everything is simple: children wipe their palms with a wet cloth (remove the main layer of paint), and then go to the sink and wash their hands with soap. When drawing with feet, the child cannot go and wash his feet in the washbasin. A gentle man with soap and several basins to wash his feet. You can’t do this kind of work with a whole kindergarten group. But…
Such drawing can be done as a specially organized individual lesson. Children are divided into groups of 4 people. One child gives his feet for a print, the second draws eyes, ears, tails, the third child draws grass, the sun, the fourth a tree, a bird and so on... (depending on the theme and plot of the picture).
You can try this option for organizing the entire process. Before bedtime, when children are barefoot. Let the child step on a piece of foam rubber soaked in paint. And then straight onto a sheet of paper. And then immediately a thin, wet, soapy terry towel, then into a basin with some water... and go to bed.
That is, you need to buy a sheet of foam rubber(it’s cheap in the construction department, sold cut into meters). Wet the foam rubber, dilute the paint slightly with water so that it is well absorbed into the foam rubber (like ink in printing), place a sheet of foam rubber on a plastic tray. Nearby, on a second plastic tray, there is a wet, soapy towel (for wiping off paint), then there is a basin of water, and a dry towel. There is a chair next to each tray and basin. Three chairs + three elements (coloring, soap, rinsing, wiping).
It turns out to be a conveyor– the child sits on the first chair (steps on the foam rubber with paint, hop – raises his leg), move the tray with the foam rubber, put a sheet of paper in its place (hop – stamped). The child moves his butt to the second chair, next to which there is a tray with a soapy towel (hop-up, soaped his leg, wiped off the paint). The child moves his butt to the third chair, next to which there is a basin of water with a rag floating in it (hop, wash off the soapy leg where you need it with a rag). And wipe with a dry towel.
Everyone is happy. Except for the sanitation station. It does not allow collective rinsing in one basin. The sanitation station requires for 20 children - 20 basins, and 20 soap towels... 20 dry towels)))
Unconventional drawing
HATCHING method
And here’s another beautiful piece of equipment for kindergarten. Where the elements of the drawing are created using the shading method. This results in an interesting image texture. This method is convenient for drawing everything fluffy and shaggy.
The technique is well illustrated by the example of this HARE craft.
The hare drawing is divided into ROW-SECTORS, each of which is shaded. We get even rows of shading.
Here is a life-size template for this craft.
You can modify this craft and present it as an applique. Where each element is cut out separately (ears, forehead, cheeks, nose, neck). Then each element is shaded. And then everything is assembled into a single whole application.
The ZONE HATCHING method can be used to create any other furry characters. For example, a fluffy ostrich.
That is, the teacher gives the child a piece of paper on which the eyes and beak of an ostrich are drawn. The child’s task is to draw a fluffy cloud of strokes around the eyes with a pencil or wax crayons. And then, under the resulting fluffy ball, draw the neck in rows of strokes. The teacher can help the children by drawing the circle of the ball of the head and the lines of the future neck, and dividing the neck into sectors for striped multi-colored shading.
You can come up with any character and design it in the form of SECTORS with shading - a cat, a parrot, a dog, and so on.
DRAWING in kindergarten
WITH A COTTON SWIP
(non-traditional technique).
In kindergarten, we all drew the FLUFFY DANDELION craft using cotton swabs. Here it is (photo below). Let's think about what other pictures can be drawn using a cotton swab.
Although even from a simple DANDELION theme you can create an unconventional design - BRIGHT JUICY, as in the photo below.
It is best for young children to draw only SOME ELEMENTS of the characters using the technique of POKING WITH COTTON SWIPS - only the tail of a fox, the tip of a needle for a hedgehog.
That is, a kindergarten teacher combines the work of drawing watnyo with a stick with appliqué. First, on a piece of paper, the child makes an applique of the hedgehog’s face (from brown paper) and the skin of the hedgehog’s back (from white paper). And then this back skin needs to be completely covered with multi-colored cotton swab prints. Merry children's activity for drawing and pasting.
You can use drawing with a cotton swab using the ZONE FILLING technique. On a sheet of paper, draw the outline (silhouette) of a character in pencil - for example, a seahorse. The child must fill this entire area without leaving empty spaces or going beyond the pencil border. This is difficult, the child does not always see where he is thick and where he is empty. The teacher needs to repeat all the time: look for empty holes, fill the holes with different colored dots, and not dots of the same color.
The brain, attentiveness, and fine motor skills hands, and a sense of color. After all, you need to feel how you distribute the color across the zone - evenly or everything is yellow at the top, and everything is blue at the bottom.
Such a task can be started in the younger group and then in the older group - and even an adult can learn something in such training on the sense of color and composition.
You can also use a cotton swab to make CHAIN PATTERNS. Like the rows of rings on the cacti below.
You can also draw entire pictures with dots. This non-traditional drawing technique can be called DOT GRAPHY.
The most interesting thing is to select dots of different shades and place them differently on the objects in the image.
You can start working on this type of drawing with small tasks. Pieces of landscape, elements of architecture.
There is an artist Angelo Franco who paints paintings using the POINT TO POINT technique. Here are large points, contain smaller ones inside.
With a cotton swab and paints you can draw beautiful MANDALA (photo below). Mandalas are circular patterns, symmetrical and multi-colored. The homeland of mandalas is the East. They still lay out patterns of colored pebbles, colored sand, or flower petals.
For children, we must provide ready-made graphic templates-mandalas, with a given pattern. And the child’s task is to REPEAT EXACTLY every POCK with a stick in each of the symmetrical zones of the mandala. That is... if in one zone you made 2 yellow pokes on a petal, then in the other zones you need to make 2 yellow pokes, on the same petal, in the same place on the petal.
You can find many round mandalas for painting on the Internet. Choose those that are simple and easy to do for children of a given age.
You can draw dotted mandalas on plastic plates . As in the photo below.
You need to start drawing mandalas when the child has already mastered basic counting to 5. And can count the number of PUMPKINS in each ray or in each row of the mandala (if it is a row-ray mandala, as in the photo below).
Agree, this beautiful and unconventional drawing technique perfectly develops a child’s mind, his mathematical abilities, constructive thinking, the ability to plan the result, and calculate the drawing.
Drawing WITH A WET EFFECT.
(non-traditional methods).
Here is another unconventional watercolor painting technique. Here we put watercolor diluted with water on a sheet of paper and blow on it from a tube. We get watery spots and colorful streams. For such drawing it is not necessary to use watercolor; the same can be done with gouache diluted with water.
Below we see how this technique can be used in art classes in kindergarten and school. We give the child a drawing of a face (boy or girl) and the child’s task is to blow out the HAIR for these characters.
You can use a board on which you attach a sheet of paper with a clothespin. We place a large drop of paint on the edge of the sheet and lift this edge of the board up so that the drop flows down like a slide.
If we temporarily seal part of the sheet with a piece of masking tape, then we will have an empty, unpainted space on the sheet. And then in this place you can place an applique of someone under an umbrella. Here's how it's done in the photo below.
In the younger group of kindergarten, children will really enjoy drawing Klaks monsters. Krakozyabra can be inflated from a tube in any direction. And then, after drying, glue applique elements onto them.
Now I want to introduce you to another technique - SOAP + PAINT. Pour regular liquid soap into cups, or liquid for soap bubbles— add a little gouache to each glass. We get multi-colored soap paint. Dip a cocktail tube or a round “blower” into it and blow bubbles directly onto the paper. We get gentle bubble CLOUDS. They can be decorated into an interesting picture.
The bubbly clouds can be LUXURIOUS PEONIES (like the photo below). Blistered areas can be scallops on sea waves, like curly sheep skin, etc.
You can simply blow bubbles onto the surface of a sheet of paper with a straw, and then cut out a craft applique from this multi-colored sheet. Interesting idea for classes in kindergarten.
You can also paint with splashes - just SPLASH colorful paint onto the paper. A toothbrush is best for this.
Unconventional drawing
WAX-GRAPHY method.
Here is another technique that can be called CANDLE GRAPHY, or WAX GRAPHY.
Suitable for this technique white wax (or paraffin) candle. It can also be a children's wax crayon for drawing (but not just any kind). Choose chalk that has a greasy feel. Check in advance how the crayons work.
Now let's act. Draw a picture on a sheet of white paper with white chalk. Then we take watercolor (not gouache!!!) and begin to apply watery (not thick!!!) paint over the chalk lines. That is, we simply paint over our sheet of paper with colored watery paints and the invisible white wax pattern begins to appear. The paint does not cling to the wax and these places on the paper remain white.
You can draw multi-colored round mandalas in this style (with streaks of different colors). Painted autumn leaves look beautiful: leaf contours and veins are waxy, and the filling of the sheet is multi-colored (red-yellow-orange).
The night rain over the water looks beautiful. Slanting lines of rain, diverging circles on the water - it's all wax. And then we paint it with dark blue paint and get a beautiful picture of rain.
You can use wax to draw jellyfish and sea creatures. And then apply dark (blue-violet-black) tones and the sea depths will come to life.
Children are delighted when you offer them such an activity. The educator or teacher himself draws jellyfish, turtles, small tadpoles and amoebas on each sheet in advance. And then the child must find out who lives in the depths of the seas. He paints a sheet of paper and all these creatures appear under his brush.
Important rule. Before class, teach the children to ROSE a sheet of paper with a wet brush, and NOT TO RUBB THE SHEET WITH A BRUSH, LIKE A WASTE SPASH. Otherwise, the wax pattern may be damaged.
NIGHT pictures look beautiful using this technique. Using wax we draw one horizon line, then waves, a wax lunar path and the disk of the moon on the upper half of the sheet. Now we paint it in the colors of the night and get the sea, the moon and the white lunar path.
WINTER pictures also look good. The white lines of the wax drawing are like elements of white snow, the outlines of snowdrifts, the silhouette of a snowman, snow-covered huts - we draw all this with wax. Then the child applies blue or light blue paint and a winter landscape appears on the sheet.
But it's important– before giving these pictures to children, check for yourself whether the wax is of suitable quality. Are the lines of the design showing? What layer of paint should I apply (what is the degree of paint dilution with water)?
Unconventional drawing
Using the PRINT technique.
All children love this drawing technique. Because it gives quick and beautiful results for every child. Even the most inept artist can produce beautiful paintings. Children perceive the whole process as magic, an exciting game with the magical effect of a picture appearing
In kindergarten, it is most convenient to organize the imprint technique. Let's see what materials are suitable for implementing this technique when drawing with children.
OPTION 1 – a lump of crumpled paper.
Crumpled paper gives a beautiful torn texture to the print. This is suitable for drawing the crowns of spring (yellow-green or pink) and autumn (orange-purple) trees. Paint is taken from jars or watercolors and dripped onto a bowl (lid from a jar). Dip a napkin into this drop, try the imprint on a rough sheet and, if you like, transfer it to paper.
OPTION 2 – corrugated cardboard.
Packaging gray cardboard is great for drawing a rose using the imprint technique. Slice cardboard box into strips across the corrugation line. We twist the strips into a tube and secure with an elastic band or thread. We make a stamp for a green leaf from a toilet paper roll.
Also, this method of ROLL Drawing is suitable for depicting a SNAIL SPIRL. You can also make LAMB SKIN CURL.
OPTION 3 – fluffy pom-poms.
In craft stores (or on craft websites) you can buy a bag of these soft pompoms. If you attach a clothespin to each, you will get a convenient holder for work. Using the pomponography technique, you can create decor for painting flat parts of crafts. And also paint pictures of white airy dandelions in watercolors.
OPTION 4 – toilet paper roll.
There are a lot of options here, because the tube-sleeve can be given different shapes. You can cut the sleeve in half Lengthwise, and we will get a half-ring stamp - an ideal stencil for drawing fish scales or tiers of coniferous legs of a Christmas tree.
A round roll can be flattened on both sides and you will get a pointed oval - this is the shape of a flower petal, or bunny ears. A great idea for non-traditional drawing in kindergarten with younger children (bunny) or older children (flower).
The flower is more difficult than the bunny because you need to RADIALLY arrange the petals around the middle of the flower.
You can also cut the EDGE OF THE ROLL into curly petals - and you will get ready-made petals for paintings. Such stamps are just a godsend for quickly drawing bouquets and flower beds for children junior group. And even for the smallest babies in the nursery.
OPTION 5 – bubble wrap.
Packaging film with bubbles also gives an interesting print pattern, which can be used in non-traditional drawing in kindergarten. For example, make an imprint of a honeycomb (as in the picture below).
Or make a drawing of a spring or autumn tree.
OPTION 6 – potato stamps.
You can cut stamps of any shape from potato halves. Cut the potatoes in half. Wipe the wet cut of the potato with a paper napkin. On the cut using a marker we draw the outlines of the future stamp. Cut with a knife along the drawn contours.
It is better to choose oblong, elongated potatoes for stamps. So that a child's hand can comfortably grasp the potato. Below in the photo we present only two topics for such unconventional drawing - owls and tulips. But you can come up with your own options. If you add PVA glue to the paint, you can glue details (eyes, nose, handles) on top of the prints.
You can make an experimental double stamp. Cut the halves of the champagne out of two potatoes and fasten the two potatoes together by piercing them through with a toothpick and wrapping them with electrical tape or tape. Take a swing at cool idea and experiment with creating stamps for it.
Unconventional drawing
PLUFFY colors.
Here’s another cool material for unconventional drawing, which young children love so much. This is a VOLUME PAINT for creating puffy designs. Making this kind of paint at home is quick and easy - mix PVA glue with gouache in a bowl and add daddy’s shaving foam. We make several of these bowls (not necessarily large ones) based on the idea of what we will draw with the children. For a watermelon you only need two colors - so start with that. Watermelon seeds are a simple black gouache that we drip here and there.
A variety of ideas can be implemented in this drawing technique for children in kindergarten. The simplest one is a waffle cone with ice cream. The horn is cut out of rough packaging cardboard, and we draw a waffle grid on it with a marker. The child glues the horn onto a sheet of paper (below) and lays out round balls with a three-dimensional pattern on it. You can give your child round templates, which he will first trace with a pencil over the edge of the horn, and then foam paint will be placed in these round outlines.
You can also put several spoons of different paints on the horn and then use the opposite end of a brush (or a wooden stick) to mix the paint into multi-colored stains. You will get a beautiful mix ice cream. A great craft for children at school or kindergarten during art classes.
Methods of working with thick paint in children's classes.
You can mix the paint on a separate tray (or on a piece of oilcloth). It’s better when each child makes his own color mixture - so we give each child his own oilcloth.
We put individual oilcloths for children on each table. Place bowls with 4 colors of paint in the center of the table. The child mixes these colors into a common puddle on his oilcloth - to the point of beautiful stains. Then a paper outline of a character (for example, a seahorse) is applied to the puddle. And then he lays it out to dry (the outlines of the skates must be signed with the child’s name in advance, and do not forget to remind the children to apply the unsigned side to the paint). Then the next day, when the foam paint has dried on the silhouette of the skate, you can continue working and make an appliqué of the skate in the sea waters, add spikes and algae around it, stick on shells, and pour sand on the glue.
You can try these interesting drawing techniques while working with children, both at home and in the garden. At school, this unconventional drawing can be done in lessons on visual arts, leaving the entire process for the child to create independently.
On the pages of our site you will find many more different techniques for unusual painting with paints.
