What to draw with a child of 6 years. Learning to draw a person with a pencil: step by step instructions. So what is “aerial perspective”

An interest in drawing should be instilled in a child from the very beginning. early years, and even months. Vasily Sukhomlinsky noted the great role of this type of creativity in the development of the mental powers of the baby. A well-known educator wrote that "the more skill in a child's hand, the smarter the child." He was firmly convinced that drawing not only develops creative thinking and imagination, it is a means of logical knowledge and aesthetic perception of the world.

And in order for a little artist to “draw with pleasure and improve in his work, an adult must help him in a timely manner,” Valentina Salivon, author of the book for kindergarten teachers “When a Child Draws”, is convinced.

Let's consider in more detail how parents organize drawing lessonsso that the child is interested and comfortable.

Drawing functions, or why it is worth doing with a child

Creative activity is an important component of a child's education. Nina Sakulina, who devoted many works to the study of the artistic education of children, rightly notes: several successful works are not yet evidence that a child will become a great artist in the future; but the experience of creativity still leaves a deep mark on the development of the personality of the baby: he can apply it to any other field of work.

So drawing:

• strengthens the muscles of the fingers and develops fine motor skills of the hands (this is an excellent exercise during which the child hones the ability to perform precise movements with the hands and fingers; this is a good preparation for writing, since the movements of the hand and the look of the baby are synchronized);
• improves thinking and speech (this happens when, for example, a child tells what he drew, what colors he used, etc.);
• increases perseverance (during drawing, the child concentrates on one action, trying to fulfill his plan);
• uplifting (a lot of colorful objects, bright colors, the ability to express what you want - all this brings joy to the little creator);
• increases self-esteem (it is important for a child to be praised for his “masterpieces”, and not criticized: this way he will know that he is doing something well);
• disciplines and develops the ability to manage their time;
• introduces mathematical concepts (say, a child learns to draw geometric shapes).

Drawing for children from 6 months to 6 years

What can be offered to a child at this age?

Stick a sheet of paper on a vertical surface and show your child how you draw lines, circles with wax chalk. Let the kid try to repeat. And be sure to say what you are drawing, what color, etc.

Give your child a sheet of paper and paint - let him find a use for them on his own. Of course, in this case, the child will want to taste the contents of multi-colored jars. Therefore, use harmless finger paints, and best of all, prepare them yourself from safe ingredients. You can, for example, make them from starch and food coloring or with semolina porridge and some kind of coloring syrup (beetroot, carrot). Just make sure that the baby is not allergic to these components.

A child at this age does not yet understand that he is “drawing”, for him this is a game; but he already sees and understands the beautiful and bright result of his work.

From a year to 1.5 years Toddlers already show a craving for drawing. Your task at this stage is to teach the child precise movements so that he realizes that the drawing is not only “paint-and-paw”.

What to do for this?

Children from a year old can already be offered elementary coloring books. For example, draw some simple figure - a circle or a square - and ask your child to color only this detail.

At this age, you can already try to give your child special coloring books. They help to show creativity, develop artistic taste.

Young children need to be given images for coloring:

• large, without small parts;
• with thick contours (about 5 mm);
• requiring no more than 3-4 colors.

Well, if it is an image of a familiar character from the cartoon.

You can also try to buy a 3D plaster coloring for your child.

Children over 2 years old allowed to draw with gouache and watercolors. Also buy brushes of different thickness - let the child see what they can draw different lines. At this age, you need to teach your baby to decorate and draw small details and simple people.

With a 3 year old child Valentina Salivon, for example, recommends:

• draw objects of different sizes (say, a large and a small ball);
• use the elements of the game (Santa Claus and the bunny are “asked” to draw ...);
• show how to paint over and shade without going beyond the contour;
• learn how to correctly place an image on a sheet.

Also, this age is favorable for learning various drawing techniques: for example, wet ink, smeared paints, cotton buds, stamps, fingers, crumpled paper, etc.

Children aged 4-6- completely adults and the process of drawing for them is conscious. They understand what they are drawing and what result they want to see. For this, various objects are used: felt-tip pens, pencils, etc. You can show them how you can mix paints of different colors and get new shades.

At this age, it is easier for children to draw something that consists of many parts. Therefore, it's time to show them how beautifully and easily you can draw a little animal or your favorite cartoon character using step-by-step diagrams. There are many of them on the Internet.

Remember that drawing should bring joy and pleasure to the little artist. Provide a comfortable psychological environment for this.

It is important for a child that parents:

• respected his creative initiative;
• admired the work (put the drawings in frames, hang them on the refrigerator and never throw them away in front of the baby);
• worked with him;
• did not impose their opinion;
• accepted his fantasies and inventions;
• they didn’t force them to draw what they want - the child doesn’t like it;
• in each drawing they found something to be praised for - something new, interesting, unusual;
• they never finished drawing what the baby depicted, it offends him.

Patience and good luck!

I haven't written anything on the blog for a long time. And, of course, there are reasons for this. Firstly, we began to actively engage in our workshop: we make wooden toys, children's decor, sometimes furniture, and of course, we take care of all organizational matters. It takes a lot of energy and almost all inspiration. Secondly, our girls have grown up and no longer fit into the format of thematic weeks, since most of the day they are in the kindergarten, where they study a lot, play and communicate with children. After the garden, I want to play with homemade toys, draw, walk, read fairy tales, watch movies with the whole family or bake cookies. Thirdly, we will soon go to school, but not to a simple one, but to a small and private one, which we organize ourselves;) We open in a month. If you are interested, you can read about our school at the link (text in Ukrainian). And this school takes the remaining inspiration and strength.

So, lesson 1. Aerial perspective.

Who is not an artist from the word at all - do not be scared :) In fact, all this is very simple, interesting and fascinating, but like everything else in the world, it has its own terminology, but the terms almost always sound scary (at least for me).

So what is “aerial perspective”?

This is when you look into the distance and what is closer to the horizon seems lighter, and what is closer to you has more saturated colors.

From the dictionary:

aerial perspective – Blurring or loss of clarity of the outlines of distant objects caused by the atmosphere. The effect occurs due to the disappearance of color and the contrast of brightness between distant objects and the background.

Here are examples of aerial perspective:

To explain to a child what aerial perspective is, it is enough to show examples and draw his attention to those objects that are far away and those that are close - the difference is very noticeable.

And now let's start drawing!

We will need:

• paint (gouache, acrylic, in principle, watercolor is also possible) three colors- white, yellow and blue
• brush,
• our drawing blank,
• jar of water,
• palette or white plate,
• paper napkins to wipe something or blot the brush if necessary.

Drawing order:

1. We mix white paint and blue on the palette to get a very light shade. This will be the color of the sky.
2. We offer the child to color only the sky.
3. Then you need to paint the clouds with white, and the sun with yellow.
4. Mix white and blue again (or add more blue paint to the last batch) to get a light shade that is a little more saturated than the color of the sky.
5. We color in a row of mountains that are closest to the sky.
6. We repeat the kneading, adding more blue and coloring the next row of mountains.
7. The very front row - hills and trees - we paint in pure blue or add quite a bit of white to it at your discretion.
8. Everything! Drawing mountains using the principle of aerial perspective is ready!

And here is how our mountains turned out:

Drawing with children 5-6 years old. Lesson notes

From the author

Visual activity introduces the child to the world of beauty, contributes to the formation of a harmonious personality, develops creativity. In drawing classes, children master various visual means, use their imagination, convey their individual vision of objects.

Children 5-6 years old, getting to know different types of visual arts(painting, graphics, sculpture), vividly perceive images. Compared with an earlier age, their activity becomes more conscious. The idea begins to outstrip the image. Previously acquired visual skills are consolidated. Hand movements become more confident. In collective work, children begin to plan and coordinate their actions. At this age, it is necessary to continue to teach how to depict objects from nature and develop imagination. You should pay attention to the transfer of shapes and colors, essential details. Starting from senior group, it is necessary to teach children to tint paper, mix paints. It is useful to give children the opportunity to draw different materials(with wax and pastel crayons, charcoal pencils, sanguine, felt-tip pens) and use previously unfamiliar drawing techniques.

2. The process of doing the work begins with an analysis of the depicted object, the teacher's advice and the children's suggestions for doing the work (in some cases, the teacher should show the basic techniques for creating an image on a separate sheet). The teacher can direct the actions of children in need of support and help. When finalizing the picture with additional elements, you need to pay the attention of children to means of expression(for example, harmoniously matched colors).

3. Consideration of the completed work (only positive evaluation). The child should rejoice at the result and learn to evaluate his craft and the work of other children, notice new interesting solutions, see the resemblance to nature.

It is necessary to apply water to the landscape sheet with a wide brush. Then, on a thin brush, dial watercolor paint and touch it to a sheet of paper in several places. The dot will start to expand. Free places need to be filled with spreading dots of other colors.

Man is the most amazing and unique creature in the world. And also one of the most beautiful. This is evidenced by the fact that images of men or women are present on almost every famous painting relating to masterpieces of fine art. About how to draw a person: mom, dad or himself, the child thinks from an early age. Some children are inspired to draw circles and squiggles on their own, others require training.

Learn how to draw a person, starting with the youngest preschool age. The first sketches of babies resemble scribbles. If the child is constantly exercising, then in preparatory group he is able to quickly draw a person in different poses. It's great if at the same time young artist conveys facial expressions, portrait resemblance and individual characteristics.

The task of teachers in general education and art schools is to teach how to draw the human body in accordance with anatomical structure. To do this, a few hours in the program training course reserved for academic drawing. The best learning effect is the implementation of sketches from nature.

You can learn how to draw people well at home on your own. For a beginner, all options are good: an image from a photo, video tutorials, the use of paintings and reproductions for sketching, the main thing is to choose a drawing technique to your liking. Many aspiring artists always take a sketchbook with them and make sketches in 5 minutes at any time. If you don’t feel like doing sketches on the street, you can draw relatives and friends, your reflection in the mirror.

How to build an image of a person using geometric shapes

Lesson methodology on a given topic in kindergarten based on the similarity of certain parts of the body with geometric shapes. So, the head of babies is round, in adults it is oval, legs and arms look like rectangles, etc.

You can make a silhouette of a person from any shapes - circles, rectangles, squares.

To solve this problem, the preschooler is given paper or cardboard blanks, and he draws up a layout according to a given scheme or comes up with his own sketch. A more difficult task is to draw a person on your own using geometric shapes.

Step by step drawing of a standing person

Children 6-7 years old are already familiar with the basic drawing techniques. They learned to portray a person in full height, to the waist, in a static pose and in motion. Drawing from nature begins in the preparatory group and in the primary grades. As an auxiliary material in the lesson, you must have reproductions of paintings, photographs, samples of work. Before class, it is advisable to talk with children about the beauty and aesthetics of a person, about the fact that any of us is beautiful and unique.

Step 1

As usual, the construction of the figure begins with a simple pencil sketch. First, they look for the correct location of large parts on paper. Then comes the image of an oval head and a torso, consisting of two trapezoids touching at the waist.

Step 2

From the upper corners of the large trapezoid, you need to draw the lines of the arms, and from the bottom of the small trapezoid, the lines of the legs. A common mistake is the same length of arms and legs, you need to pay attention to children that the upper limbs are shorter.

Step 3

The next step is to give volume to the limbs. Shoulders, forearms, thighs and shins are depicted as elongated ovals, tapering downwards.

Step 4

A difficult task for a preschooler is to draw hands and feet. Therefore, fingers with a palm are often recommended to be depicted in the form of mittens, and the lower part of the leg in the form of a triangle. But some children are persistent and want a real realistic drawing, they can be explained how small details are done.

Step 5

At the next stage, extra lines are removed and the silhouette is completed. The sketch of the figure is outlined with a pencil, the head is connected to the body. They add a characteristic detail - the ball in the boy's hand.

Step 6

Now the little man needs to be dressed, then draw the growth lines of the eyebrows, outline the location of the nose, eyes, mouth.

Step 7

A light pencil drawing is completed with detailing of clothing and footwear, facial features. Hair is depicted with broken lines.

Step 8

To get a natural skin tone, use beige or Orange color. When coloring, do not press hard on the pencil.

Step 9

When painting clothes, it is better to use different shades of the same color, highlighting light and shadow, so the drawing will be more vivid and realistic.

Preschoolers need complete freedom in creativity. There is no single and correct drawing option; you cannot correct the child’s work if he wants to act in his own way. The right solution, if necessary, can be found through conversation and leading questions.

How to draw a person in motion

Middle school students know a lot about the rules for arranging an object in space, taking into account perspective. For students in grades 5–7, it is advisable to start a drawing lesson with an analysis of the structure of the human figure. This is necessary in order to correctly convey the proportions in the drawing, professionally depict body parts, otherwise real person the picture will resemble a mannequin. Despite the fact that anatomy is studied later, at this age, children already have an idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe skeleton, muscles and joints.

The first step in the phased construction of a sketch is the definition of proportions. In adults, the length of the torso from the crown to the hips is usually equal to the length of the legs. The height of the head fits into the distance from the chin to the beginning of the thigh about 3 times. In children and adolescents, this figure is less. The length of the legs of a harmoniously built person is equal to the height of the head multiplied by 3.5–4.

You can depict a person depending on the angle or location of the object and the artist. The main positions are in full face, when the sitter is facing the viewer, in profile - when the depicted is located on the side, half-turned or half-faced, in which the face is not fully visible.

Step 1

The pencil drawing begins with a sketch of the head and torso in the foreground. The spine is the basis of the whole figure, it can be outlined with a curved line. Large joints of the shoulders and pelvis are schematically depicted in circles. Sketch lines are drawn easily, without pressure.

Step 2

The next step is to draw the upper and lower limbs. The elbows are at waist level, the length of the humerus is equal to the length of the ulna, the knees are in the middle of the leg. The more accurate the sketch, the better it will be possible to convey the movement.

Step 3

Now you need to build muscle. The most voluminous part of the forearm, thigh and lower leg is located in the upper third, closer to the joint, the limbs gradually narrow. The body is easier to depict in the form of two ovals.

Step 4

Particular attention is paid to the hands and feet. They are also depicted schematically, imitating the skeleton of the limbs. The foot should be longer than the hand.

Step 5

After drawing all parts of the figure, the extra lines are erased. The silhouette is given the necessary outlines: sharp corners are smoothed out, the sides become sloping, parts of the body are connected by curved lines.

Step 6

When depicting a face, proportions must also be observed. The height of the forehead is equal to the distance from the eyebrow line to the tip of the nose and from the tip of the nose to the chin. The distance between the eyes is equal to the length of the eye. The ear is depicted just below the eyebrow line. To make the girl smile, the corners of the lips need to be slightly raised. At this stage, you can sketch the hairstyle.

Step 7

The more details in the drawing, the more realistic it will be. You need to draw clothes, shoes, accessories and other elements that create vivid image. Strands of hair can be distinguished by separate lines.

Step 8

You can color the drawing using colored pencils or paints.

Preschoolers 5-6 years old can be safely explained how the figure of an adult differs from the figure of a child. The module with which we “measure” the figure is the head. Much depends on how many times the head is “placed” in the scheme for constructing a human figure.

Show a picture of a child standing next to an adult. Offer to measure (with a ruler, a strip of paper, etc.) how many times the child's head "fits" in its entire figure. Do the same with the figure of an adult. The child himself will conclude that children have a larger head (relative to the proportions of the whole body).

In adults, the head "fits" 7-8 times (ideally). If you take this into account when drawing a person, the figure will come out proportional, similar.
