Elena Nikitina

Drawing one of the children's favorite activities. Drawing in unusual ways evokes even more positive emotions in children. Using unconventional drawing techniques development of thinking, imagination, fantasy, creative abilities. The child develops an interest in drawing, as a result, the desire to create.

Today I will tell you and show you how paint without using a brush.

1. Drawing with cotton swabs. We put paint on a stick and decorate the image on a sheet of paper with dots. (Christmas tree, snow, teapot, sundress, rowan branch).

2. Drawing with palms. Pour the paint into a flat container. Dip your palm and press it to a sheet of paper. (Flowers, fish, Santa Claus, swan, carrots).

3. Drawing with cotton pads. You can use cotton pads paint, folding them in half, quarter or whole. (Moon, snowdrifts, various flowers).

4. Drawing with prints. Simple drawing method: paint is applied to the surface to be printed and a print is placed on a sheet of paper. (Use: flowers, shells, fruits, vegetables).

5. Blotography. A spot or blot of watercolor paint is made on a sheet of paper. Take a tube and blow air onto the blot.

6. Drawing with a fork. We put paint on a fork from a flat plate and make an imprint with the flat surface of the fork. Can draw grass, fence, flowers, hedgehog.

7. Drawing with thread. Best draw with wool thread. We dip the thread in paint and apply it to a sheet of paper and create a pattern by imprinting with the movement of the thread. The wool thread creates a fancy pattern that is suitable for depicting clouds, clouds, sheep, or an unusual flower.

8. Drawing sponge or piece of foam rubber. We clamp a piece of foam rubber with a clothespin, dip it in paint and apply prints that create the texture of the object. They are used to paint animal fur, fluffy clusters of flowers, clouds, and tree crowns.

9. Splash painting. You will need a toothbrush and comb. Take a little paint on the brush and spray it with a comb. Move the brush over the comb over a sheet of paper. You can apply paints of different colors, it will turn out very beautiful.

10. Drawing with stamps. The stamp is easy to make from plasticine. We apply plasticine to a block, cube, etc. Using any sharp object, we depict some object or abstract pattern on it. The stamp is ready. We make a pillow from a sponge. Pour paint onto the sponge. We apply the stamp to the sponge with paint. Now you can make prints. A stamp can be made from the bottom of a plastic bottle, you get beautiful flowers.

11. Drawing imprints of cups and necks of different diameters. Pour the paint into a flat plate. Dip the glass in paint and apply the design to a sheet of paper.

12. Drawing with a comb. We will need a comb with fine teeth. Apply multi-colored paint (next to each other) on a sheet of paper in the shape of a drop. Then we run a comb over all the drops of paint, connecting and smearing them. It turns out to be an amazing rainbow. You can also draw different patterns, adding drops and moving the comb in different directions.

13. Drawing with wax crayons. Using colored wax pencils or wax crayons, apply the design to a sheet of paper. Then we cover it with one or several layers of watercolor. The result is an unusual and bright pattern. (Can draw stars, flowers).

14. Scratch (waxography). We paint the surface of the entire sheet of paper with wax crayons, then cover the sheet with black gouache. When everything is dry, scratch the paint and create a drawing with lines. You can scratch with a pointed stick, skewer, or toothpick.

15. Drawing with gauze. Apply a layer of gauze to a wet sheet of paper, straightening it. The gauze should remain motionless on the paper. Paint on top of the gauze with a brush and paint. Let the drawing dry. We remove the gauze - a pattern remains on the paper in the form of an imprint of the texture of the gauze fabric. (Landscape, sky, tree, grass)

16. Drawing using plastic film. Let's draw a picture. Before the paint has dried, quickly apply the film to the drawing in the right place and carefully, using rotating movements, create wrinkles of the film on the paper. The wrinkles collect paint. Allow to dry and carefully remove the tape.

17. Monotype. Drawing symmetrical objects. To do this, fold a sheet of paper in half and draw an object on one half. While the paint has not dried, fold the sheet in two again. A print will be made on the other half. After this, the image can be finish or decorate.

18. Drawing air bubble film. With the help of this wonderful material you can very easily draw falling snow. We apply white or pale blue paint to the film and apply it to a sheet of paper with a pattern. With this technology you can make an extraordinary background for winter applique.

19. Painting with salt. Apply a design to a sheet of colored cardboard using PVA glue. We draw a picture on the theme of winter. Sprinkle salt on top. When everything is dry, shake off the excess salt.

20. Drawing with semolina. For drawing in this technique Use colored paper or cardboard. PVA glue is applied to the outline of the design. Semolina is poured on top and a sheet of paper is placed tightly on top. Then remove the paper and shake off the excess semolina. So way the next part is created.

21. Drawing with a candle. On a thick sheet of paper or cardboard, children draw with a candle according to plan. The sheet is painted over with watercolor paint. Wax images will appear through the watercolor. (Christmas tree, snowflakes, animals).

You can also use the following techniques unconventional drawing: feather drawing, finger painting, drawing on a stencil with a stamp, drawing using the poke method, drawing soap bubbles , drawing with crumpled paper, drawing with leaves.

The children in our group and I really enjoyed learning about various artistic techniques. The guys were so immersed in.

Notes on drawing with non-traditional techniques “Autumn Leaves” Age group: 2-junior Type: productive activity Form of organization:.

Introducing preschool children to non-traditional drawing techniques Municipal budget preschool educational institution MBDOU No. 33 “Malinka” METHODOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT: “We introduce preschool children.

There are different drawing techniques - some of them are traditional, others are unconventional and even innovative. In general, the painting technique is characterized not so much by the materials used, but by the method of applying paints. The length and direction of the strokes, their brightness, and methods of mixing colors matter. All this is individual for each artist, and forms his style. But there are still main types of drawing techniques that are distinguished by the paints used. So the most famous and popular drawing techniques include: drawing with pencil, gouache, watercolor, oil and pastel.

The simplest technique is considered to be drawing with a pencil. Everyone starts with pencil drawings. Little children pick up a pencil and begin to create their masterpieces. The pencil drawing technique does not require any special skill. In addition, pencil drawings are a preparatory stage for other techniques. However, the pencil technique also has its secrets of how to achieve accuracy and high quality in a drawing. For example, one of these secrets is the shading technique.

Gouache paints are good for beginners. They are good for learning to draw. They are diluted with water, are opaque and can overlap one color with another. When painting with gouache, you can take any colors and paint with them in any order. Paints can be mixed on a palette and get different shades.

Gouache paints

The watercolor technique is more complex; it often remains incomprehensible and mysterious. The apparent ease here is deceptive. Watercolor from the Latin aqua water. It is the artist’s ability to control this water element mixed with paint that determines his skill and mastery of this technique. Watercolor is fluid and transparent, susceptible to brush movement. This is a favorite technique of many artists.

They paint with oil paints mainly in two ways: with and without underpainting. The first method requires quite complex preparation. No strict rules for applying oil or colorful layers does not exist. Try it various options. Sometimes the shade of a vertical stroke does not fit into the work, but if you put it horizontally, it will look good. In general, even a non-professional artist can paint an oil painting.

In order to work with soft pastel crayons, a rough, fleecy surface is required. You can both draw and write with pastels, that is, you can depict figures with lines and contours, and then paint over them, or you can create multi-color paintings with small strokes that are mixed, rubbed and shaded. Pastel looks very beautiful on a dark background, so tinted paper is often used in this technique.

IN lately Another very popular and widespread drawing technique has appeared - drawing with a stylus on the tablet screen. This technique is suitable for both beginners and professionals. There are even programs that help both children and adults master the technique of drawing on the screen. For example, the “How to Draw” program offers you to master drawings of varying degrees of complexity and different styles.

Drawing on the tablet screen

But no matter what technique you decide to use, remember that training will help you realize your wildest ideas.

– this is an impetus for the development of imagination, creativity, the manifestation of independence, initiative, and expression of individuality. Each technique is a small game that brings joy and positive emotions to the child. It does not tire the baby, the child remains highly active and efficient throughout the entire time of drawing.

Unconventional drawing is the basis of many art therapy techniques. As a means of correcting mental processes, non-traditional drawing techniques allow you to overcome feelings of fear, give you freedom, and instill confidence in yourself and your abilities. Modern studies have shown that non-traditional drawing helps to weaken the arousal of emotionally disinhibited children, despite the fact that an overly active child needs a large space to develop activities, his attention is often scattered and unstable. In the process of non-standard artistic activity the activity zone narrows, the amplitude of movements decreases.

Practicing this type of drawing contributes to the development of hand-eye coordination, imagination, logic, and thinking, which is very important for preparing a preschooler for school. Unconventional drawing is a way of self-expression, communication with oneself, an excellent means not only to lift your spirits, but also to look at the world through different eyes, and discover new possibilities in yourself!

Printing with leaves - can be classified as a stamping technique, but requires greater accuracy and coordination of movements, therefore, in independent activities it is only available for older preschool age (5-6 years), and children 3-4 years old will be happy to create pictures from leaves together with their parents or older brothers and sisters.

For classes you will need: gouache, brushes, white or tinted paper, leaves.

During your walk, collect with your child leaves of various trees, shrubs, and plants that differ in size and shape. The leaf needs to be covered with gouache using a brush, and then carefully placed with the painted side on a sheet of paper, pressed tightly and gently, by the stem, gradually peel it off from the album sheet with a smooth upward movement. The main thing is not to move the sheet, otherwise the image will turn out blurry.

The following leaves can be painted in other colors; the leaf can be made two-color or multi-color. You can paint an already used leaf in a different color, then when mixing different paints you can get an unusual shade.

When the drawing is filled with prints, you need to use a brush (or felt-tip pens, pencils) to complete the missing parts of the composition.

drawing with threads. Available to children from 3 years of age in joint activities with an adult. How older child– the more independence in drawing, imagining, finishing drawings.

For classes you will need: gouache, a brush and a bowl, paper, thread (preferably No. 10), yarn or string (depending on the chosen drawing method), pencils or felt-tip pens for finishing the drawing.

Method 1.Fold a sheet of paper in half and open it. On one half, lay out one or several threads (20-30 cm), soaked in different colors, in a random pattern. Cover with the other half of the sheet so that the undyed ends of the threads are visible. Iron thoroughly and, holding with your hand, slowly pull out the threads by the tails. When the sheet opens, you get some kind of image that can be completed after drying with pencils or felt-tip pens.

Method 2.Fold a sheet of paper in half. Carefully paint a rather long thread or thin rope (up to 40-50 cm) in a bowl with the chosen paint, and then lay it out in a chaotic pattern on one side of the sheet. Cover with the other half of the sheet and iron it thoroughly with your hand. Open, carefully remove the thread, examine the resulting image. Finish drawing to the final result.

Method 3.Make 2 to 5 pieces of thread or thin rope 7-10 cm long. Alternately dip the threads in paint and move them along a sheet of paper in different directions. You can make a drawing with chaotic movements, then examine it and complete the drawing, or you can try to immediately get an approximate outline of the desired image and then complete it with pencils or felt-tip pens.

Method 4.Wrap a rope (twine, thin, clothesline or a combination of different ropes) around a cylinder (it is convenient to use a rolling pin, but you can use any cylindrical object - a piece of pipe, a piece of wood, etc.) Make a criss-crossing pattern and paint the rope until slightly absorbed by one or more flowers. Press the cylinder to the bottom edge of the paper and, pressing firmly, roll it away from you. A beautiful rope pattern will appear on the sheet.



(from Greek "monos" - one, "typos" - imprint) - Available for children from 3 years old.

For classes you will need: white paper (or colored, tinted - depending on the plan), brushes, paints (gouache or watercolor).

This technique perfectly introduces the concept of symmetry, as it is used to depict the mirror reflection of objects. The white sheet is folded in half and half of the given object is drawn on one side. Then the sheet is folded and ironed well so that the undried paint is imprinted on the other half of the sheet. If necessary, missing (not symmetrical) parts are drawn in.

Also, using this technique, you can get wonderful images of the reflection of objects on the surface of the water: the sheet is folded horizontally and the future landscape (forest, mountains, house, sky, clouds, etc.) is drawn on its upper part. The sheet is then folded and ironed. After receiving the print, the original objects of the drawing are re-animated with paints so that they have clearer contours than their reflections on the water surface.

Using the capabilities of monotype, you can create fantasy images. On one side of half a sheet of paper, closer to the center, apply several bright colored spots. Fold the sheet along the fold and iron it thoroughly with your palm. Open and examine - what happened? Fairytale flowers? Butterfly? Peacock? Bug? Complete the “enchanted” image with paints or felt-tip pens.


Drawing with soap foam. Used in senior preschool age– from 5-6 years.

For classes you will need: watercolor paints (you can also use gouache, but dilute it very thinly), shampoo, a cocktail tube, paper.

Add shampoo to the container with liquid paint and mix well. Lower the tube and blow until bubbles appear above the edge. Place a sheet of paper on the bubbles, press lightly and lift up. You can use paper for work different sizes and colors, you can put one soap pattern on top of another, paint on it, cut it out, make appliqués.


The technique is not complicated, but it requires some skill and sufficiently developed motor-coordination movements, so it is better to offer it to children aged 6-7 years.

For classes you will need: an old toothbrush, a comb with fine teeth, gouache, paper, templates and silhouettes.

Place a little paint on the tip of the brush. Place a comb over a sheet of paper and lightly run the bristle of the brush over it. The splashes will scatter across the sheet. This is how you can depict the starry sky and fireworks. You can cut out any silhouette or take a ready-made template, place it on a sheet and spray paint. Carefully, better after drying, remove the template or silhouette. The drawing can be supplemented with a brush, other techniques, or appliqué.


A very necessary and important technique for older preschoolers in preparing for school. To draw an object using this technique, you need to imagine what kind of geometric shapes it consists. Each complex object can be depicted using simple components: triangles, circles, squares, ovals, rectangles. The purpose of templateography is to compose and depict a separate object or plot picture, outlining pre-prepared templates of geometric shapes.

For classes you will need: paper, a simple pencil, colored pencils, a template with geometric shapes (you can purchase a ready-made one, or you can make it yourself).

At the initial stage, you can offer your child examples of drawing various objects using a template of geometric shapes. A child learns to draw geometric shapes with a simple pencil, creating a single whole. Complete the finished composition in color. Gradually complicate the tasks, assuming greater independence of the child’s actions. Teach the sequence of creating a plot: first outline the main, most large form and then move on to the details. An indicator of complete mastery of patternography is the child’s ability to independently come up with a plot and implement it.

From personal experience: excellent preparation for this technique are games with - laying out various figures from blocks.


All the non-traditional techniques we have considered: stamping, monotype, thread printing, spraying, etc. - this is only a certain, very small part of the techniques of non-traditional drawing. In the future, I plan to introduce you to other, no less interesting and fascinating techniques.

I would be very glad if you share your drawings made using unconventional drawing techniques - write and send photos to: [email protected] , I will be happy to publish your work on the pages of the site.

When the paint dries, use the tip of a soft brush to paint the animal’s eyes, nose, mouth, mustache and other characteristic details.

"Graphics"

Material: Black paper, sheets of white paper, white and black gouache.
Work progress.
First way:
Monochrome technique. Apply the image with white gouache on a black background (note: it is necessary to show a sense of proportion). Castles, landscapes, and miniature paintings look expressive in this way. Preliminary sketches can be done in pencil. The mistake can be safely retouched with gouache or black ink, choosing the desired shade.
Second way:
Polychrome technique. They work with white gouache on a black background. The white tone will add freshness and brightness. In exceptional cases, for example when painting Easter eggs or spinning wheels, a colored background is acceptable.

Drawing with gouache with the addition of white

Theme: “Still Life”, “Landscape”, “Abstraction”.
Adding white to different paint colors produces lighter shades of the original color. The resulting color sensations are tenderness, lightness, airiness.
