Teaching a child to draw Automatic translate

Each kid constantly discovers something new in the world around him. As a rule, each time he seeks to share this discovery with others. When the crumb understands that with the help of drawings it is possible to convey everything that excites him, that he saw what he liked, drawing will become a means of reflecting new impressions.

When is it best to start painting with your baby? Parents should solve this issue, focusing on the interest and desire of the child. After all, by half a year his experience was incredibly vast. By 7 months, the baby is already trying to take the first steps and sits at a table with adults. Why not try drawing?

To begin with, you should start drawing with your own little ones. Show him colors and show off color combinations. When naming an object, also add the name of the color (blue sky, green leaves, yellow sun). It is very important to use both primary colors and shades: turquoise, pink, beige, emerald and so on. The kid is easy, it will remember all this with ease.

In the life of a child, the first drawing lessons are a very important event. After all, first impressions are always the most vivid. It is they who lay the attitude to painting.

You can go to real creativity from 9 months. It is necessary to draw on wallpaper or on large sheets. It is advisable to start with a marker, and then add pencils and pens. A earnest request to all mothers and fathers: do not expect masterpieces from a child! Do not forget to praise him. Keep in mind that the first movement on a piece of paper with a pencil is the process of a child learning a picture of the world.

From the first lessons it is necessary to teach the baby to take a brush, pencil, felt-tip pen correctly: with three fingers, medium and large, holding the index finger on top. It must be ensured that the child does not squeeze the pencil very strongly with his fingers, because this can lead to stiffness of movements.

What is good to know?

Why is it that it is difficult for a child to hold a pencil, a brush in his hand, he constantly drops them and grabs them again with his whole pen? The thing is that he was already used to grabbing all objects in the cam, not with his fingers. The correct grip is inconvenient for him. You need to be patient, shift the pencil, thereby accustoming the baby to hold it with three fingers. When the child’s handle is strong, the correct grip will gradually fix. But if you do not follow this, then the baby will keep a pencil and a brush in his fist.

The first drawing of the child will consist only of horizontal lines. In a couple of months, vertical ones will appear. Then the baby will understand that there are also circles. Then he will begin to connect all the lines together.

By 1.5 years, the baby is already trying to draw plot drawings. It is very important to let him draw with both hands. The left must also participate in the process. This will help the child to develop harmoniously.

By the age of 2, he already draws with his hand, and then with his fingers. In order to accelerate this process, it is necessary to teach the baby to draw small objects. For example, you can draw a car and ask the baby to paint the body and wheels. To the tree - draw leaves. Then draw a chicken and invite the child to draw a beak, eyes and legs.

Drawing plays a huge role in the formation of speech in the baby. As we know, the movement of the fingers leads to the activation of speech activity. Therefore, the more attention is paid to the period when the baby learns to speak, the faster the process of speech development will go on him. Drawing classes perform several functions: enhancing speech activity, perceiving the outside world through drawing, as well as increasing the baby’s self-esteem.

In addition, drawing is very useful for unloading and helps to cope with stressful situations. For example, if the baby had a bad dream, invite him to draw it.

Drawing examples for kids.

Cheerful train. Draw a train on a piece of paper. It doesn’t matter if it looks like a real one. Indeed, even the very modest artistic abilities of mothers always delight kids. For a child, mom is the best. So she draws the best! Now you can start drawing trailers for the train. Then, with the crumbs in turn, portray the passengers in the windows. You might want to portray your family on the train. Do not forget about the dog, the parrot or the hamster. You can also depict your favorite cartoon characters and fairy tales. The most important thing is that everyone has fun. In the meadows, depict colorful butterflies.

Fish. In order to draw fish, you will need wax crayons, a brush, a watercolor, a landscape sheet and an oval made of cardboard. At the beginning of the lesson, it is advisable to show the baby fish (living, drawn or in the form of toys) and explain that the body of the fish has an oval shape. Put the blank on a piece of paper and ask the child to draw a wax chalk around the oval. Then, together with the child, draw the gills, mouth, eyes, draw the tail and fins. After that, you can supplement the picture with algae. Paint the background blue.

Cartoon or fairy tale. For starters, you can choose a fairy tale. Heroes are drawn with the finger of a child. Mom draws with felt-tip pen details.

One way to paint with paints is to stick. Take a brush, pick up the paint on it and apply flat to the paper. It turns out a beautiful, even print. What is portrayed in this way?

Elegant dress for the princess. Draw a princess in a magnificent dress. Carefully consider what patterns are on the fabrics. Show the kid how to decorate the dress with the “priming” technique. It can be stars, stripes and flowers. Do not forget to draw jewelry - beads, earrings. You can also make a beautiful carpet, tablecloth. However, here the task is a little complicated. It is necessary to apply a pattern around the edges and try to make it symmetrical.

Flowers. First, make the middle of the flower with the tip of the brush. After that, in a circle around her, “attach” the petals.

The birds. Using different colors and brushes of different sizes, you can draw a bird. We draw the torso with the thickest brush, and the wings with a smaller brush. With the same brush, draw the tail - four attachments. The paws and the head are made in the usual way.

Gift box. To get started, take some box. It is advisable to glue it in advance with light-colored paper. Ask your baby to make a beautiful gift box. It is better to consider such boxes in advance with the baby so that he makes out patterns. Pay attention to the fact that patterns can be applied not only with a brush, but also with a cotton swab. The work performed should be used as intended.

What should you know about children’s drawings?

They are a mirror of the development, maturity and feelings of your child. You can learn a lot from his “masterpieces”. However, you must be able to "read" these messages. Psychologists say that the drawings of babies are of great interest for understanding their personal characteristics and feelings. Therefore, the child should always have a pencil and paper at hand. Do not criticize the drawings. Select the best of them and hang somewhere in the apartment. Arrange an exhibition, invite grandparents and other close people. Perhaps their enthusiasm will inspire the kid to new masterpieces.

Children try to display their inner world in pictures. Be sure to peer at what the child draws and listen to what he tells about his drawings. After all, the child draws what excites him.

Be sure to pay attention to what colors the baby chooses for the drawings. For example, the predominance of gray and black colors can speak of hidden fears, shyness and timidity. Red and orange colors tell us about the need for crumbs in warmth. Toddlers who feel the need for security use green as a rule. An “alarming” color is a reason to sound the alarm. Let the child draw, and maybe in decades, his oil paintings will be sold at auctions for millions of dollars.
