The overwhelming majority of children find it very fascinating to leave traces of these interesting colored sticks called "pencil" on everything that comes to hand. Just a year-old boy, barely standing on his feet, takes in his hands a pencil, a felt-tip pen and starts to paint the wallpaper in the apartment. As a rule, the resistance of adults in this case ends in defeat. It is difficult to prevent this, it remains to console ourselves that repairs are still inevitable, and these lessons will be useful. And if you have already donated wallpaper, then you need to get the most from your new lesson!
What is the use of drawing? Doing sports makes the child healthier, learning to read, maths are more intelligent, etc. But what does drawing give, if the goal of becoming an artist is not worth it? Drawing is a fascinating way of development and a powerful tool for educating a child, a "window" in the world of a child's soul, so often tightly closed even to the closest.
Where to begin?
So, you decided to pay attention to drawing the baby. Your main concern is to ensure the process of drawing, i.e. than, on what and where. Start by preparing a work place for a small artist. I want to note that you can draw while standing, and sitting on your knees on the floor. If traditionally - at the table - then the legs of the baby must necessarily reach the floor. Remember only about the correct lighting. It will require paper of different formats, cardboard, pencils, markers, gouache, watercolors, brushes of different thickness, paper and wet napkins. The issue of dressing is actual, because children can be removed in paint from head to foot. What could it be? And that it is not a pity to get dirty, and that the kid feels freer, and you avoid unnecessary sorrows. It is often not necessary to wash these clothes, it is enough simply to dry it. As, however, and often wash your hands in the process of drawing. Exotic spots - it's even more interesting and attractive for the young draftsman than the age-old sterility.
If you put paper, pens, markers, brushes, sharpen pencils on time, then "Kalyaki Malyaki" for a long time can enthrall the child. The desired sequence for the supply of image means: pencils, markers, paints, and at first gouache. And in the way from the first scrawl to confident power over the sheet!
First, let's learn how to draw the simplest: points, sticks, circles. Not interested? And if you beat these elements, turn them into various objects or phenomena of nature, every meeting of the kid with a pencil make an exciting game? Draw a cloud from which the rain is about to start. The child suggests using the points to draw a rain. Even more like a young artist to draw droplets-dots-stitches on top of a painted or pasted hare or teddy bear, flower or grass, etc. (the rain soaked up). You can draw rain, accompanied by a rhyme:
Rain, rain, more cheerful!
Cap-cap-cap.
Drip, drip, water lei!
Cap-cap-cap.
On a flower, and a leaf,
Cap-cap-cap.
On the path, and the meadow,
Cap-cap-cap.
In this case, the words "cap-cap-cap" are accompanied by the application of droplets of rain. Rain can be painted not only with pencils and felt-tip pens. Give the child the opportunity to do it with gouache paint by "primakivaniya" (brush pressed to a sheet of paper and immediately taken away). And, in order not to frighten the kid with the complexity of this process, it's better to type the paint first. Yes, and you can draw with the child, wrapping his hand with a brush his hand. Feeling confident, the kid himself will refuse your help. "Primakivaniem" you can draw traces from the feet of people and animals, accompanying him with a pottage:
Huge feet went along the road:
To-oh-oh-n, then-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh ...
Tiny legs ran along the path:
Top top top! Top!
Top top top! Top!
The words "top-top-top" are accompanied by "stamping" tassels on paper. Traces of large legs are drawn with a broad brush, and traces of small legs are thin. Small footprints will leave behind a duck, a mouse, a hedgehog. Big traces are the elephant, the bear. Take the appropriate toys or, if there is a little time, make animals out of paper, cut out of old magazines. Let them in your hands they stamp on paper, and the baby leaves a trail behind them.
If the window is golden autumn, around the full fallen leaves near the trees. They look bright on the green grass. Invite the baby to draw fallen leaves or in some places the flowers that occur in the same way as the tracks. It looks beautiful on a dark background (blue - evening, darker - night) falling snow ... Of course, it will be in winter! Then draw the outlines of a white cloud at the top of a sheet of paper and the ground below and suggest showing how:
Flying snowflakes - Light fuzz.
In the courtyard white-white, How much snow has set!
On the dark sheet is the sky - you can draw the moon and the stars, a colorful salute.
Assignments are more difficult
You can draw a child to draw straight and curved lines. At first, these can be bristles brush for drawing, brushes. It is important that the baby draws them in the right place (the base is drawn by you). Then, drawing a small triangle with a point-spout, suggest the baby to finish the spines - it will be a hedgehog. If on the silhouettes of Christmas trees the baby draws many, many needles - the Christmas tree will become more beautiful. Cow and goat - weed, balls - a thread ... Yes, you can not think of games-tasks for the baby? That's how your own development program will develop.
Like, especially boys, to play, leaving traces on a sheet of paper (even better on a piece of wallpaper - they are longer!) From the available cars in the arsenal. You're driving a car, and the child is drawing. You can switch roles. The red car leaves traces of red, blue - blue, etc. The road can be straight, with turns, winding.
Harder for children is to learn how to draw circles. First, ask the child to show his hand a round ball, an apple. Then draw in the air a hand with a pencil (brush) a large ball, a small ball. The Kid will do it with you with pleasure. Then try to draw round objects already described by the "baby's hand in yours". And let the circles first and not circles at all - not scary. Each time will get better, and the joy of getting a child will be more and more. And even if nothing happens, give the opportunity to try again and again, praise for the slightest luck, even for the desire to paint, that the right brush took. Then it will be rings and balls, balls and wheels, necessarily large and small, monochrome and colorful, nuts, berries, etc.
The child will have the opportunity to create and create. Will make the first steps into the world of beauty. Learn to distinguish color, shape, size as special properties of objects. Only pay attention to this difference. Do not forget to remind that pencils in a box of different colors, objects can be large and small (for dad and for daughter), etc. However, do not ask the child for special memorization and use of color names, shapes of objects, and quantities. It is enough if this or that concept is linked in the child's conception with the real object. So the name of color can be associated with an object of a distinctive color (yellow sand, orange carrot). The name of the form is with a real object for which the characteristic is characteristic (circle - ball or ball, square - cube, triangle - roof).
Offer the child to draw not only pencils, paints, but also crayons. Pin a sheet of large format to the wall, the child will have the first easel or the first school board. A new place - new impressions, a burst of creative forces! Begin drawing with the simplest images, gradually making them more complicated. The Kid will happily execute on paper your wishes and your fantasy drawings, learn to find in lines and forms a similarity with surrounding objects, with the phenomena of nature. Your task is to ask what he drew, do not know - think up yourself for the similarity drawn with real objects.
Just do not limit children's freedom and looseness, using the method of complex developmental programs for children - drawing should not turn into learning techniques. Let it become for your baby a new and interesting means of knowing the world around you. Do not try to impose a drawing on a child, but try to entice him to it. Remember the saying of the sage: "A child is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire that must be lit". More important is the occupation itself, not the result. The advantages of home drawing are obvious: a small creator is not limited in any way, immersion in the process is as complete as possible, and, essentially - you can actively draw, play with the baby, live with his interests, while developing it and educating!
