The end of summer is the beginning of autumn beauty! Trees painted in bright colors, warm weather and pleasant sunshine in Indian summer will be just the thing for colorful and lush outdoor photo shoots.
The best time for a planned photo shoot is September and early October, when it is still warm enough outside for long walks. Below are some of the best ideas for an unforgettable autumn children's photo shoot.
What is the beauty of autumn?
Autumn is a wonderful time of year, representing calm and preparation of the surrounding weather for winter. Fall of colorful leaves, the ground covered with old robes of trees, a rich harvest of ripe berries, fruits and vegetables, warm but no longer scorching sun - real autumn weather, painted with rich and noble colors.
And if the autumn season inspires adults with peace of mind, pleasant chores of harvesting and active recreation in nature, then a playful form will help to attract the child to complete the task. As an option: collecting leaves to create a herbarium, active recreation, sports games (football, basketball), competition for the best drawing.
When the accent is nature itself
The least expensive option is to use all available means to style the image. Tree leaves and twigs with rowan berries can be used to create bouquets or wreaths. The best choice, of course, is maple. Cones and lush pine legs to decorate the space. The location can be any, but photographs will look more interesting against the backdrop of a carpet of fallen leaves or a small pond with ducks, wrought-iron benches in a park, or fallen trees covered with moss. A particularly unusual background would be a vine-covered wall or an iron fence. It is better to find out the weather forecast in advance and decide on a date in sunny weather; rain will be inappropriate for such photographs.
Magic in reality
If you have a New Year's suit lying around, then it's time to give it a second wind. Any fairy-tale character will look great among the colors of autumn nature. The image of a gnome, little red riding hood, fairy, elf or forest dweller is perfect. It would be an original idea to create a scene from a fairy tale or simply feed squirrels and ducks in the park. Plunge into the pool of fantasies and fiction! Give your child some freedom; often the most sincere photographs are taken in his natural environment.
Harvesting
The Autumn holiday can be combined with the day of the photo shoot. Folk Slavic clothing will look good against the backdrop of autumn nature. There are an incredible variety of ideas. Gather a colorful bouquet of asters or chrysanthemums, fill a wicker basket with bright seasonal vegetables and ruddy fruits, choose the largest pumpkin and take a few pictures of the child riding on it, throw dry leaves into the air. The endless field will also serve as a good interior. Throw on a warm blanket or put on a multi-colored sweater or hoodie - a cozy atmosphere in the photo is guaranteed! If you have a favorite pet, take it with you. Animals always add their own special touch to your photos, just don't forget their favorite treats for attention or encouragement. Halloween celebrations can also be timed to coincide with the theme of your photo shoot. Choose a costume of any evil spirit, create the appropriate atmosphere, apply makeup. Experiment and you definitely won’t go wrong!
There is no such thing as bad weather
What could be more fun than running through deep puddles with impunity? Thematic photo shooting in rainy weather will provide many unique and positive emotions! Take rubber boots, warm and waterproof clothing, a raincoat or an umbrella. You can start taking photographs in all sorts of accessible and well-lit places. Gold, burgundy, deep purple and green shades will look incredibly beautiful on photo cards. A bright umbrella and boots, along with neutral colors in clothes, will play a key role in placing accents in the pictures. Give your child freedom, let him express himself, fool around a little. There is nothing better than heartfelt pictures!
If you have little time, you can use the services of a stylist. Following his recommendations, the photo shoot will definitely turn out to be unique. You shouldn’t neglect the photographer’s advice. A professional who knows his business will always tell you how to choose the right angle, pose, and movement. It is also worth remembering that when choosing a photoshoot theme, it is better not to combine more than two ideas together, so as not to oversaturate the pictures.
A child’s melancholic mood associated with the start of the school year can always be brightened up by a great time spent with the whole family in nature. Make the most of it - capture these moments forever in your memory and in photographs. And most importantly, always take with you a great mood, your favorite snacks and hot drinks! Create lasting impressions for yourself and your child, arrange a little adventure. The result will not disappoint you! The resulting atmospheric photo portraits will decorate your family photo album with warm colors and remind you of the pleasant and sincere emotions you once experienced.
Drawing on the theme “Autumn” in kindergarten
Autumn drawings for kindergarten 2021 represent elementary work in the eyes of adults. However, if you look at the task through the eyes of a child, it will seem as difficult to him as painting a still life for an adult. Therefore, it is very important to show support for your child’s homework, helping him with difficult creativity.
For children (child) 3-4 years old
A very young artist cannot reproduce masterpieces. But this does not mean that this frees him from completing the task. Teachers in preschool institutions (kindergarten, additional education and development courses) encourage parents to engage in motor skills and the child’s creative potential: draw leaves, rowan berries, raindrops and other drawings with their fingers.
In the photo below you can find various autumn drawings for kindergarten made with your fingers, which are suitable as an example for completing the given work in 2021.
For children (child) 5-6 years old
Kindergarten graduates can create fall pictures using fresh leaves, a white wax candle, and watercolors. The essence of the work is as follows:
1) place a large maple leaf under a sheet of paper and hold it with a candle; 2) this is repeated with each leaf of the tree until the sketch is ready; 3) watercolor paint in the autumn color palette (yellow, orange, red) is applied on top.
Little hippie
Portrait shots in this style will look original and interesting. Accessories are not expensive, and perhaps the photographer himself even has them in stock for such cases. Little models will delight in the idea of dressing up, running and playing. You can use a poncho or leather jacket as outer and warm clothing. Memorable accents will also come in handy. You can bring this idea to life in almost any location and in any weather. You can take treats and drinks with you to make the atmosphere on set more relaxed and inviting.
Autumn drawings appropriate for kindergarten and school 2018
There are also crafts that are suitable not only for kindergarten, but also for elementary school. These include: painting fresh leaves using gouache, drawings drawn using the graffiti technique with crayons, drawing based on templates.
Below are several master classes with photos, distinguished by their versatility. This is because they are suitable for children of different ages.
Animals and autumn
You can convey autumn motifs on a sheet of paper not only with the help of nature, but also with animals. A hedgehog in the leaves or with an apple on needles running through a meadow of mushrooms, a squirrel on a deciduous tree, a bear preparing a den for the winter, a red cat against the backdrop of “golden autumn” - once again they prove that absolutely any design can be depicted on paper.
Autumn drawings for kindergarten and school 2021 are an interesting task for both children and their parents. It unites the family over a seemingly “simple” work, helping to find common ground and ideas for drawing for children of different ages: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and even 9 years old.
