Non-traditional drawing techniques in classes in the middle group
Children 4–5 years old often experience uncertainty, sometimes even fear, before drawing classes. The skill of using a pencil and brush is still developing; form-building movements are rarely accurate. In basic drawing classes, middle group students learn to draw vertical and horizontal lines with a pencil, a continuous line with a brush, draw simple shapes and practice the skill of painting within a contour. Children's attention is unstable, they get tired quickly, monotonous activities reduce interest in the work being done. Drawing in unconventional ways surprises children and activates their attention to creating images on paper using unusual objects and tools. Watching the teacher draw with a fork or toothbrush, the children experience delight and a desire to draw as well.
During drawing classes using non-traditional techniques, developmental and educational tasks should be performed that correspond to the age characteristics of children in the middle group:
- Development of fine motor skills of the hands. Performing actions with various instruments develops the child’s hand; on the tips of the fingers and the surface of the palms, nerve endings are excited, which send an impulse to the cerebral cortex - the thinking and speech centers are activated.
- Development of spatial thinking and visual perception of objects. The child learns to find individual details and shapes in the image of an object, which he can convey in the process of drawing on paper. By making blots, drawing with wax, and making prints, the children consolidate the ability to determine the center of the sheet and develop a sense of composition and rhythm.
- Training in working with a variety of materials. During the classes, children will learn that images can be created not only with the usual paints and pencils on a white sheet of paper. Everyday objects, natural and waste materials are used in creative work; cardboard and colored paper are used as the basis.
- Activation of imagination and the formation of interest in independently thinking through a plan. If drawing classes in non-traditional ways are carried out as part of the functioning of an additional education circle, it is recommended to arrange a rack with signed boxes in the room where the students study. As children master the skills of various techniques, they gain access to a variety of materials. Students in the middle group can be given a choice of tools with which they want to draw a picture on the topic of the lesson. You can allow children to take turns choosing an object that has not previously been studied as part of non-traditional drawing: at the beginning of the lesson, the student chooses an object, the teacher tells how to create an image with it.
- Creating a good mood, developing self-confidence, relieving tension and fears. Drawing in non-traditional ways with children of the middle group contains game elements at its core: actions are accompanied by sentences (“Rain-rain, drip-drip-drip!” - dots are made with a cotton swab. “One is an apple, two is an apple, then there will be compote !” - prints are made with an apple slice, etc.), creating drawings is a solution to a problem situation (dandelions do not bloom on a poster with a picture of a lawn, and children draw flowers on it with a poke), etc.
- Formation of interest in collective activities. Children 4–5 years old do not yet know how to work harmoniously in pairs or groups. In the middle group, children learn to think through an individual plan. But the students are happy to complete simple tasks together. The teacher announces the task, the children will perform the same actions on a common sheet of paper (whatman paper or half-whatman paper). For example, in the “Autumn Forest” lesson, the task is given to draw the crowns of trees with a piece of foam rubber. The guys sit down at a common table, on which lies a Whatman paper depicting bare trunks and branches of trees. Everyone chooses a tree, takes a piece of foam rubber and paints the leaves with yellow, orange, brown and red paints. At the end of such classes, the teacher must draw the children’s attention to the fact that such a complete and beautiful picture was obtained due to the fact that everyone worked well.
- Development of aesthetic taste. The technique of non-traditional drawing teaches children to create texture of an object, imitation of animal fur or bird plumage using non-classical techniques. Children develop the ability to see beauty in the unusual. Shapeless prints of a foam sponge or a poke with a hard brush look organic in the finished work. In the process of drawing, children develop the ability to combine colors in pattern elements and begin to select solutions for creating an image on a colored background.
In drawing classes using non-traditional techniques, it is necessary to observe the principle of continuity of knowledge. By creating images with unusual objects or non-classical techniques, the children in their works consolidate and improve the skills acquired in regular classes: they outline the outline of an object with a brush or pencil for further drawing in an unconventional way; decorate the picture with appliqué elements (paper or plasticine); complete the elements of the subject as usual; learn to paint the background.
Finger painting (fingergraphy)
Until school age (7 years), the leading processes through which a child studies objects and phenomena of the surrounding world remain visual and tactile sensations. In the younger groups, finger painting was both a game and a transitional stage to the classical drawing technique; the children mostly filled in printed pictures with multi-colored dots. In the middle group, students form and develop the skill of drawing various elements with their fingers: dots, spots, strokes, lines. It’s fun to intentionally get dirty with paint, smearing paint with your fingers is a special feeling, creating an image with strokes rather than just painting is satisfying with the result. During classes, special finger paints can be used: they are hypoallergenic and safe if they get into the mouth, and have a light consistency. Traditionally, in the middle group they paint with gouache, but it is possible to paint with fingers using watercolor paints: they are not as thick as gouache, but you need to dip your finger in a glass of water before picking up paint, or first drop clean water with a brush into the cells with watercolors.
With students in the middle group, you can try finger painting using diagrams. On the board there are step-by-step instructions on how to draw an image of a person or animal using prints and adding pencil squiggles. The teacher voices each stage, demonstrates its implementation, and the children repeat. Maps of step-by-step drawing of pictures with fingers are presented in numerous manuals for parents and preschool teachers (for example, in the book “Imprint, dot, stroke. Drawing with fingers” by Ilona Molnar).
Finger painting in the middle group
Fingertip drawing technique:
- The child dips his finger into a jar or bowl with gouache paint.
- Each finger is painted with a different color.
- The child draws with his fingertips on a sheet of paper, re-painting the desired color if necessary.
- At the end of the work, wash your fingers with soap, the gouache is easily washed off.

Drawing with palms
Painting with palms, like with fingertips, involves imprinting and smearing paint. Drawing options in this technique for middle school students: “Make a palm print and complete the drawing to make a bird, octopus, fish, etc.” (children can draw additional elements with a brush or finger), “Complete the picture with handprints to make it…” (handprints become leaves on tree branches, flowers in a vase, hedgehog needles).
Collective drawing with palms in the middle group
Palm painting technique:
- The child puts his hand in a saucer of paint. In the middle group, children should learn to apply paint to their palm using a brush held with the other hand; this skill is practiced in classes on the topics “Bullfinch”, “Titmouse”, “Butterfly”, when the palm print should be multi-colored.
- The palm and fingers are pressed tightly onto a sheet of paper to make an impression. You can make circular, vertical or horizontal movements with your palm according to your design.
- At the end of work, wash your hands with soap.

Combination of fingerprinting techniques with palm painting
For pupils of the middle group, tasks are offered on drawing an object composition or a complex image using palms and fingers. First, handprints are made to indicate large details or the basis of the design, then additional elements are drawn with the fingers. A combination of finger painting and palm painting techniques is used in tasks on the topics “Fairytale Tree”, “Swans”, “Funny Octopuses”, “Fishes”. In these tasks, children develop the ability to find the center of the composition, combine various finger painting techniques, colors and shades of paint to accurately convey the image.

Poking drawing
The poking method is great for simulating fluffy and prickly objects or objects. During the lesson you will need sheets of paper of any color or shaped blanks in the form of animals, brushes with stiff bristles, gouache, a glass of water, and napkins. Poke drawing classes are held on the topics “Cat”, “Christmas tree”, “Hedgehog”, “Dandelions”, “Bunny in winter”.
Poking technique:
- A dry brush is placed in a jar of gouache and paint is drawn up.
- Holding the brush vertically, hit the paper with it - you get a poke.
- Before picking up paint of a different color, the brush should be rinsed in a glass and blotted well with a napkin. The poke is made only with a semi-dry brush.
- The outline of the depicted item or object is filled with pokes; the details necessary according to the plan can be drawn with an ordinary brush.
"Fluffy kitten"
The guys pick up gouache with a hard brush and poke it on paper
Poking process
The kids draw the kitten’s face, paws, and bowl with a simple brush.
Work examples
Monotype
Monotype is a drawing technique by imprinting part of an image. This method of drawing is considered simple, but suitable for classes in every group; older preschoolers draw landscape monotypes using various colors and shades in one work. Drawing with monotype improves the ability to find the middle of an object and develops a sense of symmetry.
Monotype technique:
- A sheet of paper is folded in the middle.
- Spots are drawn on one part of the paper using paints of different colors.
- The sheet is folded and ironed with the palm of your hand.
- The sheet opens and the resulting image can be decorated using a brush and paints.
"Butterfly"
Spots are applied to one part of the sheet with the marked middle
The process of painting spots with different colors
A sheet of paper is folded along the fold line and unfolded
The abdomen and antennae are painted on with a brush
Using the monotype technique, you can create not only a symmetrical image, but also a drawing with two identical objects. In this case, the entire object is drawn on one half of the paper and imprinted on the other half of the sheet in a mirror image.
An example of drawing a composition using the monotype technique
Drawing with a toothbrush
The technique of drawing with a toothbrush is simple: the guys put paint on the bristles and draw lines on a sheet of paper in accordance with the design. It is recommended to combine these drawing classes in the middle group with other non-traditional drawing techniques (finger, cotton swabs) or appliqué elements.
"Herringbone"
A triangle of colored paper is glued onto the sheet - the trunk

Spray
Children become familiar with the spraying technique in younger groups: they pick up paint with a toothbrush or comb, direct it onto a sheet of paper and, by running a pencil over the bristles/teeth, they get colored splashes. In the middle group, the ability to create drawings using multi-layer spraying is developed.
Multi-layer spray technique:
- Stencils are used to create an image. In classes to introduce this technique, stencils are attached to a sheet of paper with paper clips.
- Paint is drawn onto the brush and splashed on top of a sheet of paper.
- The next stencil according to the plan is applied, splashes of a different shade are made.
- The stencils are removed to create a complex image that imitates the volume of an object or a composition with foreground and background.
"Winter forest"
Stencils: snowdrifts, tree trunks and crowns, snowflakes
Splash tools and watered down paints First coat
Second layer
Third layer

Drawing with a sponge or piece of foam rubber
The technique of painting with a sponge or foam rubber is based on the formation of the skill of printing with paint. Foam rubber prints create the texture of an object; they are used to draw animal fur, fluffy bunches of flowers, clouds, tree crowns, etc. For classes, you can purchase sponges for drawing in this technique, or together with your children you can make a simple and easy-to-print tool: a piece The foam is grabbed with a clothespin, which will act as a handle.
"Chick"
A piece of foam rubber is cut from the sponge
We grab the foam rubber with a clothespin (the guys perform this action independently)
We put paint on the foam rubber and print in a vertical motion
Draw a chicken
Add details with a brush
Printing with natural materials
Drawing with prints is a simple way of drawing: paint is drawn or applied with a brush onto the printed surface of an object, and with a vertical movement we place the print on a sheet of paper. For students in the middle group, tasks on creating a composition from prints using classical drawing techniques are suitable. For example, for the task “Cooking compote,” the children use a brush to draw the outlines of a pan, within which they will place multi-colored prints of half an apple. Natural printing material options: leaves, flat flowers (daisies, daisies), shells, cut cucumbers, apples, lemons.
"Vegetable salad"
For printing you will need onions and cucumbers
Paint a salad bowl with a brush
We collect paint with an onion and apply it to the sheet.
Onion prints
Printing with cucumber
Salad ready
Drawing with cotton swabs
In the younger groups, the guys tried to draw with cotton swabs: they picked up paint and decorated paper blanks or an image on a sheet of paper with dots (a Christmas tree, a sundress, a teapot). For students in the middle group, the task becomes more complicated: they develop the ability to create an image with a cotton swab on a blank sheet of paper. The children draw with dots, spots, strokes, various lines and simple geometric shapes (rings, circles). Drawing with dots using cotton swabs will be of particular importance when introducing the pointillism technique in older groups.
"Rowan Branch"
To work you need several cotton swabs, watercolor or gouache
The branch is drawn with lines
Berries are drawn in spots
Bunches of rowan berries are drawn
Leaves are drawn with strokes
The cores of the berries are drawn with dots
Rowan branch is ready
Drawing with cotton pads
Cotton pads in non-traditional drawing classes can be used as a tool for working with gouache, or can be used as an unusual material for the basis of a drawing. Draw with cotton pads, applying them to a sheet of paper with the entire surface, folded in half or into a quarter.
"Flower"
The cotton pad is folded to obtain the desired shape of the part, paint is collected
Prints with a cotton pad according to design
Elements are drawn with a brush
"Balloons"
Creating the background of the picture - the sky Glueing cotton pads - balls
Drawing on cotton pads
Patterns on cotton pads
The threads of the balls are finished with a brush
Drawing with a fork
Another option for printing with an unusual object is drawing with a fork (metal or plastic). The gouache is poured into a flat plate, the flat surface of a fork is used to scoop up paint and make prints on the paper.
"Tulips"
Putting paint on a fork
Place a fork against a sheet of paper
Prints
Draw stems and leaves with a brush
Tulips are ready
Drawing with crumpled paper
You can make paint prints using a crumpled piece of paper. Drawing tasks using this technique are made more difficult for middle school students by combining elements of classical drawing or appliqué.
"Leaves Are Falling"
The guys make an applique from strips of paper - trunk and branches
Use a crumpled piece of paper to make gouache prints - leaves
Work examples
Blotography
Blotography is a method of creating an image using spots and blots. To practice this technique you will need watercolors, a glass of water, a brush and a plastic tube. Blots can be supplemented with a design in the classical way; you can initially create a design on paper that will be decorated with blots as intended.
Blot painting technique:
- Apply watercolor paint with a brush well soaked in water.
- A spot is made on a sheet of paper or a drop is placed.
- Blowing air out of the tube, draw a blot with paint.
"Cherry Blossom"
Place a drop on a sheet of paper Blow through the tubes onto the paint Blow up the blot - the trunk Place drops of paint on the tree trunk and blow up the branches Place drops of green paint Blow up the grass Put drops of white paint Complement with pink paint Blow up the drops - cherry blossoms
Nitcography
Drawing with wool thread in the middle group consists of putting paint on the thread, applying it to a sheet of paper and creating a pattern by imprinting with the movement of the thread. The wool thread creates a fancy pattern that is suitable for depicting a cloud or a cloud, a dog or a sheep.
"Tuchka"
The thread with the collected paint is placed on a sheet of paper. The thread is covered with another sheet on top, the child moves the thread in different directions, creating a pattern. Use a brush to draw drops. The cloud is ready.
Drawing with semolina
In fact, children draw with glue (usually PVA). A layer of glue is applied to the marked outline of the image with a brush, semolina is poured in and a sheet of paper is firmly placed on top. Then the excess semolina is shaken off from the drawing and the next detail is created in the same way. In the middle group, children develop the ability to carefully trace a stencil and apply glue within the outline. Since semolina is white, colored paper or cardboard is used as a basis for drawing in this technique.
"Gift for Mom"
We trace the stencil
Apply a layer of glue to the outline of the flower with a brush.
Pour semolina and place a sheet of paper on top
Shake off excess grains
Using this method, we complete the next element - a stem with leaves. The gift for mom is ready
Drawing with a candle
Children develop skills in drawing lines, spots, and simple geometric shapes with an unusual tool - a candle. For this lesson you will need a thick sheet of white paper as a base, a simple candle (a piece of a candle), watercolor paints and a brush.
Candle painting technique:
- On a sheet of paper with a candle, the children draw details according to plan.
- Use a brush to paint the sheet with watercolor paint.
- Wax images appear through watercolors.
"Winter landscape"
Using a candle, draw a Christmas tree at the bottom of the sheet, and snowflakes at the top.
Paint the sheet with watercolors of blue, cyan and black
Winter landscape is ready
Drawing with wax crayons
In drawing classes using this technique, children develop two classic skills at once - drawing with a pencil (wax crayons, as a rule, have the shape of pencils) and filling the background with one or more watercolor colors using a brush. The results are unusual and vibrant works.
"Summer Meadow"
On a sheet of white paper we draw flowers, butterflies, the sun
Fill the leaf with blue and green watercolors
Finished work
Scratch (waxography)
With students in the middle group, you can try grattage - drawing by scratching lines on paper filled with ink or paint. Children at home with their parents can prepare the basis for painting using this technique for the lesson; you can do this part of the work in kindergarten (but keep in mind that drying the paint will take a certain period of time). To create the base you need wax crayons, black gouache and a wide brush, and for scratching - a pointed stick (you can use a wooden skewer for frying meat).
Waxography technique:
- Color the surface of the sheet with wax crayons.
- Paint the sheet with black gouache.
- Let the paint dry completely.
- Scratch the paint to create a pattern with lines.
"House"
Paint the sheet with wax crayons of different colors
Apply black gouache over the wax
Let the paint dry
Scratching the drawing
Finished work
Drawing through wet gauze
In non-traditional drawing classes, children will learn that they can make a drawing using unusual tools, or they can paint with a familiar brush and paints, but using additional unexpected materials. Thus, using wet gauze to work allows you to create an original work.
Technique for drawing through gauze:
- Using cotton swabs, draw water from a glass and wet the entire surface of the sheet well.
- Apply a layer of gauze to the wet sheet and straighten it. The gauze should stick and be motionless on the paper.
- On top of the gauze we paint with watercolors using a brush, as usual. Leave the drawing until completely dry.
- We remove the gauze from the dried work - a pattern remains on the paper in the form of an imprint of the texture of the gauze fabric.
Drawing using the technique of unconventional drawing through wet gauze
Drawing up notes for a lesson on drawing in non-traditional techniques
The lesson notes should indicate the goals and objectives set by the teacher. You should describe the preliminary work on the topic of the lesson: observing animals and birds, natural phenomena during a walk, reading poems and fairy tales, looking at illustrations in books. The use of motivating material in the classroom is noted (studying pictures and posters, involving small forms of oral folk art, conducting a conversation, creating a surprise moment or game situation), conducting outdoor and didactic games, physical education lessons and finger gymnastics.
In accordance with hygienic standards, a drawing lesson in the middle group lasts no more than 20 minutes and consists of the following stages:
- Organizational moment 1 minute.
- Motivating start of the lesson 4-6 minutes.
- Practical part: direct demonstration of actions by the teacher and drawing by children for 10 minutes.
- Demonstration and discussion of drawings for 2–3 minutes.
- Summing up 1 minute.

Progress of the lesson.
1. Organizational moment.
Children to music from the film “Masha and the Bear. Oil painting" enter the hall.
Educator:
Today we have guests in class. They are very interested in what you and I will be doing today. Say hello to the guests and don't pay any more attention to them.
2. Surprise moment.
Educator | Children |
Guys, do you like to solve riddles? | Yes! |
Now I’ll tell you a riddle, and you try to guess it. | |
I have a lot to do - I'm a white blanket I cover the whole earth, I remove the rivers from ice, I whiten the fields, the houses, but my name is... | Winter. |
That's right, winter. |
There's a knock on the door.
Educator | Children |
Who's knocking on our door? Let's get a look. Nobody here. And here is the letter. Look, there is a snowflake on the envelope. Who could it be from? This letter was sent to us by Queen Winter. She asks you to help her. The queen decided to make a film about how she decorated nature in winter, what patterns she painted on the windows, so that later in the summer, when it was hot, she could admire the winter patterns in her ice palace. But, unfortunately, at the moment when she was editing the film, a strong wind blew and all the frames scattered, leaving only one. No matter how the Queen Winter looked for them, she could not find them. The queen asks you to help her make a film. Well, guys, let's help Queen Winter? | Yes! |
Look guys, what is this? Written “Film “Winter Patterns””. There is the first frame, and the rest are empty. I invite each of you to draw one frame, we will put them together, and we will get a real film. |
3. Conversation.
Educator | Children |
The third month in nature is ruled by Queen Winter. She walks everywhere. What color did she dress nature in? | In white. |
That's right, white and blue and white. How did she decorate nature? | Covered everything with snow. |
Of course, she poured snow everywhere, made snowdrifts, dusted the trees and bushes. I painted patterns on the windows. Why did I say that winter dressed nature in blue and white? | Because in the shade the snow is blue. |
Yes, we observed that in the shade the snow is not pure white, it has a blue tint. Remember what color the snow is in the sun? | White. |
Of course white. What other words can you call it? | Clean, shiny, sparkling, iridescent |
4. Demonstration of drawing techniques.
Educator | Children |
Guys, do you like to draw? | Yes! |
Then you probably know what we need for drawing? | Brushes, paints, paper. |
Why is there styrofoam here? | Children's answers. |
Today we will draw in an unusual way - printmaking. What it is? This is printing from any form, in this case from foam tiles onto paper. |
Dynamic pause.
Like snow, snow on a hill, (stand on tiptoes, arms up) And under the hill there is snow, snow, (squat)
And there’s snow, snow on the tree, (stand up, arms to the sides)
And under the tree there is snow, snow, (we wrap our arms around ourselves)
And a bear sleeps under the snow (swayed from side to side, arms bent at the elbows, in front of the chest, palms facing away)
Hush, hush, don’t make noise, (finger to lips, whisper)
5. Independent activity of children.
First, guys, you need to choose the background on which you will leave your prints. We take our tiles with pressed contour grooves, pick up paint on a brush and apply it evenly to the tile. At the same time, look, the depressed contour grooves will remain uncovered by paint. Now we will make an imprint of the drawing on your background.
In the meantime, while the work is drying, I will read you an excerpt from the story of G. Skrebitsky
about the magic of winter:
“Four Artists”
.
Winter has stretched gray clouds across the sky and let's cover the earth with fresh fluffy snow! One day I painted everything around. The fields and hills turned white. The river became covered with thin ice, became silent, and fell asleep, like in a fairy tale.
She dressed the pines and spruce trees in heavy snow coats; she pulled snow-white hats down to their eyebrows; I put downy mittens on the branches
And below them, various bushes and young trees took refuge. Winter also dressed them, like children, in white fur coats.
And she threw a white blanket over the mountain ash that grows at the edge of the forest. It turned out so well! At the ends of the rowan branches, clusters of berries hang, like red earrings visible from under a white blanket.
The winter forest lives. Snowy fields and valleys live. The whole picture of the gray-haired sorceress - Winter - lives on. You can show it to Sunny too.
The sun parted the blue cloud. He looks at the winter forest, at the valleys... And under his gentle gaze everything around him becomes even more beautiful.
The snow flared up and glowed. Blue, red, green lights lit up on the ground, on the bushes, on the trees. And the breeze blew, shook off the frost from the branches, and multi-colored lights also sparkled and danced in the air.
It turned out to be a wonderful picture! Perhaps you couldn’t draw it better.
Educator | Children |
This is the wonderful picture that Queen Winter painted. Let us also decorate our patterns and make them sparkling. What do we need for this? | Glitter glue. |
Right. Let's take glitter glue and apply it to the grooves that are not covered with paint. Look how our patterns sparkle. |
6. Evaluating children's work.
Praise every work...
8. Summing up the lesson
Educator | Children |
Guys, let's put your shots together. Look how beautiful the winter patterns turned out. Well, the film for the Queen of Winter is ready. We will send it to the Queen in her ice palace. What new did we learn today? Well done! | You can draw not only with pencils and paints. |

Long-term planning for non-traditional drawing in the middle group
Before developing a work program for non-traditional drawing, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with methodological manuals for working with preschoolers in this area:
- Borodkina N.V. Visual activities in kindergarten. Lesson notes for children aged 3 to 7 years. — Academy of Development, 2012.
- Doronova T. N. Nature, art and visual activities of children. — Enlightenment, 2007.
- Nikitina A.V. Non-traditional drawing techniques in kindergarten. — Karo, 2010.
- Lykova I. A. Visual activities in kindergarten. Middle group. — Publishing House Tsvetnoy Mir, 2016
A non-traditional drawing program should contain:
- Goals and objectives of the educational course.
- Methods and techniques of the teacher’s work (visual, verbal, games) used in the classroom.
- Calendar-thematic planning: topics of classes and program content of each.
- Forms of analysis of children's artistic activity: analysis of works, exhibition of drawings in the kindergarten hall, conducting demonstration classes for pupils of younger groups.

Webinar “Non-traditional drawing techniques with preschool children”
Non-traditional drawing classes provide wide scope for children's imagination. Each time is a joy, a game and an opportunity to believe in one’s own strength. The fear of drawing with a brush and pencil gradually goes away, because by drawing with wax, printing with a foam sponge and leaves, poking with cotton swabs and splashing with a toothbrush, the child discovers his creative abilities. The bright and unusual result is pleasant for little artists; they want to continue drawing and improve their skills in working with various materials and tools.
