Family tree
Often children at school are given the task of drawing a family tree. And in the final part of the article, recommendations for its implementation will be given:
- First of all, you need to use a simple pencil to mark the roots of the tree and the trunk.
- Depending on the number of tribes of the family, it is necessary to designate the branches.
- For aesthetic design, you can conventionally depict photo frames on the branches. For example, in the form of flowers or fruits.
- Fill the frames with photographs or children's drawings.
Pencil
And we continue our drawing with you at the preschool educational institution. “My family” is a favorite and popular topic that should interest a child. If kids don’t really like brushes and paints, then offer them pencils.
Perhaps it is precisely this kind of technique that allows classes to be conducted in all groups. While the youngest pupils may not yet “make friends” with brushes and paints, everyone is familiar with colored pencils. So it is better that each child has a set with this “equipment” on the table.
Plasticine
Perhaps the most interesting approach to conducting our lesson today will be the use of plasticine and cardboard. With the help of these “devices”, oddly enough, you can also draw.
How? Let your child draw a drawing of his family using a pencil on cardboard. But he will color it with plasticine heated in his hands. This kind of drawing in preschool educational institutions (“My family” is the chosen topic) is often used in junior and middle groups. An interesting technique, but not all educators approve of it. And in vain.
The point is that this particular version of drawing can attract even the restless person. After all, a drawing painted with plasticine is so much fun! The child’s interest should be the main component of the lesson. Let the children choose how they want to draw. If there are any difficulties, help the students. But remember - they must create themselves. And color your drawings too.
Mom and dad holding a baby
Now you will see that a family drawn in pencil is something that even a beginning artist can do.
- First you need to draw the outline of the parents. For example, you can make dad taller, so the outline of his head should also be taller. Do not forget about the distance between the bodies to accommodate the child.
- Using ovals and straight lines, it is necessary to make the contours more pronounced.
- Drawing large and small elements will allow the drawing to become more alive.
- Next you need to remove auxiliary lines that are no longer needed.

Creating a drawing (step by step)
- First of all, let the child, under your guidance, draw his father. A baby is depicted on the shoulders of the head of the family.
- Circles are ideal for sketches of faces; bodies are represented as rectangular figures. To recreate the arms and legs, start by drawing a straight line;
- Pay attention to drawing dad's face. Add expressiveness to the outline, draw hair and ears. Using the same analogy, we get the head of a child;
- The boy's figure should include: neck, shoulders, arms and torso. Clothing can be for summer or for other seasons;
- Draw clothes for the members of the picture. All first drawings are carefully erased with an eraser. What is clothing without jewelry?
- Draw buttons, rivets, watches and other elements;
- Faces will look better if they include eyes, nose, eyebrows and mouth.
- Let the child remember the individual characteristics of relatives.
- These could be: dimples, beard or moles;
- Draw the figures of mother and daughter next to father and son;
- They must also be dressed and must have decorations: bags, backpacks, flowers;
- The contours that were previously used should be removed.
- When you are satisfied with the black and white result, proceed to coloring the product with paints.
Before this instruction, children and their parents were interested in the question of how to beautifully draw a family portrait. Now the answer is clear, you need to pay attention to the diagrams and proposed actions.
Thus, the family archive will be enriched with new works. It became extremely clear how to simply draw and put meaning into the canvas.
The main thing is that the picture has meaning and is not painted to please parents. A child is able to develop perseverance and imagination during the creative process.
Step-by-step instructions for children and beginners
First of all, you need to make a plan and figure out which family members will be in the picture. Then mark the location of each object.
Advice: do not place everyone in one line, because... it doesn't look very aesthetically pleasing.
Next, the process of drawing real and cartoon families will be described.
Stage two – mother and daughter
After successfully drawing the father and son, you should move on to the next part of the family. It consists of a mother and daughter running side by side.
- First you need to make markings for the correct location of the parts.
- After this, you should move on to the designation of parts. First - the oval of the face and the contour of the hair.
- Next you need to draw a face with all the details. Just as in the case of the son, the daughter’s face is more rounded and her features are soft.
- Drawing details of clothing. Don't forget about your mother's shape - bust. Now you need to draw dresses and shoes for both heroines.
- After removing the auxiliary lines, the coloring stage begins.
