Notes on drawing in the senior group “My Favorite Fairy Tale”

Preparing for a drawing lesson on the topic “My favorite fairy tale”

Children of the sixth year of life show diligence and fantasize in art classes. Drawing on the theme “My Favorite Fairy Tale” involves depicting animal characters. The guys will study the proportions and poses of the human body later. The purpose of the lesson is to convey the image and character of a fairy-tale hero in a drawing.

Children convey their impressions of the fairy tale they heard in drawings.

Educational tasks are aimed at developing children’s artistic skills:

• Improving drawing techniques: with a brush: drawing lines, strokes, shapes, shading with the tip of the brush and drawing details, filling the background,
• pencil: drawing a sketch, shading with different pressure.

In the older group, children are given the right to choose materials: paints or pencils

Paints and base for painting

• Watercolor - for painting the background.
• Gouache - for drawing a composition.
• Felt pens - for tracing the contours of the drawing.
• Brushes of different thicknesses.
• Colored pencils, simple - for preliminary sketching.
• A4 sheet - thick white paper.

Children love felt-tip pens for their brightness. For my daughter’s 5th birthday, she was given a large suitcase—what colors and shades of felt-tip pens were in it. The child drew only with them at home. In the summer I took my suitcase with me to the dacha. And in September I was upset in class. Not because there are no markers in the kindergarten, but my hand has lost the habit of drawing with a pencil.

Drawing with felt-tip pens is acceptable in kindergarten, but the main focus is on drawing techniques with paints and pencils

Drawing techniques

• Drawing with a simple pencil:
• Drawing with colored pencils: drawing a sketch with a simple pencil,

For the lesson “Simple and Golden Testicles,” classical drawing techniques can be combined with non-traditional techniques.

• Painting over the sketch with wax pencils or pastels.
• The use of monotype in background painting: imprinting colors adds a fantastic atmosphere to the drawing.
• Drawing with unusual tools: cotton swabs, plastic fork, sponge, semolina.

A classic painting with paints can be supplemented with dots, for example, using a cotton swab

Combination with other types of visual activities

Incorporating elements of modeling and applique into the work helps to attract children's attention to productive creativity. Pupils of the senior group independently plan how to complement the drawing. For example, lay out the feathers of the firebird with an applique of colored or foil paper. An interesting idea is to lay out a pattern on the clothes of the characters or partially the background with plasticine parts.

Children independently choose materials for appliqué from the reserves of waste and natural materials in the creative corner:

• cereals and seeds,
• napkins, cotton balls and disks,
• beads, rhinestones,
• pieces of colored paper, wallpaper, magazines.

You can detail the drawing of a fairy-tale hero using a cut-out applique

Task differentiation

The need for multi-level tasks arises when the teacher has identified children with high abilities among the students. Talent requires implementation. A gifted student will complete an ordinary task faster than others and will become bored.

Examples of complicated tasks in the lesson “My Favorite Fairy Tale”:

• Work out the background in detail,
• draw background objects,
• draw elements of folk ornament on the hero’s costume,
• draw a scene (“Kolobok on the fox’s nose,” for example).

Individual tasks for drawing fairy tales are aimed at maintaining and developing talent

Place of the lesson “My Favorite Fairy Tale” in the drawing card index

The theme “My Favorite Fairy Tale” has wide scope for children's creativity. In kindergarten, it is not advisable to give children free topics for drawing. The program for visual arts by T. S. Komarova includes classes “Fairytale Houses”, “Fairytale Bird”, “Fairytale Plot” (based on the fairy tale about the fox and the hare). If the topic does not specify the object of drawing, the teacher carries out preliminary work.

At NOD classes, children study folk and original fairy tales, act out scenes based on them in the theater corner, and play with figurines or character masks.

Thus, the lesson “My Favorite Fairy Tale” will become the final work: children will choose which of their familiar characters to portray.

Without first studying/rehearsing fairy tales with children, the task “Draw your favorite fairy tale” can confuse the children. Alternatively, they will start drawing their favorite characters, but from films and cartoons.

In the theater corner, children act out the plots of fairy tales and get to know the characters better

A creative activity based on fairy tales can be part of a project activity.

1. The short-term project involves conducting classes in educational arts and fine arts, role-playing games and dramatizations of fairy tales.
2. The long-term project is being implemented through an in-depth study of the topic (“Russian folk tales about animals”, “Tales of A. S. Pushkin”, “Tales of C. Perrault”). A trip to a children's theater or a fairy tale museum is organized. Parents are actively involved: they help sew costumes for the production of the fairy tale, make scenery, and design the poster.

The final event of a project on fairy tales can be an exhibition of drawings

In the older group, children should be encouraged to engage in collective activities. Children can create plot compositions from several characters and with a rich background.

The first lesson on fairy tales is devoted to individual drawing of fairy-tale characters. In the second lesson, the guys study composition.

Children are encouraged to independently think through the sequence of work and distribute tasks among themselves. The teacher directs the idea in the right direction and prompts.

Pupils of the senior group actively interact with each other and create together

A collective drawing composition is created in several stages:

• tinting the paper base,
• drawing background objects,
• consolidation of individual drawings into a plot whole.

Traditionally, a sheet of Whatman paper is used as a basis. We ask parents to bring leftover wallpaper to kindergarten. Children draw on the back of the roll, the paper does not get wet, and straightens out more easily than what paper.

The plot composition on the theme “Fairy Tales” can be supplemented with elements of appliqué and plasticineography

Techniques and techniques that will be used in a drawing lesson in the senior group

The fairy tale captivates the child with a mysterious plot, immerses him in the world of thoughts and feelings of the heroes, their fates are remembered for a long time, every time the children seem to overcome obstacles anew, experience adventures together with their favorite fairy-tale characters. Almost all topics related to the illustration of fairy tales cannot be done without depicting a human or animal figure, which is part of the plot composition of the drawing. Depicting a living character is not easy for children, since older preschoolers are given more complex tasks, which involve moving away from simplified schematism and reinforce in children the desire to convey their thoughts, observations, and life experiences in the drawing.

Drawing tasks on fairy tale themes:

• continue to introduce students to Russian folk and literary fairy tales;
• teach children to embody their ideas in drawings, convey images of heroes and impressions of a fairy tale they heard;
• develop the ability to draw human and animal figures according to a diagram, learn to convey simple movements (turning and tilting the head, raised and bent arms, step) without violating the proportions;
• develop the skills of independently selecting material for an image, as well as an episode from a fairy tale plot, constructing a composition across an entire sheet of paper, correctly placing characters and objects in space;
• learn to create a pencil sketch that precedes the stage of coloring with pencils or paints;
• teach to convey the characteristic features of characters, their mood;
• improve the ability to draw with pencils, felt-tip pens, watercolors and gouache paints, mix colors to obtain the desired shade.

  Children learn to embody an artistic concept in a drawing and convey their impressions of a winter fairy tale.

Types of drawing:

• Subject - a single image of a fairy-tale character or object, for example, Thumbelina, Kolobok, Winnie the Pooh, a hut on chicken legs, a magic castle, etc.
• Plot composition is a visual form of a story about any events or actions, built on the interaction of several characters and objects (“Masha and the Bear”, “Fox and the Hare”, “Geese-Swans”, etc.).

Classic techniques:

• Drawing with a simple pencil.
• Drawing with colored pencils.
• Drawing with wax crayons.
• Drawing with felt-tip pens.
• Drawing with charcoal and sanguine.
• Combined method (colored pencils and watercolors, felt-tip pens or wax crayons).
• Painting with a brush using gouache - the distinctive property of this material is its opacity, which allows you to overlap layers with a new color.
• Painting with a brush using watercolors. Children need to be taught the skills of regulating paint set, selecting colors, and softly conveying shades by mixing primary colors.

Non-traditional techniques:

• Finger drawing - older preschoolers independently decide on the choice of theme for drawing, using finger techniques in combination with traditional techniques.
• Palm painting - based on children's handprints. Six-year-old children apply paint to their palm with a brush on their own, then complete the contours of the figure and draw in the details.
• Drawing on wet paper is a blurry, hazy image that is applied to a pre-moistened sheet of paper.
• Drawing using rock salt, semolina, colored sand. With the help of colored sand, interesting crafts are created by filling the silhouette, previously smeared with glue.
• Bleeding drawing - an image is drawn with wax crayons or a wax candle on white paper, then painted over with a top layer of watercolor in one or more color shades.
• Drawing with crumpled paper - drawing an image using a paper ball crumpled from a piece of paper.
• Pointillism (dot painting) - drawing with dots, dotted strokes using fingers, cotton swabs, cotton swabs, pencils with an eraser at the end or a brush.
• Stamping is an image of objects or natural phenomena by applying an imprint on paper using a stamp and stencil (foam rubber swab, wooden stamps, from vegetables, fruits, waste material, etc.).
• Vertical poke with gouache using a hard semi-dry brush without using water to obtain a visual texture effect (fluffiness, volume, relief).
• Scratching is scratching the outlines of a design onto a surface primed with wax or paint.

Summary of the lesson “My favorite fairy tale” in the senior group

Drawing classes in the senior group are held in half a day once a week. According to SanPiN standards, its duration should not exceed 25 minutes. The main stages of activity are interspersed with physical education minutes, games of low and medium mobility, breathing or psycho-gymnastics. These are health-saving technologies that help maintain a positive emotional background in the children's team, as well as prevent mental and physical stress.

During a drawing class, children must warm up

The drawing lesson is structured according to the following scheme:

• Organizational moment - 1 minute.
• Information and familiarization stage - 4–5 minutes.
• Practical work: explanation of the task, examination and discussion of the sample - 2–3 minutes,
• independent work of children - 14–16 minutes.

Showing and discussing works is a mandatory stage of a drawing lesson.

Preschool activities should motivate children to explore, develop skills, and express talent. Yes, children love to draw, but their favorite activity can become boring if it is not captivating. Therefore, it is recommended to focus the informational and educational stage of the lesson “My Favorite Fairy Tale” on motivation to create drawings.

Sad but true. Sometimes classes with preschoolers are like a scene from the Soviet film “Stepmother”: “Here are the colors for you, here is the album for you. Either stand or fall!” Remember, the pedagogical task is not only to explain and teach, but also to maintain a stable interest in creativity.

You can get children interested in the topic of the lesson, for example, by watching a presentation

Table: examples of a motivating start to a lesson

There are many options for motivating forms. Choose what is interesting to a specific children's audience. Among children there are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. Combine a variety of feed types. Some will be interested in colorful pictures, others will listen carefully to the musical fairy tale. And someone, like my daughter, will want to touch toys based on fairy tales and play a scene with them.

The appearance of a fairy-tale character in class awakens children's interest and gives them a positive attitude.

Video: cartoon based on the fairy tale “Kolobok”

Watching a cartoon can serve as a motivating start to a lesson in drawing a fairy tale. Advice: look for short modern cartoons, 2-3 minutes long, a brief retelling - that's what you need.

Organization and conduct of classes

The rich theme of “My Favorite Fairy Tale” is revealed in the process of versatile pedagogical work aimed at cognitive, speech, social-communicative, artistic and aesthetic development. Drawing classes can be conducted both in a narrowly focused format and within the framework of short-term and long-term projects on this topic (“Russian folk tales”, “Fairy tales of A. S. Pushkin”, “Tales of the peoples of the world”, “Fairy tales of H. H. Andersen” ", "Tales of Chukovsky", "Tales of V. Suteev", etc.).

Large plot compositions, which consist of several characters and objects, are usually created collectively. The preparatory stage, during which the background is tinted, individual figures are drawn, details are worked out, is carried out in small subgroups of 3-4 people, and then the children together compose a plot picture on whatman paper, gluing the silhouettes they have prepared, simultaneously developing spatial thinking abilities, gaining experience in coordinated actions. In the process of collective creativity, children rely on a condition set by the teacher or a free plan, improving the social skills of mutual understanding and camaraderie.

A Christmas Tale - working with elements of appliqué and plastinography

It is important to develop in children an understanding of the correct sequence of stages of work to create a collective plot composition or collage:

• make a background image divided by a horizon line;
• draw background objects (trees, sun, clouds, flowers, etc.);
• draw or place previously prepared and cut out silhouettes of fairy-tale characters.

  Drawing of the Firebird - each child paints his own feather, then everyone collects the fluffy tail of a fairy-tale bird together

Lesson outline

The senior group has one drawing lesson per week. The total duration of continuous activity should not exceed 20–25 minutes; methodological manuals recommend performing physical exercises (finger, breathing, motor exercises) for 5 minutes to neutralize psychological and mental stress, as well as prevent physical fatigue in children.

1. Organizational part (3–5 minutes). The practical part of the lesson can be preceded not only by reading a fairy tale or literary work, but also by viewing pictures, a slide show, a fragment of a film or cartoon. The informational and familiarization stage involves awakening children's interest in the fairy tale plot, studying the characters of the main characters and the sequence of events. It is necessary to include surprise moments, elements of theatrical play, stimulating curiosity, causing a positive emotional reaction and activity.
2. Practical part - the teacher explains the sequence of creating a composition and drawing the main characters based on the diagram (3-5 minutes). Older preschoolers are given more freedom in the drawing process; showing a picture or sample prepared by the teacher should not be used for copying, but only to form a correct understanding of the task or clarify it. The work is done from life (toy) or based on the free design of children; the basic techniques have already been mastered, so they do not require additional demonstration.
3. Independent work of children (15–20 minutes).
4. The final part is the analysis and assessment by children of their works and the drawings of their comrades. Children are taught to formulate their point of view with reason and verbally express the aesthetic perception of creative works (3-5 minutes).

The order of drawings

Children draw on the theme “My Favorite Fairy Tale” with pencils and paints. In a lesson in the senior group, it is recommended to practice the ability to make a sketch - classical drawing techniques are based on it.

Step-by-step drawing based on the fairy tale by V. G. Suteev “The Bag of Apples”

1. Drawing a pencil sketch: the head and body of a hare in the form of geometric shapes.
   Drawing a sketch develops thinking: the child sees shapes inside the object
2. Hatching inside the contours.
   Remind children that the hatch lines should be in the same direction.
3. Feathering.
   This is an optional step, but children should become familiar with this drawing technique. To make the work neat, when shading, you should not go beyond the boundaries of the image with your finger.
4. Drawing contours and small details.
   The same simple pencil is used, but you need to draw with increased pressure. The ability to determine the required degree of pressure on a pencil comes with time, training is important
5. Drawing details: ears, face.
   The bunny is a positive character in a fairy tale, that’s why he has a kind face
6. Drawing a character attribute.
   This can be a challenging task for gifted children. In the finished drawing the bunny is depicted with a bag of apples for his family

Step-by-step drawing based on the fairy tale by D. N. Mamin-Sibiryak “The Gray Neck”

1. A pencil sketch can be made for a figure in motion.
   For example, Gray Neck flapped her wings. To sketch a figure in motion, there must be a figurine in a similar position in front of the child’s eyes, or he himself tries to take this position.
2. Coloring with colored pencils.
   The direction of the hatching changes on different parts of the object. You need to paint with colored pencils very carefully: do not erase the excess beyond the outline with an eraser
3. Stroke with a simple or black pencil, addition of small details (feathers, eyes).
   Let children trace the drawing with a pencil to practice applying pressure.
4. Background objects are drawn with colored pencils.
   For example, a pond, reeds, shore. Colored pencils are an excellent material for creating fabulous illustrations

Step-by-step drawing based on the fairy tale “Kolobok”

1. Tinting paper with watercolors - one color.
   It is fashionable to tint paper with both a brush and a sponge - offer your child a choice of tools
2. The designation of earth and sky on a sheet is to draw wide stripes or print using the monotype technique on wet watercolor.
   Details are painted with a thin brush

Step-by-step drawing based on the fairy tale “Turnip”

1. Designation of the horizon line on paper.
   Background fill - sky and earth. The teacher shows, using landscape photographs as an example, that a composition is successfully built where a strip of land is narrower than the heavenly space. The guys have to think about whether Repka is the main character in the fairy tale.
2. Drawing an animal character from a fairy tale: a dog, cat or mouse.
   

   You can personalize the task: by choosing a character and the ability to draw his attribute. For example, for the bug - a booth, for the cat - a bowl of milk, for the mouse - a spikelet.

   Thus, the turnip is an obligatory object for a fairy-tale composition, but it can be placed in the background

Photo gallery: examples of finished works

Pencil drawings are not easy for children, but they look amazing Drawing based on the fairy tale “The Three Bears” develops a sense of proportion in children: bears are of different sizes Drawing an illustration for a fairy tale is a complicated task Work for an exhibition or competition: there is a background, background and details Children of the sixth year of life are fond of detailing the background. Drawing human characters or “humanized” animals can be organized using stencils

Video: “Drawing Kolobok from a fairy tale with Pavlik”

This video is a clear demonstration of how a child learns to reproduce a pattern. An adult shows geometric shapes and ideal elements. The child’s results are similar, but not nearly as smooth and neat. Remember, children need to be praised for their efforts. Their drawings will never be the same as diagrams and samples. But they will definitely be unique and inimitable.

Photo gallery: drawings in unconventional techniques

For the drawing based on the fairy tale “Kolobok”, the technique of finger painting and applique with semolina was used. The drawing “Geese-swans” was drawn with palms and fingers. “The hut on chicken legs” was drawn using the pointillism technique: with dots. Poking with a hard brush is one of the simple non-traditional techniques

72 drawings took part in the competition. Each drawing was accompanied by a story about the family and a general family photo. These are interesting, bright, amazing stories.

The editors of “Pravmir” and the curators of the “Library of Loving Parents and Happy Children” project decided to additionally award eight participants of the competition a book of fairy tales “The Happy Prince” with an autograph and wishes from the author of the collection, Archpriest Alexander Ilyashenko. There will be additional material about this on Pravmir.

"Musicians of Bremen" by the Brothers Grimm, "Good with Friends!"

“I have a big family - mom, dad, me and three younger sisters - Dasha, Ira and Glasha. Dasha and I often play and come up with different stories, but Ira and Glasha are still small. I study at a boarding school. Adults read to us a lot, and we ourselves also read books. We also love watching old fairy tales, films and cartoons on TV. I drew a picture for my favorite fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, “The Town Musicians of Bremen.” I also want to have true friends and travel around the world with them.”

Class teacher Artyoma Yubko Larisa Vladimirovna

, Luga special (correctional) general education boarding school:

“Artyom is a child with special health needs. He studies in a correctional school. More than anything else, he loves to draw, and also to sculpt and make things with his own hands. Adults help him develop his abilities.”

“The Magic Mirror” based on the fairy tale by I.V. Vachkov “The Tale of the Magic Mirror”

"Let's get acquainted! My name is Yulia, I am in the 8th grade, and I have loved drawing since early childhood. My family is small, but very friendly and creative. We love to take part in various competitions. Last year, my family took part and won the Easter Souvenir competition. Dad carved eggs out of wood, and mom and I painted them. We also love to travel with the whole family. This gives us great joy. We especially enjoyed the trip to Gorny Altai.

And a few more words about why I chose this fairy tale. This is a fairy tale about a girl who received three mirrors as a gift: in one she saw herself as she imagined herself, in the other - as other people saw her. And the third was a reflection of who you really are. The fairy tale made me think about who and what I should be in life and how others see me.”

“Grandmother Yaga”, based on the poem by A. S. Pushkin “Ruslan and Lyudmila”

Smolyaninov Grigory, 8 years old. Grandmother Yaga, based on Pushkin's poem Ruslan and Lyudmila

“A little about our friendly family. Although small, it is very strong and cheerful. There are seven of us –

dad Ilya, mom Lisa, eldest daughter Alina, youngest son Grisha. There is also the cockerel fish Petya, the cat Yoska and the shepherd dog Shaina. Everyone loves each other very much and does not offend each other.

The daughter is a second year student at the institute, and the son is in the second grade. Mom loves to draw and create. And our dad is a Master –

can do everything with his own hands! We all love to walk together, travel around our beautiful city (and not only), and find new wonderfully magical places. For the holidays we try to make fun surprises, postcards and wall newspapers.

We also like to play different board games. It is very funny. Grisha is a real designer and inventor. You can assemble absolutely anything from a Lego set! He also likes to make paper crafts. He even made his own puppet theater with a curtain, interchangeable scenery and puppets. He is a very kind and affectionate boy. Even Grandma Hedgehog turned out to be not evil at all, but kind and cozy!

Grisha is very attentive and polite –

helps both parents and sister. He studies at the Art Studio, also at the swimming school and goes to wrestling. And our daughter is wonderful! She went to dances for a very long time (from 4 years old to 16 years old). There were successes, we performed both in our city and abroad. She is a very sweet and good girl, she loves her brother very much. She knows how to be purposeful and collected, and overcome her own weaknesses. And very responsible.

And dad and I love each other and help our children, and really love spending time with them together. We picked up our old dog on the street, but the owners never responded. So our old lady stayed with us. She is very caring and humble. And he loves children very much. The cat also turned up by chance. She's funny and mischievous. And Petya the fish is very shy. We are sending a photo of our family. And we convey a huge greeting to all participants of the competition. We have no doubt that all the drawings will be wonderful!”
