With their help, you can also draw, and in the process of creativity, develop children, remember colors, introduce children to nature, develop small motor skills, enrich the vocabulary of the child and many other useful functions, this simple subject of hygiene. But first things first.

Unconventional drawing

In order to evoke interest in drawing in children, it is necessary to turn this process into a game or a fairy tale. At first, the child draws with pleasure fingers, then with pencils and brushes. Time passes, and interest in drawing is lost.

To support children's desire to create, you can offer them unconventional drawing techniques. In such cases, you can draw, than you want and how you want.

But adults always guide the child into some sort of channel, so they can offer him or her some kind of drawing. For example, klyaksografiya, the basis of which is a sheet of paper, folded in half and a few drops of paint. Or drawing a candle, when an invisible pattern is first applied to the paper, and then the child covers the sheet with paint. In this case the contours of the pattern remain colorless. Or drawing with cotton buds.

Pointillism

Drawing with cotton buds can be called one of the kinds of pointillism.

Pointillism is a unique trend in painting, which in French means "writing by points". Paintings of such a plan were written by many artists. For example, the masterpieces recognized the paintings of Georges Seur. He is considered the founder of this technique.

Drawing with cotton buds is a very unusual technique, interesting not only for younger schoolchildren, but also for kids who are just getting acquainted with various tools for painting.

Pointillism for the child

Children are usually happy to welcome the technique of drawing with cotton buds, because you can create the same picture in completely different ways.

1. At work it is possible to take as a basis a template and fill in all details of the drawing with points of a certain color.
2. It is possible not to fill the whole drawing, but to make multi-colored dots only the contour of the parts.
3. The points are fascinating to supplement the ready-made drawings and templates. This option is especially convenient for very young artists: when my mother offers to draw eyes to some animal or people, and also interestingly wadding with chopsticks to create snow or rain.
4. Children of school age can be offered the creation of more complex works, for example, to reproduce a mosaic picture.

Drawing with cotton buds for beginners

Children aged 1 to 3 years can draw with chopsticks much easier than brushing. In order to interest the baby, you must first show him how to draw a beautiful line or put a point, then another, and then another color.

For the first lesson, the following inventory will be required:

• Paint for drawing, for example, finger or ordinary gouache, if there is no fear that the child will draw the paint in his mouth;
• paper;
• Templates with black and white drawings or thematic pictures, on which you need to draw something;
• A large number of cotton buds;
• palette.

The plastic palette is useful in order not to give the child at disposal a whole jar of paint. Very often children have a desire to use such an abundance of material for other purposes. On the palette it is convenient to dilute the water colors of several colors and next to each put your wand. After everything is ready, you can start drawing with cotton buds pictures on some interesting topic.

It is better to think in advance about the topic of the upcoming lesson, pick up suitable rhymes or riddles. Do not neglect finger games in the middle of drawing, because kids from 1 to 3 are often distracted. And they need a constant change of activities.

Pointillism for preschoolers

In the work with preschoolers it is worth paying attention and telling the story about the very technique of pointillism. It is necessary to give the minimum information that the drawing is created with the help of separate smears or dots of different colors.

It is advisable to prepare several paintings, created in the technique of pointillism, to show them to the child in order to evoke a deeper interest.

It is important that when creating a picture, paint should not be mixed with each other. In this case, the distance from one point to another can be large, or you can, on the contrary, have points close to each other.

If desired, in the future, it is not necessary to use paints for painting paintings in the technique of pointillism, you can replace the cotton buds with markers, pens or markers.

Age Nuances

In every drawing technique, there are various secrets and nuances. Pointillism is no exception. There are some points that you should orient yourself in order to get the most satisfactory result.

1. For babies in the first classes it is better to offer only one color of the paint. Pictures should be selected as simple as possible: sun, apple or snow, rain.
2. Older children are given tasks more difficult. The number of colors increases. This will allow young artists to show their imagination.
3. And older students can try themselves in the role of artists, creating whole pictures in the technique of pointillism.
