Preparing for a drawing lesson “Clothes, shoes and hats” with children 4–5 years old
The topic “Footwear and clothing” in the middle group is carried out in two areas of work in fine arts:
- subject drawing,
- decorative drawing.
To make the lesson fun and productive for five-year-olds, it is necessary to prepare materials and plan children’s activities in accordance with their age and personal characteristics.
Even seemingly ordinary objects can interest children; they like to depict something familiar
Materials and basis for drawing
For classes you will need:
- Paints: It is preferable to use gouache, since the paint is easy to pick up on a brush and lies smoothly on the paper.
- Watercolors are more difficult for children 4–5 years old to type, the images may blur, so more control over the actions of the pupils is required.
- 1/2 album sheet,
Paints and colored pencils are the main materials for drawing clothes and shoes in the middle group
Giving children 4-5 years old markers is a bad idea. The pencil develops the skill of drawing with different pressure to obtain the desired color intensity. Felt-tip pens always draw a bright line on paper. In addition, children often stain their skin, clothes, and work area; stains from felt-tip pens are not easy to wash off.
Techniques and drawing techniques
Painting techniques:
- drawing straight and wavy lines (the brush is applied with all its bristles);
- image and coloring of shapes (circle, oval, triangle, rhombus);
- individual strokes and dots.
When painting with paints, it is easier to get a bright image, but you need to be careful: do not drip, do not mix the borders
Pencil drawing techniques:
- drawing lines and shapes;
- filling in contours using shading.
Five-year-olds are trained to observe the inclination of hatching in one direction
This is interesting. The topic “Clothes and shoes” is suitable for classes in non-traditional drawing techniques. Children paint symmetrical objects - a dress, trousers, a skirt, a hat, a shirt - using monotype, imprinting paint. Unusual patterns are created with cotton swabs, stamps, and wax crayons.
During the lesson in the middle group, a drawing sample is first reviewed and discussed. Children name which elements are present in the drawing (lines, shapes) and show techniques for depicting them:
- “draw” circles and lines in the air with a dry brush;
- chalk on a blackboard (marker on a special board).
Patterns on paper mittens can be drawn with cotton swabs
Video: how to draw a skirt
Preschoolers cannot draw a skirt, as shown in the video. A useful step-by-step instruction with a clear example of how to paint with watercolors: pick up paint, get the desired shade and paint inside the contours.
Video: how to draw mittens
Students in the middle group can be given paper blanks for drawing. The video tutorial includes options for patterns for decorating mittens: polka dots, snowflakes, hearts, stripes.
Combination with applique and modeling
Children are happy to complement painted clothes and shoes with a variety of materials:
- cut out parts from colored paper/wallpaper/candy wrappers,
- foil glitter,
- buttons,
- pieces of plasticine,
- scraps of fabric.
The applique can be part of the pattern. For example, a button is glued to the center of the drawn circle. Or the design is supplemented with new elements: the mittens are connected with a fabric ribbon or lace, the shirt is decorated with a bow, the hat is decorated with a pom-pom. And also the painted blank itself can be part of the applique.
A tie with a painted pattern is complemented by an appliqué “Daddy’s Shirt”
Individualization of tasks
Five-year-olds are beginning to show taste for creative tasks. Simple tasks are used in practical work on decorating clothes and shoes:
- selection of blanks of different shapes: shirts with long and short sleeves, skirts/dresses/hats of different styles;
- independent choice of paint color;
- select a pattern from the proposed options.
The teacher's job is to identify creatively gifted children. To develop their abilities, more complex tasks are prepared:
- sketch the dress yourself, without a template;
- from the considered patterns, draw a composition in the center of the workpiece;
- draw a pair of shoes/mittens.
Children's work is not standard, each sweater is unique and beautiful
Topic “Clothes and shoes” in the drawing card file
Classes on substantive and decorative drawing of wardrobe items are held during the academic year:
- as we study the topic “Types of clothing and shoes” in cognitive and speech classes: “Decorating a sweater”,
- “Elegant dress for a doll”;
- “Winter clothes: mittens, scarf and hat”,
- "Tie for Dad"
- "Boots for the cat"
- “Apron for the Dymkovo young lady”,
Drawing classes “Clothes” serve to consolidate the general knowledge of preschoolers on this topic
