What kind of technique
This approach allows the child to develop comprehensively. That is, he himself chooses which material to use to bring his idea to life. For example, children often take colored cardboard from which they make appliqués, which also belong to a non-traditional drawing method if they are decorated with paintings. Sometimes children choose oil crayons or wax pencils. They are convenient to draw with, and most importantly, they do not stain your hands or clothes. Although a drawing lesson in a preparatory group is planned by teachers, it is usually completely controlled by the children themselves. They decide how and with what their drawings will be made.
Parents' task
Drawing classes in the kindergarten preparatory group help the child develop. The task of parents is to support all the endeavors of their children, tell them exactly what knowledge they will need in the future, why it is important, why it is necessary. And, of course, draw at home with him. Classes in kindergarten are not enough; you should also pay attention to home exercises.
Why preparation is important
When children come to school, they experience some stress at first, because the situation changes, the demands placed on them are different, the form of teaching material is completely different, there are new people around. But you have to get used to everything! Therefore, it is important already in the preparatory group to begin teaching children what may be useful to them in primary school. And prepare them for change. It is noteworthy that it is drawing classes that help children perceive new information more easily and quickly. Child psychologists have proven that information presented in a pleasant and kind environment is well absorbed. Drawing promotes all-round development: children not only do something with their hands, but also listen, remember, and apply the acquired knowledge in practice. It is very important that parents support children’s interest in the fine arts, give them new knowledge and topics for exercise. In no case should these be orders to be executed, but rather recommendations and advice. Children do not like and do not accept what is imposed on them, but they like it when attention is paid to their interests. Parents and educators should encourage their children's endeavors and skills in order to stimulate their further development. At the same time, errors also need to be pointed out, but in a soft and correct form.
Main topics of classes
Of course, children draw in kindergartens, and quite a lot. But about once a week there is a special lesson. Drawing in the preparatory group is based on a specific topic. The most basic of them are:
- spring;
- winter;
- summer;
- autumn;
- space;
- animals;
- nature;
- transport.
Sometimes a completely special, interesting activity takes place. Non-traditional drawing (preparatory group) involves the use not of paints, but of any other material suitable for depicting thoughts.
