Multi-colored plasticine looks great in children's works. Mastering the modeling, the guys get acquainted with sculpture, graphics and other types of fine art.
You can do both the creation of volumetric work, and flat-volumetric things. The latter are applications.
Hearing from the lips of an adult the phrase: “Today we are sculpting a car from plasticine”, children, especially boys, will surely be delighted.
What is the frame for?
Step 0. The basis. It is better to immediately prepare a base under the frame before sculpting. To make a background for the application, we need:
- frame;
- color cardboard;
- pencil;
- scissors.
The glass from the photo frame needs to be removed, since the application will be voluminous, it should not press down the clay on top.
The back wall of the photo frame, having bent the mounts, should be removed and outlined along the contour with a pencil on color cardboard, and then cut this rectangle.
You don’t just need to say that “we are making a machine out of plasticine”, we should treat future work as a work of art. Children will feel this and will be more responsible.
Plasticine machine. We sculpt step by step
Step 1. Sketch. On the cardboard base outline the outline of the future machine. If your ward is still too small, it is better to help him do this, while explaining the basics of the composition of the “Machine” application.
We sculpt from plasticine of different colors, and apply a sketch on colored cardboard with white chalk. If the base color is white, you can use a simple pencil.
Step 2. Flagella. We roll out flagella from plasticine. We will need different colors:
- the main one is for all large parts of the machine (in this case it is white, but it all depends on the preferences of the author);
- blue or white - for window panes;
- gray and black - for wheels;
- yellow - for the headlamp.
Step 3. Wheels and windows. Roll up the "snail" first gray flagellum. This will be the wheel drive. Then we attach black to it and add a few more turns. We get the tire.
We place both finished wheels on cardboard, pressing them down slightly so that they do not slip over the background during further work.
We do the same with window blanks, having rolled them from white or blue flagella. The windows are not round in shape, so in the process of working on the workpiece, you need to tell the young author how to give them a different shape, squeezing slightly around the edges. The result is a schematic machine with wheels and windows already finished.
Step 4. The bottom of the car. Now lay out the bottom of the car. A thin plasticine flagellum is bent with a "ladder" and is located from the nose to the middle.
Having reached the bottom in the center, we go around the front wheel and along the whole nose we return to the center.
We perform a similar operation with the back of the car. With a “snake” we fill the empty space, we go around the rear wheel, cut the flagellum with a stack.
Here is a product with a finished bottom.
Step 5. Top the car. We begin to lay out the top, circling the back window with a flagellum, then the snake should go into the roof. This line must be drawn to the nose.
Important note: the remaining empty spaces around the glasses can be filled with individual pieces of flagella of the main color.
We circle the remaining window and completely form the front of the machine.
Step 6. Headlight. We twist the yellow blank with a little ring and place the resulting headlight on the nose of the car.
Step 7. Joining. Press the entire product slightly against the background so that the plasticine does not fall off. Do not press hard so as not to crush the volumetric parts.
Step 8. Insert into the frame. Since the task was not just “sculpting a machine from plasticine”, but “getting involved in art”, the final stage is necessary. We insert the cardboard with the application stuck on it. Press and fasten the back side.
The work is ready!
Both science and gift
Under the phrase: "We sculpt a machine from plasticine with children" it is understood that parents:
- develop fine motor skills of the child;
- teaches him patience and perseverance;
- give the first skills to build a composition.
The finished application can be presented, for example, to dad on February 23 or to grandfather, uncle, brother for his birthday.
