Kindergarten teachers are very fond of drawing lessons. And one of the interesting activities is where children learn to distinguish fruits from vegetables and berries. Sometimes even an adult cannot do this. For example, did you know that a banana is a berry? And the children should know. The topic, of course, is difficult, but this is why it is interesting. Today we will tell you how to conduct a lesson on drawing fruits in the middle group of kindergarten.
Draw watercolors
To interest children, you need to present them with drawing, not as an activity, but as an exciting game. Then the child will be creative in the process. Drawing fruit in the
middle group of kindergarten begins with an introductory lecture. The teacher asks the children what their favorite sweets of plant origin are. The guys actively participate in the discussion. You can hear options: apples, pears, bananas, strawberries. The teacher shows the pictures and explains what is called fruit and what is not. After the theoretical part should be practical. Children are given a watercolor, and the teacher tells how to draw, for example, an apple. You need to explain with an example. The teacher draws fruit, and the children copy it. First you need to draw an outline with a pencil. The teacher controls this stage of work. And then the contour should be painted over. The teacher’s task is to prevent the children from crawling beyond the drawn borders.
Draw gouache
All creativity is somewhat similar to paints. So drawing fruit in the middle group with gouache is not very different from creativity with watercolor. But you need to change the technique, if only so that the children see the difference in the consistency of colors. Gouache drawings are much brighter and more positive. In order not to repeat the techniques, the teacher can offer his students to draw a fruit, such as a pear, without a preliminary pencil sketch. So the child will develop an eye and will not be afraid to create. Indeed, often parents discourage the desire to paint by the fact that they want to get the perfect result. The child enjoys the process itself.
Draw by hand
It seems to many that drawing without a brush is the lot of two-year-olds. Adult children need to create with a brush. But this is not so. The child remains a child, and pampering gives him pleasure. Therefore, the teacher may well put in the program the task
in the middle group "draw fruits with the fingers and palms." It should be understood that many children with a fantasy are a little taut, and before waking her up, you need to show an example of how you can create. Therefore, having rolled up her sleeves, the teacher should first dip her hand in the paint and draw, for example, an orange. Children should repeat this action. And then you can give a task to the imagination. For example, draw your favorite fruits and berries. Sometimes one can only be surprised at how endless children's imagination can be.
We draw in the technique of scratching
But you should not give your child watercolor and gouache in every lesson. You can use other, no less interesting techniques. One of them is scratching. The technique will surely appeal to the pupils of the middle group. Drawing vegetables and fruits will be more fun if they have to "get" out of the ground. For this lesson, the educator will need to prepare sheets for creativity. By the way, children can also help in this stage. Preparation Technology:
- Color pencils or crayons paint over the entire surface of the sheet.
- Grease the paper with a greasy layer of wax or paraffin.
- We paint the whole sheet with black gouache and let it dry. So that the paint does not remain in the hands of the pupils, it is necessary to dilute it with PVA glue before applying it to the paper.
When the preparation is finished, you need to start drawing. You can draw with a pen or a blunt pencil. The item should be sharp enough to scrape off the paint, but not sharp enough to scratch the baby. We draw fruits, vegetables or whole still lifes on a sheet. Subjects will depend only on the imagination of the educator and the patience of her wards.
Draw with a pencil
The most hassle-free option is to conduct a lesson without paints. And children do not have to wash, and tables too. You can draw with colored pencils. This is a rather trivial task, but it is simply necessary for the development of children's motor skills. When a child paints, he does not have to make an effort to leave a brush. But drawing with a pencil, you need to use not only the muscles of the hand, but also patience. Drawing fruits and berries in the middle group of kindergarten is a fun activity. The main task of the educator is, without reproaching the child, to convey to him that it is impossible to get out of the contours of the drawing. And if he really wants, then he must first draw the fruit with a pencil and only then give it clear boundaries.
Draw with cellophane
One of the interesting techniques for displaying fruit is painting with a package. Children are curious to see how ordinary material can be used for an unusual purpose. So, let's get down to creativity. We take the package and start drawing our favorite fruits. The middle group of kindergarten may not understand why instead of plain paper they were given cellophane. Here, the educator must say that not all creative work is done on paper. Artists paint on canvas, fiberboard, etc. When the fruits are ready, we dampen blank sheets of paper in water and cover them with cellophane masterpieces. The print can be detailed. For example, an apple draw a twig and leaf.
Plasticine painting
Children already understood that you can create not only with paints. So it's time to conduct a lesson on drawing fruit in the middle group using plasticine. It is necessary to explain to the children that plasticine is used not only by sculptors, but also by artists. It is most convenient to use a white disposable plate as a canvas. With a pencil, the tutor or the children themselves draw the outline of the fruit. And then it remains the case for small. Small pieces of plasticine need to fill the circuit. It is necessary to try to imitate a smear. From the first time in children this is unlikely to succeed, but do not despair. After 2 such classes, children masterfully will be able to smear clay on a plate.
Mixed techniques
We have already mastered drawing fruits on a plate in the middle group, and now we can experiment. From time to time it is worth conducting classes in free form. Children need to be given a little freedom so that they can show their true creativity. At one of the lessons, the teacher can offer the kids to draw in any technique that they like. It can be a watercolor, gouache or a creation with a package. Or you can go further and offer the child to combine two techniques in one drawing. For example, draw a pear in watercolor, and draw a marker around its outline. Let the children take the initiative, because they rarely succeed.
