Lunokhod: children's drawing for 1st grade children
Before you start drawing, consider the models of the lunar rover to understand the general principle of depicting this device. For first grade children, you can draw a lunar rover using the following steps.
First of all, we draw the cabin of the lunar rover.
On each side we depict 4 wheels.
Draw an antenna above the cabin.
To make the drawing funny and childish, you can supplement it with original elements.
You can color it with pencils or crayons.
A drawing of this kind can be transformed by adding surrounding objects, placing it in outer space, or sending it straight to the moon.
Drawing on the theme of space for school: how to draw for schoolchildren for Cosmonautics Day
Space drawings can be decorated with bright colors in blue and purple tones; use blue, lilac and black paints with white splashes. This way you can show outer space more believably.
You can use watercolors to draw a picture using the sketching technique.
A drawing on the theme of space most often contains an image of a rocket, planets (all or several), you can show an astronaut in a special suit, stars, the moon.
Many people like to look at the sky, watch the stars and the moon. Using watercolors you can more realistically depict the infinity of space.
Materials:
- Watercolor paints
- Watercolor paper
- Brushes
- Palette
- Jar of water
- White paint
- Toothbrush
- Rag
Such a fantasy drawing will be achieved in just a few steps.
As in any drawing, you need to outline the horizon line and decide in which part of the sheet what details will be. Cover the part where space will be depicted with water.
We cover the sheet with the first layer of paint with the main colors until the paint has dried.
The main principle of painting with watercolors is to dilute the paint with water and apply it to a wet base. This way it will spread smoothly and there will be no precise boundaries.
Let's draw a black forest along the bottom of the sheet.
You can depict stars using white splashes.
Using this technique you can make many different drawings on a space theme.
How to make a painting in the grattage style: examples
Looking at the work of professionals, I can’t believe that this can be done with your own hands. But even an inexperienced artist is capable of creating an amazing picture - you just need to approach the matter responsibly and show imagination.
View from space
A black background often makes children think of space. To depict the mysterious night sky, the base can be painted over with any colors: from orange to purple. It is best to use oil pastels to then shade the edges of the spots - this will make the transitions between tones smoother. The youngest artists will love the idea of depicting a city at night under the shining stars, whose life is observed by a friendly alien traveling in his “flying saucer”.
Magic tree
Spiral elements look very impressive in the grattage technique. In the composition “Magic Tree” the branches occupy almost the entire space with their large curls. The base is covered with clear transverse stripes of color, smoothly merging into each other: the cool tones from below gradually become warmer as they move to the top. The transitions are clearly visible due to the fact that the tree trunk is quite wide, as are the branches. The difficulty level of this work is average.
Peacock
Small spots of color, randomly located, and thin lines of the design give the effect of a more delicate, subtle play of colors. To depict a peacock, the artist should be patient, this increases the complexity of the painting. Pre-designed head, body and main tail feathers of the bird will help you avoid losing symmetry. When these main lines are ready, you can begin to methodically detail the design: scratching thin lines-beards and scale-like plumage on the neck and chest of the peacock.
There are an infinite number of ideas for creating grattage canvases of varying complexity. To work with a group of children, adults often prepare primed sheets themselves. But for a closer acquaintance with the technique, it is better to divide the lesson into two parts. During the first lesson, young artists will prime the base the way they want, and in the second lesson they will scratch their drawings.
Drawing on the theme of space in kindergarten6 we draw in the middle and junior groups
In kindergarten, the theme of space and the drawings associated with it are aimed at preparing the child to understand the world. They can learn how people are sent into space, how a rocket is drawn, and how an astronaut must fly in a spacesuit.
In kindergarten, children often draw with pencils. You can help them with geometric shapes by drawing them with a compass or using a round object.
Children's drawing Rocket: how to draw step by step
Since the main subject in space is a spacecraft such as a rocket, it is quite advisable to teach your child how to draw it to prepare a drawing on the theme of space.
Drawing of a rocket in space
Materials:
- Album sheet
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Pencils/markers
On a sheet of album placed horizontally, let's start drawing a rocket. Let us depict the body as oblong, with a sharp edge at the top and a straight line at the bottom.
Draw two straight lines parallel to the horizon - depict the nose of the rocket and its nozzle.
In the center of the body we will draw two circles - a porthole.
Draw the legs of the rocket on both sides
If a rocket is flying, then you need to draw a flame under it
The rockets can be colored with pencils, markers or paints.
Space rocket: drawing for children on April 12
In order to draw a rocket body, you need to draw an oval. It should not be very thin, but also very potbellied. Draw the legs of the rocket using squares at an angle of about 45 degrees. Below it draws triangles, in front there is a rectangle right in the center.
These rocket legs are called rudders. Make it smoother in shape by erasing the extra lines. Draw a round porthole in the center of the body. Using straight lines, draw the nose of the rocket and the nozzle. All that remains is to color the rocket.
Rocket flying to the stars: simple drawing
It’s not difficult to depict a rocket taking off. To do this, you need to start drawing it at an angle to the horizon.
First show the guide line. The second step is to show the rocket body - a rectangle that meets at the top.
Below we will depict the rocket nozzle and the fire that the rocket will emit in flight. Draw 4 lines along the body. Show the rocket's rudders - two on the sides and one in the center of the body at the bottom. Don't forget about the porthole window.
Master class 1: drawing space with children with balloons
Today in this article you will learn a very interesting and unusual technique for painting with gouache balls. Yes Yes! Instead of a brush, the children and I will paint with balloons! This technique allows you to get a very unusual background of space on a sheet of paper and is accessible even to the smallest children.
Age of children : from junior preschool and older.
Materials and tools
To work you need:
- landscape paper, or preferably watercolor,
- gouache,
- a lid with sides from a cardboard box or a disposable rectangular plastic plate,
- colored paper,
- glue stick.
- glass balls.
Where can I get glass balls for drawing? Glass marbles can be bought in children's stores, art stores and florists (they are usually called “marbles”, “marbles mix” and other similar names). Such balls are used for children's games and in floristry to decorate transparent vases, decor, and compositions. You can also use beads and plastic balls from children's sets. In the old days, glass balls were used from dispensers on a bottle of vodka (if you have several copies of one at home and it is possible to get balls from it).
Step 1
- Pick up a lid from the box (I took rectangular plastic plates).
— Cut a sheet of paper to the size of the plate.
Step 2
— Insert the paper into the plate.
— Drop a blot of pink paint, diluted like sour cream, onto the paper
— Put a few glass balls.
Step 3
— Tilt the plate up and down, left and right so that the balls roll through the paint spot and spread the paint all over the sheet. At the same time, make sure that the tilts of the plate are not sharp, but smooth. The child needs to slowly change the tilt of the plate so that the balls do not fly out of the plate. This develops sensorimotor coordination.
Step 4
— Add a blot of blue paint to the sheet.
- Continue rolling the balls, getting blue lines.
Step 5
Add a black blot and continue rolling the balls until your space sky is ready.
Step 6. Draw a rocket.
In the previous steps we drew the background of space with the child. And now, against this background, we will make a rocket. It can be drawn (if you are drawing space with children of senior preschool age) or done using the appliqué technique (if you are drawing space with children of primary preschool age).
How you can make a rocket or spaceship using the appliqué technique against a background of space:
- Remove the paper from the plate
— Cut out a rocket from colored paper, stick it on a blank with the cosmic sky
— Cut out the wings of the rocket, the fiery tail, and stick it next to the rocket.
— Cut out circles, stick windows on the rocket
The space picture is ready!
This is what the children came up with - their work is shown in the photo below.
Nastya (4 years old) depicted a spaceship approaching the planet against the background of space.
The drawing by Lesha (6 years old) shows a rocket against a background of space.
And this is a drawing of little Felix (3.5 years old). He himself drew the background of space with balls and, with the help of an adult, cut out the finished parts of the rocket and pasted them onto the background.
Creative task:
— Think about what round objects can be used instead of balls to draw space?
— Create your own cosmic sky pattern.
— Use your imagination and compose your own plot composition “Space Space”
Author of the master class: Vera Parfentyeva, technology teacher, head of the children's art circle, reader of the Rodnaya Pathinka website and participant in our Internet Workshop of educational games “Through play - to success!” In the article, Vera shared photographs of her little students’ drawings.
Drawing for Cosmonautics Day in pencil
As the days of April approach, we remember such a holiday as Cosmonautics Day. You can draw the cosmic universe with pencils in just a few steps, and even schoolchildren can do it.
Draw a circle on a white sheet of paper with a compass. Use a yellow pencil to shade the center of the circle, and then make orange strokes. Then again we make a layer of yellow and then continue with pink a little higher, then lilac.
On the other hand, you can take blue and purple.
Use a black pencil to make strokes in the places where you want. You can use cherry blossom. In the center of the circle, switch to lighter colors. Make smooth transitions, gradually moving from dark to light shades.
A white helium pen will be useful for us to show stars, constellations or the milky way.
Drawings on the theme of space in pencil can be taken from the following options.
Exhibition of drawings for Cosmonautics Day: the most beautiful examples
If you had to urgently prepare a drawing on the theme of space for a school competition, then there are different options for images. Show your child how to combine paints of different colors, make smooth transitions, and what available objects can be used to depict planets and a rocket.
Materials:
- Watercolor paper
- Pencil
- Eraser
- Watercolor paints
- Jar of water
- Toothbrush
- Brushes
Take several lids from jars of different diameters. Arrange them in random order on a piece of paper. Leave room for the rocket.
In order to depict a rocket, you can use a bottle of corrector.
Draw all the details of the rocket - legs, nose of the rocket, porthole.
Dilute the watercolor with water and use a brush with lilac paint to paint the background from the corner. Then you can apply emerald color paint. If there is enough water, these two colors will merge.
We paint the background with lilac, violet, pink and green shades, you can add blue and cyan. We paint the planets with completely different colors - which were not present when painting the background.
You can add green to the orange to mix them up. Another planet can be painted green and blue. Using a thin brush, paint the rocket.
Trace the outline of the rocket with a felt-tip pen. When you have drawn all the small details, we will proceed to the final stage. Place on the rocket and planets the details with which they were drawn.
Dilute white paint with water on a palette and apply paint to your toothbrush. Spray it using a brush.
Such a drawing can take its rightful place at an exhibition.
A drawing competition for Cosmonautics Day is held every year in schools, and in every class there is a child who is passionate about space, rockets and astronauts. Most often these are boys, but some girls also like to depict space objects. For girls, they can turn out sweeter and more tender, with details drawn. Boys pay more attention to spacecraft models.
Drawings on space themes often provide an opportunity to show your imagination - learn to depict the Milky Way, spirals of the Galaxy, space mountains, clouds.
Ideas for prints
Forms
When you (or your children) get tired of scratching simple landscapes and fireworks on rectangles, try cutting out shapes and decorating them using the scratchboard technique.
Photo paper
Print the photo onto paper, wax it, and cover it with engraving paint. This way you can make amazing greeting cards and make your parents, grandparents or friends happy with such a gift.
Color
Experiment with color: in addition to black, gold and silver shades look good.
