Master Class. Modeling insects.
Author: Chepeleva Tatyana Aleksandrovna The material is intended for children of preschool and primary school age, teachers and educators.
Quite recently, on occasion, I purchased a bundle of soft, fluffy wire called “chenille”.
And they also gave me a whole package of paper-based film for laser printers (such as lamination film). So I started thinking, how to use this “wealth”? Materials: chenille, transparent paper-based film for laser printers, plasticine, toothpicks, CD marker, scissors.
Purpose: making plasticine crafts and toys. Objectives: Show the possibilities of new materials (chenille, transparent film) in modeling. Diversify the technique of working with non-traditional materials in modeling. Improve the skills of modeling, manual labor, and drawing. Clarify and enrich children's knowledge about insects; Form stable ideas about the color, shape, size of the insect proposed as a sample. Introduce children to poems, riddles, and sayings about insects. Develop eye, fine motor skills, speech, attention, thinking. Cultivate interest in the world of insects and nature. Vesna the artist (abbreviated) Vesna Krasna has begun work. She didn't get down to business right away. At first, I thought: what kind of picture should she draw? Here the forest stands in front of her - still gloomy and gloomy like winter. “Let me decorate it in my own way, in spring!” She took thin, delicate brushes. I touched the birch branches with a little greenery, and hung pink and silver earrings on the aspens and poplars. Day by day the picture of spring becomes more and more elegant. Everything comes alive all around. Sensing the warmth, insects and spiders crawl out of various cracks. May beetles buzzed near the birch branches. The first bees and butterflies fly to the flowers. And for each of them, Spring is Red, she came up with an important task. (Georgy Skrebitsky) Today we will sculpt insects. Which ones? Let's consider. No. 1 Dragonfly You see everything, dragonfly - your eyes are big! Your chirping flight is like a helicopter in the sky. During an “emergency” landing, you boldly put out your paws.
- Let's look at her body parts. How many are there, what do they look like?
1. We sculpt the same ones - head, torso, tail. 2. We connect them, for strength, using a toothpick and smearing. 3. Cut the chenille wire into equal parts, according to the number of legs. Draw wings on film. 4. Bend the wire for the legs and cut out the wings. 5. We connect all the parts. 6. Add eyes (ready). But my daughter doesn’t like them: “It doesn’t look like it!” 7. Add plasticine green balls - great eyes!
No. 2 Green beetle (unfortunately, I didn’t see the name) I’ll put the bug in my palm - let it sit there for a little while. Oh oh oh! How he tickles! He wants to get out quickly! (Svetlana Bogdan)
1. Consider a green beetle. 2. Roll 2 balls, a small one for the head, a larger one for the body. We select chenille. The green one is missing, take the blue one. 3. Flatten the ball for the body, forming a similarity. We string the head and body onto a toothpick. Bend the chenille into 6 equal parts and cut. 4. We bend the “legs” like a ladder and stick them into the body. Adding eyes. Ready!
No. 3 Spider – tarantula. There is a spider in the corner, It has woven both a house and a net. Now he’s resting, waiting for Mushka.
- We are considering. We count the number of legs, there are 8 of them. 2 more antennae.
1. Roll large, medium, small balls. 2. We put all 3 on a toothpick sequentially. 3. We cut the smallest one with a knife - we get eyes. 3. We measure, chenille into 8 equal legs and 2 small antennae, cut. 4. We stick the legs into the body. Wow, so similar! No. 4 Fly
An annoying fly. Yuri Entin
The annoying Kruzha Fly is buzzing in your ear. An annoying fly buzzes around your ear. Annoying Fly - No voice, no hearing. No voice, no hearing - Annoying Fly.
1. Daughter Yulia categorically does not want to sculpt a green fly. We agree that there are yellow ones too. We sculpt 3 balls - for the body, head, eyes. We select chenille. 2. Roll out the larger ball into a “dumbbell”, shape the ball-head like a barrel. Secure with a toothpick. Adding eyes. We cut the chenille and bend it. 3. On the film we draw wings as similar as possible. Let's cut them out. 4. We connect all the parts into a single fly.
When the modeling is finished, it is necessary to remember the story of Georgy Skrebitsky “Spring the Artist”. Ask the question: “What important thing did Vesna Krasna come up with for insects?” Let the guys think and express their assumptions.

Caterpillars made of plasticine are a simple craft for children. Funny caterpillars can become one of your baby's first sculptural masterpieces. We present two different models. Both of them are created using the simplest modeling techniques from plasticine. Even if the balls for the first or the “sausage” for the second caterpillar turn out to be uneven, the work will still be successful and will be decorative. And for kids this will serve as an excellent exercise in working with plasticine. You can make small details – eyes, antennae – yourself or use ready-made options. For example, plastic eyes for soft toys and wires - regular or chenille - for antennae. All caterpillar decorations can be made from plasticine, but this is difficult for small children. Therefore, we recommend using ready-made beads and seed beads.

Butterfly made of plasticine is an interesting craft for preschool children. The main difficulty children may have when depicting a butterfly is sculpting the wings. But if you use additional material – cardboard – to create the wings, this problem will be immediately solved. In this form, the craft immediately becomes so simple that it is suitable even for three-year-old children. This is exactly the kind of butterfly we propose to make in the first version. And for children 5-6 years old (senior and preparatory groups of kindergarten) and older, butterflies can be made more complex and interesting. All other options are suitable for this age. We provide templates for cutting out wings from cardboard, but, of course, you can easily draw the wings yourself.

Summary of a fine arts lesson on the topic “Insects. Dragonfly. Modeling"
1. Statement of the educational task.2. Conversation
Hidden on the board are pictures of dragonflies.
-Now guys, we will check your answers (the pictures open and the children are happy to make sure that they guessed the riddle correctly).
– Today in class we will talk about a dragonfly. And not only talk about it, but also sculpt it.
Dragonflies are one of the most ancient insects. The dragonfly is a predator, and very fast and agile. The dragonfly catches small insects with its serrated jaws on the fly, and large ones with its paws. To feast on large prey, it has to go down to the ground and sit on a blade of grass or a twig. Dragonfly hunting is an interesting spectacle. If any insect comes into its field of vision, the dragonfly freezes in the air for a moment and rushes towards it. Dragonflies most often prey on insects that are harmful to humans, such as flies.
The dragonfly's eyes are very large and occupy almost the entire surface of its large head. While hunting, the dragonfly simultaneously sees everything that happens in front, to the side and behind it.
Dragonfly body structure: large eyes, 4 transparent wings, movable head, antennae on the head, abdomen, tail.
All dragonflies are predators; they play a very important role and are useful for humans and animals, eating parasitic insects and carriers of infections. For example, mosquitoes and flies.
But the dragonfly does not live long - 1.5-2 months.
In cold and bad weather, dragonflies, like many insects, sit sluggish somewhere in secluded places. They don't like it when it's too hot.
The dragonfly is a very voracious insect. An adult insect feeds almost all day without a break and can eat at least 40 large flies in one hour.
3. Sample analysis.
A dragonfly is an insect. The dragonfly's body consists of three parts: head, abdomen, tail... Divide a piece of plasticine in half. We will roll out a thicker sausage from one half - this will be the belly of a dragonfly. Divide another piece of plasticine into two equal parts. From one we will make a ball - the head of a dragonfly, and from the other a thinner “sausage” - a tail. Connect all the parts together (head, abdomen, tail).
– Do you think we got a dragonfly? What is our dragonfly missing? (No wings).
-That's right, we will make wings from ash seeds. The dragonfly has two pairs of wings, two wings on each side. How many wings does a dragonfly have? (Four).
-A dragonfly has a pair of antennae on its head. How much is a pair? (Two).
— Let's make antennae from pine needles.
- All that remains is to attach the paws. The dragonfly has 3 on one side and 3 on the other. Please note that we attach the legs to the dragonfly's abdomen. We will make paws from matches.
– And now, our dragonflies will fly to the flower meadow. (Children fly like dragonflies, carry their products and attach them to flowers (pre-made in the previous lesson). The children admire their crafts. The teacher admires the children’s dragonflies.
