Notes for children of the second younger group (3-4 years old) in the educational field “Cognitive Development” on the topic: “Migratory and wintering birds”

Specifics of drawing birds in the senior group of preschool educational institutions

Children 5–6 years old are able to create beautiful, expressive drawings and convey the shape of objects and their components well. Children's horizons broaden significantly: new knowledge is acquired in the process of observing the world around them and reading fiction. The guys can already depict objects that they have never seen (as for birds, this is, for example, a penguin).

The color spectrum with which children work is expanding. The drawing is based on beautiful color combinations.

If in elementary and middle preschool age children depicted birds in the form of checkmarks, then in the older group the teacher’s task is to teach them to draw them correctly. The teacher must form in children an idea of ​​the external appearance of birds, an understanding that they all have a similar structure, although they differ in color, size and shape of body parts. The children learn that all birds have an elongated body and the same head position. When moving, the position of the head and tail changes, and the wings open.

Drawing birds should ideally be preceded by modeling on a similar topic.

In order for preschoolers to realistically depict birds, preliminary work must be carried out before such classes: observing birds on walks, looking at numerous illustrations.

There are some difficulties in drawing birds. Children must learn the basics of depicting them. The drawing begins with an outline - an elongated body in the shape of a large drop (pointed towards the end) and an oval head. After this, wings, a tail, paws and an eye near the beak are added. The accuracy and quality of the entire drawing depends on the correct contour.

The teacher explains to preschoolers how the bird's body parts are located during flight and when moving on the ground (the tail is straightened or folded). In addition, you can draw birds pecking at food or sitting on a tree branch.

Of course, it is better to start depicting birds in the older group with those individuals that children can observe in everyday life: this is a sparrow, titmouse, bullfinch, pigeon, etc. We must teach the children to notice the difference between birds themselves, compare them, highlight key features, then drawing will be easier. For example, an owl is round and fat. The stork is thin-legged with a long graceful beak. The swan has a long neck, is very beautiful, with large, sweeping wings. The penguin seems to be dressed in a tailcoat, clumsy, with short wings, and has a funny crest on its head. The rooster has a powerful chest, strong legs, a beard, a beautiful comb, and most importantly, a multi-colored tail. The bullfinch is distinguished by its red breast.

When preschoolers learn to draw realistic images well, the teacher can invite them to depict a bird in a fairy tale interpretation - “Firebird”, “Bird of Happiness”, “Magic Bird”. Note that this topic is creative, and the teacher offers children several diverse samples for familiarization. In addition, children choose their own colors.

Materials used and base

Birds in the older group are depicted on a sheet of paper of the usual size. When painting with gouache or watercolors, the base is tinted in advance by the teacher. If children have to draw birds soaring in the sky, then it should be a blue background.

For collective work, the teacher offers the children a sheet of whatman paper, where, depending on the nature of the composition, they first draw a tree with many branches, a large feeder, or a village poultry yard.

Preschoolers of this age draw birds with both paints and colored pencils. It is better to paint white birds, for example, a swan, a stork or a goose, with gouache so that they are more visible against a colored background. The same applies to black and white - penguin and swallow. A titmouse, a bullfinch, an owl, a chicken, a sparrow, and a dove can be drawn with colored pencils or even wax crayons. In some cases, felt-tip pens are also suitable, for example, when depicting a bright cockerel.

Drawing with felt-tip pens

To preliminary draw the outline, use a simple pencil.

Techniques and techniques that should be used when drawing in the senior group

When drawing in the older group, the teacher should practice with the children the techniques of correctly painting a silhouette with a brush. Small parts of the body - beak, eyes, paws, tail - are carefully painted on with the tip of the brush. In this case, the instrument should be held in your hand almost vertically. The larger oblong body of the bird and its wings are painted over with all the pile, while the brush is tilted towards the paper. When the paint dries, you can additionally use the tip of the brush to indicate the direction of the feathers - the image will become more realistic.

Hatching with a pencil should be done in one direction, in addition, there should be no white spots inside the outline.

Depending on the size of the part to be painted, preschoolers should adjust the range of their hand movements.

Additional types of visual activities used, the relevance of an individual approach

The image will become more original, and the productive activity itself will be more exciting for children, if you diversify the composition with applicative or plasticine elements. For example, a bird can peck at a worm or caterpillar molded from plasticine (in the form of a flagellum or sequentially stuck balls). Small black eyes of birds can be sculpted from plasticine. If a bird soars in the sky, you can depict the sun using plasticineography. A bullfinch can sit on a rowan branch with sculpted red berries.

Applique details will be especially appropriate when drawing fairy-tale birds. This can be colored foil, shiny sequins or candy wrappers. You can decorate an elegant cockerel in a similar way.

- consolidate the methods of making a sketch with a simple pencil and then painting over it with watercolors;

Educational:

- develop the ability to analyze drawings;

-develop memory, thinking, fine motor skills of the hands, and the ability to enjoy the results of one’s work.

Educational:

— caring attitude towards birds and nature;

- to form in children the desire to complete the work they start.

Methods and techniques:

-Visual: looking at illustrations (paying attention to the characteristics of birds - size, color, leg length, beak shape).

-Verbal: conversation, explanation;

Preliminary work:

looking at illustrations of birds, viewing slides “Migratory Birds”.

Material and equipment:

pictures of birds; drawing paper, pencil, eraser, watercolor, brushes, water jar, palette.

Progress of educational activities:

Educator:

- Let's see what birds are sitting on our tree? Name them. (crow, magpie, woodpecker, tit, black grouse)

- Oh, guys, I can’t understand something, are all the birds gathered on the tree? Help me to understand. (Children find out that all birds winter and there are no migratory ones.)

- What happened? Where have the migratory birds gone? (children's answer)

- Guys, let's think, why are birds called migratory? That's right, migratory birds are birds that come to us in the spring, and in the fall they fly to warmer climes. Why do these birds fly away from us in the fall?

-All these birds eat insects. And in the fall the insects disappear. Birds are deprived of their main food and are forced to fly to warmer climes. There are many insects there all year round. Let's list the migratory birds (swallow, crane, stork, cuckoo, swan, starling, wagtail, duck, lark, heron)

- Please look at all of these and name their similarities and differences. (similarities are the body, head, tail, etc.; differences are the color of the plumage). You and I have already drawn a bird with a pencil. Today we will also draw with paints.

Physical exercise “A flock of birds is flying south”

A flock of birds flies south, the sky is blue all around. (Children wave their arms like wings) In order to fly faster, you need to flap your wings. (Children wave their hands more intensely) The sun is shining in a clear sky, An astronaut is flying in a rocket. (Stretching - arms up) And below the forest, fields - The earth is spread out. (Low bend forward, arms spread to the side)

The birds began to descend

Everyone sits down in the clearing.

They have a long way to go, the birds need to rest. (Children sit in a deep squat and sit for a few seconds) And again it’s time to hit the road. We have a lot of flying to do. (Children stand up and flap their “wings”)

Here comes the south. Hooray! Hooray! It's time for us to land. (Children sit at tables)

- Now look at these pictures. Let's name what parts a bird consists of? (head, body, tail, wings) What shape is the head? (round) What shape is the body? (oval) What shape is the tail? (can have a triangular shape, or can be forked, like a swallow) The wings have a curved shape if the bird is flying, and oval when folded. The beak is triangular.

— You know how to draw geometric shapes. Therefore, you can easily depict the components of birds. You just need to connect them correctly.

Practical part:

-First, let's draw an oval body. Then we will draw the head. Oval wings, slightly pointed at the ends - these are the longest feathers. Rectangular tail, triangular beak, round eyes. And then, let's draw the paws, draw the feathers.

— We take simple pencils and make sketches. (children draw). Then we will paint our bird with paints and create a background.

Result:

- Well done boys. You all did your best and we got wonderful birds.

— What migratory birds do we know?

-Well done guys, you did a very good job today. With each lesson your work gets better and better! Well done!

After class, the work is displayed in a corner along with the original pictures, so that other children can look and compare.

Specific options for compositions (including collective ones) within the theme

Drawing for senior group students is offered in winter (December). Traditionally, this is the composition “Birds Blue and Red” (based on the poem by the Japanese poet Kitahira Hakushu “Bird, Red Bird”). The children learn to recreate a poetic image in a drawing, choosing the appropriate color palette and beautifully arranging the birds on the base.

A little later (for example, in February), the children can be offered the composition “Birds at the Feeder” (pigeons, tits, crows, sparrows). Moreover, it can be organized as a team effort. Please note that this work must be preceded by modeling.

In winter, it would also be appropriate to draw a bullfinch or a penguin.

After sculpting the rooster (in the spring), the teacher invites the children to draw this beautiful bird. The same applies to the turkey, which is designed as a decorative composition in the form of a Dymkovo toy: children draw this bird with its tail spread like a fan and paint it with characteristic patterns. At the same time, the emphasis is placed not only on object drawing, but on developing a sense of rhythm, color and composition in the design of the pattern.

Drawing birds is good to coincide with April 1, when Fr. On this day, children can depict any bird of their choice or those that preschoolers have not yet drawn (for example, an owl, a swan, a stork, etc.).

At the end of the school year, the children can be offered a creative topic - drawing a fairy-tale bird.

Note that the plots of the drawings can be associated with outdoor games on a bird theme: for example, “Day and Night” (owl), “Dog and Sparrows.” “Birds in the Nests” “Sparrows and the Cat.” These will be plot compositions.

In addition, preschoolers really love drawing based on fairy tales. In this regard, we can offer them the following topics:

• Based on the plots of Russian folk tales: “Hen Ryaba”, “Finist - a clear falcon”, “Winged, shaggy and oily”, “Cockerel and bean seed”, “Brave cockerel” (“Zayushkina’s hut”.
• “The Swan Princess” (based on the work of A.S. Pushkin “The Tale of Tsar Saltan”).
• “Rooster and Paints” (based on the work of Vladimir Suteev)
• “Cuckoo” (illustration for a Nenets folk tale, it could be a bird with a woman’s face and hair)

Older preschoolers enjoy doing work collectively. The teacher can offer them the following topics: “Poultry farm” (poultry), “Poultry canteen”, “Duck with ducklings”, “Hen with chickens”.

Drawing domestic and migratory birds: lesson notes

Wild birds. Storytelling and step-by-step drawing

Thanks to one of the previous articles, your children learned new things and learned to portray domestic birds. Today the focus will be on wild birds. Storytelling and step-by-step drawing are again performed according to simple and understandable patterns.
Introduce your child to birds that live in the city and in the forest. How to talk about birds?

I offer a version of the story based on the title. During the process, it is advisable to mention signs that help you recognize the bird. As a sample, I provide a text that, with a few changes, can easily be used to describe another bird.

Tit

You might think that the tit got its name from its blue color. But there is little of it in her plumage. Only the cap on the head is bluish-black. The chest is yellow, the tail is black, the back is greenish. Why is it called that?

In spring and summer, tits hide in the foliage of trees. They are difficult to see. But you can hear the song: “Si-si-si.” It was the song that gave the bird its name.

Tits live here all year round, although many people think that they appear only in winter. In summer there is a lot of food in the forest, and small birds live away from human habitation. In winter, tits fly to cities and villages - closer to people. Then they feed on seeds, grains, bread crumbs, pieces of meat and lard.

Tits are our friends; they bring great benefits in the garden and forest by destroying pests.

Let's draw our smart titmouse. In this case, the result was a blue tit. If you choose different colors for painting and remove the stripe near the eyes, you will get a different look.

What do birds eat?

The appetites of birds vary greatly. In a day, a tit or wren eats as much as their own weight. Thanks to such gluttons, nature regulates the number of insects. A blue tit can eat 1-2 thousand small bugs and larvae per day. During the period when the chicks appear, the parent birds destroy even more insects to feed the offspring. Kinglets, for example, fly up to the nest up to 400 times a day, usually the number of chicks is from 8 to 12. When the babies already begin to fly out of the nest, the whole family can catch up to 4 thousand caterpillars in a day.

In addition to insects, birds can eat plant seeds. Siskins, greenfinches and finches prefer weed seeds: horse sorrel, wormwood, quinoa. In addition to caterpillars, blackbirds also eat berries. But this food is not completely digested, and the seeds fall to the ground - new berry bushes sprout. Crossbills and tap dancers do not eat very carefully; the seeds of coniferous plants scatter around, and many then germinate. We can say that birds protect forests, gardens and vegetable gardens from insects, destroy weeds and participate in planting trees.

Helper for adults

A picture-cheat sheet that will help you out when you tell your child about birds. It is easy to communicate important points about each representative of birds and expand the stock of verbs and adjectives. If you offer a small competition to compare birds (search for similarities and differences), your child’s thinking will develop. The game is based on the phrases of an adult. For example, you say: “I will tell you about the swallow, and you?” - “I like the sparrow, I’ll tell you about him!” - “My bird has black and white feathers, what about yours? My bird flies to warm countries in winter, it is migratory, but what about yours? A swallow has 2 wings, a body, a small head, legs and a tail that looks like a fork, but what does your bird look like? My swallow eats insects, it catches them in the air on the fly, but what does your bird eat? My swallow is written about in the fairy tale “Thumbelina,” but in which book was your bird written? Let’s find this book and read it together.”

Practical exercise

Go for a walk in a public garden or park, bringing bird food with you. These can be cereals, seeds, nuts, crackers, bread, cookies (even dried or candied fruits). Place the treat in a pouch or bag where your child can easily remove the contents. Look at the birds, help your child remember the name or learn a new one. Describe the flyer’s appearance and his habits. At home you can arrange a little improvisation. Ask your child to show how a dove walks, a sparrow jumps, sing, imitate a voice (caw, tweet, squeak). Looking for birds in a picture that a child saw on a walk and naming them is also a very useful task.

Forest birds

As winter approaches, it's time to remember about migratory birds. The handsome red-breasted bullfinch is drawn almost the same as a tit.

Another bright representative of the bird kingdom is the owl. Now a very popular image among children and teenagers. You can draw with one oval, but this option is more detailed. Several techniques for drawing this night huntress were learned by the author as a child. When coloring the eyes, you can make several circles of different diameters and colors.

There is an old pine tree at the edge of the forest. A large head is visible from the hollow - a sleepy owl widens its round eyes: the bird's trilling voices woke it up too early. The bullfinches have flown in and are calling to the tits, scattering rowan trees are falling down. The result is a picture of a winter forest.

The heron and stork are easily recognized by their thin slender legs and long beak. Both birds are drawn according to a common template. If you slightly change the shape of the beak and the color of the plumage, you will get a flamingo. Let me remind you once again that this is a symbolic drawing. School-age children can be given more accurate images.

City birds

The usual winged inhabitants of streets, squares and parks are pigeons. They are fed and chased by children, and launched into the clouds by newlyweds. Using step-by-step pictures, your child will learn to draw this bird.

A small, nimble sparrow can be much more agile than the important, slow pigeons. It’s especially funny to watch how a gang of impudent winged robbers leaves their larger brothers in bewilderment, stealing a huge piece of pink salmon or other delicacy. Remember a few steps from the series of drawing a tit, add elements, color it - the sparrow is ready!

This is a variant of the image of birds in the city. Let your child come up with his own story or draw what he saw on a walk. There is a bird in the picture, the drawing of which is not discussed in the article. Can you and your child guess what techniques and forms are used to depict her? The ability to “break” an object into parts and visually identify simple geometric shapes is an excellent training in perception, attention and thinking. In addition, thanks to this skill, the child will learn to “decipher” complex images and draw them independently.

Stories with pictures instead of words about birds

Two short stories for beginning readers. After reading, ask your child to retell the story using the pictures.

Try to periodically repeat the names of birds to your child, watch them together, sculpt, make appliqués and other creative works. For example, using a simple template, you can make an adorable card with birds.

Birds are cut out according to a template from colored or white paper, cuts are made on the wings and folds are made along the dotted lines. Apply glue along the contour of the image, except for the wings. After painting or decorating with colored fragments, bend the wings of a large bird so that it hugs the chick. The volumetric applique is ready.

On the eve of winter, make a bird feeder, place it so that the child can replenish food supplies himself and can calmly watch the birds eat. From an early age, instill in your child a caring attitude towards the surrounding nature, and set a worthy example yourself. Thanks to the materials in the article, your child will learn about what wild birds look like, where they live, and how they are useful. Storytelling and step-by-step drawing will allow you to consolidate the acquired knowledge in practice.

PS Has your child seen birds of prey?

Does the baby know about the benefits and harms that birds bring?

Examples of finished works by senior group students on the topic with comments

The cockerel is one of the favorite birds that preschoolers love to draw. After all, he has such a bright coloring, an elegant comb, a beautiful beard (works “Cockerel”, “Brave Cockerel”, “Dymkovo Rooster”). The chicken in the picture “Ryaba Hen” looks charming.

As practice shows, children also like to portray an owl, since this forest bird of prey has an unusual appearance (compositions “Owl-owl”, Owl - round head”, “Owl with an owlet”).

Swans look beautiful in children's drawings (“Beautiful Swan”, “Swan Princess”). It is worth noting the wonderful collective work “Swans on the Lake”.

Drawing a fairy-tale bird is an opportunity to show your creative imagination and experiment in choosing colors (drawings “Firebird”, “Magic Bird”).

Birds are one of the topics that encourage unconventional drawing. For example, swans, geese, and doves are often painted with palms (the work “Pigeons”, “Swans”, “Sparrows”, “The Swan Princess”, the collective composition “Birds”). The ruffled feathers of a chicken and a duckling are best conveyed using the poking method (“Chicken and Duckling”). And a shaggy owlet can be depicted using crumpled paper (“Owlet”).

In the older group, it is appropriate to use step-by-step drawing. Based on the diagram, children almost never make mistakes. They are developing an algorithm for depicting a bird, and soon the children will be able to draw birds on their own.
