History of origin
The invention of the modeling substance is attributed to 2 scientists. Franz Kolb invented the material for making models at the end of the 19th century. William Harbutt invented plastic mass
in 1987. It was later discovered that both substances have identical structure and uses. That's why they got the same name.
This is interesting! The first plates were made only in a gray shade. Only years later it gained popularity and the mass began to be painted in different colors.
Now the material is in wide demand. It is used in various industries (modeling, handicrafts, animation, child development, etc.). The use of plasticine has been going on for more than a century. Lots of crafts
and compositions are recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.

Modeling methods
To move on to a specific type of composition creation, the child must be taught in stages.
First, they study with him a separate technique for making parts (sausages, balls, etc.). Then they show what other manipulations (pinching, pulling, cutting) can be performed with the material. The knowledge gained during the exercises is consolidated and the child is offered one of three ways to work with plasticine:
1. Sculptural. The craft is made from a whole piece, without adding elements. Children learn to distribute plasticine proportionally using these techniques
:
- stretching;
- topping;
- smoothing;
- rolling out.
2. Constructive. The product is assembled from different parts. First, prepare the largest part, and then attach the small ones to it. The method teaches children to distinguish small objects from large ones.
3. Combined. Includes the two methods above. The body is made from a single piece. Other parts are made separately and attached to the finished figure.
Modeling methods are divided into types based on the plot.
Subject - the production of a separate character or object.- Subject - creating a group of objects interconnected (depicting scenes from fairy tales, poems, stories).
- Decorative is an art form for creating compositions from folk art.
To make crafts easier, there are special devices. Stacks
– these are also
tools
for modeling. With their help, small parts are made that cannot be aesthetically created with fingers.
Stacks
There are
metal
, plastic, silicone, wood. The choice of devices depends on the future product.

Air plasticine for children, learning to sculpt roses
Princess
You need to be as careful as possible and try hard to create such a beauty. We start with a beige oval. It should be sharpened on one edge to highlight the chin. Press down gently, creating hollows for the eyes. We create the face itself: eyes, nose, mouth. We make a cone for a skirt from a turquoise block.
Note!

What craft materials to use for creativity: non-traditional, foamed, soft or natural pieces made by yourself
- New Year's crafts from pine cones: what you can make from pine cones with your own hands, a guide with step-by-step master classes
The hem is made in the shape of a bell. Show off your waist by cinching your figure. From short pieces we weave a yellow braid for Elsa from plasticine. Recommendation: In fact, the pattern of sculpting a person is quite complex; in the preparatory group, children will cope together with the teacher.
We connect the neck and chest with a beige layer. Add puff sleeves to open parts of the arms. We draw stripes on the skirt and decorate it with numerous homemade rhinestones. After connecting all the details together, adjust them to achieve a natural look. The hairstyle can be complemented with a crown.
