An interesting development of a workshop for educators. Seminar - workshop for teachers "Psychological aspects of pedagogical interaction with participants in the educational process

Good day (or night) to all, my friends and all blog readers! Tatyana Sukhikh is with you. Having conceived a large series about fine arts in kindergarten, I would like to elaborate on an interesting topic: watercolor painting with the children of the senior and preparatory groups. It is at this age that pupils of the preschool educational institution are ready to add to the treasury of drawing skills with gouache, colored pencils, crayons the ability to depict objects and living beings using watercolors.

Why so late, you ask? The fact is that watercolor is a complex material that requires some preparation and skill. We are not talking here about the fact that you should not give watercolors to young children - to paraphrase the classic, I will say that watercolors are submissive for all ages. As a teacher, I want to talk about program learning in kindergarten.

Drawing with watercolors is not easy, they do not give such a rich color as gouache, it needs to be diluted with water, the drawing dries for a long time, the colors do not overlap, but mix. Lots of nuances. First you need to choose good paints, otherwise the child will not want to use watercolor at all.

For novice artists, the Classic palette of colors produced by Luch is perfect. Here are 24 colors that leave rich color on paper, made from safe materials with the addition of bee honey. This paint is domestic and inexpensive, but very good, I advise.

So that the little artist does not get dirty in a creative impulse, and also learns to order from an early age, watercolor drawing lessons should be carried out in full “equipment” - I would recommend buying beautiful aprons, for example, a charming Minnie Mouse set is suitable for a girl - an apron made of polyester and a hoop with ears, which is offered by my favorite "UchMag".

If you decide to teach your kid how to draw at home, but you yourself are not very good with a brush, you can learn with the help of a tutorial. On Ozone, I found a good manual - "A Tutorial on Drawing with Watercolors", authored by the famous artist Olga Shmatova. She has already published dozens of similar educational materials that have helped thousands of novice artists master the intricacies of drawing in watercolor, oil, and pencil. Watercolor drawing lessons for beginners are presented in an accessible, simple, visual way.

We educate artists - useful nuances

And in order to arouse the initial persistent interest in the fine arts, you can, as an incentive prize for trying to give the kids “live” 3D coloring pages, which I seem to have mentioned. For the little ones, coloring books based on simple Russian folk tales, for example, "Turnip", "Kolobok", "Ryaba Hen", etc., are suitable.

The kid will color the outlines of the drawing, and then you point your tablet or smartphone at the drawing and in front of the astonished audience the image “comes to life”, becomes voluminous and moving! For beginners, coloring is the thing, they will help you learn how to use pencils and paints step by step.

For older children, I advise more "adult" tales - about knights, princesses, dinosaurs, pirates. By the way, you can color with pencils, paints, felt-tip pens. Great gift
for kids of all ages!

What are the tasks facing the educator during the period of teaching preschoolers to paint with watercolors?

Having approached the stage of acquaintance of preschoolers with watercolors, the teacher or parent must understand what he wants to achieve from children in the end.

In my experience, you should not neglect the little things and subtleties of using a brush and paints.

So what you need to know and do:

How to dilute watercolor paints with water;
How to use a palette to mix colors;
How to achieve a darker or lighter shade with water or black paint;
How to gently moisten the brush with water, shaking off a drop on the paint;
How to thoroughly rinse the brush, dry it on a napkin or cloth, checking the cleanliness of the brush.

Remember that you should immediately, at the first stages of introducing children to paints, teach them how to work with them correctly. They will acquire skills and useful habits that will help them draw neatly and beautifully, without dirtying everything around them and themselves too.

The technique of painting with watercolor is very diverse. The children of my group and I draw with our fingers, put palm prints, make prints of natural materials (leaves), try to draw with wet technique.

To get acquainted with watercolor, pick up good paints, not in a palette, but in tubes. It is convenient for us to use palettes in the kindergarten, but at home it is better to take a professional watercolor. It gives a more saturated color, it is easier to draw with it, it does not take much effort to soak it.

It is not necessary to buy a special palette for paints, you can use landscape paper. It will absorb excess water and will allow you to immediately understand whether the desired shade has turned out.

If you don’t need to try the color for drawing with gouache, it will in any case turn out exactly the same as in the jar, then the watercolor must first be applied to the palette.

Make sure that the children draw with a brush not against the pile, but along the pile, otherwise the brush will deteriorate, and an even and clean line will not work. Children often move the brush back and forth, like a pencil. This does not work with paints: a smear is done in one direction once.

Watercolor drawing lessons for beginners provide an introduction to brushes of various shapes and numbers. We use medium-sized round brushes in the kindergarten - number 10-14. The preparatory group can use thinner (2-6 number) and thicker (12-16).

To paint the background and large planes, you can use wide flat brushes called flutes.

So, it’s clear with organizational issues, right? Let's move on to practice.

Practice Notes

You need to master watercolor in stages, step by step, from simple to complex. In kindergarten, we start with decorative drawing. We paint jugs, napkins, towels, plates, of course, all this is cut out of white paper and painted with watercolors.

Decorative patterns are repeatable elements, mastering which, as they say, children fill their hands for more complex patterns. This is the most effective way to hone technique. Having learned to depict different patterns, children become bolder, more confident in their abilities.

If you are teaching a toddler at home, look online for video tutorials on how to draw watercolor step by step. Believe me, it's very interesting and easy! Here, as a teacher, I have a whole arsenal of methods and ways of teaching preschoolers, and parents have nothing if they do not have a special preschool education. Therefore, we are looking for videos, literature, step-by-step instructions.

Let's get back to patterns. Mastering this type of creativity, kids learn to use different ways to use a brush: we apply the brush to the paper flat, with all the pile (drawing flowers in watercolor, for example); drawing with the whole brush - wide lines; tip drawing - thin lines, dots, curls.

After the patterns, you can begin to depict objects and living beings. Children will already have a good grasp of watercolor painting techniques and will be able to move on to complex subjects.

Well, did my advice help you? If so, share them with your friends on social networks, and also subscribe to the following articles!

Sincerely, Tatyana Sukhikh! Till tomorrow!

Program tasks:

To acquaint children with watercolors, their features: paints are diluted with water; color is tested on the palette; you can get a brighter tone of any color by diluting the paint with water, etc.

To teach how to work with watercolors (wetting paints before drawing, shaking off a drop of water collected on a brush for each paint; dilute the paint with water to get different shades of the same color; rinse the brush thoroughly, dry it on a rag, napkin and check the cleanliness of washing the brush.

Equipment:

Watercolors, sheets of A4 white paper, brushes, non-spill, palette, brushes, napkins for each child, soap bubbles, sample.

/ Introduction:

1. game moment:

Invite the children to play with soap bubbles, watching how the surface of the bubbles shimmers, how they circle, flying around the room.

Consider a box of watercolors. Find colors that can convey the colors of the bubbles.

Watercolor paints are transparent, light, airy paints, i.e. such through which you can always see what they painted over. The word watercolor itself means “painting with water”.

Therefore, watercolor paints are best painted on white paper.

Before you start painting, the paints need to be moistened with water so that they are better drawn onto the brush. It is impossible to paint with a different color in the place where the paint has not yet dried out. And then the colors mix.

You have a palette - it's a plastic board. where paints are mixed. The palette will help make the paint light and transparent. Type water on the brush, it should become heavy and voluminous, shake off the drops on the paint, without touching the bristle of the brush. Put a large drop on the palette. Then, with a brush filled with water, pick up the paint and combine it with water on the palette - the paint will brighten, become more transparent.

Draw a circle on paper. - you combine paint with water on the palette, get light shades of different colors and draw a lot of circles, i.e. from red it will turn out pale - red, i.e. pink; from blue - blue; from yellow - lemon color.

The longer the water is added to the paint, the lighter the tone will be.

These light tones of colors are called shades or halftones.

Invite the children to draw several circles of different colors.

Previously, artists themselves did all the work of creating watercolors: from grinding pigments to distributing finished paints into jars and other suitable utensils. Today, various commercial companies, following unique recipes, create the very best paints for us in terms of quality and processing. So, when purchasing these paints, what do you need to know in order to go on an exciting watercolor journey?

Compound

Watercolor is mainly composed of pigments, a water-soluble binder, and other additives. Pigments can be obtained from organic materials (plants and insects), inorganic materials (minerals and rocks), and they can be artificial or synthetic, while water-soluble binders, such as processed gum arabic, are obtained from resin. Other additives, such as preservatives and honey, are found in some watercolors and affect their shelf life or how they are applied.

Forms

Currently, watercolor comes in two main forms:

Cuvettes

Watercolor is available in small and standard cuvettes. The paints are either poured directly into cuvettes or dried, cut to size and placed in cuvettes in a package. You can buy watercolor cuvettes as a set or individually. They are convenient because they are ready for immediate use; simply wipe them off with a wet brush and allow the cuvette to dry after use.

tubes

You can also find watercolors in tubes. In this form, the paints are stored in a thick form for a long time. The combination of colors in tubes is usually the same as in cuvettes. Tube sizes vary and are also available both in sets and individually. They are usually more profitable, as you will get more colors for a reasonable price. Paints can be squeezed out to fill empty cuvettes or palettes.

Characteristics of watercolor paints

Transparency and opacity

Watercolor paints are classified as follows:

P: Transparent
U/P: Translucent
U: Opaque

Transparency in watercolor provides lightness and light that passes through all subsequent layers of paint and creates deep and rich colors in the picture. Opacity in watercolor, on the other hand, "blocks" the light, thus preventing layers of color from being transparent.

Transparency test

Choose the right shade and apply on a thick black line, as if you are creating your own palette. After the resulting sample is completely dry, the result will be obvious. Some colors clearly overlap the black line - these are opaque colors, and those that do not show through on the black stripe are more transparent.

As well as transparency, which is very necessary in watercolor, opacity can also be a key element in a drawing. Opaque colors, especially light shades, can be used to complete the canvas to outline the highlights that you have saved for last.

Staining properties

Absolutely dry watercolor, unlike other paints, can be reused with water. However, this aspect differs in the degree of staining. Some shades are deep and rich in color, making them difficult to remove once applied. On the other hand, some colors are not as bright, which makes it easy to remove or erase them from the paper. It's a good idea to do a stain test to see which colors are hard to rub off and which are more malleable.

Color quality test

Check the tones by trying to remove colors from the paper with a brush. If you can clearly see the white sheet of paper, then your colors are non-staining, but if a small amount of faded ink is present, then the colors have a strong staining property.

Granulation property

Watercolor pigments react differently to water. Some of them, apart from water-soluble binders, become granular, grainy or textured when dry, while some have a very smooth finish. Shades of different brands differ in their granulation properties, so it is better to apply the paint to samples in order to know its individual characteristics.

Light fastness

Light fastness refers to the constancy of color. According to the ASTM (American International Organization for the Development and Publishing of Standards for Materials, Products, Systems and Services) guidelines for measuring paint quality, there are the following categories:

I. Super lightfast
II. Lightfast
III. Medium lightfast
IV-V. Poor light fastness or unstable

Permanence depends on the intensity of the pigments, especially when exposed to direct sunlight or UV rays. Over the years, various brands have been able to develop synthetic pigments that mimic and replace fickle natural colors such as alizarin crimson and krapp madder, so today artists can create artwork that will stand the test of time. The ASTM light fastness rating is usually found on paint labels.

It's always good to learn something new about the nature of watercolor. The knowledge gained helps to fully reveal the possibilities of these paints. Watercolor continues to evolve, so we hope you (whether you're an amateur, beginner, or professional artist) continue to explore, experiment, and create with watercolor!

Lesson progress

Introduction to the topic.

The office is decorated with paintings made in watercolor technique. Landscapes, still lifes, portraits, etc.

Question; tell the children when you entered the office what did you rather pay attention to?

Answer; to an exhibition of paintings.

Question; Great. And who can tell me in what genre these works are made?

Answer; portrait, still life, landscape, icon painting.

Question; right, but who will tell me in what technique these works were made?

Answer; Watercolors.

Yes, that's right, in watercolor.

Slide #1 The theme of our lesson: "Watercolor"

Our lesson will consist of two parts:

The first part is theoretical

The second part is practical.

Slide #2 And the purpose of the first part of our lesson: Acquaintance with the work of Russian watercolor artists and the three most popular watercolor techniques.

Question; what famous watercolor painters do you know?

Answers; P.P. Chistyakov, I.N. Kramskoy, I.I. Shishkin, A.K. Sarvsov, V.M. Vasnetsov, etc.

Slide #3 Excellent. Look at the slide and tell me if you recognize this picture?

Slide #4 Stored in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow "Morning in a Pine Forest" - a painting by Russian artists Ivan Shishkin and Konstantin Savitsky. Savitsky painted bears, but the collector Pavel Tretyakov, when he acquired the painting, erased his signature, so now only Shishkin is indicated as the author of the painting.

Slide #5 Still life with a Rose" painted in watercolor. The sonorous colors of watercolor paint are so fresh and juicy that you want to reach out and take, for example, a plum from the table.

Slide number 6 Look at the slide and tell me if you recognize this picture?

Answer: “The Swan Princess” painting by Vasnetsov Mikhail Alexandrovich. The painting is called "The Swan Princess" by Mikhail Vrubel. Stored in the State Tretyakov Gallery. The picture was painted on the basis of the stage image of the heroine of the opera "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" by N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov based on the plot of the fairy tale of the same name by A. S. Pushkin. Vrubel created sketches for the scenery and costumes for the premiere of the opera in 1900, and his wife sang the part of the Swan Princess.

Slide number 7 Portrait of an artist

Slide #8 Mikhail Vrubel "Seated Demon" 1890. Stored in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. The plot of the picture is inspired by Lermontov's poem "The Demon". The demon is an image of the strength of the human spirit, internal struggle, doubts. Tragically clasping his hands, the Demon sits with sad, huge eyes directed into the distance, surrounded by unprecedented flowers.

Slide #9 The famous "Rose in a glass" made in the technique of multi-layered painting called LISSIROVKA.

Slide #10 The painting depicts a small swimming pool in Zubrilovka, the bowl of which in those days was arranged in such a way that it was illuminated by the sun from morning to evening. On the shore of the reservoir - sister Elena Musatova (in a pink dress) who came with the artist to the estate, and the bride, Elena Aleksandrova-Skovoroda (in blue). The whole landscape is the sky and trees reflected on the surface of the water. And this quiet expanse, and dreamy, motionless, women not talking to each other - everything seems to be fascinated by the vague and silent mystery of being. "Pond" became a kind of culmination of the picturesque quest of the first years of the 20th century. The painting is in the collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery.

Slide #11 Portrait of the artist.

Slide #12 Painting "Lady in blue" 1902. One of my favorite paintings made in glazed technique.

Slide #13 Borisov-Musatov was also fond of writing garden flowers.

Slide #14 So we looked through the watercolor works of artists and it's time to get acquainted with the watercolor techniques that they used.

Three watercolor techniques:

Watercolor "on raw".

Watercolor "a la prima".

Watercolor "multilayered".

Slide #15 Watercolor "on raw" The specificity of watercolor painting is the technique of writing "raw". It consists in the fact that before work, the paper is moistened with water using a sponge, then quickly written on a still wet surface. Spreading, the paint can convey soft transitions of one color into another atmosphere, reflections of clouds in the water, silhouettes drowning in fog, fluffiness of fur, etc.

Slide #16 The technique of writing with watercolors "a la prima" - "at one time", allows you to reveal all the charm and uniqueness of such paint as watercolor. This is a quick writing on wet paper, which creates unique effects of overflows, streaks, overflows of paint that live, breathe, and which cannot be achieved by any arbitrarily diligent prescription.

Slide #17 Glazing technique or simply glazing (from German Lasierung - “make shiny” or from Latin laser - “resinous substance, shine, gloss”). This is a technique of applying transparent layers of paint on top of each other or on an already prepared base color (layer). This allows you to get deeper colors and a variety of shades.

Slide #18Glaze- a classic method of painting technique, on which the color richness of many masterpieces of painting is built. Glazing is a technique of general coloration, saturated colors, deep shadows filled with colorful reflections, a technique of soft airy planes and endless distances. As much as a single-layer body covering paint brings the object to the fore and into the light, so multi-layer glazing with thin transparent paints removes the object into the air and plunges it into shadow.
These are P. P. Chistyakov, I. E. Repin, V. I. Surikov and many others. But he found his most complete and consistent embodiment in the works of M. A. Vrubel.

Slide #19 So we have smoothly moved on to the second part of our lesson - and we will dwell on the multilayer watercolor technique in more detail. (Listen carefully to the poem)

I walk in the forest in spring

I need blue ...

Under me in a dense layer

Leaves from last year.

Though the hillock has thawed,

But there's snow in the shadows

And without stepping back

A flower grows next to it.

He made his way under the snow

He was looking for his way

He was not at all afraid

It's too early to bloom!...

Questions:

Can you guess which flower I saw?

Answer: Yes.

What is it called?

This flower is called snowdrop.

Slide #20 Yes, these delicate flowers, making their way through the snow, reach for the warmth of the spring sun and delight us with the first color, announcing spring.

Since 2004, the Republic has been celebrating Snowdrop Day (Nyurguhun kune) on May 18 since 2004. Snowdrop in Yakutia is a symbol of perseverance, love of life and tenderness. Many songs and poems are dedicated to the Yakut snowdrop. On this day, class hours, conversations, competitions of drawings and essays, subbotniks, exhibitions of folk craftsmen, artists, concerts are held throughout the republic, aimed at preserving and caring for this amazing flower. Several types of snowdrops grow in Yakutia.

Slide #21 In fact, the scientific name of the first flowers growing from under the snow is not snowdrops, but lumbago, according to the folk - sleep-grass.

In the former USSR, 26 species of the genus Pulsatilla are known. In Yakutia, they mainly grow yellowing lumbago, open lumbago(blue-violet), common lumbago(with a reddish tinge) lumbago Turchaninov(purple) and backache Ayansky, Dahurian have blue-violet, often bell-shaped flowers. They grow south of Yakutsk, in the upper reaches of the Lena, in South Yakutia, the Verkhoyansk Range. Ayansky and Turchaninov's backache are listed in the Red Book of Yakutia.

A plant with hairy stems from 7-15 cm to 40-50 cm tall with whorls of palmately dissected leaves that appear after flowering; young leaves strongly hairy, rounded heart-shaped in outline. Flowers up to 8 cm in diameter, blue-violet, at first broadly bell-shaped, later star-open, erect, very decorative. On well-developed bushes, up to 40-50 flowers bloom simultaneously.

Slide #22 Our spring flowers have not only aesthetic beauty, but also medicinal properties. At all times, insomnia and other functional nervous diseases, migraine, neurasthenia, spasmophilia, neurosis, neuritis, neuralgia were treated with backache, numb body parts were rubbed with juice.

Slide #23 MORE flower

Slide #24 The purpose of the practical lesson: Acquaintance with the multilayer glazing watercolor technique. Layer-by-layer application of paints with the expectation of their drying. Practicing reception on spring flowers.

Slide #25 Materials and tools. Special paper for watercolor, a pencil and an eraser, two jars of water, squirrel brushes with No. 3, 6, watercolor paints, a palette and a damp cloth.

Slide #26 Safety engineering. Although the composition contains honey and sugar in watercolor, I have never heard of an allergic reaction, but the colors are quite persistent and bright. Will get on white clothes and is quite difficult to wash off.

Slide #27 Let's start practical work

Slide #28 So, before you start painting flowers with watercolors, you need to draw them with a pencil. I think if you have been drawing for more than a year, you can easily cope with this task.

Slide #29 Prepare the required colors on the palette with plenty of water

Slide #30 Now we apply watercolor on the flowers of a light purple, yellow or lilac hue. The color should be gentle and soft, dark shades are applied later.

Slide #32 A slightly more saturated shade creates shadows on the surface of the flower petals.

Slide #33 At this stage, you need a bright pink color. This will make the flowers bright and colorful.

Slide #34 repetition of the material and the conclusion of the lesson. And now for a break, and in the second lesson we complete the work on the picture.
