How to methodically correctly create a drawing lesson in a preparatory group on the topic “Mushrooms and berries”

Preparation

Drawing classes allow the child to develop comprehensively

The result of achieving the goals and objectives depends on how thoroughly the teacher prepares for the lesson - this is no secret. And taking into account all the subtleties of the preparatory process plays an important role in this process.

Materials

In the preparatory group, children are already familiar with the main types of drawing materials. That is, they can use

• pencils;
• gouache;
• watercolor;
• wax crayons;
• markers.

This is interesting. Many methodologists categorically deny the possibility of using felt-tip pens in drawing classes in kindergarten, since children cannot use them to convey shades and elementary shadows in an image.

The basis

The A4 format is most convenient for children to use.

As a basis for drawing you can use:

• paper of different thicknesses (colored or printer paper);
• cardboard (thick and thin).

The only condition is that the drawing format should not be larger than A4 if we are talking about individual work. For group assignments, you can use sheets of A3 and even A1 format.

This is interesting. Images on whatman paper are allowed if the teacher takes an active part in creating the overall composition of the work.

Techniques and techniques in the preparatory group

As a task for sketching, children can not complete the entire composition, but only its element

It is assumed that in the preparatory group children already know a number of non-traditional drawing techniques (for example, blotography, when an outline is applied to random spots of paint, or palm painting, when various images are created based on the outline of the palms). However, classical techniques still remain a priority. Among them

• coloring picture templates;
• completing the composition on a ready-made background (for example, a forest background is complemented by a drawing of a hedgehog, squirrel, mushrooms, berries, etc.);
• sketching (this technique is actively mastered in the senior group and practiced in the preparatory group);
• tracing and coloring stencils (in the group the figures depicted are becoming more complex, animals appear with traced contours of fur, small objects in the composition, etc.);
• drawing from life (natural materials are used as nature - branches, stumps, acorns, chestnuts, etc.).

To depict mushrooms and berries, it will be important to use additional drawing, sketching and drawing from life.

Drawing techniques are determined by the fact that children already have clear ideas about the point-boundaries of the image, determined by the idea of ​​the drawing. Available for children 6–7 years old

• any form of painting (small, large details, as well as elementary shadows);
• drawing thin and wide lines in any direction;
• vertical position of the brush when drawing thin lines and inclined position of the brush for wide lines (when using paints);
• dipping, when a brush dipped in paint is applied to the paper with all its bristles to make a print;
• mixing a watercolor palette to obtain different shades;
• techniques for painting in different positions of the pencil in relation to the sheet.

In a lesson on mushrooms and berries, you can combine all these techniques, depending on what materials will be used.

Using semolina painted in different colors using watercolor or gouache allows you to quickly fill the image with color

Drawing with cotton swabs is a type of blotography where an object takes its shape from a spot of paint.

To create this drawing, the technique of fingerprinting paint was used.

How to personalize work?

The implementation of an individual approach is one of the main goals of the educational process in kindergarten. This is easier to do in drawing classes than in others, since the final product is a priori unique. And yet, the teacher can already achieve the goal at the stage of setting the task. To do this, an adult can give the following drawing options:

• present the composition at different times of the day (day, night, morning) or different times of the year, which implies the use of different colors;
• depict a picture from life in different approximations (for example, from close range if the baby has vision problems);
• add one element to a given composition at your discretion and prove the validity of this detail.

This is interesting. To individualize the drawing, you can invite children to add elements of other types of visual activities, for example, appliqué made from natural materials, fabric, or three-dimensional plasticine parts.

Composition options

Drawing, as already mentioned, can be done individually and collectively. In the latter case, it is better if these are elements (for example, pine, squirrel, mushrooms, etc.) made on separate sheets and then placed against a general background . Alternatively, children can color individual blocks of the overall composition. As for the thematic variety of using images of mushrooms and berries as a task, this is traditionally an “autumn-winter” thematic block, when kids study natural phenomena, the life of animals associated with the changes of the seasons. You can suggest the following ideas for wording the topic:

• “Supplies for a hedgehog”;
• "Rowan Branch";
• "Mushroom Glade";
• "Amanita";
• “Bullfinches on a rowan branch”;
• “Who hid there under the tree?”;
• “Gifts for a squirrel”, etc.

How to draw a fox?

Chanterelles are different in appearance from most other mushrooms. It may be yellow or orange. They have an irregular shape: the edges are wavy, curved towards the bottom. The cap is almost completely fused with the stem. Such mushrooms grow in almost every forest. More often found near oak, birch or pine. Having learned a few distinctive features, you can begin to depict it on paper in stages.

1. We make the outline of the mushroom. To make it beautiful, you need to draw two auxiliary lines: one horizontal, the second vertical, slightly tilted to the side.
2. We add two slashes to the vertical line. This will be the base of the leg. Now we draw two lines up, gradually expanding them. The result is a shape similar to a cup.
3. To give the top its own shape, draw an elongated and uneven oval. It should protrude slightly to the sides.
4. We remove all auxiliary lines. Under the cap we draw, a little with a slight slope, a lot of vertical stripes. Draw the grass using sharp triangles.
5. All that remains is to color everything. We outline the outline in brown, lightly shading the mushroom itself. Make the sides more saturated. Add orange to the top of the leg. The grass is green. This is how easy it is to draw a fox with a pencil, following a step-by-step plan.

Motivation

As visual materials on the topic, you can offer pictures of different forest animals that feed on berries and mushrooms

The involvement of children in work depends on how much the teacher manages to interest them in the topic. To do this, you can use a whole arsenal of techniques, combining them depending on the topic and time frame of this stage of the lesson.

Songs

Musical accompaniment of classes allows not only to create a favorable atmosphere in the children's group, but also to present the necessary information in an unobtrusive form, for example, about what edible mushrooms look like. Moreover, you can choose videos so that kids not only listen and sing along, but also perform certain rhythmic movements. In this case, motivation can be combined with physical education.

Poems

Rhymed lines easily and accurately fit into children’s memory, which is why in preschool education, memorizing poems by heart is almost the main method of consolidating acquired knowledge. For a drawing lesson, poems can be selected separately by type of mushrooms and berries, or in general about the gifts of autumn, for example.

• They walked along the path - they found Borovik. The boletus hid its head in the moss. We could pass it, it’s good that we walked quietly.
• Golden foxes - Curious sisters. They wear red berets, they bring autumn to the forest in summer.
• I walk through the forest, I look at the berries: There is a raspberry on the bush, There is a rowan on the tree, There is a strawberry in the grass, There is a blueberry under the mountain, Klyukovka is on a hummock... - The box is empty!
• - Autumn! Tell me quickly, have you saved anything for the animals? - I will give the bear and wood grouse a lot of berries. And cloudberries, and raspberries, and ruddy rowan. - And for the forest squirrel I have a different surprise: I will give the red-haired baby Acorns, mushrooms and pine cones.

Puzzles

This is a quick and very productive way to get children into the mood for work, since solving riddles does not require much time, and kids listen with pleasure and try to give an answer as quickly as possible.

• This fungus is the son of a birch tree. Whoever finds it, everyone puts it in a basket (Boletus).
• The mushroom is red - dangerous to health (Amanita).
• Yellow-red foxes - they call us sisters (Little Chanterelles).
• Near the stumps and on the lawn We always walk in a flock. Very friendly guys, They call us... (honey mushrooms).

Fairy tales

One of the win-win options to get kids to work is fairy tales. As motivation for a drawing lesson on the topic of berries and mushrooms, you can suggest not just listening to ready-made stories, but coming up with your own (from 2-4 sentences) on a given topic. For example,

• Once upon a time there lived a friendly family of cheerful mushrooms. One day a misfortune happened: the little brother got sick, so much so that he turned green all over...
• A daughter was born to the mushroom king Boletus, and he threw a feast on this occasion. He invited distinguished guests: Borovik and Borovikha, Gruzdya and Volnushka and other mushroom inhabitants...
• Chanterelles grew up in a clearing, bright and orange, and the evil witch Toadstool White lived nearby...

Conversation and visibility

It’s hard to imagine drawing without pictures. Children should see different options for interpreting the image that they have to reproduce. That is, if we are talking about berries, the images should be made from different angles, always with enlargement (for example, individual rowan berries, and not just bunches). And, of course, looking at the pictures should take place during a conversation on the topic.

• How often do you go to the forest?
• What grows in the forest?
• Why are mushrooms and wild berries needed?
• What can you do with mushrooms or berries at home? etc.

What can be used as a motivating start to a lesson?

In order for preschoolers to better understand the signs and properties of the depicted objects, the teacher constantly works to help children understand the world around them. Without this, no drawing activity is possible. So, before inviting the children to draw mushrooms, the teacher conducts a lesson on this topic, where he talks in detail about what kind of living objects these are. Be sure to show pictures depicting all kinds of mushrooms, the teacher explains the difference between edible and poisonous ones. It is also good to touch on the topic of behavior in the forest.

As a motivating start to the lesson

It is possible to offer a fairy tale about mushrooms, of which there are a great variety. For example, it is worth recalling the work of Russian folklore “The War of Mushrooms and Berries”, adapted by V. Dahl, or the famous fairy tale by V. Suteev “Under the Mushroom”. The children's task will be to draw their favorite episode from a fairy tale. By the way, this fairy tale can be played out in an interesting way: toy characters came to visit the children and asked them to help them hide from the rain - to draw a big mushroom where they could all take shelter.

In addition, we can recommend other, lesser-known literary works: E. Shim “The Brave Honey Mushroom”, N. Pavlova “Two Tales of Mushrooms”, A. Lopatina “Acquaintance with Mushrooms”, N. Sladkov “Amanita” and “Round Dance of Mushrooms” ", V. Zotov "Autumn Honey fungus". These literary fairy tales and stories touch on various issues, such as how the names of mushrooms came about, whether it is possible to grow mushrooms in the garden, and how beneficial mushrooms can turn into harmful ones. Many of these aspects can be played out in class and an interesting motivation can be created based on them. For example, tell that mushrooms grew near the road and became harmful (because they absorbed harmful exhaust gases), and the children’s task is to draw new, useful, environmentally friendly mushrooms that grow in the forest.

To develop speech and broaden the horizons of children, it is good to introduce them to signs and proverbs about mushrooms. For example, according to the superstition “Where there is a red fly agaric, there is a white mushroom sitting nearby”, you can create an entire composition (as an option “Where one butterfly was born, others fled side by side”).

Scheme for drawing up lesson notes

To ensure that children are not distracted by anything, the teacher must carefully consider the structure of the lesson.

A detailed plan for working with children in a specific period of time is that part of the methodological work that determines the professionalism of the teacher . And you should start preparing your lesson by formulating your goals:

• teach children to depict mushrooms and berries on paper using different techniques;
• consolidate children’s knowledge about the structure of forest flora, shapes and colors of plants;
• train the skill of depicting several objects on one line;
• expand children’s understanding of natural phenomena;
• develop creative abilities;
• cultivate respect for the environment;
• instill a positive attitude towards creativity and communication with each other.

The tasks may be the following:

• consolidate knowledge about edible/poisonous mushrooms/berries;
• develop memory, cognitive sphere;
• automate the ability to distinguish mushrooms/berries from pictures or riddles/songs/poems;
• cultivate patience in work.

It is very important to observe the timing of each stage of work.

• Introductory part - 5 minutes (repetition of what we did last time, motivational techniques).
• The main stage of the work is 20 minutes (formulating the task, performing the work with the obligatory inclusion of physical education and finger gymnastics in the timing).
• The final stage is 5 minutes (drawing up a group composition or designing individual works on one stand, words of encouragement from the teacher and the child’s reflection, for example, in the form of questions - Did you like the lesson? What did you like? or What did you not like? Did you manage to draw everything you planned? How? will you rate your picture? Which picture, in your opinion, is the most beautiful? Why? etc.).

How to draw realistic mushrooms with a simple pencil: a step-by-step master class for beginners

The following instructions are suitable for those who want to learn how to draw in a graphic style. Here we will talk about many important things for a beginning artist, namely the light source, highlights, shadows. However, do not forget that by drawing one picture you will not reveal your talent; multiple repetitions and tests of different drawings and materials are necessary. This is the only way you can get better.

And now we propose to depict two mushrooms using pencils of different softness. You can easily find them in any office supply store.

Let's get creative!

How to draw realistic mushrooms with a simple pencil:

• We outline the first mushroom with a closed top. The second one grows very close, but at an angle and its bottom is turned towards us.

• Below we will mark the grass. The light in our plot will fall from the left side, which means that from the corresponding edge we designate the highlights in a square shape. Showing the shadow cast by a large hat.

• We begin to fill in the objects, placing more dense shading on the right side. Draw a striped structure on the leg. The smaller your lines, the neater your work will look.

• We are creating a clearing.
  Advice: Add as many flowers, twigs and blades of grass as possible. So, the picture will look more diverse, it will be interesting to look at it.

  Let's add texture to the mushrooms by making cross hatching.

If you wish, you can complete the background, for example, tree trunks or a butterfly flying by.

Stages of working on a drawing

"Basket with mushrooms for a hedgehog"

This drawing can be done using the sketching technique

To complete this drawing, you can use both watercolor and gouache. First, children make a pencil sketch of mushrooms, and then complete the drawing (without a pencil outline) of the basket.

Instructions:

1. “We draw with a pencil the ovals of the caps and legs of the mushrooms.”
2. “We paint them in yellow-beige-brown colors.”
3. “We use beige paint to make an oval into which we write mushrooms.”
4. “We finish drawing the basket, color it yellow.”
5. “We let the background dry for 1-2 minutes and apply a pattern of cells with brown paint.”
6. “We also use brown to imitate weaving on the handle of the basket.”

This is interesting. If there is no beige paint in the palette, then you can make it by mixing white with yellow, adding a little brown.

"Bunch of Rowan"

The size of the image of rowan berries trains the baby's eye and sense of proportion

To complete this drawing, the dabbing technique is recommended, but a pencil outline is not required at all.

Instructions:

1. “Dip the brush into brown paint and paint a twig.”
2. “We apply thin short strokes like branches with green color.”
3. “We draw berries on each branch, making dots with orange or red paint.”
4. “Dip the brush into the green paint again and paint the branches for the leaves, making them thin but long.”
5. “Now we apply the leaves by applying the bristles of the brush in one direction to the long green branches.”

"Amanita"

Drawings with felt-tip pens are usually practiced in classes devoted to creating an illustration for a fairy tale heard or a cartoon seen.

This drawing can be an illustration for a poem or fairy tale you have listened to, and since it is done with felt-tip pens, it takes a little less time to create. That is why such pictures can be supplemented with accompanying elements (in this case, butterflies, clouds, etc.).

Instructions:

1. “We start by drawing the contours of the tree.”
2. “We show the branches and draw marks on the birch trunk.”
3. “Drawing the caps and legs of fly agaric mushrooms.”
4. “We color them, not forgetting to leave white spots.” You can use not only felt-tip pens for coloring, but also pencils.
5. “We draw butterflies. We draw an oval outline for the body, add wings in the form of the number 3, add a circle-head, and don’t forget about the antennae.”
6. "Coloring butterflies."
7. “We close the wavy lines into a shape similar to a circle - these are clouds.”
8. “Coloring the clouds, finishing the sun.”

Drawings of mushrooms and berries in the preparatory group can be either an illustration of the studied material related to the theme of autumn, preparations for animals, or gifts of the forest, or a way to practice artistic techniques using paints and pencils. In addition, these drawings allow you to practice the skill of creating images without a pencil outline, which, in turn, teaches children not only to maintain proportions and work without rough lines, but also trains their eye, and also develops a sense of color.

White King

Let's start with the simplest and most popular option. You can draw with your child. To do this, you should prepare: simple and multi-colored pencils, plastic.

• We draw the contours of the mushroom. We make the head semicircular, and add an elongated oval at the bottom. This is a leg.
• Next we draw the same one, only smaller in size. We are engaged in drawing contours and details. At the bottom of the cap we draw an arc separating its top. The line indicates the location of the beginning of the leg.
• Make the contours of the small mushroom clearer. We remove all auxiliary dashes. For a beautiful look, add grass. It may slightly overlap the main part.
• Now you can start coloring. The tops will be brown. Show a little light highlight. We make the base gray and the grass green. Paint the bottom of the cap with pale yellow paint. The drawing is ready.
