We draw with our hands with children. How to teach a child to draw? Drawing with fingers and palms

Drawing is one of the favorite activities of preschoolers, which takes them into the world of bright and amazing images. And if the teacher also offers for this unusual ways, then the kids are simply delighted. Great positive emotions in children themselves of different ages causes drawing with palms. This technique develops fine motor skills, color perception, and stimulates sensory sensations.

Features of organizing palm painting classes in kindergarten. Specifics of working in different groups, level of complexity of compositions

Hand drawing is very simple technique: The child dips his hands in paint or paints them with a brush, and then leaves a print on a piece of paper. This fascinating process is similar to fun game- children are liberated and reveal their creative potential.

In addition, when drawing with your palms, a large number of nerve endings that are located on these parts of the body are activated. This leads to activation of the cerebral cortex, and, as a consequence, the development of mental processes. This drawing technique is also a good reflex massage: after all, on the palms there are points associated with various organs.

When organizing classes in “palm” painting, the teacher must follow the principle “from simple to complex.” You can start such experiments with paint already in the first younger group. Two-year-old children do not yet know how to handle a brush, and painting with their palm is the best way to depict them. This technique gives children the opportunity to have direct contact with paint, simultaneously developing fine motor skills and, as a result, speech and intelligence.

Preschoolers and toddlers receive abstract images using palm prints. At this age, the goal is not to create a specific image - children are fascinated by the process itself, they enjoy bright colors and interaction with paint.

Two-year-olds enjoy drawing with their palms

In addition, “palm” painting calms a small child and gives him positive emotions. This is especially important during the adaptation period - the baby is distracted, calms down, and forgets about his mother. In addition, such activities are useful because they give children the opportunity to feel important and independent.

Hand drawing continues in the second younger group, especially since some children begin to attend kindergarten only from the age of three. Classes here are already moving to a more complex level: the child, with the help of the teacher, completes the handprint with simple details, creating the image of some simple object - the sun, a fish, a flower. At this age, preschoolers can already be offered collective work using this non-traditional technique: each child leaves an imprint - the result is some kind of image (the sun or a tree with leaves).

In the middle group, drawing based on “palm” painting becomes even more complicated, the images become more detailed. A child, for example, can already depict a dinosaur or a dragon in this way, adding characteristic elements to the print: a comb, paws, an intricate tail.

Pupil's drawing middle group

By older preschool age, children, as a rule, are fluent in the technique of drawing with their palms and can create wonderful works. Five-year-old children can independently come up with a theme for a drawing, skillfully using their acquired skills. Compositions are increasingly of a plot nature, for example, a horse grazing in a meadow or wild animals walking along the African savannah. Note that all images are carefully drawn and convey characteristics items or objects.

Teamwork pupils senior group

Pupil's drawing preparatory group

In the senior and preparatory groups, preschoolers can no longer dip their hands into the paint, but apply it themselves with a brush. This method allows you to make a print not monochrome, but multi-colored: after all, fingers can be painted in different colors.

Children of senior preschool age apply paint to their palms with a brush.

Materials used and base, hygienic point

In the younger and middle groups, gouache paint is used for “palm” painting; it is slightly diluted with water and poured into a flat saucer so that it is easy for the child to place his palm there.

Note that a good alternative to gouache are water-based finger paints: they are easily washed off from the body and clothes, and in addition, they will not cause harm if the child decides to taste them. Finger paints do not spread, so your baby can easily apply them to his palm.

A wonderful alternative to gouache

In senior preschool age For painting with their palms, children can also be offered watercolors, since they themselves apply the paint to their palms with a brush.

Original works are obtained by combining materials. For example, key image The child draws with paint, and the background is completed with a pencil.

Drawing with watercolors and pencils

Also, applicative and plasticine elements can be successfully included in the composition. For example, multi-colored prints applied to a blue background can easily turn into jellyfish. The image will only need to be completed with eyes and fancy algae. The composition can be made more original by gluing voluminous eyes, and the seaweed can also be made embossed using applicative elements (breakfast cereal rings).

Drawing with applique elements

Another example - with the help of palms the prickly back of a hedgehog is depicted, and the rest of his body is decorated using appliqué from wads of napkins.

Combination of drawing and appliqué

Using plasticine you can beautifully design the eyes and legs of birds.

Plasticine elements are organically included in the watercolor drawing

As for the basis for the image, as a rule, the teacher offers the children paper in the traditional A4 format. However, occasionally non-standard materials, such as fabric, can be used for this purpose. This can be a variegated multi-colored material, but in which the child leaves an imprint in some rich color (for example, black, brown or dark blue). Another unusual option is drawing on plastic (finger paints should be offered to preschoolers for this purpose).

During the palm painting lesson, the teacher pays special attention to the hygienic aspect: children must have napkins (wet ones possible) at their workplace, which the child uses to wipe their hands before going to wash them.

Drawing techniques used in different groups: basic technique and finishing details

Drawing with palms does not require preschoolers to master any complex technique. In the younger and middle groups, kids simply dip a brush into the paint and leave a mark on the paper. When adding details to the image, the technique of working with the brush is already improved: elements, as a rule, are drawn with the tip, while the tool is located almost vertically in relation to the paper.

Note that children draw with both their right and left hands (for example, a butterfly can only be depicted with prints of two palms at once).

When supplementing the main image with details, the younger group often uses finger painting(for example, in this way you can mark the eye of a fish or the pebbles next to it on the seabed). At an older age, for similar purposes, you can offer cotton buds. In addition, “palm” painting can be combined with a print.

The drawing successfully combines various non-traditional techniques - drawing with palms, fingers and imprinting

Pupils in the middle group are already learning to place an image in the center of the sheet, for example, it will be a bird sitting on a tree branch. In addition, they understand that if you press your palm harder onto the paper, the drawing will turn out more vibrant.

Depending on the intended image, children should change the location of their fingers on their hand. For example, to depict a fish, you need to press your thumb against your palm. If a tree, sun, or butterfly is drawn, then all fingers, on the contrary, are spread out. You will get a realistic elephant if thumb stick out from the rest as much as possible.

In addition, the teacher explains to the students in the middle group that when making an imprint, the palm must be rotated in a certain way. For example, when drawing animals, your fingers should point down, as they will represent the paws of the animal.

When creating an animal image, the palm is usually placed with the fingers down

From the age of five (senior group), preschoolers can independently paint their palms using a brush. At the same time, the teacher draws the children’s attention to the fact that the paint should be applied in an even layer, not too thick, but also without leaving empty spaces - the quality of the drawing depends on this. Each finger can be painted in its own color, but you should remember to wash the brush in a timely manner.

Note that the choice of color along with well-drawn details is of key importance when drawing with palms. Let's give some examples. A red-yellow handprint can easily turn into a fire, you just need to add two stripes to the image Brown(using broad strokes with the entire bristle of the brush).

Watercolor drawing

And the black print can become the original Batman mask - you just need to add recognizable details with the tip of the brush.

From several two-color contours of the palms you will get a funny centipede. And to depict her head with horns, you need to raise your middle and ring fingers when typing.

By applying the paint onto the palms unevenly, in pale green spots, we get charming turtles with their characteristic uneven color.

A white print on a green background is an almost finished image of a zebra; all that remains is to paint it with white stripes with the tip of a brush and finish drawing a graceful tail.

Card index of topics for different groups, including collective compositions

Let's imagine sample list topics for each age group, which can be used when teaching preschoolers how to draw with their palms:

Junior group:

• “Colored palms” (children learn to make handprints on paper).
• "Octopuses"
• “Golden Sun” (team work).
• “Leaf Fall” (team work).
• "A flower for mom."
• "My mittens."
• "Two merry geese lived with granny".
• "Grass".

Middle group:

• "Beauty Butterfly"
• “Titmouse” (as an option – “Bullfinch”, “Sparrow”, “Swans”).
• “Snake Gorynych” (as an option - “Dragon”, “Dinosaur”).
• “Spring” (grass with flowers is depicted using palms).

Senior group:

• “Underwater world” (as an option – “Aquarium”).
• "Beautiful bouquet".
• "Butterfly in the Meadow"
• "Fairytale Bird"
• "Multi-colored cockerel."
• "Elephant".
• “Fairytale Forest” (alternatively – “Old Stump in the Forest”).
• “The forest is our wealth” (as an option – “ Magical forest") (teamwork).

Preparatory group:

• "Crow".
• "Hedgehog".
• "Cactus".
• "Horse in the meadow."
• "Mysterious undersea world».
• "Dog".
• "Flowers in a vase".
• "Peacock".
• "Crow".
• “May there always be peace” (poster with images of birds against a background of nature) (team work)

Note that many topics are offered to children of different ages, for example, drawing a butterfly, fish, bird, flower. However, each group has its own level of difficulty.

For example, if early preschool children simply add the necessary details to a butterfly (eyes, antennae), then at an older age the image becomes more detailed: the image of an insect printed with the help of their palms is decorated with intricate patterns, interesting contrasting colors are selected. Similarly, the fish in the second younger group will simply be supplemented with eyes, and later the children will draw an entire underwater world based on such an image; sea inhabitants will differ from each other in color and scale pattern.

Class notes

Examples of drawings by preschoolers using the non-traditional technique of drawing with palms with comments on how to complete the work

Photo gallery “Works of pupils of the first junior group”

In the first junior group, kids simply practice “palm” painting, creating abstract images. To create a specific image, the teacher guides the child’s hands and himself completes the image with the necessary details - in this regard, the composition “Spider” is indicative. At this age, children are often offered group work, where the teacher again plays the leading role. For example, he draws the central part of the sun with eyes, a smile and a wreath, and the kids use their palms to depict its rays (“Golden Sun”). Another option is for the teacher to designate a tree trunk, and the children complement it with leaves from their palms or snow flakes. Also at this age, children are offered interpretations on a flower theme: they are invited to complement the drawn stem with buds from multi-colored palms (“Bouquet for Mommy”, “Flower for Beloved Mommy”).

Collective work Collective work Collective work Collective work Gouache drawing Collective work

In the second younger group, preschoolers themselves create complete images, for example, they independently draw a stem with leaves and complement it with colorful buds using “palm” painting. Kids are able to draw a cockerel by drawing it character traits- red comb, paws and multi-colored tail. Often at this age, children draw a fish, adding eyes and a characteristic background (blue water, algae, pebbles).

Pupils of the second younger group themselves, without the help of a teacher, draw a tree, passing its crown with the help of their palm (“ Autumn tree" And collective composition"The forest is our wealth").

The “Pink Elephant” drawing is of interest: although the animal is not drawn very proportionally, characteristic features are still visible: a trunk, large ears, a small tail.

In the middle group we see work of a more complex level. The fish already have their own character, an intricate pattern of scales. The drawing has more complex composition: fish, for example, swim towards each other (“Happy Fish”).

Trees are depicted in an interesting way: the branches are not just lined with fingers: smaller elements extend from them, resulting in an elegant image. In this regard, the work “The Magic Forest” is indicative. The mysterious trees here are also complemented by applicative details - squirrels sitting in a hollow. Positive mood comes from the drawing “Spring”: with the help of palms, stems of flowers are drawn here, each of which is decorated with a beautiful bright yellow bud with a red core. Interesting intricately shaped cacti are depicted using palm painting in the composition “Giraffe in Africa”.

Pupils in the middle group are already quite good at depicting animals and birds, giving the image characteristic details. This is the “Giraffe” with its beautiful spotted coloring, horns and hooves, and the titmouse with a yellow breast and ruffled feathers. Children successfully draw even the fairytale Serpent Gorynych (“Serpent Gorynych”, “My Favorite Fairy Tale”).

Also at this age, collective works are practiced, for example, the fantasy composition “Falling Leaves and Falling Stars,” where yellow palms symbolize falling stars.

Pupils of the senior group create more detailed subject compositions and complicated plots. Thus, a giraffe, created with the help of palms, has a carefully drawn muzzle and a tail with a tassel at the end (“Giraffe”). The picture “Little Raven” turned out to be a funny bird: it has funnyly spread its wings, ruffled its feathers, its red legs and beak of the same color look bright and contrasting.

Images are increasingly of a narrative nature. So, the guys don’t just draw beautiful ones with their palms yellow flowers, but also complement the composition with bees flying around them (“Bees pollinate flowers”). The palms are drawn with the crowns of southern palm trees, between which a crocodile is resting against the backdrop of a bright orange sun. The composition “Swans - Wonderful Birds” is made in delicate pastel shades, where the sea and sky are slightly different in tone, the vibrations are conveyed with thin strokes sea ​​waves. The swans themselves swim against the backdrop of seagulls soaring in the sky. The huge yellow sun also looks impressive here.

With the help of multi-colored palms, a bright “Fairytale Bird” was originally drawn against the background of a bright rainbow and large drops of rain.

My kids love it very much paint. And if we draw in an unusual way, it simply delights them. We draw very often palms. Drawing with palms- This is another way of depicting the world around us. Draw with children's hands I start at an early age. They don't know how yet paint with brush and palm or finger is the best way for a small child. Paint for babies should be poured into a flat saucer so that the child can easily dip palms. From 5 years of age children palm They can already paint with a brush. In such classes, children become familiar with the properties of paints, color, and develop artistic taste and spatial imagination. In progress palm painting development is taking place fine motor skills, sensory, color perception. By using palms you can create any abstraction, draw story pictures. Overboiling palm in different ways,Can finish drawing different details and realize any ideas, enjoying the color.

The process of creating something like this causes great delight among children.

When we draw with our palms and hands, the work involves many sensitive endings, which this zone abounds in, so the child not only enjoys the activity, but also activates many areas of the cerebral cortex, which contributes to its development.

A pink palm can turn into a strawberry or a piece of juicy;

and from several two-color contours of the handles you will get a charming centipede.

Drawing with palms, fingers and legs contributes to the development of fine motor skills of the fingers, curiosity and interest in children's work. The image of objects helps children develop imagination, memory, helps the child to know better the world. Besides, it's very fun and interesting (getting dirty with paint).

During the lessons, children learn to name and distinguish colors. The dots drawn with your fingers can be raindrops, or they can also be grains for the chickens. The handprint may be a bullfinch, or it may turn into goldfish, fulfilling wishes. All this contributes to the formation of artistic and imaginative thinking.

Special finger paints are safe for children. They contain only natural ingredients.

When a child is still small, it is difficult for him to draw with brushes, felt-tip pens, or pencils. Therefore, arms, legs, and fingers are best suited for babies. Yes, back in early age, adult without special effort will help the child develop a love of creativity, will show the child new, unconventional drawing techniques.

Drawing with fingers, palms, legs is a permitted game with dirt, which allows you to rid an individual of aggression. Moreover, no one criticizes this game, but on the contrary, everyone admires it.

Finger painting is preparatory stage for the transition to painting with a brush, teaches you to feel the boundaries of the sheet, has a positive effect on the development of imaginative thinking.

Photo report. Finger painting in the second junior group “Airplane”. Finger painting is a very interesting and amazing activity.

Dear colleagues! The other day I was replacing a colleague in a pre-school group. In addition to conducting a shaping class.

We all know that creativity plays a huge role in a child’s life. But how to present this to a little person so that his development will occur.

I am fond of non-traditional techniques drawing and try to involve my preschoolers in this. Interestingly, you can draw not only with...

Our children love to draw with plasticine. We somehow liked this type of activity. Or maybe because children love to do things.
