Drawing on the topic “Clothes, shoes and hats” in the senior group: understanding the aspects
If in the middle preschool level the children drew clothes, shoes and hats mainly according to a ready-made template, then in the older groups they themselves draw and paint its silhouette. Children 5–6 years old already have a fairly developed sense of shape, color, and proportion. Looking at a piece of clothing, they quickly determine its shape and recreate it on a sheet of paper. In addition, they have no difficulty in drawing things from memory or from an idea.
Children of this age successfully master compositional skills: they place an object on paper according to its proportions: for example, if it is a long sundress or dress, then the sheet of paper is positioned vertically, but if the object is elongated in width (a pair of mittens), then horizontally.
The children's knowledge of basic colors is consolidated, they recognize new colors (purple) and shades (lilac, light green, etc.) and actively use them in their works. Children distinguish between dark and light tones, pale and saturated. Note that the teacher should draw the attention of preschoolers to the fact that not only multi-colored compositions look attractive, but also single-color ones (sometimes this can make the drawing more expressive). However, when drawing clothes, the teacher does not impose his opinion on the children: he gives them the opportunity to express their own preferences.
Drawing clothes, shoes and hats, although it relates to subject matter, is in fact very closely intertwined with decorative drawing: after all, kids not only depict dresses, boots, mittens, but also decorate them with a variety of, sometimes intricate, patterns. The teacher’s task is to help them achieve rhythm in the construction of the ornament.
Materials used and base
When drawing wardrobe items, we mainly use a standard base (A4 sheets of paper). When painting with paints, it is tinted in pale pastel shades. As for ready-made templates, they are offered to children only if the emphasis in the lesson is on decorating clothes with some specific pattern (for example, when depicting the clothes of the ancient Slavs or if the topic is designated “Fabric Painting”). Here, first of all, the decorative skills of preschoolers are assessed. We also note that working with templates is also more appropriate when teaching children with mental retardation.
If group work is expected, the teacher prepares a large template and the required shape in advance.
Preschoolers color the elements to their liking
A blank that several preschoolers will fill in with details
As for drawing tools, in the senior preschool level children are provided not only with colored pencils and paints (gouache and watercolor) - wax crayons and a simple graphite pencil are often used (graphic compositions).
Drawing techniques and techniques to use
In the senior group, all visual skills are further improved. The most key ones are the different positions of the pencil and brush depending on the drawing techniques. When painting large details, the tool leans more towards the paper - the strokes are wider. When drawing small elements, the brush or pencil should be held almost vertically, closer to the base. All these techniques develop ease and freedom of movement, which makes it possible to express creative imagination.
Pupils of the senior group also practice the skill of regulating pressure on a pencil. Drawing light lines makes it possible to draw a more accurate, realistic shape, adjusting it as necessary. On the other hand, clear lines are necessary to obtain intense color.
If in the middle level children depicted objects of complex shapes, dividing them into simpler component parts, now the teacher teaches them to draw a contour with one line. For this skill, you need to practice free rotation of your hand during the image process (no need to rotate the paper). This skill is developed gradually (drawing multidirectional arcs, wavy lines, curls).
When working with paints, preschoolers learn to independently obtain new colors and shades, and to lighten the color of watercolor paint by diluting it with water.
Additional types of visual activities used when drawing wardrobe items, the relevance of an individual approach
The depiction of clothes, shoes and hats is largely decorative drawing, so the use of various additional types of decoration would be very appropriate here. This can be an application using both traditional and non-traditional materials. For example, a hat drawn and colored with pencils will be decorated with paper geometric shapes, and a coat painted with gouache can be glued to real plastic buttons.
Drawing organically combines with appliqué
The appliqué elements made from fabrics look interesting in the picture. For example, the drawn girl is wearing a glued-on fur coat made of velvety material, which is decorated with paper buttons.
A fur coat made of soft fabric is pasted onto a drawn silhouette of a girl.
For decorative purposes when drawing clothes, it is quite possible to use plasticine, forming various elements of the pattern from it.
Since preschoolers in the older group already differ from each other in the level of development of artistic abilities, it is quite possible for them to individualize tasks according to the degree of complexity. A well-prepared child can be offered to decorate his drawing in any of the ways listed above, or offered another sheet of paper or a template to create a new composition (on a different level).

Specific options for compositions within the theme “Clothes, shoes and hats”
In the first half of the year (October), pupils of the senior group are invited to draw on the theme “Girl in an elegant dress.” However, here attention is paid not so much to the shape and decoration of clothing, but to the transfer of the correct proportions of the human figure. By the way, a little later, in December, the sculpture “Girl in a Winter Coat” is carried out.
It is advisable to periodically offer preschoolers images of individual items of clothing. This should be drawing according to the season (for example, in winter - mittens, a hat, coat, in autumn - a dress, in spring - a sundress). Some topics, for example those affecting the clothing of the ancient Slavs, are appropriate at any time of the year. It is advisable that drawing be preceded by an appropriate lesson to familiarize yourself with the world around you.
Drawing specific items of clothing should ideally be preceded by a lesson in decorative fabric painting, in which children decorate templates for dresses, sundresses, and sweaters with beautiful patterns. The goal of such an activity is for children to understand that materials are not only plain, but also decorated with a beautiful print.
Let us outline specific options for classes within the topic:
- "House of Models" (or "Atelier").
- “Clothes of the Slavs” (“What they wore in Rus'”).
- “Dressy boots” (“Boots for a doll”), “Felt boots”.
- “Coat for a doll” (“Fur coat for a doll”).
- "A smart dress for mom."
- “My hat” (or the “Hat and mittens” set).
- “Beautiful mittens” (“Mittens for the Snow Maiden”).
If desired, you can also organize a group project, for example, “Beautiful Warm Scarf.” Children are divided into subgroups of approximately seven people. The teacher offers each of them a large base in the form of a scarf and separate paper fragments that compose it like a puzzle. Each child paints his own element, and then they are glued to the base - you get an original multi-colored accessory.
The accessory is made up of separate paper fragments
