Drawing "It's Raining"
The older group is already identifying the characteristics of rain (mushroom, blind, torrential, autumn, summer). The teacher just needs to focus on the fact that the drops are depicted in one direction. First, children draw clouds with raindrops, then they depict people with an umbrella; at the last stage, preschoolers depict rain “on the other side of the window.”
What to pay attention to when depicting rain clouds.
- If the clouds are nearby, then depict the rain as elongated drops of different sizes, but in the same direction. The drops start from the middle of the cloud, and not from the edge. The bottom and top of the clouds are darker in color than the foreground.
- If the clouds are far away, then shade the background under them with a pencil, forming a continuous shower stream. Then use strokes to identify individual raindrops.
This is a simple drawing (“It’s Raining”). The older group is quite capable of depicting “natural” weather phenomena. The following rules will help with this.
- You always depict rain on a dark background, regardless of whether you draw with paints, pencils, pastels, or oils.
- Draw the rain lines parallel to each other.
- You convey bright drops through the pressure of an eraser, a candle, different colors or a special bristled fan brush.
If you need to depict rain as a natural phenomenon, then draw a landscape, and after some time apply drops of light paint on top of it with continuous inclined strokes. If you make drops with an eraser, first draw directions with the wide side, and then with a sharp corner, using strong pressure, create a highlight of the drops.
You depict people in the pouring rain in a similar way. But attention is paid not only to the direction of the rain, the shape of the drops, but also to puddles and the force of the splashes. This is taught to preschoolers in individual drawing lessons.
Drawing autumn
October is the month of autumn competitions. The teacher needs to consolidate the weather properties with the children through drawing (“Autumn”). The older group compares all the autumn months, finds similarities and differences, and remembers color transitions. The simplest task is when children depict a lonely tree. To do this, first determine its location and mark the trunk and branches with a “slingshot”.
Then small ticks are also schematically applied on the branches. Using paint, the thickness of the trunk and branches is “increased”. On top of the branches, foliage is depicted in different colors (red, orange, yellow). Now all that remains is to draw the lawn, sky, clouds, sun and shadow from the tree.
Autumn can be depicted by drawing leaf fall. Here children consolidate their knowledge about trees. The easiest option is to depict autumn with prints (this method is most preferred by the older group).
Drawing: theme "Autumn"
You can draw tree trunks with branches, and put leaf dots with your fingers. Preschoolers of any age also enjoy this. For the competition, many children, showing their imagination, draw an image of autumn with a woman’s face and leaves instead of hair. This consolidates knowledge about the proportions of the human face, leaves, trees and the color scheme of autumn.
