Master class materials and tools pedagogical experience Cosmonautics Day space collages paper magazine paper cardboard. Space adventures: applications and collages
Applications and collages on a space theme can be made with children not only before Cosmonautics Day. Space adventures are something that interests children of different ages at different times of the year, regardless of when Gagarin visited space. Perhaps, after reading a book or watching a movie about space, your young creators will want to throw out their emotions, or maybe you want to make a postcard or birthday invitation in a space theme. Our ideas will help you!

Many animals have been in space: guinea pigs, cats, parrots, turtles, mice, monkeys, etc. The most famous, of course, are the dogs Belka and Strelka (1960). But did you know that before them, a dog named Laika was in space (1957)? For some reason they undeservedly forgot about her...

If everyone who wants to fly into space does not fit into one rocket, you need to launch several at once! Let everyone be different: each with their own, individual size and design.

If faces look out the rocket windows, it will be clear who flew into space. The Universe is infinite, so the format of a large sheet of Whatman paper is perfect for such an application.

The smallest astronauts can be offered a dark background, a mass of stars cut out using special shaped hole punches, and a simple-shaped rocket. It is more convenient to glue with a glue stick, and not to smear the workpieces themselves, but to the places where they need to be glued.

The cosmodrome is the place from where rockets are launched into space. You can make such a group craft from paper and cardboard even with kids. An adult will help with the book-shaped base with rocket stands, and the children will make the applique.

You can fantasize about aliens from outer space as much as you like. Here, for example, are the original postcards. Volume is achieved by folding in the right places. It is more convenient to cut out such an image with a breadboard knife (this is a job for adults!).

Bears, dogs and other creatures live in space - in the form of constellations. Making a star card is easy. Cut out a blank from thick cardboard, paint it with dark blue gouache, and after drying, spray it with white paint (it’s convenient to use an old toothbrush for this).
We are waiting for your space applications and collages. Share your tips and secrets!
"Space collage" using soap bubbles
It's so cool in space
It's so cool in space!
Stars and planets
In black weightlessness
Slowly swimming!
It's so cool in space!
Sharp missiles
At great speed
They rush here and there!

Our 1A class enjoyed learning about soap bubbles. Then the “Magic Bubbles” holiday was held in the class, we read poems about their beauty, the poems were all different and funny. And in the “Young Artist” club class we learned how to draw using soap bubbles.
I want to show you a master class on making poster for Cosmonautics Day.
This is "Space Collage" using soap bubbles.
On one spring day 53 years ago, an unusual event at that time took place: on April 12, 1961, Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin made the first flight into space in the history of the Earth on the Vostok spacecraft. Since then, every year on April 12, our country celebrates Cosmonautics Day. This is a holiday of cosmonauts, scientists, engineers, workers who invent and make rockets, spaceships and satellites.
We live on our planet
In such an amazing age.
And the first of the first in the rocket
Soviet man flies.
Not for military intelligence purposes
On a super-fast ship
He flies alone in the Universe
To return to the Earth again.
Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin - the first cosmonaut of planet Earth.
Yuri Alekseevich was born in the Smolensk region, in the city of Gzhatsk, now this city is named after the hero - Gagarin.
As a child, Yura loved to play ball, hide and seek, and climb trees. But Yura’s carefree childhood suddenly ended: the Great Patriotic War began.
After the war, Yura went to school. It was difficult to study: there were not enough textbooks, notebooks were made from old newspapers, and it was very cold at school. Yura graduated from school with straight A's and went to study at a technical school. Here he attended a flying club, where he learned to fly airplanes and parachute.
Yuri Gagarin's first flight lasted 108 minutes, less than 2 hours. Nowadays, astronauts spend quite a long time in space.
Target: production of a poster dedicated to the holiday “Cosmonautics Day”.
From the dictionary Ozhegova we learned that “collage” is a texture of a different color on some base of materials; or executed in a manner.
For work we need
:
- colored cardboard – black or purple;- white or colored(pale)leaves;- paints;- scissors;- brush;- food dyes of bright colors;- disposable cups;- straws;- dishwashing liquid;- glue;
Napkins;
1. To start Let's prepare black or dark purple cardboard. This will be our space, sky.
2. Place the glasses on napkins.
Let's dissolve the dyes in them. Add dishwashing liquid and stir well. The glass should remain 2/3 empty.
3. Move the straw from side to side to create more bubbles. Now blow into the straw until bubbles rise.
4. Place a sheet of paper on the bubbles and press lightly.
To get an image, you cannot pull the sheet to the side, but quickly lift it. Let the paper dry. Use paints of different colors. Try to put several multi-colored prints on top of each other.
5. Cut out circles of different sizes from the dried bubble prints - these will be the planets.
6. Let's stick the planets on the sky. You can stick on painted and cut out aliens and spaceships. Let's glue them too and our collage will come to life.
7. Let's put a lot of white dots between the planets. Let's draw a couple of comets. You can decorate your work with decorative elements: beads, rhinestones.
Our “Space Collage” is ready.
At the end of the lesson we organized an exhibition of our works.
This craft can take part in any competition dedicated to Cosmonautics Day.
I also tried using regular paints for the bubbles, but with them the image is not so clear.
I tried taking bubbles with a spoon and placing them on a sheet of paper. When the bubbles dry, an interesting pattern is also obtained.
A starry sky can be made by splashing white and yellow paints on black (dark purple) paper. But we need to do this before we start gluing the planets.
Using colored soap bubbles, I came up with other interesting works: Caterpillar. Butterfly. Tulips. They can be found in the application.
We really enjoyed making the collage.
Application
Space collage. 1A class
I came up with other interesting projects using colored soap bubbles.
Goal: to show the possibilities of using waste material for making “Space Collages” postcards
Age: 5-12 years (I conducted MK for different age groups, some kids worked in pairs with their mothers)
Postcard theme: space
It is in winter that many purchases and gifts are packed in blue-blue paper. Example: thin sheets placed in a bag with a dryer and a set of bed linen. The colors are very cosmic! We cut out pieces of paper without text that we will use to make cards
And in glossy magazines on many pages there are backgrounds and dresses in corresponding colors: blue, light blue, black, silver. We cut it out too.
A set of paper for several postcards is already ready!
Tip 1.
For inspiration, children need to be shown real space photographs. There are a lot of them on the Internet; choosing the most interesting ones will not be difficult. Then invite the children to admire the works of famous cosmist artists:
- firstly, the works of Andrei Konstantinovich Sokolov (he was the first in the world to draw fantastic space paintings),
- secondly, the works of cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, who not only became the first person in the world to go into outer space, but also the first artist to draw space from life,
- thirdly, the works of Sergei Krainev, whose works are very popular and are widely represented on various sites.
Any search engine for these names will return a lot of interesting facts about the artists themselves and photographs of all their works.
Tip 2.
Then have the children create a rocket that they will each send into space. Here you can use both origami techniques and applique. I propose to fold the rocket.
To fold the rocket, prepare 4 squares: 1 with sides 10 cm, 3 with sides 2 cm.
Using all four squares, form a basic kite shape. To do this, bend each square diagonally and straighten it.
Then bend the two bottom sides to the intended diagonal.
We put three small workpieces aside and continue to work only with the largest workpiece.
Fold the bottom sides diagonally again.
The figurine is getting narrower
Then fold the top corner. (for preschoolers you can limit yourself to this stage and skip the next stage)
Bend the left and right upper corners of the figure so that the corners of the resulting figure become straight.
When we fold it out of thin cardboard, it doesn’t want to “lie” :)
Turn all four figures over to the other side.
Glue two small “kites” on the right and left to the bottom of the rocket, placing them under the rocket,
And the third is on top of the bottom of the rocket.
The rocket is ready! Add a couple of emoticons. These will be astronauts and passengers
Tip 3.
Since the lesson is dedicated to space, then the physical education session should be cosmic.
I came up with something like this:
We boarded the rockets together,
They quickly flew into space.
There are a lot of beauties around!
The earth in the distance became like a dot.
Went into space - weightless,
Everything is completely different from home!
We'll be back soon,
So that we don't get bored without friends! (Gaidaenko E.)
Text describing the exercises:
We quickly got into the rockets (children make movements with their hands, imitating running in place)
They flew into space together. (children raise their arms above their heads and join their palms to form a cone above their heads)
There are a lot of beauties around! (children spread their arms to the sides)
The earth in the distance has become like a dot. (children connect the index and thumb of each hand, and then join their hands together. Connecting four fingers (index and thumbs of the left and right hands shows how small the planet appears)
Went into space - weightless,
Everything is completely different from home! (While these two lines are being heard, children perform slow voluntary movements, imitating movement in zero gravity)
Let's come back quickly (children perform a circular motion with their left and right hands)
So that we don't get bored without friends! (children raise their index finger)
Tip 4.
Now invite the children to create the outer space that the astronauts and their rocket passengers saw during their imaginary space journey.
To do this, stick paper scraps of selected shades onto a cardboard base in random order.
Note: At this stage, elementary school students can give the scraps smooth curves, and older preschoolers use scraps with sharp corners; for younger preschoolers, a broken applique is suitable.
Of course, do not forget about safety precautions when working with scissors.

On April 12, Cosmonautics Day, the guys and I felt involved in a holiday that was celebrated by the whole country. We “flyed” on a spaceship, drew beautiful stars, and ate space candies. And another interesting work of this day is the collage “Young Space Conquerors”.
Goal of the work.
Creating a collage on a space theme.
Tasks.
Give children basic knowledge about space.
Expand children's horizons.
Continue to teach children to use glue and do the work carefully.
Cultivate friendly relationships.
Material.
Blue Whatman paper, glue stick, pictures of spacesuits, photos of children's faces, yellow holographic paper, scissors.
Description of work.
The teacher pastes pictures of spacesuits with children's faces onto blue Whatman paper. Children glue the stars cut out in advance by the teacher.
As a result, we got a wonderful collage, which the children looked at with great interest after finishing the work, recognizing themselves in the astronauts, and how nice it was to feel like a real astronaut.

In this tutorial I will show you how to create a space collage with planets and galaxy. You will become proficient at arranging and manipulating elements together, and will be able to use this skill in your future work. You'll also learn how to create lighting, work with groups, use brushes, masks, and much more.
Create a new document and fill it with white. I created a document that is wide enough and the height is smaller. Create a new layer and press G to activate the Gradient Tool. Select a Radial Gradient with colors #000a18 and #53657d:
Open the image of the planet. Hide the black background and press Ctrl + Shift + Alt to merge all transparent layers. We will have the following result:
Use the Move Tool and drag the planet into our document. Place it down.
Duplicate this planet twice, resize making them smaller and change their positions as shown below:
Name the larger planet "Planet 1" and the smaller ones "Planet 2" and "Planet 3". On the layer with planet 2, go to Filter – Blur – Gaussian Blur (Filter-Blur-Gassian Blur), radius 2 px.
Select planet 3 layer and press Ctrl+F to repeat the previous step.
Create a layer group and place all the planets there. Press Ctrl+G since I want to edit them together. Change the group mode to Normal, 100%.
Now I'm using adjustment layers to change the color of these planets. On the planet 1 layer, go to Layer-New Adjustment Layer-Color Balance:
Since the group mode is changed to normal 100%, Adjustment Layers only affect layers within that group.
I want to increase the contrast of planet 1, so I make a new layer with Clipping Mask– with a clipping mask and use a linear gradient (leave the default colors: black and white).
Change the blending mode to Soft Light and add a mask for this layer. Use a soft black brush to remove and reduce the dark differences in some parts of the planet.
Open the Fog image. Drag it into our document, place it under the planets group.
I copy the not very bright part of the image and place it on the right (on the second layer)
Use a layer mask to remove rough edges. Name the last two layers “Fog 1” and “Fog 2”.
Create a group for these layers like we did with the planets, also change the mode of this group to normal. Add some adjustment layers to make the color of the fog more suitable.
Color balance:
After using these layers you should have something like this:
Open the starry sky. Move it above the fog group under the planets, resize the image as shown below:
Change the mode to Screen, 50%
Duplicate this layer and move it to the right. Use a layer mask and a soft black brush to remove rough edges
Place the image of the Galaxy into our document. Place this layer on top and resize it (smaller). Place the galaxy in the center of the sky.
Change the blending mode to Screen and remove unnecessary parts using a layer mask.
Create a new layer and set the Foreground color to white. Use the Brush (galaxy one, number 1262) and paint over the areas as shown below:
Press Ctrl+T to transform the brushes in the Galaxy direction.
Add a layer mask to this layer and remove any unwanted parts with a soft black brush
Return to the Fog. Copy part of this image and place it in our document, transform it as shown below (use Ctrl+T and Warp Tool):
Use a layer mask to remove rough edges. Set the opacity of the bottom to 50%
Name this layer "Galaxy Center". Add an adjustment layer with Clipping Mask– Clipping mask for this part to create a suitable color (as in step 3).
Result:
Cut out the ship and place it in the foreground. Reduce.
Let's call this layer "Spaceship 1". Duplicate this ship three times, change their sizes and locations. Name the layers “Spaceship 2”, “Spaceship 3”, “Spaceship 4”.
Create a group for all spaceships. For spaceship 1 add a layer with Clipping Mask– with a clipping mask, use a soft black brush to paint its “bottom”, that is, darken it. Set the blending mode to Soft Light, 100%
Create a new Color Balance layer in this group to change the color of the ships
I'm aiming to make the main light source the galaxy, so that the spaceships should receive reflected light from it. I'll add light to them through an inner shadow effect. Right-click on each ship, select Blending Options:
These ships have different distances from the light source, so pay attention to the opacity of the effects
Result:
Create a new layer inside the spaceship group. Use a soft white brush to paint some light on the top of ships 2 and 3. Blend Mode Soft Light, 50%
Drag the Asteroid image into our document. Duplicate it three times, resize it, transform it. To get rid of unnecessary parts of the image, add layer masks and use a hard black brush (hardness 90-95%). Erase some asteroids.
Add an Inner Shadow for each asteroid.
Create a group for asteroids. They still look too dark, so for each of them you need to add a Brightness / Contrast layer (Brightness / Contrast), use a Clipping Mask to reduce their contrast
