Drawing on the theme of autumn still life. Still life with autumn leaves: three master classes for children. Examples in painting

A still life drawn with a pencil looks very beautiful and can become an adornment of almost any interior. Understanding how to draw a still life, in general, is not difficult at all. To do this, first of all, you should familiarize yourself with the works of famous painters who loved to draw a variety of still lifes. For example, in old paintings you can see not only vases, bouquets and various fruits and vegetables, but also game, various culinary delights and beautiful dishes.
Before you draw a still life, you should prepare:
1. Multi-colored pencils in a set;
2. Pencil. Perfectly suited as a well-sharpened simple and mechanical pencil;
3. Gum (a nag is also suitable);
4. A sheet of paper;
5. Liner. It is recommended to use a black liner.

Still life with autumn leaves: three step-by-step master classes for children, examples of children's work, creative tasks.

Still life with autumn leaves: three workshops for children

In this article you will find three options for such a still life with autumn leaves with preschool children in different techniques, with examples of children's creative work and step-by-step descriptions.

Preparing to make a still life with autumn leaves with children

Autumn is a wonderful time, the richest time of the year for the most beautiful bright colors of nature. If you want to get inspired and admire the colors of autumn, then take a walk in nature and collect a bouquet of fallen leaves. They will come in handy for our creative children's autumn still lifes.

Returning home, lay out the collected leaves on white paper and examine them carefully with the children. You will be convinced that you have not found two absolutely identical leaves in size, shape and color. Some leaves are elongated, long, others are round, others are carved. Pay attention to the fact that some leaves have smooth edges, others have small teeth, and others have larger teeth. But the maple leaf has a special shape. How can you describe it? Think and together with your child determine which trees you collected leaves from?

And of course, pay special attention to the fact that each leaf has its own color, that one leaf is painted in one color, and the other has different colors and shades.

List the colors of autumn with your child (you will use them in a still life). A poem will help you

Autumn long thin brush
Recolors the leaves.
Red, yellow, gold -
How good you are, colored sheet!
And the wind thick cheeks
Puffed up, puffed up, puffed up.
And on the colorful trees
Blow, blow, blow!
Red, yellow, gold...
Flew around the whole sheet of color! (I.Mikhailova)

And now we are ready to draw a still life with children. We will draw a bouquet of autumn leaves in a vase.

Still life 1: vase with autumn leaves

Materials and tools

For work we need:

- landscape sheet for drawing,

- a simple pencil;

- watercolor or gouache paints,

- brushes for drawing;

- vase templates;

— leaves of different trees and, of course, a good mood!!!

Vase patterns can be of different shapes(see photo of options). You can make a vase template yourself, any shape.

Step by step description

Step 1. Trace a vase template on a sheet of paper and attach a few leaflets you have collected to the outlined drawing. Try to make a still life composition “Bouquet of autumn leaves in a vase” out of them.

Step 2 Outline the leaves on paper. Pay attention to the direction of the veins on each circled leaflet.

Step 3 Color the vase and leaves with paints. Try to direct the brush in the direction of the veins. Leaves can be painted in one color. And it’s better to place different colors on the palette and dip the brush into several colors of paint at once, and then draw with it. Or add small spots of a different color to the painted surface and slightly blur them with water.

Try, experiment! Good luck in your work!

Here's what happened to the kids: examples of children's still lifes.

Creative task:
Draw a different shape vase template. Make up your bouquet of leaves in a vase and draw it.

Still life 2. Bouquet in a vase with prints of autumn leaves

An adult addresses the children: “Now let's dream up with you. What do you think, is it possible to draw a bouquet of collected leaves in a vase in another way? How many of you have already guessed how to do this?

And you can do it like this:

Step 1. Circle the vase according to the template and color it, as in the first version of the bouquet.

Step 2 Similarly to the first option, try to create a composition of leaves in a vase (I don’t repeat this moment, because it is described in the first version of the still life with autumn leaves).

Step 3 Then, on the selected sheet over its entire surface, apply with a brush an even layer of paint “from the wrong side”. This is necessary so that the veins are clearly printed. Try to keep a little water, otherwise the paint will simply smudge and the print will be fuzzy. You can apply paint as one color, or several autumn colors, focusing on natural colors. It is desirable to carry out this work on a separate sheet of paper or a plastic napkin.

Step 4 With the painted side, put the leaf on the landscape sheet above the glued vase and press it firmly against the paper, trying not to budge, otherwise the print will be fuzzy, smeared.

Step 5 Take the leaf by the handle and carefully remove it from the surface of the paper sheet.

Step 6 Take the next leaf, paint it in a different color and print it in a different place in the composition, but so that the cuttings of the leaves are directed into the vase.

The rest of the prints should be made in accordance with the intended composition.

The leaf can be covered not with one color, but with different ones, then the print will turn out to be two-color or multi-color.

You can reuse an already painted sheet by applying a different color of paint to it, then when mixing different paints, an unusual shade can be obtained.

In this way, it is possible to apply leaf prints of various shapes and colors over a painted vase to the desired result.

Examples of children's work:

Creative task:

1. Think about what else can be depicted with leaf prints?
2. Try painting trees with leaf prints.
3. Make an ornamental composition of leaf prints in a circle, square.

Still life 3. Still life with autumn leaves in the technique of appliqué

In this variant, fallen leaves dried under pressure can be used to make a bouquet. But only a layer of glue on them will need to be applied very carefully, because the leaves are very fragile and break easily. I tried to glue raw leaves and did this work like this.

Step 1. We make a vase. I really like covers from old notebooks for work. Here are the ones I used. I cut out the blank of the vase and glued it to the paper.

Step 2 I first laid out the leaves depicting a bouquet in a vase. Planned the composition.

Step 3 From the wrong side, I applied PVA glue to the surface of the leaves and glued them to the paper, starting to glue from the bottommost sheet. I cut off the tails on the lower leaves so that they do not create a bulge and do not slow down the process of gluing the leaves superimposed on top. It is desirable that the leaves are of different colors so that they do not merge with each other in color in the composition. The still life is ready.

Creative task:

1. Collect leaves from different trees, arrange them in old books or iron them with a hot iron. Think about what can be depicted from dried leaves using the appliqué technique?
2. Try to draw a fish from the leaves. Make a composition on the theme "Aquarium" or "Seabed".
3. What animals can be depicted using dried leaves? Picture these animals!

Good luck in your work and creative success! Until we meet again on the site "Native Path".

Margarita Akulova

An open lesson for teachers of visual activity in the art studio of a kindergarten with children of the preparatory group.

Topic:

"Autumn still life"

(in reverse graphics technique)

Tasks:

1. Continue to introduce children to one of the genres of painting - still life.

2. To acquaint with the type of fine art - graphics and "reverse" graphics.

3. Arouse in children the desire to make a still life of the proposed items, combining them with each other in color and size.

4. To consolidate the ability to convey in the drawing the characteristic features of leaves, flowers, fruits: shape, structure, size, location.

5. Continue to master the techniques of working in non-traditional techniques - drawing with an eraser (reverse graphics).

6. In the process of work, create a joyful mood in children, teach them the ability to enjoy the results of their work and the success of other children.

7. Support the manifestation of imagination, courage in presenting one's own ideas.

Lesson progress:

*Setting up for a meeting in the art studio (in a group):

Guys, our pencil friend is waiting for you in the art studio, he has prepared a lot of interesting things for you.

1.

*Children in the art studio.

Today we have many guests in the art studio, welcome them.

*In the magic window - Pencil.

Guys, we often meet with a pencil, and he became our friend.

*On Screen Pencil & Eraser

Today he came not alone, but with an elastic band. And why did he bring her, you will find out later, and now the Pencil has prepared a video riddle for you, do you want to guess it?

*Video excerpt: “If you see in the picture (still life)

Guys, you guessed what we will talk about today, and if you want, draw (about still life).

I invite you to a video exhibition where we will admire the still lifes of different artists.

* Viewing still lifes (on the TV screen).

Do you like still lifes?

What time of year are these still lifes talking about? (autumn)

What colors did the artists use to convey the gifts of autumn?

Suggested responses of children: bright, warm, golden, sunny ...

Look how bright the works are, what a variety of colors are here.

Before drawing a still life, the artist composes it.

And I also wanted to draw an autumn still life.

I kept oak branches, maple leaves, flowers. We have vases, fruits.

Guys, I'll try to make a still life, and I hope you can help me.

What is our background? (dark) Choose the vase that best suits (dark or light)

(-Dark vase, as if hidden)

* Make up a still life with the children. We admire.

*On Screen Pencil

The pencil has prepared something else for you.

It turns out that you can depict a still life using only two colors - black and white, and this type of fine art is called graphics.

Pencil wants to show you autumn still lifes made in this technique.

* Viewing autumn still lifes (on the TV screen).

**Comment, while watching:

If painting is a colorful art, then the main colors of graphics are black and white. Expressive means of graphics - line, drawing, color and shadow transitions, contrast of dark and light.

*On the screen Pencil and Eraser (an excerpt from the song Big Secret ...)

And now the pencil wants to reveal the secret why he came today with an eraser

Often, when we draw a sketch with a simple pencil, we use an eraser. But the eraser not only erases, but can also create a picture itself.

This is reverse graphics or "reverse graphics".

Look through the magic window - these are children's works in technology - reverse graphics.

* View children's work (on the TV screen).

The pencil has prepared tinted sheets for you and invites you to draw an autumn still life as a keepsake of this beautiful time of the year. Do you mind?

2.

Guys, I invite you to take places in our art workshop.

I wanted to draw such a still life in memory of autumn.

*Showing my still life.

If you liked the still life that we made together, then you can draw it.

And you can come up with and depict your own still life.

The same object can be depicted in different ways:

Dark - can be conveyed simply by contour drawing or by highlighting the contour

Light - light silhouette with veins drawn with a simple pencil

* Showing three different ways of depicting the same subject(leaf) and how small round shapes can be depicted.

* Turn on calm music

And now, to the music, you imagine your autumn still life and depict it using the technique - reverse graphics, using an eraser and a simple pencil.

Who is ready - can get to work.

*In the course of children's work I use:

Suggestive questions:

What size should the leaves be so that everyone can see them and admire them;

Can there be leaves from different trees on the same branch;

What part of the sheet can be occupied by a vase.

How can I correct the error - obscure this part;

To draw thin lines, it is better to use an eraser on a pencil, and to draw a large one - with an eraser.

Indirect instructions:

Wouldn't you like to add veins to the leaves...

Reminders:

Did you forget to draw a table or a shelf on which the still life is located?

How interesting you decorated the vase, well done;

I really liked the way you arranged the objects in your still life;

You got carved leaves, wonderful ...

* In the course of work, I offer physical education for a minute to those children who are tired:

Finger gymnastics "Autumn bouquet"

Children spread their fingers to the side and bend them to the beat of the poem, in turn, starting with the thumb:

One, two, three, four, five,

Let's collect the leaves. (All fingers are gathered into a fist.)

Oak leaves, (Pull back your little finger)

Maple leaves, (Pull back your ring finger.)

Rowan leaves, (Pull back your middle finger.)

Aspen leaves. (Pull back index finger.)

We will collect beautiful leaves together

(Put two palms together with fingers apart.)

And we’ll carry an autumn bouquet to mom!

3.

Guys, the little bell is ringing now. But as soon as a big bell sounds in our magic window, our art workshop will close, and we will invite all guests to the opening of the exhibition of autumn still lifes.

(-And those who did not have time to finish drawing a little can do it in a group, in their free time).

* At the end - place the children's work at the exhibition

Guys, today at our meeting you learned how to depict still lifes in different ways - both in color and in graphics, and in reverse graphics.

Your autumn still lifes are expressive, interesting and different.

And she helped you create this beauty - an ordinary elastic band and a simple pencil.

You were graphic artists today.

Who has a still life similar to ours? Why did you decide to draw it?

How exactly did you draw the veins. What did you use?

Which branches did you get thin, and from what tree are they?

And your leaves turned out to be alive.

You decorated the vase very beautifully, you picked up unusual patterns.

Guys, let's admire your still lifes and invite guests to join us.

So what is a still life? The first thing that comes to mind is a jug or vase, fruits, vegetables, cups, flowers, etc. In fact, a still life can contain absolutely any inanimate objects in the amount of two or more, usually small in size, lying on the surface.

In this tutorial I'll show you how to draw a flower still life (the lesson uses a wonderful photo from Galina Chi).

Step 1. When drawing any still life, the first step is to present all objects in the form of the simplest forms. In this example, the basket can be represented as a parallelogram, and the vase as a cylinder. It is very important to immediately correctly arrange objects on a sheet of paper. Please note that the items must stand on the table, and not roll off it.

Step 2. We bend the lines to get the shape of the objects we need. Add a handle to the basket.

Step 3. Draw cherries with circles and sticks, not forgetting that they overlap each other. Don't try to make them perfectly even.

Step 4. We designate flowers and their centers. At this stage, you can not draw the petals yet. We also add leaves.

Step 5. Draw the petals.

Step 6. Start hatching the drawing - add a wicker texture to the basket, hatch the cherries in a circle, leaving a large amount of highlights to make them juicier. On the right side of the vase, on top of the hatching, add a strip of highlight. We hatch flower petals and leaves from the center to the edges.
Since the light falls on the left, we add horizontal shadows to the right of the objects.

Equipment and materials: paper for drafts (any size and quality); thick paper for painting A-3, (or A-4); a simple pencil, washing, sharpener; visual aids: several well-known, simple in form, vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onions, beets), or their dummies or images; gouache at least 9 colors; jars for water; squirrel brushes (thick - for the background, medium - for objects, thin - for strokes and small details): reproductions of still lifes with vegetables (simple but compositions), negative example schemes with typical compositional errors.

Lesson objectives: consolidate the concept of vegetables, introduce the concept of "still life", consolidate the knowledge gained about the layout of the main subjects of the image, further acquaintance with the laws of composition - learn to harmoniously arrange objects on the plane of the sheet in the frontal composition, taking into account free space and format, teach drawing simple geometric shapes and to feel their connection with a real object, to acquaint them with the techniques of working with gouache, to acquaint them with the sequence of work when drawing with paints, to develop thinking, observation, attention, memory, fine motor skills of the hand.

Lesson progress

1. Organizational moment: we check the availability of materials and their readiness for work. (The paints are closed, no water is drawn in. Open the paints and draw water just before coloring!)

2. Lesson topic message. Guys, what did we draw in the last lesson? Is an apple a fruit or a vegetable? What vegetables do you know? How are they different from fruits? Today we will draw a still life with vegetables, like real artists.

The teacher shows a reproduction of a painting or a photo still life depicting vegetables.

What is still life? This is an image of non-living objects: fruits, utensils, flowers, vegetables, or all at once. We will draw vegetables. Shows which ones.

3. Workout. In order for the picture to turn out beautiful, we will first practice - on draft sheets we will try to draw the shape of different vegetables. Look guys, what shape are the potatoes? These are uneven circles or ovals. Let's draw a potato in one motion (shows on his sheet). Now try to draw it gradually, from many strokes (shows). While the guys are trying to draw on a draft, the teacher helps, reminding them that the hand is relaxed, that the pencil does not need to be pressed hard, that the line should return to the point it left.

Well done! Now, let's see what shape the carrot is. It looks like a very elongated triangle, only its corners are not sharp, but rounded. The teacher shows on his sheet, the guys are training - they draw several carrots of different sizes.

Note: for small children with a low level of training, two types of simple-shaped vegetables are enough. If the lesson is held with older children, with a higher level of knowledge, skills and ability to concentrate, then you can complicate the task: add vegetables and even introduce simple objects into the composition.

4. Work execution. The teacher distributes paper for work. To practice layout skills, a free sense of paper space, it is better to take A-3 paper for this work. The teacher draws a straight line in the middle of his sheet and, comparing with a reproduction, asks: Guys, what line did I draw? What did I draw? Then he explains that this is how the plane of the table is indicated when we draw many objects. Further, he shows how to arrange the vegetables on the table in a free order, recalling the law of the location of the main characters in the center of the picture.

Introduces several new laws: on the relationship between the horizontal arrangement of objects and the horizontal arrangement of a sheet of paper, on the effect of blocking distant objects by nearby ones. Since at this age the visual abilities of children are just being formed, they may not feel well the connection between the shape, size and relative position of objects with the free space of the sheet. The task of teaching is the gradual formation of this feeling. To this end, in the first lessons, the teacher gradually explains and shows the simplest laws of layout and then gently controls their implementation (by reminding and drawing the child's attention to mistakes) until the children learn them.

Typical mistakes in still life painting and how to overcome them:

• Objects are drawn too small - correct their size to harmonize with the free space of the sheet.
• Objects are "stuck in one pile", or strongly displaced in any direction so that in other places the sheet looks unreasonably empty - we freely and harmoniously redistribute them across the sheet, with an emphasis in the center.
• Objects are unreasonably shifted to the edges of the sheet, “fall out” of the sheet, or even cut off by the edge of the sheet - we move them to the middle so that the central visual zone is filled, and all objects are fully visible.
• In order to avoid these three typical layout errors, it is advisable to have negative examples of such erroneous compositions drawn schematically, and show them when explaining how to do it wrong.
• The contours of objects are not closed - we remove the gaps, bring the lines to the point from which they came out.
• You constantly have to remind yourself of the need to wipe out extra lines where the near object covers the far one. (This topic could be covered in a separate lesson.)

Lesson options: can pose a more complex compositional task - the arrangement of small vegetables along the periphery of a larger object in the center - a potato around a head of cabbage.

After the still life is lined up, you can draw water, open gouache and start coloring. At this stage, we note the following significant points:

The quality of paper, brushes and gouache paints - the paper should be thick, suitable for painting; gouache must be fresh, plastic, at least 9 colors; squirrel brushes, soft, several sizes for different types of work. If the quality of the drawing materials is low (thin writing paper, synthetic brushes and 6 jars of old dried gouache inherited from the grandmother), the child will experience the joy of creativity, but it is illogical to expect any aesthetic result from such activities.

Kids, as a rule, begin to color the work not from large to small details, but vice versa - not the apple itself, for example, but the tail of the apple, not the landscape behind the person, but the eyes and mouth on the person’s face, etc. This feature of children's perception needs to be rebuilt. Picturesque compositions of any content begin to paint from the background, successively moving from. increasingly large objects, to small details! In this topic, this is the background behind the table and the plane of the table. To the main "heroes" of the composition, in this case - vegetables, we go last.

Immediately, from the first painting lessons, it is important to teach the children to mix paints! To do this, the teacher invites the children to choose their favorite color for the background, then choose related colors (for example, all blue and green, or all warm ones - yellow, orange, ocher) and, mixing them in any sequence, paint over the background so that a colorful vibration is created. , the flow of one color into another, the neighborhood of different shades of one or more colors.

At the first lessons, the teacher himself shows how this is done, and then he monitors and helps the children master this pictorial rule. The same is done with the table: if it is a wooden table, all colors corresponding to the tree are selected (all warm, plus shades of green), and the texture of the tree is transmitted with separate strokes of different shades. If you plan to depict a tablecloth or napkins, we select colors based on the background and the color of vegetables, with elements of a simple pattern.

• Paint strokes, like pencil strokes, are placed in the shape of objects!
• We unobtrusively draw the attention of the guys to the presence of shadows, and make them by adding cold blue tones, or by adding black.
• If it is difficult for the guys to achieve tone and color contrast, and the objects are “mixed” and difficult to distinguish, you can and should use the technique of stroking with a dark tone with a thin brush.

5. Summary of the lesson. Children should consolidate the concept of fruits and vegetables, know what a “still life” is, know the above layout rules, the order of performing painting work, the rule of mixing colors, and learn to draw several vegetables that are simple in shape. At the end of the lesson, a general exhibition is arranged, the works are discussed. Praise should be given to all those who tried, regardless of the result.

6. Completion of the lesson: cleaning of workplaces.
