Plasticine perfectly develops the fine motor skills of the hands and at the same time also the child's imagination. Gradually, a new kind of decorative and applied art is gaining momentum: plasticine. Some consider this kind of activity to be close to painting. But, in any case, no matter whoever calls it and whatsoever thinks, and children's appliques and crafts made of plasticine - an excellent opportunity to take your child and attach it to the world of beauty.
How to make an applique from plasticine?
1. First, let's prepare everything you need:
- plasticine, take a soft and plastic (it will be easier to work with), and, of course, bright, to the child was more interesting;
- colored and white cardboard;
- Plastic knife for plasticine (most often they are available in the kit);
- glass (on the technique of applique from plasticine on glass we will tell below).
2. Now you need to select a story. You can invent it yourself, but you can take any picture you like. Many mothers, making with the child pictures-appliques from plasticine, come up with their own tales, thus capturing the child even more.
3. Determine the technique of work, how and on what you will create your masterpieces:
- applique from plasticine on cardboard;
- application of ball or flagellar clay;
- three-dimensional applique from plasticine;
- reverse application - application made on a smooth and transparent basis (glass or plastic, transparent covers can be used from under dairy products).
If you want, you can try to combine several techniques together.
4. When the story and materials are selected, we transfer the picture to the base. If you decide to work on glass or plastic, then for security reasons, seal the edges with adhesive tape. Another nuance of working with glass - before starting work, degrease it, just wash it with soap or a special remedy, then dry it with a tissue or paper. You can transfer the contour to the cardboard using copying paper. With transparent surfaces it's still easier: just put the original under the glass and circle the drawing with a marker.
5. Now, depending on what technique you chose, we put plasticine on the picture. All details of the drawn drawing must be filled with clay. You can just cut out the figure and put it on the picture, you can put a small piece and smear it with your finger. Interesting works are obtained from plasticine rolled up with small balls or flagellum-sausages, so you can try rolling together several colors, resulting in an unusual result.
6. Completion of the picture. If you worked on the glass, then put a sheet of colored paper on top and another glass of the same size, put it into the finished frame or make your own. If you drew on cardboard, you can just put the work in a transparent "file".
