How to make the child interested in drawing?
Before introducing the child to all the nuances of the fine arts, you need to properly prepare for this, so as not to discourage the desire to draw, but, on the contrary, carry him away with this occupation for a long time. It is desirable that he had originally his workplace - a small table or desk, so you protect your apartment from spontaneous art on new wallpaper.
For the youngest children, unusual drawing techniques will do. In small fingers it is still difficult to properly hold a brush or pencil, but drawing directly with a palm or fingers will be useful and interesting to a child of this age. To do this, there are special finger paints that are safe for children's skin.
For those who want to diversify traditional home art lessons, you can try unusual drawing techniques for children. With their help, the kid will understand that not only a pencil and a felt-tip pen can draw something beautiful. To do this, any handy tools that would seem to have nothing to do with the matter will come in handy.
For children, drawing with your hands is a great entertainment. When still mum will not scold for soiled hands, and on the contrary, praise and will prompt, as it is better. From the palm prints you can create real masterpieces - outlandish birds, flowers and abstract paintings, the main thing - to show imagination.
Another way to express yourself is by drawing with a sponge, for children this is a lighter option when you need to paint large contours or draw something with uneven edges, for example, the crown of a tree or a cloud. A piece of foam should be attached with a wire or thread to a pencil or stick and dipping it in a container of paint, leaving fingerprints like stamps on a sheet of paper.
Drawing for children with paints, but not with a mite, but with other original methods causes astonishment and genuine delight. Very much it is pleasant to kids "magic кляксография" when on a paper the blob is put and the sheet is bent in half and smoothed. After the sheet is unfolded, an unusual pattern appears on the spot of the blob. Often it looks like a butterfly's wings.
Splashes from the bristles of a toothbrush or bloating of a blob from a straw for a cocktail - these and many other drawing techniques for children are quite a marvelous process. To avoid big washing and grand cleaning, the workplace should be covered with unnecessary newspapers or oilcloth, and the young painter should be dressed in an apron and armlets.
