10 simple magic techniques for children's creativity

1. Monotypia

Essence: Print paint on paper with a smooth surface. What do you need: A piece of glass or tiles, paper, watercolor, soft brushes, water. Process: We wat the glass, we apply the paint stains on it, we apply a sheet on top, gently turning and removing the glass. What happens: Very picturesque divorces that give a spacious for imagination: "Look, mom, these are clouds! And here - the forest ... But waves! "

Of course, God himself ordered then seen among the stains to complement the details. With this technology, you can make a background, and the image on it will draw a graphic, thin gel handle - when dry.

You can create targeted prints, including symmetrical: the paint is applied to one half of the sheet, then we fold it - and we get the second half of the picture!

You can print paint from different shapes - for example, with leaves or cut from cardboard templates. Then it is better to take more thick paints - gouache or acrylic.

Or pre-apply cut-cut simple stencils on a sheet - then the background will turn out colorful, and the images are white.

2. Cleaxography

Essence: From colorful beaches you can "inflate" the original shapes. What do you need: Dense paper, thick brush, gouache, beverage tubes. What happens: We drip on a sheet of paint, then through the straw blowing on it, making lines. After that, depending on what they saw, we complement the image with a pattern or applique.

In this technique, the trees are especially healthy - the branches are obtained very naturally curved.

3. Merry Points

Essence: For artists-pro it is a separate style, called "Pointelism". What do you need: Paper, gouache, palette, cotton wands. What happens: On the palette we are applied to the paint of different colors, Macham wands - and densely cover the space with color points. For convenience, we will preliminarily make a light pencil sketch.

You can draw dots with the help of brushes, but, unlike sticks, you will need to be lazy to wash. Still cool points are obtained by contours for the fabric, but they should work carefully, so as not to squeeze too much and do not make a puddle.

4. Sprinkle

Essence: That children love - so sprinkle. And do it paint much more fun, and even with meaning! What do you need: Paper, liquid paint, stencils (cut from cardboard silhouettes), old toothbrushes. What happens: We put on the leaf of our stencils - and with the help of the brush "spray" paint on the surface, then remove the cards and see the pictures. You can apply several layers - both contour images and paints.

5. Scratch

Essence: This technique is wearing an elegant French name "GRUTAZH". What do you need: Wax pencils, gouache, paper, liquid soap, candle and thin wand (for example, needker or used rod). What happens: Color the sheet with pencils, then we roll with a candle, and on top cover the layer of dark guashi, mixed with soap (so that Rovenko lay). When the paint is dry a little, scratch the drawing on it. It turns out very unusual and mysterious, especially night and space plots.

6. Candle arts

Essence: Figure magically appears - white lines over a color background. What do you need: Paper, candle, watercolor paints and a wide brush. What happens: We draw on paper contours of some objects or creatures with a candle, like a felt-tip pen. Then cover the sheet of watercolor. Since the paint flows from the paraffin or wax, the contours drawn them remain white or into the dope.

7. Mosaic of paper

Essence: Ancient artists so decorated temples and palaces, and we can do so at home. What do you need: Tight paper sheet, adhesive pencil, colored paper, scissors. What happens: Color paper cut into stripes, and then on small squares. The contour of the pattern make a simple pencil, gently cover the sheet with glue and sculpt the mosaic on it. It turns beautiful when a slightly appearing background is dark.

8. And drawing, and applique

Essence: An excellent idea for a joint family project: Mom paints exactly, the child gladly paint and glue. What do you need: Sheet-based base, paper for details, paints or markers, copied (it can be done by himself, thickly curing paper with soft pencil or coal), scissors and glue. What happens: The senior artist draws on the basis of the overall drawing "in the conditional style", and on the other sheet we translate its individual details - simple and geometric, like circles and semicircles. The child paints the details of the desired flowers, cuts out and glue on the pattern, collecting a picture-puzzle.

9. Fluffy applique

Essence: The picture is obtained volumetric and soft. What do you need: Dense paper, PVA glue, remnants of colored yarn. What happens: Threads cut scissors into small pieces. On the pencil circuit, we smear the places for one color with glue, carefully embroider the filament trimming of the uniform layer and slightly applied with your finger.

10. Frislayt: Light drawing

Essence: Magic "glowing" drawings are burning on a dark background. What do you need: Camera with an exposure setup function and flashlight. What happens: In the dark room, you put on the stable surface of the camera with a long exposure installed on it (10-15 seconds). The child lights a flashlight, you look at it sharpness and press the descent. The light armchair "draws" a lantern line in the air until the camera does "click". Then consider: what does it seem? You can draw abstractions or try to carry out the contours of simple items.
