Creativity for children is a reflection of the perception of the world and continuous mental work. Even the smallest of them try to express their impressions in games, stories, modeling, drawing, and other activities.
In this regard, art provides the greatest opportunities. Drawing for children is a joyful and inspirational activity, which is important to stimulate, opening up new opportunities for the child to express themselves.
However, very often the lack of skills and basic knowledge of the technique and methods of drawing with pencils and paints turns children away from this activity, because the resulting drawing as a result of their efforts seems to them unattractive, not like what they wanted to portray. Using non-traditional drawing techniques is a real opportunity to give your child an affordable and very simple way to use a variety of objects as materials for artistic creation. Work with them gives an impetus to the development of artistic imagination, the manifestation of independence.
The benefits of alternative painting
Unconventional drawing techniques stimulate positive motivation, relieve fear of this process itself and cause a joyful mood. Children gain experience by overcoming their fear of failure. In the future, they will be willing to learn traditional drawing and enjoy working with pencils, brushes and paints. In the meantime, original unconventional drawing techniques make them believe that they can do real miracles on paper.
Drawing techniques
Many types of non-standard drawing require speed and accuracy of movements and contribute to the development of fine motor skills of fingers, visual coordination. In addition, they allow you to create collectively, bring children together and develop communication skills.
The program on unconventional drawing techniques consists of many spectacular, but simple ways to obtain images using various objects and non-standard techniques. Children are very interested in drawing things that seem to be completely unfit for this: cotton buds, toothpicks, paraffin candles, stamps, etc.
With their help, each child can easily create his own little masterpiece and at the same time believe in his own strength, which means that he wants to create more and more. The main task of the teacher is not to impose on children their vision of the world, but to give them the opportunity to show initiative and creativity.
Non-traditional drawing techniques allow not to limit the creative process to conventional tools, but make it possible to use those objects that are at hand. In addition, children learn the ability to draw in such interesting ways as scratching, imprinting, monotyping, scratching, dotting, ink-blotting, palm-drawing and threading, and in many other ways. Unconventional drawing techniques will teach children to use the whole world for their artistic experiments, find inspiration and create drawings without canvas, paints and brushes.
