How good to be able to ... No, do not read, although it is also absolutely necessary, but draw. Anything is subject to a person with fantasy: you can transform the most boring interior, create a vivid image, entertain the children and have fun with friends. Children cannot do without this skill, because how much creativity the most ordinary educational process requires! On history, it is necessary to recreate the amazing pictures of antiquity, on literature - to illustrate works, on physics - to reflect the processes taking place in the world. Geography also requires considerable effort, where you need to fill out contour maps, depict landscapes, as well as inhabitants of natural zones ... And, say, amateur performances: posters, scenery! And whether you are putting “The Queen of Spades” or “Dowry” or are you drawing a poster for the Day of Russia, you will definitely need to know how to draw cards, whether it’s a terrain scheme or a playing deck. This will be discussed today.
Own deck
Imagine that in the company you wanted to play cards: "Mafia", "Fool" or something else. But the cards themselves are not at hand. How to draw playing cards? In five minutes, you are unlikely to learn this. However, you can cut the same pieces of paper yourself and sign them, especially if you play the “Mafia”, where you only need to indicate the roles. You can prepare and create your deck, where the "role" will go to your friends or some public people. Of course, this is best done on a computer. Try to choose the most fun shots.
Versatile world
It happens that you need to draw an entire planet, but you do not know how to draw a world map correctly. You can use the good old tracing-paper. But if geographical accuracy is of no use to us, and there is no printed copy, then approach this creatively. First, determine what geometric shapes continents or countries look like if you need individual states. Then draw, say, a circle for Antarctica or a triangle for South America. And then “carve” the correct contours of the continents. Or, conversely, draw the necessary lines. If you are not limited to one figure, then create a mainland or a country from circles. Then combine them in one line and refine the shape. How to colorize our map? Try to choose a geometric ornament. Or color each country with the colors of its flag or what it is famous for. Such methods are not bad for travelers.
Broad my native country
Do you know how to draw a map of Russia in an original way? After all, one cannot argue with geography - you will not add anything, you will not take it from the territory of the state. You can use the method described above and carve outlines of the country from approximate forms. But this is only a silhouette. Here, of course, it is easier to copy from the map. But is it so interesting? And it will not reflect the whole Russian soul. Try the following method. If you don’t know how to draw maps accurately, or if you didn’t manage to draw a silhouette, print it on a printer. If you want, then leave the borders of the regions, we may need them. Then color the parts of the country as they are associated with you, for example, Kamchatka - fish and caviar, Sochi - the sea or the Olympics, mark the taiga, diamonds, Cossacks, the Kremlin, bridges, mountains, rivers ... There’s enough imagination.
Urban jungle
Even if you know your city like your own five fingers, then you still have the same question in the evenings: “Where to go in the evening?” After all, everything is already native and familiar, but here there is nothing to open. A great reason to walk around the city is to make a map of your native jungle. You can compete with friends in who will find more interesting places. For example, one coffee shop serves delicious cakes. And in that store there are always promotions. And there lives a real writer. You will see how the village will change in your eyes! You can draw this map both on a ready-made diagram of the city, and draw it yourself. It's not as difficult as drawing maps of a metropolis if your town is small. You can create a thematic scheme: the most fun people, the kindest sellers, the most interesting holidays.
