Methods for sculpting a bee from plasticine
Modeling a bee from plasticine is a very exciting process. Parents and educators need to know exactly how to make a bee with a bump for children step by step. Additionally, it is worth studying a master class on sculpting a cheerful bee and how to mold Maya with your own hands in stages.
Simple option for toddlers
Sculpting for children is very attractive and allows you to develop fine motor skills. Of course, You can also sculpt the Hulk or another hero of popular films, but it is more correct to start with simpler options.
A 3-4 year old kid can mold many things and animals with his own hands. A very good offer - making the simplest bee.
To work you need plasticine:
- black;
- white;
- brown;
- orange color.
The wings should be white. If a suitable white plasticine is not available, it is a good substitute for a gray or blue sculpting product. But to abandon orange in favor of yellow is unreasonable, otherwise it will turn out, rather, a wasp. A standard master class includes:
- a roll of 3 orange balls (each smaller than the previous one);
- deformation of these blanks in the manner of a drop;
- getting the head, body and tail;
- fasteners for large black eyes and antennae;
- application of narrow brown stripes on the tail;
- giving the middle segment furry (it is simply pierced with a stack many times);
- fastening thin wire legs (it is better to paint them with black dye);
- stretching a pair of white balls to a "drip" state and applying a webbed pattern.
It is even easier to make a bee with a spruce cone. Sequence of steps:
- get 4 blue wings;
- sculpt 3 yellow 5 cm strips;
- prepare the mouth and horns (both parts will be black);
- fix the strips and wings on the body;
- put eyes-balls;
- install the horns and mouth.
How to make a funny bee?
In this case, the technology is only slightly more difficult. For work, you will additionally need a plank. They start by sculpting a black-orange bee body from plasticine. Having installed paws reminiscent of sausages on it, they are thinking along the way a face with a mustache, which will look ridiculous. Additional comic effect is often created with:
- flowers;
- beads;
- original hats.
Maya the bee sculpting
This cartoon character is quite capable of children 5-6 years old. To work, you need orange plasticine with fluorescent properties. 2 medium-sized balls are prepared from it. 3 more of the same balls are made from black material. Then all the balls are joined to form the body of the winged Maya. Different colors should alternate.
A large orange ball is turned into a flat shape on one side. So the head will appear. The opposite part of the insect is prepared from a medium-sized ball, and here you also need to flatten the structure. The nose is shaped like a tourniquet that resembles a cone. Then:
- with the help of a stack, draw the mouth and eyes;
- form 6 small black cones;
- the tops of these cones are cut off, thereby obtaining paws;
- prepare 4 balls and transform them into drop-like wings.
An alternative way to form the Maya bee:
- preparation of orange blanks for the body and head;
- squeezing the ball intended for the head from behind;
- connecting these parts with a match or toothpick;
- fixing eyes;
- preparation of hairstyles from yellow "hair";
- drawing a laughing mouth and wrinkles;
- installation of the nose;
- attachment to the lower body of longitudinal brown strips (they are rolled out in advance with your fingers);
- sculpting of rounded cakes (wings are gradually formed from them);
- preparation of tubes, which, after bending or cutting with a stack, will become paws;
- assembling the structure so that Maya can wiggle her limbs;
- installation of black antennae with a bend.
