Plasticinography on the theme "Autumn"
Working with plasticine develops fine motor skills, correct color perception, perseverance and imagination in a small child. One of the options for modeling can be plasticine painting on an autumn theme.
Peculiarities
The term "plasticine" means the creation of paintings from plasticine with semi-volumetric objects on a horizontal surface, usually on cardboard or hardboard base. One of the most common themes of such plasticine drawings is "Autumn". The creation of a creative object takes place using various sculpting techniques. The required shades are obtained by mixing several varieties of plasticine. It is quite possible to do even with bars of three colors: yellow, blue and red.
Green comes from yellow and blue material, orange comes from red and yellow, and purple comes from blue and red. Adding white allows any bright shade to be dimmed. When choosing shades, it is important to remember that it is not allowed to mix more than two colors at a time.
It is possible to make the plasticine application shiny if you periodically wet your fingers with water during work.
The material is rolled out between the palms or pressed against the board with one hand. You can also roll a ball out of a piece, and then, by pulling back, get elongated shapes. Depressions on the surface appear from the indentation of fingers or various objects: toothpicks, tubes, coins. A syringe with the needle removed is suitable for creating stalks or blades of grass, and even pastry syringes are used for larger strips.
The work must be done on a solid foundation.First, the selected drawing is transferred to the base, and then its contours are filled with plasticine heated with fingers. Excess mass is removed with a stack.
Application for the little ones
Being engaged in the creation of plasticine panels together with children who are only 3-4 years old, you must first master the basics of modeling, and only after that proceed to the development of simple figures. For example, it can be a composition of colorful leaves. To draw with plasticine, you will need the main material of harmonious shades: brown-red, yellow, green and orange, thick cardboard, as well as a spatula and a stackmade of plastic or wood. It will be more convenient to sculpt on a special flexible backing. Walking with the child, you should pick up a few of the leaves of a relatively simple shape that you like, which will become a model for the composition.
The work begins with the fact that small balls are formed from substances of different colors. If desired, you can create new shades by mixing red with yellow or yellow with green. Further, the peas are flattened, they are given the appearance of leaves by sharpening the upper edge. At the next stage, first the central one is drawn, and then the side veins (we use a stack). The spatula is used to form teeth at the edges. Finished elements are fixed on cardboard.
Better to alternate colors and place them with the pointed side towards the top edge. This composition is supplemented with acorns or rowan berries.
A hedgehog made of plasticine and seeds looks interesting. For creativity, you should pick up sunflower and watermelon seeds, sheets of white, as well as pale yellow paper, a few dried leaves and a sticky mass of chocolate, black and light gray tones. From the tools, a handy spatula with a stack will come in handy, as well as a sculpting substrate. It all starts with the outlines of the animal being drawn on a snow-white sheet according to a template. The resulting figurine is cut out and glued onto a colored background so that its borders are clearly visible.
A piece of gray plasticine is thoroughly crushed, flattened and used to fill the head and abdomen areas. Brownish plasticine is prepared in a similar way and is used to fill the back area. To simplify the work, plasticine is allowed to be used only for the little body of the animal. The muzzle is left white and colored with pencils or felt-tip pens. The spines of an animal are formed from seeds, the pointed part of which is immersed in plasticine and slightly pressed. Three tiny beads for the hedgehog's nose and eyes roll down from black plasticine. They are glued to the face, and then a mouth is drawn on it with the help of a stack.
The finished composition is optionally decorated with dry leaves, as well as berries and mushrooms molded from plasticine.
Together with their parents, a small child can create an autumn rowan branch. In addition to multi-colored plasticine, you will need a sheet of colored cardboard, a pencil with scissors, a modeling support and wooden tools for work. First, a branch of an autumn tree is drawn on the cardboard. From plasticine of red and terracotta colors, miniature peas are rolled down to form berries.
Yellow and green shades, or a mixture of them, are used to obtain larger balls that can be crushed and transformed into leaves. Brown will be required for sculpting graceful laces - the basis for a branch. The blanks are glued to the drawing one by one. Further, by pressing the stacks, the irregularities of the bark are indicated, the leaves are covered with veins, and the berries are covered with cruciform marks.
Options for children 5-7 years old
With children aged 5, 6 and 7 years old, you can create more complex crafts with your own hands, step by step following the instructions of the master classes.
Landscape
An autumn forest made using the plasticine technique is suitable as a creative project for a school or kindergarten. In addition to a sheet of thick paper, you will also need a watercolor set, a simple pencil and plasticine blocks of several colors. The molding itself is carried out on a special board, and small parts are processed with a stack and a spatula. First, the surface of the sheet must be painted with blue watercolors diluted in liquid. Above, it is also worth depicting clouds, slightly shading the background with a damp cotton pad.
Next, on a piece of paper, you have to draw several trees with a lush crown. Preschoolers are encouraged to do this according to a template. Pieces of brown, green, red, orange and yellow are cut into strips, each of which is then rolled into a thin rope. The resulting flagellum should be cut into pieces, and then rolled up each with a spiral. Further, brown blanks are used to decorate the trunk, green ones - for the root zone, and the rest are used for coloring the crown.
The material is lightly pressed with a spatula to the surface, and the necessary relief is drawn on it with a stack.
Autumn leaf
A beautiful work on the autumn theme will turn out if you take the image of an oak leaf as a basis. The basis for the composition is made of light blue thick colored cardboard. In addition, bars of multi-colored plasticine, pencils with markers, plastic tools and a flexible board are used. It all starts with the fact that an oak branch with several leaves and acorns is drawn on the cardboard. White plasticine is kneaded with warm hands and rolled into 3-4 small cylinders. Having flattened them and stretched them on cardboard, it remains only to cut the blanks in a stack to give them the shape of clouds.
Step by step, with the help of brown and gray-green plasticine, the contours of the branch, leaves and acorns are filled. Pieces of material are pre-rolled into small balls. It is important that there is a layer on the paper that is required for the volumetric effect, but not excessively dense. The contours of the elements are indicated by the action of a spatula and a stack, and the veins of the sheets are emphasized with a felt-tip pen.
Additionally, you can make a pattern on the caps of acorns and the bark of a branch.
Bouquet
To create a bouquet using the plasticine technique, you will need all the same materials: thick paper, plasticine, a pencil and tools. A couple of real sheets of paper will also come in handy. A vase is drawn at the bottom of the sheet according to the template. Several types of sheets are prepared from plasticine. For example, you can connect two pieces of different colors, flatten them on top of each other and roll them into a roll. Having cut this blank lengthwise and forming strips, it remains to connect the parts together and create a patterned cake. When you put a real viburnum leaf on it and use a stack, you get a plasticine blank with veins of the required shape.
Other sheet plates are formed on the basis of three different-sized plasticine balls of red, yellow and green shades. Having wrapped them one into the other so that the smallest is in the center, the workpiece will need to be cut in half and flattened. A maple leaf is applied to the plasticine cake as a template, and the excess mass is removed using a stack.
Having prepared the required number of sheet plates, it remains to grind the material of the required shade along the contour of the vase and form a bouquet on the paper surface.
Birch
Together with the children, it is quite easy to create a plasticine picture depicting a birch forest. The trunk of the tree is formed with a piece of white color, and the spots on it are pressed through with a small object. Yellow leaves are glued around the branches and next to them on the ground. Rubbing plasticine of different shades, it will be possible to get several species of animals, plant a Christmas tree next to it and place a flock of flying birds and clouds over the trees.
The number of elements of the composition is determined depending on how difficult it will be for the child to create them.
Gifts of autumn
As a gift to close relatives, a child can make a composition depicting a basket with gifts of the autumn season. With the help of a stack of plasticine cakes, it is possible to make a pumpkin, a carrot with tops of thin flagella, an apple with a pear, turnips, beets and other vegetables and fruits.
Flowers
Plasticine flowers will decorate any composition on paper. The easiest way is to create an aster: for it, very thin flagella roll down from a small fragment, which are then cut into three-centimeter pieces. Having rolled a ball of material of the same color, it will be necessary to fasten harnesses in several layers in a circle on it. When fixed on cardboard, the structure will have to be slightly flattened. Another flower is formed from a pair of plasticine cakes of different diameters.
According to the template, flowers are cut out of them in a stack, after which the smaller one is superimposed on the larger one. The middle is formed from a yellow ball pierced several times with a simple pencil. The third bud is also formed from three cakes. All of them are cut in the likeness of the sun, forming rays, freed from excess mass and superimposed on one another.
In a large and small workpiece, the ends of the petals will have to be sharpened, and in the middle one - twisted inward. The middle is formed by a plasticine ball of any color.
Other
Autumn work in the technique of plasticinography can take on any appearance. The composition is most often a variety of landscapes with variations of trees, weather conditions and living creatures. Images of gifts of nature and a ripe harvest are popular, for example, a bunch of grapes on a round substrate, a couple of mushrooms in a meadow or a juicy pumpkin. It will be interesting to look at images of a caterpillar crawling out of an apple or a "live" umbrella with eyes, standing in the rain.
