All about plasticineography

Classes of plasticine are popular with both children and their parents. This is a great way not only to have a good time, but also to relieve stress. Children of any age can engage in plasticinography.

Plasticine is, in fact, the process of drawing with plasticine... In the course of work, the child can create any pictures from this material. You can "draw" them on thick cardboard or sheets of paper.

This hobby helps you relax and focus on creating beautiful work. Plasticinography can be done by children aged 2 to 8-10 years. With age, the paintings will turn out to be more complex and interesting.

Unusual plasticine painting performs several functions at once.

1. Develops cognitive abilities... Plasticinography helps to develop the attentiveness of babies, as well as their creative thinking.
2. Improves sensory motor skills. Working with plasticine, the child develops the strength of the hands. His movements become clearer. In the future, it will be easier for him to learn how to work with other small details, as well as learn to write.
3. Develops imagination and aesthetic ideas. In the process of sculpting, the child gains knowledge about the combination of different colors. In addition, he learns to create something new from available tools. This allows you to look at the world around you in a new way.

In addition, carried away by the creation of works from plasticine, the child becomes more diligent.

To practice plasticineography, you will need a minimum number of tools.

• The foundation... As a base, you can use cardboard or thick paper. Blanks with printed patterns are also suitable. The base must be firm. Otherwise, the edges of the finished painting will bend under the weight of the plasticine. Instead of cardboard, it is quite possible to use plastic or plexiglass.

• Plasticine set. To create drawings on paper, you should use soft plasticine. It is much easier to knead and spread over the paper base. The choice of colors used in the work depends only on the wishes of the child.

• Plank and stacks. They are needed in order to cut individual flat parts from plasticine.

• Stencils... You can simplify the process of creating paintings using ready-made stencils.

• Rolling pins... Special small rolling pins are used to roll out plasticine in an even thin layer.

• Syringe... A regular syringe without a needle is useful for creating thin, even stripes.

• Napkins... Wet wipes or an antiseptic agent will be needed to cleanse the palms of plasticine residues.

You can also use colored rhinestones, small beads or seed beads to decorate finished works. Particularly beautiful paintings can be preserved by covering them with 2-3 coats of colorless varnish. This should be done by an adult.

There are several basic plasticine painting techniques.

This is one of the easiest ways to create a painting from soft plasticine. Images are "drawn" on the surface of the paper with volumetric strokes. To do this, knead soft plasticine in your hands, and then gently smear it on the glass. The drawing looks like it was created with paints. Any work can be done in this technique.

This type of creativity can be done by children aged from 3 years old.

This technique is also called stained glass. For work, transparent plastic or glass is usually used. The picture is drawn on the back of the base. Do this in the same way as in the previous case. Such a scheme for creating plasticine drawings captivates many children aged 4-6 years.

This scheme of work assumes the use of different elements. The drawing consists of plasticine rollers, discs and balls. This method of work is more complicated than the previous ones. Therefore, it is suitable for children who have been working with plasticine for a long time.

To create patterns in the mosaic technique, blanks in the form of small plasticine balls are used. Such colored parts are placed in the right places. After that, each lump needs to be slightly flattened. The process of creating a painting takes a lot of time, but the result of the work always looks beautiful.

This technique is considered difficult, because it requires concentration and perseverance from the child. The essence of the work lies in the preparation of flagella and drawing pictures with their help. The inner space of the contour can also be filled with thin sausages.

It is when creating such pictures that syringes are used. This allows you to speed up your work. The syringe is filled with soft crushed plasticine. After that, it is placed in a container with hot water. There, the plasticine will completely soften. After a couple of minutes, thin strips can be squeezed out of the syringe.

This technique allows you to create spectacular volumetric work.... In this case, plasticine parts are applied to the paper in several layers. The joints of the individual parts are neatly smoothed out. This makes all transitions look natural. A panel made in this technique can be used to decorate a nursery.

This technique also looks pretty interesting. Plasticine is applied to the work surface with a thin layer. It is smoothed out, leveling the base of the future drawing. After that, with the help of a stack, a roller or small stamps, patterns are depicted in the picture.

For those who are just learning to create beautiful paintings from plasticine, ready-made master classes will help, which can be used as a source of inspiration.

• Autumn picture. To create this work on the autumn theme, not only plasticine is used, but also buckwheat. First, you need to draw a base on paper. After that, it is necessary to form the figure of a hedgehog from colored plasticine. Next, it is worth decorating the picture with additional details. In the background, you can depict a maple or oak leaf, a rowan branch or mushrooms. The image of an amanita or an apple will add brightness to the picture. When the base is ready, you can start attaching the groats to the drawing. Small grains are gently pressed into the base, but at the same time they are not buried too much in the plasticine. You can decorate such works not only with buckwheat, but also with other cereals or scrap materials.

• Small fish... This drawing is made using mosaic technique. To create a work on cardboard, you need to draw the outline of the figure. After that, all the free space is filled with colored details. They are arranged in no particular order. The figure of the fish can be placed in an aquarium or depicted against the background of the sea.

• The Dragon... It will be easier for an older child to make such a relief painting with your own hands. The work uses a blank with a printed image of a dragon. To begin with, the contours of the drawing are emphasized with thin green flagella. After that, the wings are filled with red balls. Complement the image with green scales and purple thorns. The drawing is very beautiful. If desired, you can depict a butterfly or some plants in the background.

• Flowers... A beautiful plasticine card with flowers can be used as a gift for mom, grandmother or beloved teacher. Rosebuds are made from thin flagella twisted into a spiral. They are located at the top of the picture. Thin stems and voluminous sheets with patterns applied to them are attached to them. The finished flowers look like small umbrellas.

• Space... A child with a passion for space themed will love the idea of ​​creating a space painting. To create it, a dark blue base is used. It can depict a model of a rocket, constellation, stars and even aliens.

• Landscape... This pattern consists of many thin flagella. They are located tightly to each other, so the pattern appears to be solid. In the same technique, you can depict vegetables or fruits against the background of trees and bushes.

Using the proposed ideas and their imagination, parents can captivate the child for a long time by creating volumetric drawings from plasticine.
