Reading time: 3 minutes

Almost without exception, children love to draw, but many parents, because of their own laziness and excuses like “get dirty on their own and smear everything around”, “I can’t draw to show an example of how to do it”, “it’s too small, it’s still full these paints ”do not give the kids brushes and paints, which is a pity ... We hope that our marathon of children's drawings on the autumn theme will inspire everyone, without exception, to be creative. There is plenty to choose from, dear Creators!

We tried to collect for you the most ideas for drawing in order to organize the child’s leisure time more interestingly when it’s time for rains, “dull charm” and sitting at home. Read ideas for things to do at home with your child in bad weather.

Idea #1

You need to put the dried leaves between sheets of paper, and then paint over the sheet with solid strokes using soft colored pencils or crayons. A sheet with all the veins will appear on white paper. Using this method, you can compose compositions: a bouquet in a vase, an autumn landscape, etc.

Idea #2

A similar method, only the leaves need to be waxed (with a candle or white wax crayon), and then covered with watercolor on a sheet of paper. It is convenient to paint over large planes with a wide squirrel brush or foam rubber sponge.

Idea #3

Paint is applied to the sheet from the side of the veins. Then the sheet is applied to paper and an imprint is made. The effect will be different, depending on which paint to use.

You can come up with many compositional solutions: the imprint of a large leaf can become the crown of a tree if you finish drawing the trunk; a few prints - that's a whole forest!

Prints made with white ink on a colored background look spectacular. You can combine several techniques, draw images with pencils or felt-tip pens.

Idea #4

By blowing paint through a straw, you can draw bizarre trees. This method gives you endless possibilities for experimentation! You can, for example, draw trees on a pre-prepared background.

Idea #5

Fill the background yourself with the kid or offer colored cardboard. Let him draw the crown of the tree and fallen leaves, dipping his finger into the paint.

Idea #6

The crown looks voluminous if you make it clear of colored pencils. Spot glue in the right places and sprinkle with small chips. The trunk and branches can be blown through a straw or drawn in any other way.

Idea #7

It is convenient (and completely non-marking) to draw a crown with a cotton swab. In the same way, you can depict a bunch of mountain ash, a sprig of currants or other berries.

Idea #8

A very unusual picture can be made using foil. Lay a dried leaflet (you can have several) on a sheet of cardboard with the veins up. Cover it with thin foil and gently, so as not to tear, smooth it with your fingers so that the pattern shows through. Cover the foil with dark paint (you can use gouache, acrylic, tempera, ink) and let dry well. Scrub the painting very gently with a hard washcloth. The protruding veins of the leaf will shine, and dark paint will remain in the recesses. Now you can frame your work!

Idea #9

Those who love textures will surely enjoy filling various silhouettes with patterns. Draw or circle an autumn leaf according to the template, divide it into small planes, like a stained glass window. Let the child fill in each piece with a different pattern. You can do this with a gel pen, felt-tip pens.

Idea #10

A similar task can be performed using the scratching technique. Paint a sheet of smooth (polished) cardboard with paints and rub with wax (candle). You can use wax crayons to create the background. Cover the surface with black ink and dry. Scratch the drawing with a sharp object.

Idea #11

Using a stiff bristled brush or toothbrush, splatter the paint. This method is suitable for drawing tree crowns, creating compositions based on plant prints.

Lesson on the image of an autumn leaf

1. Organizational part.

To determine the topic and task of the lesson, I suggest that students solve riddles. I accompany the students' answers with a slide show about autumn, about the different state of nature in autumn bad weather or on fine days, slides depicting autumn leaves.

empty fields,

Wet earth,

The rain is pouring.

When does it happen?

(in autumn)

I paint yellow

Field, forest, valley.

And I love the sound of rain

Call me!

(autumn)

Trees change their dress

Leaves are slowly disappearing.

It is clear to everyone how twice two -

Came...

(autumn time)

The branches in the park rustle,

Throw off their outfit.

He is at the oak and birch

Multi-colored, bright, catchy.

(Leaf fall)

Redhead Egorka

Fell on the lake

Didn't drown myself

And he didn't stir up the water.

(autumn leaf)

2. Motivation and goal setting.

After viewing even such a small number of slides, it becomes obvious: why autumn at different times inspired writers, poets, musicians and, of course, artists to create beautiful works that convey the variety of colors of the autumn palette. Nature is good at this time of the year: the sky, and the forest, as a whole, and the reflection of the forest in the water, and each tree individually is unique and beautiful, and the earth is covered with a carpet of many different - different leaves, and each leaf from any tree is interesting and good in his own way. So I want to capture this beauty. We formulate the first part of the topic.

Nature. In everyday life, the word "nature" is often used in the meaning of the natural habitat (everything that is not created by man).

Color palette (color palette) - a fixed set (range) of colors and shades.

Diversity - diversity, an abundance of something different.

Consider individual leaves. We observe the difference between leaves in shape and color, but between leaves from different trees, there is something in common. And this common thing is the sameness of the halves of a leaf of any tree relative to an imaginary line dividing the leaf into two parts, and passing along the petiole-stem. The halves of the sheet are the same and symmetrical. At the moment, we are observing the manifestation of symmetry in nature on the example of a tree leaf.

Symmetry, bilateral symmetry means that the right and left sides look the same relative to some plane (axis of symmetry, center line, symmetrical halves).

Each leaf of a tree has a certain shape and, accordingly, a structure. Today we will not depict a tree, and if not a tree, what then ... Of course, a leaf and ... a leaf of a beautiful, not simple shape, filled with different color spots ... that's right, this is a maple leaf. The name of the second part of the topic of the lesson sounds.

Consider a maple leaf. It has a complex shape, but if you follow certain rules in the image, the appearance of a maple leaf will not be difficult to convey. The leaf has an imaginary middle line, it runs in the middle of the leaf plate and passes into the petiole. And there is an imaginary point at the end of the leaf plate and the beginning of the petiole, from which the most pronounced veins come out, located to the right and left of the leaf symmetry axis in the same way. Like this.

3. Actualization of basic knowledge and methods of action.

Let's use this fact in the image of the sheet. And so, the first thing we do is draw a vertical line in the center of the format with a simple pencil, which will be the middle line of the tree leaf. Next, we mark the vanishing point of the veins on the given line and outline the veins that are located symmetrically relative to the center line. Like this.

Next, around the veins, we outline lines in shape resembling a crown, consisting of three pointed elements, smoothly connecting to each other through arcs. The middle element of each of the "crowns" is larger than the two side ones. In total, there are three “crowns”, in our case (but it can be different). They are depicted around the central vein-axis and two lateral veins next to the central one and on both sides of it. And near the remaining veins we draw lines like an arrowhead.

Then we gradually connect the crowns and arrows with each other with smooth deep arcs, draw different lines that convey the finished look to the shape of the tree leaf and, in general, the sketch for working with paints is ready.

If there is no fantasy or you want to plunge into the autumn magic a little, spend time with your child drawing a maple leaf. This is an interesting activity with a lot of bright colors and a positive charge of emotions.

Maple leaf is one of the most beautiful. Besides what he has original shape with five pointed ends, its color is very bright and colorful. It does not matter for what purpose you need to depict this drawing, for a children's competition or an autumn landscape, this useful pastime for any person.

Drawing a maple leaf is easy. This will help you step by step sketches:

• First of all, you should draw the frame of the sheet. To do this, you need to draw an arched vertical line - this is the leg of the sheet.
• Then freehand draw two horizontal intersecting lines. This is the basis for its five-pointed form.
• Circle the tips of the drawn lines, and then erase the sketch inside the drawing. The base is ready!

How to draw a maple leaf step by step

After that, start detailing your drawing. It is necessary to make sharp tips along the edges of the leaf so that it looks realistic.

Drawing detail

After that, erase the extra sketch lines and draw characteristic veins on the leaf.

Veins on a maple leaf

After that, you just have to paint the sheet in colorful colors: yellow, orange, brick, brown, red, green. The leaf can be monophonic, can have many shades.

Autumn is the season of beauty right under your feet. I just can’t get past the beautiful leaves, which in autumn you can find an incredible amount. Each leaf is individual, a real work, and never repeated. Recently, while going to work, I managed to collect a dozen unique autumn leaves (details here), and it was they who inspired me to create today's master class.

COMPLEXITY

Just

To create a winter composition, we need:

1. A4 watercolor paper
2. Watercolor paints
3. Synthetic brush №18
4. Palette
5. Template for autumn leaves (PDF template can be downloaded here)
6. Eraser
7. Simple pencil
8. Bank of water

The very first thing we do at the very beginning is to prepare a template for autumn leaves (the template can be downloaded here) and put it on A4 watercolor paper. We circle with a pencil all the silhouettes of the leaves.
When all the silhouettes of the leaves are ready. We begin to paint over the leaves from the inside with watercolors using the alla prima technique (translated from Italian as “in one sitting”). We put inside the leaf of the color that can be found on autumn leaves, it can be orange, carmine, red, green, yellow, brown. Add water to watercolor and then one color will blend smoothly with another. We include creativity and imagination. For example, this leaf shown in the photo, we begin to apply watercolor on it from the middle, for this we mix ocher with orange, and then we take red which we mix with a lot of carmine color and apply from the middle to the very edge. Then we dip into the grassy green paint and apply it to the base of the leaf, where the leaf stalk is located.
In this way, we fill in all the silhouettes of various autumn leaves. The first leaf was a linden leaf. This photo shows a maple leaf. The next one is the oak leaf.





When we are completely finished painting over our autumn leaves. You can play with your child on the game "Guess the autumn leaf by silhouette" (the necessary information can be downloaded here).
