Little children love to get dirty, mess around with loose materials, create fantasy images, give themselves creative process entirely. Combine the child's hobbies into one whole, you get drawing in the sand.

Surely you yourself were fascinated by watching such performances on TV, watching chic animations by famous world authors. Try to repeat the show at home with your child. And our article will tell you how to draw with sand on glass and how to teach a child to make sand compositions.

From this article you will learn

What is the benefit of this lesson

American animator Carolyn Leaf filed interesting idea teachers and parents, how to organize the leisure of kids and engage in the development of multidirectional skills at the same time.

She created a sand video. The heroes came to life, acted on a luminous board. The artist painted them with her fingers using sand. The idea was picked up by other animators. The method of creating images and plot deserved high praise.

Gradually, drawing on a special board with sand came into the life of ordinary people. Teachers began to practice such activities with children different ages. The fascinating method of pedagogical work was studied from the point of view of psychology, physiology, didactics. Practicing innovation teachers and preschool teachers noticed the following beneficial features similar activities:

• Painting with sand on glass is fun and interesting. 99% of kids get charged positive emotions during the lesson, entertainment.
• The method has no special rules. The kid can draw with his palm, one or more fingers, create any shapes and erase them quickly if something doesn’t work out.
• The absence of restrictions relieves emotional stress. Children are relaxed, moderately excited, they feel like the creators of a unique masterpiece.
• Motor skills develop. Kindergarteners are tired of plasticine, pencils, it is no less useful to train the dexterity of fingers with the help of a light tablet and sand. Along with motor skills, speech develops.
• Improving graphomotor. Schoolchildren develop the ability to follow the contour, hold the pen correctly, and observe the rhythm of movements.
• Suitable for any age. Kindergartens, schoolchildren and adults draw on the board with pleasure. The magic of loose animation leaves almost no one indifferent.
• Getting rid of stress. Work with sand is included in the course of psychotherapy for the treatment of neuroses, tics, insomnia. Healthy children in the classroom also calm down, find peace of mind, forget about troubles.
• A unique method helps to reveal creative potential, to find yourself. The child shows imagination, shows hidden abilities, is not afraid of evaluating the result.

If we consider the methodology from the point of view of organization and material costs, the following advantages are revealed:

• Consumables are cheap. Sand is not necessary to buy, use semolina, ground coffee.
• You can make a drawing tablet with your own hands. You will need a lamp, plexiglass, a wooden box. The equipment takes up little space in the room and does not require special care.
• Any mom, dad, grandmother can teach a kid to draw with sand. You don't need any special education or courses to take classes. Look at examples of work on the Internet and feel free to start creating.

Drawing materials and tools

Without special home-made or store-bought equipment, learning to draw in the sand will not work. Small set of tools and consumables:

On a note! Buy quartz sand at a pet store, shopping centers in the "Toys", "Everything for creativity" department.

Drawing techniques

The art of creating animations is based on simple tricks drawing. AT kindergarten, at home, show your child how to hold hands, pour out sand so that the picture is clear, bright and real. Use the following techniques for beginners.

Pour sand from one palm to another

Great option to get started. Kids tune in to work, get acquainted with the material, feel its weight, warmth or coolness, texture.

We collect sand in a fist and scatter

You need to watch how much sand a preschooler picks up in his palm. It should be a little so that the movements are easy, the layer of material on the glass is thin.

Throwing out the sand

With the help of a stream from the palm of your hand, children draw lines of different thicknesses. If you hold the pen high and shoot in a thin stream, you get a light version of the line. If you pour roughly, almost unclenching your fist, you will draw a dark wide curve. At this stage, it is important to work out both techniques so that the child controls the saturation of the picture with color, creates almost invisible lines.

Draw with fingers

Children can use each finger individually or the entire palm. Let them depict grass, hair, trees. Large objects are drawn with a fist - a mountain, a stone. Pillows - fruits, stars.

Students who have mastered simple ways drawing, offer such exciting exercises.

Maple Leaf

Fill in the outline for maple leaf, trying to keep its form. Correct the lines with your fingers. Move the excess sand to the edge of the painted sheet to make the outline darker. Draw a petiole. Draw internal lines (veins) with your fingernail. Place a circle in the petiole area with your fingertip.

Letters

The material is scattered on the glass from the palm of your hand or with a pinch. Levels out. Against this background, write the letters of the Latin or Slavic alphabet according to the model. The child learns to be attentive, to repeat the pattern. Graphomotor skills develop.

Water

Pour sand over the entire surface of the container. Using four or five widely spaced fingers, draw wavy lines. Make horizontal lines with your fingernail - this is a ripple. Then draw the horizon and remove the excess at the top of the glass. Draw clouds on the same composition.

Clouds

The sand is clenched in a fist. Doing circular motions hand with a small amplitude, scatter the material in the sandbox. Small lines can then be drawn with a fingernail to make the clouds lush.

Young artists at the initial stage of mastering an exciting hobby will like these exercises using additional tools.

stencils

Take stamps, coffee stencils, lids from plastic bottles. Leave footprints on the sand table. By using different figures large plot compositions are created.

Sieve

It is much easier to disperse sand through a baby sieve. You can form mountains, make a thin coating on glass. The next step is to draw with your fingers on the resulting sand space.

Funnel

A wide-mouth tool helps to make a high mound. Children enthusiastically watch the sand stream, repeat the action with the help of a fist.

Draw animal tracks

This exercise requires careful work from the fingers. Draw traces with a fist, making the main background. Small details are drawn with sticks, fingertips, nails.

Pendulum

Attach beads of different sizes to the ropes. Swing the pendulum so that traces of the load remain on the glass. Toddlers learn to control strength, observe the rhythm of movements. This is an excellent therapy for emotional overload.

Color linings for the background

Colored cardboard, colorful pictures are placed on the glass. Sand is spread over a thin layer. Children draw circles, zigzags. The colored fragment protrudes partially. It turns out the original picture.

pattern prints

You can play with a non-standard item with patterns - a toilet paper sleeve. Put pictures on it glue gun let dry. Swipe the tool over a thin surface of sand, leaving a mark. Girls love this type of work.

There are many options for selecting additional elements, tools for creating a sand masterpiece:

• Take combs with rare or frequent teeth - you get a wave.
• Toothpicks help to draw the thinnest lines, to make the image of the hero expressive, real.
• Children's rakes are suitable for drawing relief on landscape compositions.

Fantasize, do not limit yourself and your child in the creative process.

sand animation

The child will be able to perform the first simple animation in three or four lessons, having mastered the technical basics of drawing. Invite the student to draw an apple tree on the glass. Step by step master class is given below:

1. Prepare the sand and screen. Treat the table surface with an antistatic agent, remove excess.
2. Take some sand in your fist and sprinkle it on the light table. The surface must be covered evenly.
   
3. draw thumb trunk, press on the entire pad.
   
4. Rising to the top of the apple tree, sharpen the line. Draw not everything with a pillow, but with a half, then with a fingernail.
   
5. Use your little finger and index finger to draw thin and thick branches. Curve the lines to make the apple tree look like a real one.
   
6. Draw a crown. Collect sand, generously sprinkle around the branches, at the top.
   
7. Leave a little for the bottom of the picture. Scatter it under a tree. It will be weed.
   
8. Use your fingerprints to draw apples on the branches. Determine their number yourself. It is important that the circles are not blurry, the edges should be clear.
   
9. If you draw three or four apples under a tree, on the ground, you get an autumn version of the picture.
   
10. Now clear the background. Draw a contour around the crown, remove excess sand from the surface. The tree will have a shape.
    

On a note! For animation, use a multi-colored drawing set. With the help of green, yellow, white, gray sand, changing the hue of the image backlight, professionals achieve the effect of a lively picture.

Game exercises

At home, in kindergarten, in early development classes, kids learn through play. it The best way teach the complex through the simple. A board sandbox with high sides and play activities for preschoolers will help you with this.

We train fingers

Start your first acquaintance with animation not with theory, but with practice. Give the opportunity to touch, smell, explore the material. Turn on the lights in the sandbox. You can put on soft music so that the kids immerse themselves in the whole process, understand that something unusual will happen now.

Ask preschoolers to draw any object, figure on the glass with their finger. Let them tinker with sand. At the same time, motor skills, imagination, and attention develop.

We play hide and seek

You will need a rake, shovels and a thick layer of sand. Distribute small toys to students (kinder figures). Ask to bury unnoticed by others. Arrange a competition to see who can find a friend's toy faster with eyes closed with the help of fingers.

What a surprise for me

The teacher hides various small items in the sandbox (buttons, rags, pieces of paper, figurines, balls, coins). The task of the children: to find one object with their hands, guess what it is, by touch. In the process of understanding, feeling the subject, you need to talk about your feelings, assumptions.

Treasure

Sand should be poured into a deep container or chest. Put pirate treasure inside: beads, coins, map, " gems". You need to look for treasure with one finger. Associate a fascinating story with each find. Tell it yourself or come up with the children.

Stone

Find a cobblestone on the street. Let it be unpleasant to the touch: cold, slippery, rough and so on. Bury the item in the sand. Ask the children to touch an unknown object at the same time, to tell what they feel, why they feel uncomfortable, and so on.

Continue research as a group when the stone is removed from the sandbox. Tactile sensations are responsible for the formation of speech, train emotional endurance.

Important! For hide-and-seek when children cannot see the object under the sand, pick up toys with rounded edges, made of fabric, rubber, so that the kids do not hurt their fingers.

Learn non-traditional methods early development, children's entertainment is needed after watching video tutorials or recommendations from professionals. For beginners, it is useful to know the following:

1. Place dots with the pads of different fingers. Remember what size they will be. This will help not to make a mistake in choosing a finger when drawing eyes, fruits, drawings on the body of animals.
2. Before the lesson, try to fill an even layer of sand on the glass. Use a sieve, funnels, fists a little later.
3. Do not smooth the surface with your fingers. Prints leave an unaesthetic mark.
4. When toddlers learn how to create simple images, try to create compositions from small details using improvised tools.
5. Professionals minimize the number of touches to the sand. Movements should be sweeping, confident.
6. Select the best option drawing for your level. Practice the technique of its creation to perfection. Rehearse the scheme several times.
7. Before drawing a stroke, consider its length and width.
8. You can draw with sand on a light and sound board, a black polished table, a kitchen baking sheet. The most important thing is the contrast between the surface and the bulk material.

Important! Watch master classes for free on the Web. Periodically show children complex compositions on video. This gives impetus to development, spurs interest and desire to improve the technique of drawing.

How to make a sand animation table with your own hands

Playing activities in the family circle are much more useful for young children than group classes in development centers. A backlit sand drawing tablet can be made at home from improvised materials. Dads will need:

• wooden box;
• a suitable piece of plexiglass;
• nails;
• electrical tape, adhesive tape;
• wood paint;
• flashlight, lamp.

The manufacturing process will take no more than 1-2 hours, and there will be no limit to children's joy. Make a table bigger so that the whole family can use it at the same time. The instruction consists of the following steps:

1. Clean the wooden box from excess, reduce the height of the sides. The average depth of space is 10–15 centimeters.
2. Remove the bottom cover or make a slot to install the glass.
3. Place the transparent part on the bottom half.
4. Secure the glass carefully with the strips underneath.
5. On the sides, make compartments for storing small items (sticks, sieves, rakes). To do this, nail the strips, retreating from the edge a couple of centimeters.
6. Install the legs on the table. Choose the height according to the height and age of the youngest child.
7. Place a bright lantern or electric lamp with good power under the table.
8. The workplace for the little artist is ready.

Watch the video tutorial on how to make your own sand painting light table at home:

Interesting fact! In Tibet and India, traditions of creating images of the supreme God with the help of multi-colored grains of sand have been preserved. This art has a name - mandala. Bright round pictures are made only by monks initiated into tantric secrets. It takes 1-2 weeks to make one mandala. The picture is made up of millions of sand grains.

Sand compositions cannot be hung on the wall, left as a keepsake to show to friends and relatives. This is the only negative of such creativity. But there is a way out. Record successful classes on the camera, take pictures of drawings. Make a video with music over the slides.

series of abstracts on the technique of sand drawing

for younger children preschool age

Explanatory note

Visual activity - one of the types artistic creativity giving the child the opportunity to create on their own.

Many different techniques are known non-traditional drawing- monotype, drawing cotton swabs, wrinkled paper, screen printing, etc.

Of particular interest to children and adults is such a technique as drawing in the sand. And this is no coincidence. The malleability of the sand and its natural magic are mesmerizing.

This type of drawing is one of the most unusual ways of creative activity, because children create unique masterpieces on the sand with their own hands.

Of course, you are familiar with the elements of sand therapy. But I would like to introduce you to another form - drawing in the sand.

In the process of drawing on the sand in children, tactile sensitivity increases, fine motor skills of hands, imagination, Creative skills, memory, and there is also an active formation of speech activity.

Surprisingly, the hands of the baby turn a handful of sand into a landscape, a starry sky, a forest, a sea or a magical land. The use of illumination, including colored or multi-colored, gives children special joy.

Teaching the technique of drawing on the sand is carried out with a subgroup of children or individually in the afternoon.

Classes include three cycles:

• 1st- initial - getting to know the sand, preparing the hand, word games and exercises to develop the imagination and the ability to draw on the sand;
• 2nd- plot drawing on the topic and according to the plan, first with the teacher, then independently;
• 3rd- Telling, reasoning, compiling fairy tales, stories from drawings, diagrams, pictograms.

Topics of activity can change, be supplemented depending on the imagination and creative intent of the child.

For organization educational activities appropriate equipment is required - a table with glass or a tablet measuring 50 x 30 with backlight. Fine white sand is used for drawing, which is stored in a special compartment in a box on the table (tablet).

Sand painting methods.

Sand is the same paint, only it works on the principle of “light” and “shadow”.

There are several ways to draw on a sand table. Simplest: light in the dark. First, we prepare the background: a thin, uniform layer of sand is applied by uniform dispersion (“salting”) of sand over the surface of the table with a height of 20-30 cm. Images are obtained by applying lines, dots and other figures to the background with fingers, the side of the palm, palms. A thin layer is pushed apart, raked.

Way dark in bright (filling). It's a little more difficult. Sand can be poured onto a clean “light” sheet in any way: thin, thick, curly lines (for example: seagulls over the sea).

Way prints. Imprints can be applied with the side surface of the palm, fingertips, nails (for example: bunnies jump, an elephant walks, a flower grows).

Techniques can be easily combined, combined in one composition. The drawing can always be corrected - no need to be afraid to make a mistake. This is one of the beauties of sand painting - everything is fixable. Over time, you feel how and what to portray, you understand what possibilities the sand has.

You can start familiarizing children with sand with simple tricks: say hello to the sand, stroke it (what kind of sand is warm, dry?), warm it in a fist, pass it between your palms, listen to how it talks to you, whispers. Children like to amuse the sand: tickle it first with one finger, then with all, with both hands - the sand laughs. Glide your palms on the sand, drawing how the car drove, with two fingers - a sled.

Simple graphic exercises

Based on the principle of graphics, it is good to introduce the child to its elements.

To implement each idea, a certain amount of sand is used, the central figure conceived by the child stands out, the rest of the details are drawn additionally. By adding a handful of sand, children learn to make the drawing dark, bright or, removing the excess, light, transparent, they try to convey their mood, feelings and thoughts in the drawing. You think, beautiful drawings will you get sand from the first lesson? This is not entirely true, unfortunately. Good drawings are created not even by all adults, not to mention the kids.

If you're really interested in trying things out on your own, then find and read a book called Writing and Drawing in the Sand by German educator Mariella Seitz. This is a unique guide! In affordable and very interesting form the author shares tips on how adults can learn to paint with sand themselves and how to teach children different techniques drawing.

"Rain, rain, more fun!"

Shows drawings made with pencils or felt-tip pens. He asks the children what these pictures are drawn with and offers to draw rain with sand.

Look, in the picture, the rain has not started yet, although the clouds have covered the sun. And then the first drops of rain fell to the ground. Cap-cap, cap-cap.

We draw long, long lines - this is heavy rain, trickles run;

We draw short lines - this is a light rain, raindrops (droplets) drip.

The rain is getting quieter and now it is completely over, only puddles remain on the ground.

What kind of rain will you have?
