Everybody draws (Part 2) How to make a stencil
If the child will express a desire to draw out a picture which he or she likes, do not deprive his or her of this pleasure. Help him (her) to do it by means of a lid, carefully attached to a sheet. Draw out an outline and the basic characterizing features (in any case the result will be enough stylized stencil but, everybody will undoubtedly recognize it). Certainly, the help of the adult for cutting out a figure by means of the chopping-knife will be required. A firm hand and the certain skills are necessary here. I advise you to lay under the future stencil a cardboard or something firm (for example, a kitchen board) for cutting it out.
By the way, do not hurry to throw out the picture cut out, it can also be used as a curve and, draw out a contour of it you can receive any image of an animal or a bird.
So, the stencil is ready. It is possible to leave children with pencils, a paper and stencils to create a picture and to enjoy the hobbies… And it is possible to play at a lesson of drawing with them and to receive a lot of pleasure and colourful figures.
Lesson of drawing for the whole family
Are you still full of energy? Then cut a household sponge into sections (do not forget a part for yourself), take paints (gouache, water color) and, using the stencils, create! Pay attention of the children to the way of drawing of animals: a back is usually dark, a tummy is lighter. Try to reproduce strands of wool using a brush. Let the kid improvises and draws everything, which comes to his or her mind, what is pleasant and enjoyable for the child.
