A painting class in the preparatory group on "Spring", "Winter", "Space"

The older the child becomes, the more demands are placed on him. So, for example, children of junior groups of a kindergarten do not have to prepare for school, but in preparatory groups children purposefully develop skills that will help them further. And this is in any institution. The painting class in the preparatory group is focused on preparing the child for school lessons. Its main goal is to test the imagination and the level of moral preparedness to change the situation.

The main topics of the classes

Of course, children draw in kindergartens, and quite a lot. But about once a week is a special occupation. Drawing in the preparatory group takes place on a specific topic. The most important of them are:

• Spring;
• winter;
• summer;
• autumn;
• space;
• Animals;
• nature;
• transport.

Sometimes there is a very special and interesting activity. Unconventional drawing (preparatory group) implies the use not of colors, but of any other material suitable for the image of the thoughts.

What is the technique

This approach allows the child to develop comprehensively. That is, he chooses which material to use to realize his idea. For example, children often take colored cardboard, from which they make appliques, which also refer to the non-traditional method of drawing, if they are decorated with painting. Sometimes children choose oil crayons or wax pencils. They are convenient to draw, and most importantly - they do not stain hands and clothes. The drawing class in the preparatory group, although planned by educators, is usually completely controlled by the children themselves. They decide how and how their drawings will be made.

Theme: winter

In December, January and February, teachers usually ask such a topic for classes. Children decide what to create on paper. The painting class in the preparatory group on the theme "Winter" usually includes an image of such elements:

• Snowflakes;
• Winter forest or nature;
• New Year's houses and decor;
• Playing in the fresh air;
• Favorite winter games.

What are the children picturing? Usually it is imagination: everyone decides that he is more interesting and closer. For example, many draw sledges or skis, his family on the street, a new year at home, winter nature. Children really love freedom in creativity! In the preparatory group, the children usually already know how exactly this or that element is drawn. For example, that the Christmas tree can be represented by several triangles, and the house consists of other figures that they are familiar with.

The task of the educator

If the child does not know how to depict one or another element, then the leader should prompt him, show, help. This is his main task. In addition, the educator should talk about what shapes will help in drawing, as they are called, where they can be seen. All this knowledge will be useful later for children in school. Moreover, some schools do not even take poorly trained kids to school.

The task of parents

A drawing class in the preparatory group of the kindergarten helps the child develop. The task of parents is to support all the beginnings of their children, to tell them what knowledge they will need in the future, why it is important, why it is needed. And, of course, draw with him at home. Occupation in the kindergarten is not enough, it is worth paying attention and home exercises.

Theme: space

This is one of the most important subjects for drawing in kindergarten. Why? Because exploring the cosmos is so interesting! What kids usually draw:

• Missiles;
• Planets;
• stars;
• Asteroids;
• Comets;
• Aliens;
• Space vehicles.

And this is not the limit of fantasy. It is noteworthy that the painting class in the preparatory group on the theme "Cosmos" is accompanied by the tutor's story about what is space, what is in it, who are the cosmonauts, what they are doing, why it is important and necessary. These are not just art lessons, they are whole interesting mini-lectures that affect the development of children, their thinking, their worldview.

Theme: Spring

This topic is very similar to winter, although it, of course, has its own peculiarities and nuances. First, the drawing class in the preparatory group on the topic "Spring" includes several subtopics at once. Secondly, educators need to prepare additional materials for exercises. Which sub-themes are commonly used:

• What is spring;
• Spring in the forest;
• City spring;
• March 8;
• Easter.

What materials are usually prepared by educators:

• Why does winter go away;
• What are drops;
• How green leaves and grass appear;
• That for the holiday "March 8", why it is celebrated, how they congratulate mothers, grandmothers, sisters;
• What is "Easter", and everything connected with it.

All this knowledge will certainly be of use to children in the future. In addition, the school often asked questions about the surrounding world, natural processes, how and what is arranged in nature. Babies who already know this from kindergarten, are much easier to perceive new information, feel more confident in a new environment, adapt more quickly.

Why preparation is important

Children, coming to school, at first feel some stress, because the situation is changing, the requirements for them are different, the form of submission of the teaching material is completely different, new people are around. And everything should be used! Therefore it is important already in the preparatory group to start teaching children what they can use in the primary classes. And prepare them for change. It is noteworthy that it is the drawing classes that help the kids to more easily and quickly perceive new information. Child psychologists have proved that information that is served in a pleasant and kind environment is well absorbed. Drawing promotes all-round development: kids not only do something with pens, but also listen, remember, apply the knowledge they have gained. It is very important that parents support children's interest in the fine arts, give them new knowledge and subjects for exercises. This should in no case be orders for execution, rather recommendations and advice. Children do not like and do not perceive what they are forced to do, but they like it when attention is paid to their interests. Parents and educators should encourage the beginnings and skills of children to stimulate their further development. In this case, errors must also be indicated, but in a soft and correct form.
