How to make drawings for Pancake week? We draw the Shrovetide in stages: a scarecrow, a fire, pancakes, the sun
Often children on the eve of the holiday are asked to bring inschool or kindergarten drawings - Pancake week, spring, bonfire, holiday. And if you go with your baby on a national festival, he himself will be torn to transfer impressions on paper. But how to draw Shrovetide? How to portray not just a holiday, not just a bonfire or pancakes - namely a merry holiday of the spring? We will try to help you.
Step by step drawing of Maslenitsa: we paint together with children
Start the work with the fact that together with the childthink about what will be depicted in your drawing. Choose the plot of the future picture and try to list and present all the elements that you have to depict. They should not be too much, and they should not be complicated, unless you, of course, are a professional artist.
Most likely, you decide to draw a scarecrowCarnival and a pile of pancakes on a plate - these are the main symbols of the first spring holiday. But do not forget that the scarecrow should burn. This means that you will also have to make a fire. Fire can be painted around a scarecrow, but you can and just next to it. And one more obligatory element of your drawing is the sun. After all, pancakes, and the Shrovetide festival itself since ancient times are dedicated to the arrival of spring, and hence to the warm and bright sun that drives the bored winter with its cold and snowstorms.
Now you need to draw a thin pencil onA sheet of paper, where the elements of the drawing will be placed. The younger your child is, the more he has the inclination to fill the entire leaf with the first element of the drawing, so if he starts to draw a scarecrow, the pancakes and the sun of the free space may simply not be enough. Therefore, the composition of the picture and the dimensions of all the elements must be indicated in advance. Then start painting.
How to draw a stuffed pancake week
First, mark the cross - a long pole and a cross stick, on which the arms will be placed.
Then draw a circle or an oval at the top of the pole - this will be the head.
Draw a contour of clothing - a headscarf around the head, hanging from the stick of the sleeve, the outline and hem of the skirt.
Draw some details of clothes. Scarecrow is usually worn in the oldest rags, paint patches and tears.
The clothes of a stuffed man can be a skirt with a shirt or a sundress. You can also draw an apron. On the head - necessarily a large kerchief.
Now paint the straw that stuffed our stuffed Shrovetide. Straw can stick out of sleeves and holes on clothes, protrude from under the hem of the skirt.
Now you can draw a face. If it is difficult to draw a nose and a mouth, you can confine your eyes. The face of the scarecrow is schematic, rude. Do not make Maslenitsa a beauty, so that it would not be a pity to burn it.
Now you can color an effigy with paints or colored pencils the way your fantasy tells.
How to draw Maslenica pancakes
A stack of pancakes draw the same way as they prepare - from below, from the plate. Draw an oval - this will be a plate for pancakes.
Mark the rectangle on the plate with light strokes according to the size of the alleged stack of pancakes.
At the top of the rectangle draw another oval - this is the top pancake. It should be smaller than a plate, with uneven edges.
Draw the uneven vertical lines inside the rectangle - the pancakes are always slightly different in size.
Curved pancakes by semicircular wavy lines. Some pancakes can act or slightly hanging like real ones.
Mark the shadows - on one side of the stack, make the pancakes darker so that the picture looks bulky.
On top, draw a slice of oil and flowing over a pile of pancakes flowing honey and jam.
You can paint, the picture of pancakes is ready for carnival.
How to draw a bonfire
Draw an oval that looks like an egg. This is the outer contour of the fire.
Draw the largest flames - they should look like sharpened ribbons wriggling from the bottom up.
Draw the remaining flames - smaller in size, but in larger numbers, at the bottom of the fire.
On each flame tongue, make one side darker - this will add a fire to the fire.
At the bottom, draw firewood - smooth round logs.
Add small sparks and outline a radiance around the flame.
Color the flame with bright colors.
How to draw a Masene sun
In the drawing, the sun does not represent the sun on Maslenitsa,as children usually do - it's not just a small yellow circle with rays. The sun must have a face, and the rays are painted thick, in a folk style.
Draw a large circle. It may not be too smooth, but necessarily with a thick, well-traced edge.
Draw the sun face. Eyes are made large, with eyebrows and eyelashes. The nose is enough to just outline, but your mouth must smile.
Draw rays, they can be in the form of triangles or wriggling snakes. The main thing is that there must be a lot of rays, so that they form around the Maslienian sun a whole circle of bright radiant flame.
If you draw a face you are difficult, the sun can be depicted as a thick spiral, also surrounded by a large number of rays.
