Dear friends! The children and I are already today. We will paint space with paints using a regular brush. And geometric shapes will be our assistants.

First, ask the children to remember the geometric shapes they know (circle, square, rectangle, triangle, oval). And make blanks of these figures of different sizes.

Drawing on the theme of Space: you will need

- a sheet of paper for watercolors,

- a simple pencil,

- gouache paints,

- tassels of different numbers,

- templates geometric shapes,

- special line.

Drawing space: step-by-step master class

Step 1

— Make template templates: circles different sizes, rectangle, triangle, half circle.

— Try to create a composition on the theme “Space” from the given figures.

Hint: one of possible options- draw a rocket.

— Arrange the rectangle, triangle and semicircle templates to form a rocket.

— Trace the details according to the templates with a simple pencil.

Using a special ruler, draw small circles on the rocket - these are portholes.

Step 2

- Draw the planets - trace the circle patterns.

— Add a few more small planets along the ruler.

- Select a suitable figure on the ruler, circle it several times below the rocket, this way you can get the fiery tail of the rocket.

Step 3

- Dip the brush into gouache blue and place blue spots on the sheet around the design.

- Then dip the brush in yellow paint and apply the yellow spots in the same way.

- Pick up paint with a wet brush white, paint the background of the sky, constantly dipping the brush into water and the tip of the brush into white paint. At the same time, we move the brush wavy line top down.

— Then we gradually paint over the remaining fragments of the drawing.

- In this way, we gradually fill the entire drawing with paints. It is better to start painting with light colors. This process is creative.

— To paint planets, it is better to mix paints of 2-3 colors.

— When the drawing dries, use the tip of the brush to draw stars by poking with yellow paint.

The children produced such wonderful drawings.

Creative task:

— Prepare your own geometric shape templates.

— Create your own composition on the theme “Space” using your own templates.

— Draw a picture with paints.

To make it more interesting for children to study this topic, competitions are usually held to best drawing for Cosmonautics Day. " What to draw for April 12? - This question interests many parents and their children.

I have collected for you a bunch of interesting and modern ideas for drawings that children of different ages can repeat, from primary classes to the elders. Some ideas are accompanied by step-by-step lessons. I hope you find it for yourself

What can you draw for Cosmonautics Day?

Cosmonaut

How to draw an astronaut in four different options you will find in .

Space

There are a great many lessons on drawing space on the Internet, including step-by-step photo tutorials and videos. Most often, when painting space, watercolors are used, because... it is translucent and blends easily.

I like the videos on the channel TILLITH. She has a whole playlist on how to draw space.

Here is one of her videos:

There is also a step-by-step guide on my website.

Rocket

In a recent lesson I showed:

Satellite

I found how to draw an artificial satellite with colored pencils on the website prodelkino.ru.

Planets

It’s easy to draw a planet, but it always looks epic, especially if you color it beautifully.

Below step by step lesson how to draw a planet similar to Saturn.

Step 1

First draw a beautiful and big circle to illustrate the volume of the planet. Leave a little space on each side to then draw the rings.

Step 2

Now for the rings: Draw a long, thin oval shape in the center of the circle. You can tilt this shape (almost at a 45 degree angle) to make the planet look more attractive.

Step 3

Now transform the oval shape into a nice and edgy ring. Carefully erase the extra lines.

Step 4

Then add multiple lines on the planet to create different stripes of gas. You can also add a couple more rings.

Step 5

Use several colors in shades of orange and yellow. The combination of these colors will make the planet more realistic.

Step 6

The last step is to add shadows: one with right side, one under the ring, and the other behind the planet on the right side of the rings.

A beautiful, colorful and voluminous planet, drawn in just six simple steps, is ready!

Orbital station

You will find a lesson on drawing a station.

Galaxy

Space doodles

This direction in drawing arose not so long ago and now it is mega-popular. Verbatim doodle- these are dashes, scribbles, meaningless drawings, which are created mechanically, thinking about something else. Drawing space objects in doodle style looks just right. I will give a few examples that you can easily repeat with a black helium pen. And if you then color the drawing, then you have every chance of taking first place in the competition for the best drawing for Cosmonautics Day!

I hope you found it for yourself interesting idea for drawing for Cosmonautics Day. Use your imagination and you will succeed!

Many thanks to them for this! Well, all I can do is repost their notes))

Today the whole world celebrates the anniversary of the beginning of human exploration of a fundamentally new entity - Space! On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin made a space flight for the first time in history and thereby discovered new era humanity.

An exhibition of children's drawings on a space theme opened today in Rostov: We are descendants of Gagarin. Space relay race-Rostov.

It was interesting to see how children imagine space, how they see the space future, what they expect from it and whether they dream of becoming astronauts.

Below the cut there are many photos from the exhibition.

You can conditionally divide the pictures into several categories. Some were distinguished by the detail of the technical part of the spacecraft:

(this one is generally done in pastels)

Others reflected the story:

Still others imagined everyday scenes space future:

Space trains, station, parking lots spaceships. The curtains on the windows of the train are magnificent!

And here we can see orbital stores: plants and flowers, household appliances, honey laboratory. I would venture to guess that the small buildings are fast food outlets: shawarma, vkusnolyubov, “coffee to go”, etc.

Of course, there were aliens:

Title of the drawing: "Hello, friend!" It's nice that the children are peaceful. The culture of aggression has not yet had time to spoil them. The theme of friendship and peaceful coexistence with aliens runs through all the drawings. There are no battle scenes anywhere.

Subtle humor and good imagination. Everything is wonderful here!

Catching stars

Attractions attached to the rings of Saturn.

A flying saucer with wheels!

No less than NEVZ launched its space electric locomotive :)

Nebulae and landscapes:

And some I just liked:

The ship and one spacesuit are made of foil.

There are a total of 152 drawings at the exhibition out of 15 educational institutions Rostov and region. There are many interesting works. The exhibition will be held from April 12 to 20 at the Rostov House of Children and Youth Creativity (formerly the Palace of Pioneers, Sadovaya, 53-55). Free admission.

The exhibition is important because it actualizes the theme of space as such. Children fantasize and draw interesting stories. But it’s sad that they stopped dreaming about space - to the question “what do you want to become?” None of the authors of the drawings answered “astronaut”. A football player, a lawyer, a businessman... Meanwhile, man and Humanity have a much higher purpose than business and football. We must do our best to kindle the thirst for space expansion and convey the value of this path. And the more active the space topic is on the agenda, the more chances we, earthlings, have to return to the path of development and achieve outstanding results on a universal scale!

Happy Cosmonautics Day everyone!

A week ago on our creative Instagram @miftvorchestvo we launched a competition for the best completion of the task from the notebook “642 ideas on what to draw”. The task sounded simple - space. A lot of creative and creative works. You can see them all by tag. We publish best works and give step-by-step master class how to learn to draw space.

Are they really cool? 🙂

Step-by-step master class

If you did not participate in the competition, but also want to learn how to draw space, save these somewhere step by step instructions, what and how to do so that it turns out bright and beautiful.

1. In order to draw the Universe, only 3-4 colors are enough. At least that's the amount you can start with. Important: The sheet for watercolors must be very dense so that it does not wrinkle from water and so that the paint spreads beautifully and evenly.

2. The outline can be drawn with a hard pencil to indicate the space that you will wet with water. Wet part of the allocated space.

3. Apply paint to the wetted area. Try to make the contours beautiful.

4. Wet the rest of the space with water and apply a different color of paint. Selectively add bright pops of color throughout the design. The drawing must be wet so that the paint flows beautifully.

5. Once the design is completely dry, apply the stars. This can be done white or yellow paint using an old toothbrush.

6. Some stars could be drawn more carefully.

If you sprinkle salt on a wet drawing, the structure of space will turn out even more interesting. The salt will absorb some of the paint, and if you shake it off after it has completely dried, there will be beautiful white dots and clouds in place of the salt.

On our creative Instagram @miftvorchestvo we will regularly hold competitions on notebooks “642 ideas, what to draw”, “642 ideas, what to write about” and “642 ideas, what else to write about” (new!). Subscribe to keep up to date with everything creative, interesting and creatively fun.

So the month of April has come... with hope for warmth and bright sunshine, with flowers and joy... Very soon the world will celebrate Cosmonautics Day. This is a holiday that includes important events And greatest discoveries, achievements of human civilization and the discovery of inaccessible secrets and worlds.

IN different times The children and I conducted various activities on the topic of Space; links to some of them will be at the end of the article and in. And today I invite you and your children to arm yourself with pencils and paints and go paint space!

Hooray! I announce the opening new section"Learning to Draw" and I invite you to meet the artist Julia, who shared her drawing skills with us.

How to draw space step by step

Drawings on the theme of space are a common April assignment in schools and kindergartens. Julia offers us two options space theme on different ages: for preschoolers and primary school students.

I know that many parents are categorically against templates and examples in drawing. But I am also convinced that in order to learn to draw, sometimes you need a push, an example, which, when embodied, the child will believe in himself and begin to reveal his capabilities and talents. Shall we try?

Drawing “Rocket in space” for children 4-5 years old.

The drawing is so simple and easy that it seems to me that it does not need additional descriptions. However, if you prefer the video format of the lesson, then watch this video:

Drawing on the theme “Space” for children 6-7 years old.

And here is the video MK of the rocket’s drawing, posted on ours:

These are the simple and accessible drawings about space that the artist Julia offered us today. And I am grateful to her for her beautiful creativity.

What do you think of these drawings about space? And what do you and your children like to draw on a given topic? By the way, you can send your drawings for this MK to me by email, I will post them in this article.
