Preliminary work:

1 We look at photographs of cosmic depths.



2 We get acquainted with the history of astronautics, with the names and achievements of our outstanding cosmonauts. We remember the names: Yuri Gagarin, Valentina Tereshkova, Alexey Leonov. The world's first cosmonaut, the first woman in space, the first person to walk in open space. We look at the photographs, talk about the difficulties and delights of the profession of space explorers. How did test pilots become astronauts? What kind of training did they undergo? Let's take a closer look at the first human spacewalk.




2 - Thinking about space, UFOs, aliens. We discuss films and cartoons. We think what kind of aliens they might be: good or evil?

3 - Literary living room:

Arkady Khait
Any of us can name all the planets in order:
One - Mercury, two - Venus, three - Earth, four - Mars.
Five is Jupiter, six is ​​Saturn, seven is Uranus, followed by Neptune.
He is the eighth in a row. And after him, then,
And the ninth planet called Pluto.

V. Orlov
Flying in space
Steel ship around the Earth.
And even though its windows are small,
Everything is visible in them at a glance:
Steppe expanse, sea surf,
Or maybe you and me too!

Practical work No. 1: "Deep Space"


For drawing space landscape we will need stencils of circles of different diameters. You can use special rulers or various “improvised means”.


We draw several planets with wax crayons, placing them randomly on the plane of the sheet. You can use the technique of superimposing nearby planets on lower ones, or depict one of the planets only partially.


After creating the cosmic composition, crumple the sheet of paper, twisting it several times, and carefully straighten it


Coloring the planets. To prevent the planets from becoming like grandma’s balls of thread, we draw very carefully with crayons and do not go beyond the edges.
Before we start working in color, we remember what forests, mountains, deserts and oceans look like from space, and we think about whether all planets can look the same? Fiery and foggy, sandy, gaseous and icy - they can look absolutely fantastic. We come up with complex color combinations.


Cover the entire sheet with black watercolor. The paint, accumulating in the cracks, creates the mysterious depth of outer space.

Practical work No. 2: “Staying in outer space”



For this work we will need a figurine of an astronaut in a spacesuit, circles of various diameters and a silhouette of a rocket.



We place all the figures on the sheet in random order. We start with a rocket and an astronaut. Then we add the planets.



Inside the silhouettes we delimit planes. We add windows to the rocket and divide the spacesuit into separate parts. We begin to gradually color the rocket, the astronaut and the planets. In order to create a festive atmosphere, we take bright, rich colors.




Adding stars. We take yellow and white crayons. We post them in small groups, in the form of constellations, or lined up (like the Milky Way). Each star is a distant, distant sun, around which planets can revolve and there can be life on them.


We take a brush and black paint (watercolor or gouache) and begin to paint over the entire work. First we draw lines along the edge of the sheet, then we work along the entire sheet.



While the paint is not dry, “salt” the drawing. In the place where a grain of salt fell, the paint seems to collect, and with the help of this space technical reception again becomes deep and mysterious.


Children's work (5-6 years old)





Drawing options
Flying saucers (UFOs) can be very diverse. Turning on our imagination, we imagine aircrafts aliens.

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 time 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 for the space theme: 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.

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, 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 space theme will be 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!

Even before visiting kindergarten, children pay attention to the fact that night follows day, and the Sun follows the Moon. And since children are very inquisitive, they enthusiastically ask their parents what the sky is, why it is blue, and where the Sun goes. The universe is of particular interest to children because everything unknown seems mysterious and magical. The task of parents is to tell their children about the planets, space and astronauts in an accessible, children's language. We bring to your attention ideas for stories about space for children, suitable pictures and interesting cartoons. Devote your weekend amazing journey to the world of stars and planets.

About space for children: talking about the stars

The Universe for children is an unusual and amazing world in which the Sun and Stars shine brightest. To get acquainted with the bright night “pebbles”, invite your child to take a walk in the evening. Show him that there are many in the sky bright stars, they flicker mysteriously. In fact, they are not as small as they seem. IN real size- these are huge hot balls of gas: the hottest ones shine blue, others - red. They are different sizes. The most famous and brightest stars are Polaris and Sirius. The beloved warm Sun is also a star, the most important for us and our planet Earth. There are also colorful constellations in the sky - silhouettes of bright Stars. For example, the Big and Little Dipper.

Space for children: exploring the planets

Around main Star, the Sun, 9 planets rotate, as well as other planets and asteroids. They are all different sizes and located at different distances relative to the Earth on which we live. It is generally accepted that this is the only inhabited by people planet, no life has been found on others.

To study the location of planets in space, pictures for children will be a great help.

Poems that describe planets from the point of view of distance can also help you. Here's one of them.

2. How to draw space. Drawing using the "passepartout" technique

This is a very unusual and fascinating drawing technique. First, as in the previous technique, you need to color a sheet of paper with colored wax crayons. The result is a bright, colorful rug. After this, draw templates of planets, flying saucers, space rockets, stars, etc. Cut out the templates. On a thick sheet of black paper, lay out the cut out templates in the form of a composition. Trace them with a pencil, then cut out the silhouettes using nail scissors. Note: This step of the job must be performed by an adult. Now place a black sheet of paper with cut out silhouettes on the “rug” painted with crayons. The drawing of space using the passe-partout technique is ready. Link to the original source.

The suite consists of 7 parts - according to the number of planets solar system(excluding Earth) known at the time of writing. We invite you to conduct the following interesting activity with your child, dedicated to the theme of space, on the eve of Cosmonautics Day.

Give it to the child large leaf paper and paint. Ask him with a simple pencil Divide the sheet into four equal parts. Now let him listen to any 4 parts of the suite in turn (for example, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus). Listening to every part piece of music, he must depict on canvas the emotions and feelings that this music evokes in him. Children, as a rule, really like this kind of work. This is what one of our students drew.

From the resulting abstract paintings Then you can cut out the planets and stick them on a sheet of black paper. The drawing for Cosmonautics Day is ready!

These charming aliens are drawn using such an unconventional painting technique as blowing paint through a straw (plastic tube). What is this technique?

Using a brush (or pipette), apply paint diluted with water onto a sheet of paper to create a spot of paint on the sheet. After this, we blow on the paint through a straw, it spreads in different directions and we get a weirdly shaped spot. When the paint is dry, we add all the necessary details to our alien.

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 keep 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.
