Integrated lesson - modeling on the topic “Pets”

Stage of preparation for the lesson “Child and kitten”

Before giving the figure any pose, you need to sculpt all the elements

Children continue to master the skill of creating stucco compositions on a plane, which they began in the middle group, that is, the figures rest on the base with individual parts of the body (legs, paws). At the same time, the proportions and volumes of bodies, as well as the relationship of all parts of the composition, are preserved.

Modeling methods

By the age of 6–7, children are quite confident in 3 ways of creating figures from plasticine, the development of which, according to regulatory documents, is part of the educational program of the kindergarten. The guys own

• constructive technique, that is, they are able to create a single whole figure from individual parts;
• sculptural - silhouettes are sculpted from a single piece of material;
• combined technique, when both sculptural and constructive methods are combined in one craft.

To create human and animal figures, it is convenient to use a combined technique, so that large parts (torso, arms, legs, etc.) are sculpted from one piece, and small parts (palms, paws, tail, etc.) are added separately.

Techniques

By the preparatory group, children have a good command of basic modeling techniques

In the preparatory group, children consolidate their mastery of 11 techniques for creating figures from plastic material:

• rolling (creating “balls”);
• rolling (making “sausages”);
• indentation (forming depressions on the workpiece with your fingers);
• flattening (creating “pancakes” from round parts);
• pinching (pinching a piece of plasticine and flattening it);
• pulling (pulling a piece from the workpiece);
• accession;
• smearing (placing elements on a base and then smearing the boundaries of their connection);
• pinching (pinching a piece, but without subsequent flattening);
• stretching (creating an elongated shape of elements while maintaining their proportionality);
• smoothing (formation of smooth transitions of elements into each other).

What can children do?

As already mentioned, the kids in the preparatory group have already become familiar with all types and techniques of modeling, so it’s time to “hone their skills.” In addition, in both the middle and senior groups they were already engaged in sculpting human and animal figures. In the preparatory room they combine these compositions into a single one. By the time they worked on the topic, the kids had already created

• static figure of a person/animal;
• they made a little man in motion (for example, they sculpted little soldiers);
• created a single composition “Different animals in their habitat” (farm, forest);
• complemented the composition with a person with objects (“Boy with a ball”, “Girl with a jump rope”, etc.).

When creating a composition, children can independently determine

• shapes of parts (arms, legs, paws, heads, etc.);
• the pose of the figure in a specific composition (rotation of the head, movements of the arms, legs, paws, torso, etc.);
• color scheme for a specific composition;
• position of figures in space.

Composition options on the theme “Child with a kitten”

Instead of a kitten, children can sculpt a dog or other pet, depending on the topic they covered.

In addition to a child playing with a cat (kitten), the goals and objectives of the lesson can be realized when considering other topics. Among them

• “A girl and/or a boy are playing with a kitten”;
• “A child plays with a puppy”;
• “A child feeds the birds”;
• "Animal in motion";
• "Man on the move."

Additional materials

The methodological recommendations for working with plasticine in the preparatory group state that children should use as little additional materials as possible when working with figures of people and animals. This is due to the fact that when creating small parts, such as eyes, kids need to pinch off very small pieces of plasticine, which trains fine motor skills and the eye. But when using beads and rhinestones, such work is minimized. Nevertheless, you can add elements to the composition in the form

• sequins (for decorating clothes);
• ribbons (for background decoration);
• matches (if you plan to create the limbs of the figures in a constructive way and on a frame);
• beads (for eyes, nose), etc.

How to implement an individual approach?

As part of the work on sculpting human and animal figures in motion, the teacher provides an individual approach using various compositional tasks. So, for example, the task may vary in

• the direction of the figures’ movements (“The kitten looks to the left, the child looks to the right” or vice versa);
• pose of a person or animal (sitting, standing);
• attracting additional elements into the composition (sculpting a ball, leash).

Modeling in the preparatory group: how to make the lesson interesting

Ways to motivate children

Children’s own drawings can be used as visual materials.

This is interesting. Russian Soviet writer, classic of Russian literature K.G. Paustovsky wrote: “The impulse to creativity can fade away just as easily as it arose if it is left without food.”

How effective the entire lesson will be depends on the way in which the teacher insists that children work. Techniques for motivating children can be different - an adult combines them depending on the specific modeling task, the level of development of the children, their temperament and interests.

Conversation and visibility

These two ways to interest little creators go together because without a visual image it is difficult for children to imagine a picture, and without dialogue it is impossible to rationally organize work. So, as visual materials you can use

• pictures and photos of kids playing with pets;
• individual images (can be enlarged) of animals, in particular, faces, figures of a boy/girl;
• presentations, cartoons showing moving objects;
• posters, toys, etc.

The conversation can be built solely on the basis of what is seen (“Who is shown in the picture?”, “What is the animal/child in the photo doing/in what position is it standing?”), but you can also preface it with a few questions regarding what type of animal the cat belongs to/ dog, do the kids have pets, what kind, do they like to play, etc. Kids can answer either individually or in chorus. The main thing is to stay within the time frame - you shouldn’t spend more than 5-6 minutes on motivation.

Poems

Children love to listen to poetry, since the structure of their memory is such that they memorize rhymed lines faster and easier than adults.

• No, it was in vain that we decided to take the cat for a ride in the car: the cat was not used to riding - he overturned the truck.
• Paws and a tail, and funny ears that stick out in corners on the top of the head, fluffy fur, mischievous eyes... Listen, you didn’t come running to us from a fairy tale? Again the ball unwound around the apartment - There is no better entertainment in the world!
• My cunning-eyed puppy, Woolen paws... Who is it that chewed on our brand new slippers? I see the answer in the eyes: No, it’s not me, no, no! The slippers went into my mouth on their own and accidentally came apart...

Songs

This technique not only motivates the children, but can also be a good accompaniment for physical education or finger gymnastics.

Scheme for developing lesson notes

The teacher must definitely think about how to seat the children so that they do not interfere with each other

In order for a modeling lesson on creating a figure of a person playing with an animal to be successful, drawing up a work plan should begin with the formulation of goals and objectives.

Goals:

• teach how to compose a complex composition consisting of 2 objects in dynamics;
• continue to work on developing the ability to maintain proportions;
• cultivate patience and independence.

Tasks:

• repeat the basic geometric shapes - the basics of blanks for figures;
• develop the ability to convey the movement of objects using design;
• continue to practice sculpting techniques;
• consolidate the skill of conveying the dynamics of the human and animal body in plastic material;
• continue to develop the skill of working with a stack to create relief of elements;
• develop fine motor skills and eye;
• cultivate aesthetic taste and accuracy when working with plastic materials.

The development of notes should include clear timing of each stage of the lesson.

• The introductory part (5 minutes) is the time to involve children in work, that is, for motivation.
• The main stage (20 minutes) is sculpting a composition, as well as finger gymnastics and physical education.
• Final stage (5 minutes). The teacher praises the children’s productive work, the kids exhibit their compositions at an impromptu exhibition, evaluate their crafts and the crafts of their comrades, answering a number of questions (“Did I work well?”, “What did I do especially well?”, “What figures do I like?” more than others?”, “Why?”, “What did I like/dislike during the lesson?”).

Examples of writing lesson notes

The first example describes how to create a craft in a constructive way. If a human figurine is made with its help, then parts of the body can be moved and given the necessary pose. The main thing is to adhere all the parts well to each other.

Sequence of work on the craft

"The kitten arches its back"

In order for the craft to turn out neatly, first a muzzle is formed on the head, and then the entire structure is attached to the body

Instructions:

1. “Guys, take a piece of black plasticine and roll it into a sausage.”
2. “Using a stack, we make a cut for the paws at both ends, pull it out and smooth it.”
3. “Now we give the shape of a curved back, pressing the front legs down, and the hind legs, on the contrary, resting on the plane.”
4. “We roll out a piece of plasticine into a thin sausage-tail, give it a curved shape and apply it to the base.”
5. “Let’s get to the head. Let's form a ball."
6. “We make a face from a small piece of material by rolling it into a short and thick sausage.”
7. “We attach the muzzle to the head.”
8. “We pinch off pieces for the ears, giving them a triangular shape, and place them on the head.”
9. “We roll small balls for eyes from white plasticine.”
10. “On the eyes we show pupils made of green pancakes.”
11. “The pink ball represents the nose.”
12. “We make thin sausage-mustaches from yellow plasticine, attach them with two tufts on the muzzle.”
13. “We glue the head to the body.”

"The kitten is lying"

Children can choose their own color scheme for the animal

This craft is made in a constructive way.

Instructions:

1. “We roll a ball out of plasticine, then we form it into a cylinder for the body.”
2. “We form 5 not too thin sausages, attach 2 of them in place of the front legs, 2 in place of the hind legs, and make one a little thinner by stretching it and attach it to the back - this is the tail.”
3. “We bend the hind legs in a semicircle, secure the front legs parallel to the body - this is how we give the kitten a lying position.”
4. “Let’s get to the head. Let's roll a ball."
5. “We pinch off 2 pieces of plasticine, form each one into a ball, and then stretch it into a cone - these are the kitten’s ears. We attach them to our heads.”
6. “We make eyes from small white pancakes, the pupils - also in the form of pancakes - are applied to a white base.”
7. “We place the eyes on the muzzle.”
8. “We show the mouth with a thin sausage made of pink plasticine, and apply slightly thicker and shorter strips to the back.”

"A boy is hiding from a kitten"

In order for the figurine to be stronger, it is necessary to use a frame in the form of matches or toothpicks for the legs.

For this craft we need frames for thin legs. You can use either matches (more convenient) or toothpicks.

Instructions:

1. “We make a ball from a piece of brown plasticine, then roll it into a cylinder and flatten it slightly.”
2. “From pieces of material of the same color we make 2 sausages for hands.”
3. “We glue the arms to the body.”
4. “We make a ball from a small piece of black plasticine, then a pancake, slightly widening towards the bottom - these are boy shorts.”
5. “We cut the wide part a little to make 2 trouser legs.”
6. “We glue the shorts to the body.”
7. “We coat the matches with plasticine. To do this, we roll out a piece of material into a pancake, wrap a match in it and smooth out the layers.”
8. “We make ovals from blue plasticine and insert legs into them.”
9. “We wrap yellow sausages around our ankles and use small stripes to show the laces on our shoes.”
10. “We make ovals for the palms from white plasticine, bend them in half and attach them to the brown parts.”
11. “Roll a sausage for the neck.”
12. “We make a ball for the head, “put” it on the neck, then attach 2 ear pancakes.”
13. “We show our nose with a small ball.”
14. “We use pancakes of different sizes to represent the eyes and pupils.”
15. “We use a stack to make a slot for the mouth.”
16. “We show eyebrows with thin black stripes.”
17. “We make a pancake for a hat from black plasticine, “put on” the headdress, and apply it to the head.”
18. “We use a stack to make a knitted pattern on a hat.”
19. “We use yellow stripes to show the placket and collar of the shirt, as well as the sleeves.”

"The child is sitting"

To make the figure sit, you need to smear the parts of the body well together

This version of sculpting a child can be presented in several versions. So, the head of the craft can be a blank from a toy or made of plasticine, but the facial features are drawn with a pencil or paints (in this case, it is better to give the children a finished part in order to save time and the work is done carefully). Let's consider the progress of the torso and limbs. The sculptural method is used to make them.

Instructions:

1. “Cut a piece of pink plasticine to the middle.”
2. “We roll sausages out of two parts, point them down - these are the handles of the figure.”
3. “We take a piece of yellow plasticine and also cut it.”
4. “We roll two sausages, but do not bend them - these are the legs.”
5. “We make ovals from brown material, press them in and attach the legs.”
6. “We form 2 oval mittens from the orange color and attach them to the hands.”
7. “We coat the parts of the body and bend them at right angles.”

Photo gallery: children's works made of plasticine

Children can make not ordinary babies, but, for example, aliens who have fallen to Earth and become acquainted with domestic animals. To create a figure with arms spread wide apart, the parts of the limbs must be carefully smeared onto the body

This craft is made in a constructive way

Instead of a kitten, you can sculpt a puppy - this is one of the ways to individualize your work on a craft.

The simplicity of the figurine is compensated by its small size - working with such a craft is quite difficult

Step-by-step execution of individual compositions

Let's consider the step-by-step creation of images that a child can play with.

Kitten: modeling using the sculptural method

1. From a plasticine ball we draw out parts of the kitten’s body: four legs of the same size, a long tail and a large head.

   The paws should be the same size and the tail should be long.

2. We work on the image: we give the ears a triangular shape, stretch them out, and playfully bend the tail at the end, smoothing out all the irregularities.

   We work on the image in more detail, smooth out unevenness

3. The final stage is to make the cat’s eyes. To do this, we flatten two small white balls and mark the pupils with black.

   The final stage is making the kitten’s eyes

Kitty: modeling using constructive method

1. From plasticine of the same color we prepare two large balls and six small ones.

   The basis of the work is plasticine balls of two sizes

2. From one large ball we form an oval (the body of the cat), from the other we separate a small part and roll out a sausage (tail), the rest will become the head. Four small balls are transformed into paws, the fifth into ears, the sixth into cheeks and nose.

   We use balloons to make all the details of the cat’s image.

3. We fasten the parts together. To connect the head to the body, we use a match or a toothpick; all other elements are simply pressed and glued to each other. By the way, using matches you can also attach the legs - then they will be movable.

   To connect the parts you can use matches, by the way, then the legs will be movable

4. We complement the image with green eyes with black pupils and a pink tongue. Cute kitten is ready. We give him some pose, for example, he licks his paw.

   We work on the kitten’s face and give it a certain pose

Funny puppy sitting: step-by-step modeling in a constructive way

1. The basis of the image will be a large head. We fashion it from a brown ball, add expressive details on top - a white tubercle and a semicircle. We also make small triangular ears separately.

   The puppy will have a big head

2. We assemble a curious face: we attach ears to the head, a small white spot, black eyes, and add a brown nose. We form the mouth with a stack.

   Assembling the face and decorating it using small parts

3. Let's move on to the rest of the body. We remember that the head should be larger than the body - this will make the puppy seem cuter and funnier. We make an oval body from white plasticine, white legs (they will be brown at the tips) and a small brown tail.

   The dog's body should not be larger than its head

4. We collect body parts. We fasten the head and body with a match, simply press the paws and tail to the body. Add brown pads to the bottom of the paws. We give the puppy a touching pose and defiantly hold out its tail.

   We give the dog a cute pose and set its tail beautifully
