Image techniques
Popular methods and techniques of depiction are represented by the use of nature, reproductions of paintings, a sample or any other visual aid. A nature is an object or phenomenon that a child must draw in the process of direct observation. At early preschool age, children can already perceive an object in the totality of its qualities.
But it is worth noting that depicting an object using a template or from life requires the ability to analyze the relationship of individual elements and their location in space.

Workspace organization
In order for a preschooler to be able to draw at home, he needs to prepare a workplace. The child must see the entire image, so to draw, you should take an easel or draw on the floor. Special attention should be paid to lighting, since the light should fall from the opposite side from the hand with which the baby is drawing.
An example of organizing a workplace for children
As for working materials, the water should be on the right (if the baby is left-handed, then on the left), the paints should be above the drawing or near the water, and the palette for mixing colors should be in the hands. If the palette stands near the paints, then during the work you can accidentally drip onto the painting, ruining it.
How to get your child interested in drawing
If a preschooler has even the slightest craving for drawing, parents should think about developing his abilities. To prevent your child from losing interest in creativity, you can enroll him in an art club, studio, or resort to individual training with a private teacher.
It is strictly not recommended to enroll a child in a specialized institution against his will. The toddler must attend classes with pleasure, otherwise it will not bring any results.
Recommendations from psychologists and teachers
During drawing classes, teachers do not recommend overloading children, otherwise, instead of enjoying a rich and interesting life, the child will suffer from fatigue and frayed nerves. If perseverance is not one of his virtues, then there is no need to force him to study, since he must come to this on his own.
By drawing, the baby develops certain abilities: visual assessment of shape, the ability to navigate in space, and feel colors. In addition, drawing classes bring joy to children and create a positive attitude. To complete easy tasks, you can use online programs.
How to teach a child to draw with pencils and paints step by step
In order for the toddler to draw with a pencil, you need to help the child hold it in the correct position. The parent should take the child’s hand with a pencil in his own, and then draw straight and wavy lines and simple shapes together. As soon as the preschooler masters simple large forms, you can complicate the tasks and begin to depict small details: a hare, a bullfinch, flowers in the spring or snowflakes in the winter.
Preschooler thinking: types and methods of development
As for learning to work with paints, it consists of several stages:
- prepare soft bristle brushes, a sippy cup, watercolor paints and a palette;
- teach your child to hold a brush and use it: pick up paint, apply it to the easel, blot and rinse;
- At the first stage, the little one must move a dry brush over the paper, determine the degree of pressure and the correctness of the movements.
The process of learning to paint with paints
You should draw step by step, starting with one color, gradually adding other shades. To begin with, it is recommended that the child draw strokes according to the diagram, lines and simple figures from closed contours to be painted.
