All kids love to draw! And if they don't? After all, there are children who cannot be persuaded to pick up a felt-tip pen or a paintbrush. Should we leave them as they are or try to get them interested in other kinds of creativity? Today - on the Day of Creativity and Inspiration - we will show you 5 unusual drawing techniques that you can introduce to your child. What if it inspires them to create their own masterpieces?
Conventional materials in the work
Milk
You'll need a bowl of milk, watercolors, a brush.
The technique is similar to ebru painting. Except that painting on the waterand we suggest using milk. Firstly, there is no need to add a special extract that makes the water more viscous. Milk itself contains fat and retains the colors on the surface. Secondly, this way you get brighter colors.
How to draw? Make streaks of paint on the milk, and then gently lay a piece of paper on the surface to transfer the drawing to it. Don't forget to dry it.
Wax shavings
You will need: wax crayons, sharpener, paper.
Sharpen crayons of different colors, arrange the shavings on a piece of paper in any abstract pattern and put the sheet briefly in the microwave to melt the shavings. Don't forget to cool it down.
Colored threads
You will need: any colorful threads, cardboard, glue, pencil
Use a pencil to draw an outline. Use glue to draw lines on top of the pencil and glue the outline with thread. If you want a clearer outline, use a thicker thread. You can also glue the empty parts with thread or leave only the thread outline.
Salt
You will need: paper, salt, glue, paint.
Similar to threading, draw a picture with a simple pencil and apply glue around the outline. Before the glue dries, sprinkle salt on it. Shake off the excess. You will have a "frosty" contour. If desired, you can paint it with paints.
Liquid soap
You will need: paints, paper, liquid soap.
Add a little liquid soap to watercolor paints and stir until lightly foamy. Such paints leave beautiful traces of bursting bubbles on the paper
