Children's drawings on the theme of the Russian army. Features of drawing on military themes in the preparatory group of a preschool institution. Photo gallery: military portraits

Military pencil drawings can be created step by step even for young children. There are a lot of lessons and instructions on the Internet, as well as pictures for sketching, which allow you to independently transfer various types of military equipment onto paper.

Boys will like to draw drawings on a military theme in pencil, but such pictures can also be created by girls, for example, on the eve of a big holiday on May 9 or February 23. On Victory Day, the drawing will be an excellent gift for veterans or relatives who served in the army.

Military aircraft pencil drawing

A military aircraft can look interesting in the form of a simple pencil drawing without coloring with paints or colored pencils. First, you should check if you have the tools necessary to create an art project:

• ruler;
• pencil;
• blank sheet of paper;
• eraser.

If possible, choose hard and soft pencils, which are convenient for making auxiliary lines or drawing the main ones. The following simple instructions will allow little artists to create their own beautiful military aircraft on paper.

1. We create the main lines that serve as the basis for placing the plane on the leaf. Using a ruler, draw a long line, which we tilt down slightly. The second will intersect the first, you need to lead it from the lower left corner of the leaf to the upper right, this is the basis for the wings and tail. To make the tail of the plane realistic, add a small short line on the first main line, it should be perpendicular.
2. If the lines are not a good enough guide for drawing the correct shape of the plane, we create additional points that serve as the edges of the nose, tail and wings of the object. It is recommended to start from the far right point, where the nose will be located.
3. We draw the airplane cabin with smooth lines. Movements should be smooth; you should not press the pencil on the paper. The cockpit lines should taper slightly as you approach the leftmost point, where the tail of the aircraft is located.
4. From the main lines of the cockpit, focusing on the second auxiliary lines with the same soft and smooth movements, we draw the wings of the aircraft.
5. An important step that completes the base is drawing the tail. On military aircraft, the tail can have different shapes, with additional elements, so it is advisable to look at the example drawing and ask the child to copy the finished shape.
6. The last step is adding important elements to bring the plane to life. A child can add various emblems to the aircraft body; he cannot do without drawing the front glass and side windows.
7. After the lines are drawn, using an eraser, auxiliary lines and points are removed, unnecessary strokes that were the basis of the sketch.

All drawings of military equipment in pencil are created on this basis: auxiliary lines intersecting in the right places, as a guide for creating basic contours.

Warship pencil drawing

Military pencil drawings allow a child not only to understand the basics of creating complex drawings, but also to study the structure of various vehicles. Many children enjoy creating a warship and a pencil drawing that requires following instructions.

Unlike the previous drawing, children begin the art project by drawing the waves of the sea, which are located at the bottom of the paper. Waves are curved lines that young artists can draw.

On the waves you need to place one horizontal line without tilting. A ruler will come to the rescue with this. The length of the main horizontal line should be of average length, taking into account the fact that additional lines will diverge to the sides, continuing the base of the ship's hull; they are made using a ruler. To do this, the ruler is placed slightly at an angle towards the outer sides of the leaf. You can connect these two lines with one solid line. The ship's base is ready.

Next, you should focus on the example picture, from which the cabin compartments and deck details are copied. The guns must be drawn, and the main “highlight” of such a creation will be the ship’s flag. An important detail of the drawing. Finally, several curved wave lines are added around the ship to create the illusion of military transport moving.

Such military pencil drawings for children may seem simple at first glance, but with the help of shading they decorate the picture, and if desired, they add a little color with the help of paints.

Soldier drawing

A pencil drawing of a military soldier can be made by small children. The main thing is to first practice repeating basic geometric shapes and learn how to make neat lines.
As in the case of drawing a military airplane with a pencil for children, it is worth creating several auxiliary lines with which the proportions of the soldier’s body will be correct.

1. First, let's work on the markup. The frame of the drawing is the basis of the soldier’s body. On the vertical line at the top we draw an oval, which serves as the base for the head. Just below he draws two trapezoids - the base of the body. From the trapezoid we make lines for the arms and lines below for the legs. An important point is that the drawing is made larger in order to clearly display all the details.
2. In the oval area, for accuracy, you can create auxiliary lines with thin strokes: one horizontally, just above the center of the oval, the second vertical, clearly in the center, crossing the area of ​​the soldier’s future face. From the oval on the sides we draw ears with neat curved lines. Along the auxiliary horizontal line we add eyes and exactly above them two souls of eyebrows. In the lower part there will be a nose, and between the created details of the face. You can add bangs on top of the oval.
3. Let's draw the cap. If it is difficult to replicate its shape, you can settle on a small triangle that “sits” exactly on top of the oval.
4. From the oval down to the trapezoids with smooth lines.
5. From the neck we move on to drawing the shape of the body, making the trapezoid less angular. At this stage, you can immediately work on such details as a collar, other clothing items in the form of a belt and shoulder straps.
6. Don't forget about pockets, buttons and a star on the strap.
7. The lower part is trousers. Kids should help with them, because not all little artists will be able to repeat the lines of the folds of trousers. We finish this part with boots.
8. Step by step, slowly, we draw the arms and sleeves of the uniform, from which the soldier’s hands can be seen. It is not necessary to draw the hands in detail. Kids can stop at the schematic image.

Drawing in kindergarten should not only develop the visual skills of preschoolers, but also carry cognitive significance, helping to foster certain moral qualities, in particular, love and respect for the Motherland. So, in the preparatory group, the children are invited to draw on the theme “Our dear army.” This complex and exciting work develops in children a respectful attitude towards military professions and awakens interest in domestic military equipment.

Features of drawing on military themes in the preparatory group of a preschool institution

Works on military themes in the preparatory group mostly relate to plot drawing. At this age, children already understand well that objects in life or in a picture are in a certain relationship with each other.

Drawing training on the theme “Our dear army” is carried out in two aspects. This is an image of different types of military equipment: ground, air and sea. The teacher shows the children posters and thematic pictures, talks about the structure and characteristics of each combat vehicle. After this, the teacher explains in detail to the children the technique of drawing each of these objects. Note that step-by-step drawing schemes will be of great help in such work.

Another direction for depicting war scenes is drawing the human figure. Here, too, the main principle is clarity: the child must know and see the object depicted in the picture or photograph.

The difficulty of drawing a person in works on military themes is that he needs to be conveyed in movement. For example, this is a paratrooper descending from the sky, a sniper shooting, soldiers marching in formation, etc. Although sometimes in the preparatory group for school they practice such an option as a portrait of a soldier or their dad in military uniform. Such activities, as a rule, are timed to coincide with a holiday - Defender of the Fatherland Day.

It should be noted that drawing on a military theme (as well as sculpting and appliqué) captivates boys more, because they love such games (with soldiers, cars, airplanes, etc.).

To interest girls too, we again emphasize the importance of using step-by-step instructions. Based on such diagrams, the child will easily achieve results and be satisfied with his work - he will draw not only military equipment, but also a moving soldier. In addition, step-by-step image diagrams successfully replace the teacher’s model, because in the preparatory group it is practically not used.

An important final stage of the lesson is the analysis and discussion of children's drawings. The teacher teaches preschoolers to see the strengths and weaknesses of their work and asks them to think about how they could complement the composition. It is also important at the end of the lesson to once again emphasize the patriotic orientation of the military theme.

The most appropriate materials and basis for work

Compositions on the theme “Our dear army” are made with a variety of materials: watercolors, colored pencils, and wax crayons. It is quite appropriate to combine materials when the drawing itself is done with watercolors or pencils, and the outline of the objects is drawn with a black felt-tip pen or gel pen.

Drawing with pencils and felt-tip pen

The sketch of the plot composition is made with a simple pencil. This will make the image more realistic and build a better composition. At this age, you can also practice completely graphic drawings - military themes are conducive to this.

The basis for drawing on the theme “Our dear army” is traditional sheets of A4 paper. Note that when painting with paints, preschoolers first tint them to the desired shade. This is a blue tone - when depicting fighter planes (as an option - the night sky), paratroopers descending by parachute, warships. In other cases, a green or yellowish background would be appropriate. The base for collective works, which has a larger format, is tinted in a similar way.

Techniques and techniques used in drawing on military themes by preparatory group students

In the school preparatory group, previously learned visual techniques are improved. Preschoolers already have well-developed hand coordination; finger movements become free and precise.

To draw rounded lines, children use a smooth turn of the hand, learn to draw long lines without interruption, and use the same technique to depict large details. Smaller elements (for example, a soldier's facial features) are indicated by short strokes. Preschoolers are also fluent in different ways of working with a brush (painting with the entire bristle and tip).

Before drawing various objects of a military composition, it is useful for the child to make several test sketches on an additional sheet of paper. For example, when depicting a soldier, you should first schematically designate a human figure in a certain pose. The next stage is drawing the face, headdress, clothes and shoes. The final work is painting the object.

The teacher should also draw children's attention to the proportional relationship of parts of the human body. For example, the length of the head is taken as a scale unit. The height of the body should be approximately 7 times greater. The length of the body, including the head, corresponds to the length of the legs. The drawn soldier's arms should reach approximately mid-thigh. Preschoolers often draw a person's shoulders as too narrow - the teacher should warn children against this mistake (the width of the shoulders corresponds to two scale units).

In order for preschoolers to be able to draw a dynamic human figure well, their attention should be paid to the position of their arms and legs when walking and running. This is easy to demonstrate with one of the children - the child, at the direction of the teacher, takes some pose, and the other children watch him. An excellent visual aid in this case will be a movable model of a human figure, which the teacher can easily make on his own.

This visual aid will help preschoolers draw a human figure in dynamics.

After the guys learn how to convey movement, they will be able to draw a soldier in his clothes without using auxiliary guide lines.

The depiction of various types of military equipment also has its own specifics. T So, when drawing a tank, large details are drawn first: a long oval - caterpillars, two tiers of the upper part. The next stage is the development of smaller details: wheels inside the caterpillar, paths in the form of short strokes, the tank turret and the hatch cover. The moving part of the gun is depicted as a small rectangle with a long barrel. To make the design look like a real tank, you should draw a star on the turret body or indicate a number.

Visual aid for preschoolers

Drawing a military aircraft begins with a horizontal line. Then the body is depicted with a pointed nose, and at the other end there is a tail in the shape of a truncated triangle, tilted to the side. Then the wings of the aircraft are drawn, diverging to the sides at an angle to the body. The basic silhouette is complemented by details - the cockpit (semi-oval), engine, stars on the wings, number, etc.

Visual aid for preschoolers

Note that when drawing a plot, it is important to correctly build a composition. To do this, it is important to use the entire space of the base and convey the reduced size of the removed objects.

When drawing on a military theme, it is quite possible to use unconventional methods. For example, original works are produced using the grattage technique, when an image is scratched with a sharp wooden stick (toothpick) on a black gouache background. The drawing will be more impressive if, under a layer of gouache, the sheet is painted over with multi-colored wax crayons.

Drawing using non-traditional scratch technique

Additional types of visual activities that can be used when creating works, implementation of an individual approach in the classroom

In order for each child to show his or her individuality in the drawing process, the teacher must create an atmosphere of joy and creativity in the lesson. To do this, children are invited to diversify the composition with additional types of visual activities, in particular applicative and plasticine elements.

For example, the upper part of a drawn tank can be decorated with an appliqué of cereals or small pebbles.

Drawing with applique elements

An original creative solution is to decorate the wheels of a tank or other combat vehicle in the form of large black buttons or cotton pads painted black. Military equipment can be decorated with a paper star, flag or St. George ribbon.

Another option for integrating types of visual activity is the inclusion of plasticineography elements in the drawing. For example, a combination of painted airplanes and plasticine tanks in a composition.

Variants of compositions (individual and collective) on the theme “Our dear army”

Traditionally, drawing on the theme “Our Dear Army” is offered to preparatory group students in February on the eve of the celebration of Defenders of the Fatherland Day. The guys create images based on an educational conversation about the army, based on the plots of literary works. These are various scenes from the life of the military - infantrymen, paratroopers, artillerymen, pilots, sailors, etc., as well as drawings of military equipment. In addition, the following specific topics can be proposed: “Border guard on duty”, “Soldiers in the ranks”, “Sea borders of the army”, “Tank crews”, “Landing”.

This type of work could be interpreted as creating a holiday card for your dad or grandpa. Also, as an option, you can invite preschoolers to draw a portrait of their soldier dad (as he was during his service in the army).

Drawing on a military theme can easily be timed to coincide with another patriotic holiday - Victory Day. This could be a “Parade of Military Equipment” or other works demonstrating the power of the Russian army.

As for collective compositions, the teacher can organize work in subgroups on the following topics: “Warships at sea”, “Fighter aircraft”, “Military battle”.

Organization of a motivating beginning of direct educational activities: demonstration of pictures, educational conversation, reading a story, poem, etc.

Even when drawing on such a serious topic as “Our Army,” the teacher should not forget about the importance of play motivation. For example, a lesson can begin with the group receiving a letter from the Museum of Modern Military Equipment. There are not enough exhibits for the children's art hall, and therefore the exhibition may be disrupted - the children's help is urgently needed. Without a doubt, children will happily respond to such a request.

You can tell preschoolers interesting facts about the Russian Armed Forces, but you should not overload children with theoretical information so that they do not lose interest in creative activities. For example, at the beginning of a drawing lesson on the topic “Tanks”, the children learn that this powerful machine is super stable and is able to move even in hard-to-reach places. The tank doesn’t care about steep ravines or shallow rivers; it can float through the water like a boat.

The most formidable missiles, it turns out, are located deep underground, in mines. They are guarded by rocket soldiers. Such missiles can fly a thousand kilometers in a few seconds and still hit the target.

Before drawing on the topic “Soldiers in the ranks”, it is worth telling the children about the infantrymen. This is the driving force of the army. Every day, such soldiers improve their physical strength in order to repel the enemy if necessary, and regularly participate in military exercises. A soldier must be brave, strong, resilient, but at the same time smart - to handle weapons correctly.

If the theme of the drawing is “Sea Frontiers of the Army,” then you can tell the children interesting facts about patrol ships - one of the types of military sea transport. If a foreign ship illegally crosses Russian territory, the sailors from the patrol ship invite it to leave our borders. If the intruder does not react to this, then they have the right to open fire on him, capture him and even drown him.

Another type of military vessel is an aircraft carrier. Interestingly, the deck of this ship is wide and flat, similar to a football field. It can even accommodate military aircraft and helicopters. The aircraft carrier is equipped with radars and locators that are capable of destroying enemy missiles directly from the ship.

The formidable force of the Navy is the submarine. This “invisible” thing, made of super durable material, resembles a huge fish. Powerful equipment allows submariners to see even objects on the surface of the water. A submarine is capable of approaching an enemy warship unnoticed and destroying it.

The story about military technology should be summarized by the fact that any weapon becomes a formidable force only in experienced and skillful hands.

Motivation for drawing on the theme “Our Army is Dear” can also be gleaned from numerous literary works. These are stories about the Great Patriotic War by S. Baruzdin “A Soldier Walked Down the Street”, L. Kassil “Your Defenders”, Y. Strekhnin “City of the Brave”, Y. Makarenko “Victory Banner”, Y. Gribov “The Tale of Praskovya Malinina”, N. Bukina “Yashka the artilleryman”.

For example, vivid scenes from the life of the Armed Forces are presented in an excerpt from L. Kassil’s story “Your Defenders”:

“...You slept well at night, and the border guards stood guard all night so that no one would sneak onto our land or get to us with evil intent. And those who guard our sky were on duty all night at their posts. And in the morning, when the birds were still sleeping, planes rose high into the sky. Experienced commanders began to teach young pilots how to fly. Our ships raised their flags at dawn and sailed across the seas and waves. Old captains began to teach young sailors about naval service. You are still sleeping in the morning, and the tankers are already starting the engines of their combat vehicles. And the infantry soldiers have already gone out into the field for training with a marching song...”

You can also give examples of wonderful poems about the Russian army, which can also be used in visual arts classes:

O. Vysotskaya

Our army is dear

And brave and strong.

Without threatening anyone,

She protects us.

That's why we love since childhood

Class notes

Ready-made compositions for students with comments on how to complete the work, step-by-step drawing diagrams

"Military equipment"

A real parade of military equipment is presented in the drawings of the preparatory group students. In this regard, the works “Strength and Power of Russia”, “Parade of Military Equipment on May 9”, “Parade of Military Equipment”, “On Land, Air and Sea” are especially indicative. Preschoolers realistically depict a variety of military vehicles: fighter planes, tanks, lifting towers, anti-aircraft missile launchers, military trucks.

One of the favorite image objects among young artists is a tank. We especially note the dynamic compositions “Russian tank in battle” and “Tank in battle”, which convey the atmosphere of battle.

An anti-aircraft missile launcher moves against the backdrop of picturesque hills (“Anti-aircraft missile launcher”). Artillery equipment is depicted in the drawing “My Grandfather”; we also note here the beautiful typically Russian landscape.

We see a wonderful military aircraft in the drawing of the same name: the structure of the vehicle and its characteristic coloring are drawn in detail.

A very realistic image of a military man was created in the drawing “Portrait of a Soldier.” Let's note the kind facial expression. The military uniform, shoulder straps, orders and medals on the chest, a star on the cap are drawn in detail.

A wonderful postcard for Defender of the Fatherland Day is presented in the photo “Soldier”. The drawing is imbued with a joyful mood, the background is decorated with clouds, the sun and hearts, the soldier himself looks cheerful. A similar image was created in the work “Defender of the Fatherland.”

Soldiers walking in an even formation are depicted in the drawing “Soldiers in Formation.”

We see the image of a brave artilleryman in the composition of the same name: the military uniform is drawn in detail, and in the background there are various types of military equipment.

"Landing"

Pupils of the preparatory group enjoy drawing paratroopers. Obviously, they like to portray the main attribute of this military profession - the parachute. It is present in all drawings. The work “Portrait of a Paratrooper” is interesting, where two plans are clearly visible - the stately figure of a military man in front against the backdrop of a descending parachutist and a flying plane.

A beautiful multi-colored parachute is depicted in the “Paratroopers” picture. And in the composition “Airborne,” paratroopers descend to the ground next to tanks - obviously, military exercises are being conducted. A similar work is “Paratroopers in Exercises.”
