How to make an application from paper with your favorite child? First of all, you should stock up on the necessary knowledge, materials and patience.
There are many different types of paper applications that differ in the materials and methods of production used. But which technique of paper application with your own hands is best for your children? Consider the most popular.
- Children's applications from colored paper are the simplest and most popular form of application. It is enough to prepare a drawing-base, to outline and cut out elements from colored paper. Then sequentially paste them. To significantly simplify the task it is possible to purchase a ready-made set that will contain printed color elements and a base with the finished image. Also you can find templates on the Internet and just print them on the printer. This technique can be used for children from 2 years old.
- Applique from a torn paper remarkably conveys the texture of the image. The details are not cut with scissors, but are cut off from sheets of colored paper. Then they are glued as a mosaic to the base sheet with a pattern. Perfect for children from year to year. Kids love to play slices of tattered paper, especially if the picture needs to glue their favorite hero.
-
Applique from corrugated paper looks amazing. The technique is simple, but the products look bright and unusual. The bright color and elasticity of the material make it possible to work with it for the youngest children. - Appliques from velvet paper are very beautiful and original. Children like its pleasant and unusual surface. But the paper is afraid of folds and corners, which can spoil its appearance. Draw only on the reverse side and work with glue neatly, so as not to leave ugly spots.
- A 3D paper application allows you to create a 3D effect and truly wonderful compositions. To create three-dimensional images, there are many solutions. But the technique is based on the use of different colored pieces of paper that are twisted, curled, folded, compressed, and then pasted onto the base with elements of the future drawing.
- Separately it is worth mentioning such an application of paper for children as a kevling, or paper wrapping. Technique of execution - flat or twisted long and narrow strips of paper fixed on the base. Then they are given the right shape - petals, droplets, hearts. Drawings in this technique are very popular.
- Multilayered, or overhead applications of paper make it possible to obtain a multicolored three-dimensional image. It is only necessary to conceive the image and sequentially paste the details in layers. In this case, each subsequent part must be less than the previous one.
- Applications from crumpled paper give convex images without the use of scissors. By squeezing paper we achieve the necessary plasticity. Then straighten, form the necessary object and glue it to the base.
- Subject, or thematic application of paper displays some action, phenomenon, event or situation. It can be an image of squirrels with a nut, an autumn landscape, etc.
Begin to be engaged in application it is possible already with the one-year-old kid, together pasting pieces of a paper . Then gradually move on to the cutting and self-gluing of the individual elements. From the age of 5 the child can be puzzled by the creation of voluminous applications .
Self-made paper applications can be an exciting activity for the whole family. Color paper, glue, a simple pencil and scissors work wonders, leaving amazing pictures. Help your child learn to see harmony in the world around him and acquire useful skills.
