Application types

Overlay application. Try to get started by coming up with pictures that don't require any details to be cut out of the leaves, but are created by overlaying the leaves. You can come up with a lot of such pictures: butterflies, mushrooms, chickens and other birds ... The missing elements can be added with a felt-tip pen or made from other natural materials.

Getting the hang of simple pictures, children can start to come up with tiered images. In this technique, the leaves are glued on top of each other in layers. The application will turn out bright and cheerful if the leaves differ in color.

Silhouette application. In this type of applique, the extra parts of the leaf are cut off to get exactly what the little artist intended.

Modular application (mosaic). Using this technique, a picture is created by sticking a lot of identical or similar in shape and size leaves (or, for example, maple seeds). So you can make the scales of a fish, the tail of a cockerel or a firebird.

symmetrical application. It is used to create separate images or entire paintings that have a symmetrical structure, as well as to obtain two completely identical images (for example, reflection in water). To do this, you need to select similar leaves to get an image with its “reflection” or symmetrical in itself (“Butterfly”, “Dragonfly”, “Landscape with a lake”, “Boat on the river”).

Tape application - a kind of symmetrical application. Its difference is that it allows you to get not one or two, but many identical images - ornaments. It turns out whole "round dances" of trees, flowers, mushrooms, butterflies, etc.

Progress master class

Forest, like a painted tower,

Purple, gold, crimson,

Cheerful, colorful wall

It stands over a bright meadow.

(I. Bunin)

Look how many colorful leaves autumn gave us. Each leaf is like a small tree, and the veins on them are like a trunk and branches. Let's try to make a picture of an autumn forest out of them.

We take White list rectangular shape 30x40. We paint over the background. We use blue (sky, green and yellow (the color of autumn grass) watercolor for this.

We blur the boundaries, make the transitions smoother. Let the background dry.

We lay out large leaves on the horizon line and glue them.

Then we place small leaves just below the horizon line so as to create a color contrast so that the trees are more expressive in the image. We glue them.

We cut the fern leaf along the central branch and lay out the grass in the clearing, glue it.

On foreground, along the edges, in the same order, first glue large leaves ...

... and then small ones. We glue the grass.

To revive the picture, we glue mushrooms from small leaves, draw birds with a felt-tip pen.

Like towers, Christmas trees darken,

And between the maples they turn blue

Here and there in the foliage through

Clearances in the sky, that windows.

The forest smells of oak and pine,

During the summer it dried up from the sun,

And Autumn is a quiet widow

He enters his motley tower.

(I. Bunin)

This is how it turned out autumn landscape. Try doing the same with the kids.

- cardboard

- glue

- frame or passe-partout

Still, as a basis, you can use glass, saw cuts of trees, gypsum castings.

Instruction

The main task is to collect leaves, flowers, twigs and herbs. This material is collected in spring, summer and autumn. You can do this everywhere - in the yards, in the front gardens, you do not need to limit yourself to the field and forest.

Harvested plants must be dried. The best option for this - old magazines or reference books, however, their paper should not be glossy, but only porous and soft. The book must be well dried. The collected material is placed between the sheets, while at least six sheets must be left between the bookmarks. Something heavy like a brick or iron is placed on a closed magazine or book.

When the natural material is ready, you can proceed to the design of the picture. Any postcard, picture or photograph depicting flowers or a landscape is selected for the sample. You can create a sketch of the future picture and yourself. In any case, the outline should be.

On the cardboard are all the details of the composition as shown in the photo or postcard. Start work from the background. First, large leaves are superimposed, and then flowers and herbs. The composition is drawn up completely, and after that each detail is very carefully separated from the picture, smeared with glue and glued.

A passe-partout is glued onto the cardboard of the finished composition.

If you like handicrafts and at the same time use natural materials, then a picture of autumn leaves is something that you can do very quickly and easily. And you do not have to buy expensive material or make any effort to make a real masterpiece that can decorate your home.

Why should you be doing this kind of work?

First of all, it should be noted the advantages that a picture of autumn leaves has. This:

With a little effort and imagination, you can create paintings to your liking, and each of them will not look like the other. The process of such creativity is also very exciting for children, especially if you first go for a walk with them and collect beautiful leaves, herbs and flowers.

After drying the material with an iron (express drying) or between the pages of an unnecessary thick book and preparing glue, brush and cardboard, you can begin the creative process, which will surely give you and your children joy and pleasure, as well as contribute to the aesthetic development of your child.

Applications from autumn leaves are very effective method decorating your home in a short time. In this case, you do not have to pay big money for the materials from which your masterpieces will be made.

How to collect and prepare the necessary material?

Applications from autumn leaves should be done only after collected the necessary material. It is better to collect material in the fall, when the leaves become delicious. bright colors and you can make pictures all year round. Well, flowers and herbs can be dried for the entire period of their growth and flowering.

It is better not to collect dry elements, because they can crumble. While picking, pay attention to the size, shape and beauty of the leaves.

In addition to leaves, flowers and herbs, you can also use fluff, cone scales, seeds, as well as ordinary decorative materials(feathers, ribbons, etc.), creating a variety of combinations.

Dried material must be handled with great care, as it becomes very brittle even after being gently dried in a book. Make sure that the plants are completely dry, otherwise the finished work may deteriorate.

Make sure that during the period of storage of the material it does not begin to rot due to poor drying or due to moisture ingress.

How to quickly dry leaves for crafts

Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth or cotton pad to remove dirt and dust. It is not necessary to wet and rub too much, so as not to damage the fragile surface.

Line an ironing board with clean paper and spread the leaves on it.

If you use newspapers, be careful as the printing ink can be printed both on the leaves and on the surface of the ironing board.

Top with another sheet of paper.

Switch the iron to the minimum temperature and check that there is no water in it. If your iron does not have too high power, then you can set the temperature closer to the average, but not the maximum, because too hot an iron will ruin the leaves.

Iron the leaves a few times, then remove the paper and flip them over to the other side. Cover again with paper and iron.

Repeat the procedure until the leaves are completely dry.

Materials you will need:

• - dried natural material:
• - PVA glue, as well as a regular brush with which it will be applied to the base;
• - sharp scissors for cutting the necessary elements;
• - thick cardboard or plain landscape paper (but cardboard is undoubtedly better), to use as a base;
• - plasticine, with which you can fix volumetric elements;
• - you should also prepare some kind of load so that you can press down the future picture.

Features of making paintings paintings from flowers and leaves

To get started, come up with a plot for the future picture and select the type of application you are going to make. Here you can rely on your imagination, take as a basis a certain image (picture, photo, etc.) or create images based on the capabilities of the material - when exactly it suggests ideas.

If you come up with a plot, make a sketch with a simple pencil on the basis, marking out where which parts will be located. Then think over the sequence of gluing leaves and herbs (especially for a multi-layer complex application). Well, then you can start gluing.

If you didn’t have enough leaves, or didn’t find something specific, then the missing details can simply be added or made from other materials (for example, a flower vase or a head for a little man).

If you are going to do a leaf painting for the first time, then try to draw something simple first to understand how the material behaves, how it should be handled and what nuances may arise.

Having mastered the process, you can move on to more complex images and increase the amount and variety of natural material.

The picture is constructed quite simply: first, larger parts are usually glued to the base, and then smaller ones. If the leaves have extra details, then they can be carefully trimmed.

Naturally, you should select the elements by color so that the picture is as natural and harmonious as possible.
And of course, you need to work carefully and with soul so that your little masterpiece will adequately decorate your home interior.

Painting-imprint

From the leaves, you can not only make applications, but also paintings - prints. For this on the sheet beautiful shape apply paint with a brush and make a print.

The second option is done using watercolor paper. In this case, the fallen leaves are placed between watercolor paper and a napkin and carefully tapped over the entire surface with a hammer so that the coloring pigment remains on the paper.

Landscape "House in the village"

Let's figure out how to properly assemble a landscape of leaves and herbs.

Any floral landscape is glued from top to bottom.

Glue the sky and the river (to simulate the sky, put the sheet at an angle, for the river - horizontally. Thus, thanks to one material, you will achieve a double effect - the movement of air and the smooth flow of the river).

Proceed to distant shores. Choose soft pastel colors. Suitable raspberry leaves (with reverse side), peony and rose petals.

Glue the hills of the near shore from a green leaf.

Making a house: first glue the walls, then the roof and windows.

Plant trees around. Create a crown from all kinds of herbs (lungwort, knotweed, fern), cut trunks from birch bark, banana skins.

The last “strokes” are small bushes, a fence, sheaves.

Decorate the picture in any framing workshop (passport, glass, frame).

Do not hang the painting in direct sunlight so that it does not deteriorate.

colorful collages

Autumn leaves are so beautiful on their own that they look great in frames and without any plot. Look how beautiful! The first layer is dark leaves, then put the contrasting and most beautiful ones, so the volume will be felt. Everything is framed.

Another idea: we put a sheet of thick cardboard on a collage of leaves, in which a letter or a simple figure is cut out with a clerical knife.

Photo frame

For the autumn exhibition, you can make frames for photographs and for the design of essays and poems on the theme of autumn. Here are some options for such work - very simple and effective.
