Drawing lessons with children from 3 years old make us look at fairy tales and fairy tales differently. Despite the fact that it seems to us that the kids will not draw anything complicated, the teacher has to prepare for the classes very carefully. We need to think about what questions children can ask, what interesting things to tell them, how to make the learning process interesting? In this article we will show you how to draw a turnip.

Turnip - the hero of fairy tales and proverbs

If we say the word "turnip", then we first remember it as a hero of a fairy tale and proverbs:

• Ivan, Ivan! Tear out weeds so that a turnip grows, sweet and strong, so that a cucumber grows, long-whiskered fellow.
• Mother turnip, be strong, neither rare nor thick, until Lent!
• Easier than a steamed turnip.

And, of course, let's remember the fairy tale "Turnip". The one where grandfather, grandmother, granddaughter, dog, cat and mouse pulled this wonderful vegetable out of the ground with difficulty.

Turnip - usefulvegetable

Children can and should be told what a turnip is. What does she look like? What colour? She pleases us in the fall, and prefers to grow in cool regions.

Growing turnips is easy, as they are undemanding to the soil and mature in 2 months. During the season you can get as many as two crops. It is not surprising that such a tasty and vitamin-rich turnip has become a favorite hero of our fairy tales. It grew abundantly in the gardens of our ancestors, and they hoped that this vegetable would be big, big.

What does a turnip look like?

In appearance, the turnip looks like a large radish. But, in fact, she is a relative of cabbage. This is a rounded yellow-orange vegetable with lush tops, which consists of carved bushy leaves. The color and shape of the turnip may vary, depending on the variety. But bright yellow specimens are more familiar to us.

How to draw a fairy tale "Turnip" with children?

First, we will tell the children about the turnip, its appearance, qualities - fabulous and culinary. And to make it easy to draw, we will analyze the drawing process in stages. To begin with, we will have to draw it with a pencil, and then with paints.

Stage one

So, how to draw a turnip with a pencil? Decide on the format of the drawing. It is most convenient to do this in an A4 format album. If we plan to make a large colorful picture, then it is better to take a larger format, for example, A3.

Next, let's decide on the composition. The turnip can be placed on a leaf laidvertically or horizontally. Let's think - will we draw her alone or with other characters of the fairy tale? If we draw a portrait of a turnip, then it can be depicted on the entire sheet. And if we want to add other characters, then we will have to make it smaller.

For work we need:

• pencil;
• eraser;
• paints (watercolor or gouache);
• water jar;
• tassel;
• sponge or cloth.

Get Started:

1. Without pressing the pencil, sketch out the outline of the turnip. First, draw a circle, then stretch it a little from the bottom and top.
2. Draw a tail at the bottom of the turnip.
3. At the top of the turnip, add a leaf of tops - one or more.
4. To make a turnip sitting in the ground, we can divide it in half with a line - the upper part will be above the garden bed and visible in the picture, and we can not draw the lower part, but simply paint it over with an "earthy" color.
5. Now let's outline the outline of our drawing. We will draw good lines. Unsuccessful ones will be carefully erased with an elastic band.

If we want to draw a turnip lying on the ground, then we will do it a little differently:

1. First, let's set the axis of the circle. If the vegetable is placed on a flat surface, then we will see that it will lie somewhat at an angle. It all depends on its natural curvature and the thickness of the tail. We need to designate this slope.
2. Let's draw a line at 45 degrees to an imaginary surface of the earth. Around it, with thin strokes, draw a circle close to an ellipse.
3. At the bottom of the ellipsedraw a tail, in the upper part we denote the tops with carved leaves.

Look at the picture and draw carefully - from simple to detail. And we will move on to the next step - how to draw a turnip in stages with paints.

Draw with paints

1. Take brown paint and paint over the turnip below our horizontal line, which we marked the ground, or a garden bed.
2. When the paint dries a little, cover the top of the turnip with yellow.
3. Take the orange paint on the brush and right on the wet yellow drop a brighter color on top. The orange color will spread beautifully over the surface and the turnip will become more like itself.
4. When the paints dry, paint the leaves with green paint.
5. In the end, draw the middle of the tops with brown paint.

The turnip is ready!

Develop imagination: draw fun and easy

Drawing lessons with children serve to develop their imagination. How to draw a fairy tale "Turnip" is not clear to everyone. After all, it is one thing to depict a vegetable growing in a garden, another thing is a fabulous one. There, the turnip was born huge, and it turned out to be beyond the power of several people to pull it out!

To make the picture fabulous, let's try to give the vegetable human features. The tops can be drawn like hair - with beautiful wavy lines. The turnip can be given a different facial expression by drawing her eyes, nose and mouth. If the turnip is sad, then we lower the corners of the mouth down, and if it is happy with our life, then we will make it smiling and cheerful. A turnip can also be drawn in the formheart.

Try teaching kids how to mix paint. Color the drawing yellow. Without waiting for this layer to dry, apply transparent red paint on top. Children will watch the turnip change color and turn orange.

Now try the opposite - color it red and fill it with yellow on top. What will happen? So, a simple turnip turned out to be quite a difficult object to draw. And gave us many opportunities to introduce children to the fine arts.

We hope that now the question of children - how to draw a turnip - will not confuse you. Good luck!
