Good afternoon - today we continue the topic autumn crafts– I have already shown several ideas for autumn applications in our article. We also dwelled in detail on what framed masterpieces can be created from dried flowers in the article. We also made different heroes and animals from pumpkins

And today we will make applications from autumn leaves in different ways. In this article I collected several at once interesting techniques . If you are a kindergarten teacher, teacher primary classes at school or the head of a creative circle - then here you are waiting a whole piggy bank best ideas for autumn leaf applications.

Let me first show you applique techniques... and then we will look at individual topics

TECHNOLOGY No. 1

MOSAIC applique of leaves.

The first technique (my favorite) that I want to show you is that autumn leaves are used as puzzles in one whole mosaic. By arranging them in a certain order, we can get an image, for example, of a crab (photo below).

Moreover, if you look closely at the photo below, you will notice that the leaves on this mosaic canvas cut with scissors to give them the desired shape.

The only difficulty in creating such a crab applique is that (as you noticed) - it is SYMMETRICAL - the same on the left and on the right. This requires that your hardwood material contains identical pairs of leaves– and for this you need to tinker with the selection of material. As with the butterfly applique in the photo below.

But what a miracle can be made from autumn leaves and dry fern stems. Take a closer look - there is also zone of symmetrical leaf laying - in the abdomen area seahorse. The remaining leaves are laid out according to the laws of harmony and proportion.

Not only autumn leaves can be used to create mosaic applications. Here in the photo below we see an example mosaic applique of a skull made from dried wild and garden flowers.

But autumn picture– which gives us the idea of ​​creating beautiful silhouette paintings laid out in foliage mosaics.

I really hope you come up with create your own themes for creating autumn applications using mosaic techniques. Be sure to send me a photo – I’d really like to see the results of your creative thought.

Now let's move on to the next technique.

TECHNOLOGY No. 2

BULK APPLICATION from leaves.

Autumn applique can be made from crushed autumn leaves himself different colors. From red autumn leaves we will get red sprinkles, from yellow leaves - yellow. Also you can add dry black tea, green tea, sage leaves, etc..

Here are examples of appliqué paintings made using this technique.

TECHNOLOGY No. 3

Applique painting with GRAPHICS.

And here's the most children's favorite technology autumn applique. When a sheet is placed on a sheet of white paper... and then the child uses a pencil to think up and complete the artistic plot (settings, props).

When you come up with a good artistic idea, a pencil sketch can be secure with black ink or black felt-tip pen.

Children love to add funny little animals with bulging eyes to the leaves... You can print a lot from the Internet in advance such simple animal graphics... Let the children first apply the leaves to the drawn animals... and then, by analogy (with this experience of analysis and comparison), create their own funny characters for children's autumn applique.

In addition to simple pencil graphics - using the same technique, you can use gouache or watercolor - and in any technique available to you. For example, children can from your handprint make a bird... complete the twigs... and stick real dry autumn leaves on the branches.

TECHNOLOGY No. 4

DRAWING on leaves with gouache and oil.

Here's another amazing one beautiful technique working with autumn leaves. On well-dried dense leaves you can apply patterns - dotted, striped, dotted.

Then stick them on cardboard - placing in a circle from the center - radially, like rays in different directions. After the solar display of leaves is ready, you need draw with a pencil the contours of this leafy sun(external and internal) - and then cut them out with scissors.

With the help of paints you can draw faces and eyes on the autumn leaves– you’ll get such a cute little crab.

They can be glued to a piece of paper against the background of painted grass(and they will look like insects)… you can stick them on on a blue background with seaweed(and they will pass for strange fish).

Can autumn turn the sheet into any character... with the help of paints - we draw cat eyes and nose, Using scissors, we trim the edge of the sheet so that we get ears - and here we have CATS.

By the same principle you can turn a dry leaf into a cartoon Minion, SpongeBob... or another character. Can be manifested your personal fantasy and a craving for an artistic EXPERIMENT... we have a lot of leaves... if it doesn’t work out, take a new leaf and move on. Practice... look for images... draw faces and eyes.

And here are the pictures You can draw autumn leaves if you have artistic skills. Neat brush strokes... imitating feathers... a small beak... and beady eyes.

Here in the photo below is the name of the artist who creates such masterpieces of paintings on autumn leaves.

Really great! Is it true?

All these ideas really inspire me.

I just want to do something similar - but OWN, unique.

TECHNOLOGY No. 5

Application of leaves ON CARDBOARD.

In children's creativity circles appliques from autumn natural material CARDBOARD BASE is one of the most popular themes. And it's really convenient - cardboard is a fairly dense material to hold thick layers of leaves, twigs, and large seeds glued on you.

The most popular theme of such applications made from leaves and cardboard is, of course, hedgehogs.

And also owls. We draw the outlines of an owl on the cardboard... paste it with leaves - starting from the bottom row of leaves, and moving upwards, overlapping. You can fill the entire owl with leafy mass, or you can leave the paws and head without leaves, just cover these areas with gouache.

Or you can make owl appliqués - like in the photo below. Here cut out a regular circle from cardboard... glue it leaves-wings... we make two eyes and a beak from cardboard... ears and paws from pieces of sharp leaves. And then when the owl is ready glue a regular clothespin onto the back of the cardboard(with glue or tape) ... and we sit and pin our owls on a tree branch.

Here is another way to make an applique using cardboard. First, we apply the design to the cardboard - then we transfer this design to the back of the cardboard. Covering up the whole pattern is with leaves of different colors. And we cut out the squirrel along the contour - just like in the photo below.

TOPICS and STORIES for autumn applications

(animals, birds, insects, people)

It could be funny people... Princesses in flower dresses... forest fairies dancing in the clearing in leaves-dresses and hats-flowers.

If you are already an adult artist, then you can lay out picturesque pictures from leaves heads of ethnic portraits. In the photo below we see similar works - where the picture is created from a mosaic of BUTTERFLY WINGS (it’s scary to imagine how many butterflies were destroyed for the sake of such beauty). That's why I FOR that, to make a work of art from more humane plant materials.

Here are more examples of paintings made from dry leaves and flowers in ethnic themes. African... and Chinese.

(Leaves)

Let's do it leaf applique.

A tree, like any living organism, consists of individual organs: leaves, branches, roots.

Each of them performs a special function. Back in the 18th century, scientists proved that animals make the air unfit for breathing, and plants “improve” it. The green plant purifies the air only in sunlight. At sunlight Plants produce oxygen, which animals and people breathe, and absorb carbon dioxide from the air, which people and animals exhale. Sheet well adapted to absorb carbon dioxide. It is protected on both sides by a covering fabric with holes in it. Through these holes it penetrates into leaf carbon dioxide. When it is light, the holes are open, and at night they close. Besides, the leaf is pierced by veins consisting of tubular vessels. One vessel at a time along the stem from the roots to leaves receive water, according to others from leaves nutrients that were formed in the leaves. Green sheet-the source of life on the planet. If it were not for plants, there would be no animals and humans on Earth.

Summary: Application on the theme of autumn. Autumn applications from leaves. Applique of autumn leaves. Autumn collage of leaves. Collage of autumn leaves. Application made from natural material.

Very exciting activity observe how ordinary leaves that lie under our feet turn into funny little animals, people, landscapes or abstract patterns. Applique classes contribute to the development of children's imagination, fine motor skills, and develop perseverance. Before work, the collected leaves can be ironed by placing them between two sheets of paper.

When making autumn applications from leaves, the missing details of the images can be completed with pencils, felt-tip pens or paints.

From the leaves, like from paper, you can cut out fragments of a future picture with scissors, i.e. do not use the entire sheet for applique, but only part of it.

If you have a figured hole punch, you can use it to cut out beautiful pictures from autumn leaves.

Dry leaves of different colors can be crushed by hand (a fun activity for kids!), and then glued to the drawing. This is done as follows: apply a layer of glue to the picture in the right place, sprinkle crushed dry leaves on top, let the glue dry, then shake off the remaining leaves. Beauty! Note: If the leaves don't crumble well, microwave them for a while on low power.

Large collection interesting applications of autumn leaves you will find in our

Dried leaves, flowers and herbs can be used to create unique paintings - both exquisitely complex and completely simple, which even small children can make. There are several techniques for making paintings, and perhaps you yourself will come up with something new.

Collect and dry beautiful plants and enjoy creativity with your children, develop imagination, neatness and a sense of beauty.

Collect leaves, flowers and herbs for future paintings it is possible from spring to autumn.

Dry They are better in old heavy reference books or magazines. Thick plant stems do not dry well, so it is recommended to cut them in half lengthwise. Leave the plant in the book for 10-14 days.

Glue take it thick enough so that drops do not form.

If according to your intention colorful but transparent petals must be superimposed on a dark background and retain their original color, then first you need stick them on thin white paper , cut along the contour, and then include it in the composition.

So, on a fine autumn day, you went out to the park or forest and collected large collection beautiful bright leaves and plants.

Applications can be made as from freshly picked leaves and dried. If you want to preserve the leaves, two drying methods can be recommended.

The first, well-known, method - inserting leaves between the pages of the old unnecessary book. It is better to lay each leaf on both sides with a paper napkin.

The second method is express drying of leaves using an iron. Just remember that the leaves are not sterile, so it is better to iron them on a surface that you don’t mind throwing away later, for example, on large sheets of paper. Before ironing, you also need to place a sheet of newsprint or paper napkin. And now more details.

Powder drying

This method of drying flowers and leaves is not quick or easy. It will require bulk substances with hygroscopic properties: sifted river sand, semolina or corn grits, salt or crushed chalk.

Powder drying also has its advantage: it completely preserves the shape and vibrant color of plants or inflorescences.

Heat the sand in a frying pan so that no moisture remains and let it cool. Pour 2 cm of sand into cardboard box and place flowers on it.

Gently sprinkle sand on top until the plants are completely covered.

After two to three weeks, you need to make holes in the bottom of the box so that the sand can spill out.

Shake the dried flowers slightly to remove any remaining sand.

Such flowers can be used for three-dimensional paintings or making floral arrangements.

Drying fast-withering plants

There are also plants that wither faster than they can dry (hydrangea, bulbous plants, heather, chicory). They require air drying and immersion of the stems in water.

Cut the lower part of the stem at an angle of 45 degrees and place it in a vessel with water to a height of 7.5 cm.

Drying plants using a hot method (express drying)

Hot drying, that is, drying with an iron, is an ideal option when you need to dry the leaves for the herbarium for tomorrow. Also, hot drying can preserve the original color of cornflowers.

Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth or cotton pad to remove dirt and dust. There is no need to wet or rub too much so as not to damage the fragile surface.

Cover ironing board clean paper and place the leaves on it.

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

Cover the top with another sheet of paper.

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

Iron the leaves several times, then remove the paper and turn them over to the other side. Cover with paper again and iron.

Repeat the procedure until the leaves are completely dry.

Drying plants for garlands and crafts

Leaves and flowers that you want to use not for herbariums and paintings, but to create garlands or other crafts, need to be dried without a press.

To dry, place the plants on paper and straighten them carefully.

Tie the flowers in bunches and hang them with the inflorescences down. The room should have good air circulation and relative dryness

Drying plants and leaves under pressure

Drying leaves under a press is the most famous and simplest method.

Leaves and flowers are simply transferred with sheets of paper or paper towels on both sides and placed under a press, or in books and magazines.

The paper must be changed every day to remove absorbed moisture.

Flowers and leaves will be ready to use after a week.

If the workpieces have become too brittle, dip them in a solution of water and PVA glue (4 parts water to 1 part glue), and then dry.

Leaves dried and processed in this way are ideal exhibits for a herbarium.

Drying plants on a wire rack

Some plants can be dried horizontally on a wire rack (for example, ivy). Some are best not turned upside down (physalis).

Drying flowers in the oven

Single large flowers whose petals are rich in liquid, such as roses or tulips, can be dried in the oven at low temperature.

Watch the process carefully: the flowers should not turn brown.

Before you start work, cover the table with oilcloth so as not to stain it with glue. Prepare the base - a sheet of cardboard, collected or dried leaves, scissors, glue (preferably PVA), tweezers.

First you need come up with a future picture . Then arrange it on a separate sheet of paper. And only then start gluing the individual leaf parts to the base. It is best to apply the glue in droplets along the edges. If you apply glue to the entire surface of the sheet, it may warp when drying the application.

Need a finished picture put under a press for one or two days. Don't forget to do it for her frame!

Types of applications

Overlay applique.

Try to start by coming up with pictures that do not require cutting out any details from 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 drawn in with a felt-tip pen or made from other natural materials.

Having mastered simple pictures, children can begin to come up with multi-tiered images. In this technique, leaves are glued on top of each other in layers. The application will turn out bright and cheerful if the leaves are different in color.

Silhouette applique.

In this type of appliqué, excess parts of the leaf are cut off so that the result is exactly what the little artist intended.

Modular application (mosaic).

Using this technique, a picture is created by gluing many leaves of the same or similar shape and size (or, for example, maple seeds). This way you can make the scales of a fish, the tail of a cockerel or a firebird.

Symmetrical applique.

It is used to create individual images or entire paintings with 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”).

Ribbon applique.

A type of symmetrical appliqué. Its difference is that it allows you to get not one or two, but many identical images - ornaments. You get a whole “round dance” of trees, flowers, mushrooms, butterflies, etc.
