How to sculpt a dinosaur from plasticine. Master class

Dinosaurs are unusual animals that lived in ancient times. During the process of modeling, you can tell your child facts about their life and varieties.

Step-by-step diagram of sculpting a dinosaur:

1. Cut a third off a green block of plasticine and roll it into a dinosaur head in the shape of a ball. Then create a triangular shape with soft corners from the ball.
2. For the body, you will need a whole block of green plasticine. It must be thoroughly kneaded, then given an oval shape, which should be transformed by stretching into an oblong drop.
3. Using a toothpick, the two pieces are connected together.
4. To make massive dinosaur paws, you need 4 green balls of the same size.
5. The balls are rolled into sausages, then legs are formed.
6. The paws need to be connected to the body, for this their edges should be slightly flattened.
7. We make a large collar for the dinosaur. To do this, we roll out a flat cake from a piece of green plasticine.
8. An arc-shaped strip is cut out of it with a stack, then a zigzag pattern is created along the edge with a serrated stack.
9. The collar is glued to the top of the dinosaur's head and the jagged edge folds back beautifully.
10. On the head, near the collar, we attach a pair of beige horns.
11. A green horn is glued to the nose.
12. Triangular green plates are attached along the back and tail.
13. Now it is necessary to make a two-color plate. To do this, roll a piece of brown plasticine into a sausage shape, which is then wrapped in a thin black flat cake.
14. From the resulting piece you need to form a rectangle and cut it into 7-8 strips.
15. Stick them on the dinosaur's back and press them into the body.
16. Attach white eyes with black pupils to the head.
17. The entire surface of the back of the ballpoint pen is given relief to the dinosaur skin.
18. The stripes are drawn with a stack along the collar, the mouth line and the tips of the paws.

The dinosaur is ready.

Compositions for modeling with children in kindergarten on the theme of winter, autumn, spring

Plasticine modeling for children aged 5-6 years should contain compositions from different seasons. This allows children to learn, understand and remember the characteristics and differences of natural seasons.

Below are examples of autumn and winter compositions.

Composition "Autumn"

This master class will show you how to convey the mood and colors of late autumn:

• To depict a leaden sky, you need to mix dark and bright colors. To do this, combine the following colors of plasticine: gray with black, yellow with purple, blue with black. You will also need a piece of blue.
• Using your fingers, start spreading yellow-purple plasticine onto the paper from the top corner, and draw a blue stripe below.
• Smear a dirty yellow spot over the blue color with your finger, stretching it in all directions like the meager rays of the sun.
• Fill the sky completely with a grey-black and blue-black mixture to represent the looming clouds.
• Extend the blue stripe across the lower part of the sky for contrast.
• For the ground, use a mixture of brown, white and yellow plasticine. This mass must first be kneaded in your hands, then spread onto the bottom of the cardboard.
• Fill the empty space completely with this mixture up to the blue stripe.
• Sculpt dark brown branches and a flat tree trunk, as well as yellow and orange foliage.
• Glue branches and a trunk as a tree on the left and a bush on the right. The branches should be tilted to the right, as if they were being bent by a strong wind.
• Stick yellow leaves on the branches and under the tree.

• Press down on each leaf with a stack so that a strip in the form of a vein remains.
• We add orange leaves to the bush and also go over them with a stack.
• We sculpt additional details: a brown stump, beige honey mushrooms, black birds.
• They are all attached to the painting.
• Add rose hips to the bush.

The autumn composition is ready.

Composition "Bullfinch"

This master class is about sculpting a bright volumetric composition of a bullfinch on a branch:

• Cover the cardboard with a thin layer of a mixture of white and blue or blue plasticine. The blue and white plasticine should not be mixed until completely homogeneous, it is necessary that the marble streaks and inclusions remain visible.
• Roll out a long sausage from the brown block, tapering towards one end and widening towards the other.
• To make the needles of the spruce branch, prepare many thin green threads from plasticine.
• Glue the brown branch approximately in the center of the picture, roughly diagonally.
• Next, fragments are torn off from the green threads, folded in half and attached to the branch as Christmas tree needles. This is the only long and process in creating the composition.
• The entire branch must be filled with needles.

• You can add more branches below and above the main one, keeping in mind that the central part of the picture should be left for the bullfinch.
• To make the bird, you need to mold 2 thick flat cakes: black for the body and red for the breast. Give them the desired shape.
• You will also need one grey wing with 4 thin white stripes.
• Fasten the body to the chest and attach the wing to it.
• Attach a white circle eye with a black pupil and a triangular yellow beak to the head.
• Attach the bullfinch to the background above the branch.
• Make a brown paw and attach it to the bird and spruce branch.

The winter composition is ready.

Modeling with plasticine is a good way for preschool children to usefully spend some of their free time.
