Where to begin?

As you know, to make something out of plasticine, you need ideas. Therefore, this kind of creativity should begin with a plan. Only after you and the child decide what you want to do, you can proceed with the selection of the necessary materials.

How to make a picture of plasticine on glass?

First you need to prepare tools. To make a picture of plasticine on the glass, you need the following tools:

• wax based clay;
• glass of small size (10x10 cm);
• dense cardboard;
• a frame for the future painting;
• A container with water (a small plate will be enough).

If you are doing modeling for the first time, then it's better not to use complicated, with lots of elements, stories. You can start, for example, with flowers.

To produce them, a large number of knives will be needed. In this case, they must all be plastic, because to the metal clay strongly adheres, and instead of sculpting the picture, you will be engaged in peeling it off from metal knives.

Before each contact of hands with plasticine, it is best to moisten them in water. Then, after drying with a paper napkin, they begin to smooth out the clay. If children work with glass, it will not be superfluous to paste over its edges with paint tape, but it is best to use organic glass for such creativity.

The selected plot, a picture with flowers, gently podsalyvatsya under the glass and fixed with a tape. Then, the softened plasticine must be colored, kneaded in the hand until it becomes plastic. After that, they begin to fill in single-color sections of the picture. In this case, they begin with the largest parts: petals, pistil, stalk, etc. It's okay if the child leaves a little beyond the boundaries of the outline. All errors can be easily corrected by cutting an unnecessary piece of plasticine.

The background is usually filled with clay, the color of which is contrast, in relation to the main elements of the picture. Also, instead of the background, you can use a piece of colored paper that is glued to the back of the glass.

Thus, the element is glued to the glass behind the element, carefully smoothening it so that the picture will rejoice its creator for a long time. Also, to extend the life of such a picture, you can cover it with a transparent nail polish.

Thus, having determined what you want to mold from plasticine to children, you can start implementing the idea for modeling. During the manufacturing process, try to ensure that the child, as much as possible molded independently, but you only told him and slightly corrected his mistakes.
