Basic painting composition skills of children's paintings

When painting, according to the requirements of subject matter and theme, the images to be expressed are properly organized to form a coordinated and complete picture, which is called composition. The following are the basic painting composition skills of children's painting that I brought to you. Welcome to reading.

The composition of children's paintings often takes the center of the picture as the core of the work. First, arrange the main part of the painting in the core position, and then develop outward in turn until the painting is complete. This can make the work have a centripetal cohesion and the picture is full of layers. While satisfying children's free creation, parents should also guide their children to comply with the composition requirements of general paintings. These requirements are: the picture should be full, there should be primary and secondary before and after, and the left and right should echo.

The following are some common composition methods used by children:

1. central body synthesis method

This is a composition method that children are best at using in the image period. Painted as "a monster", the child imagines himself as a mighty monster, draws its image greatly, and draws an imaginary plot related to the monsters around him.

2. Scattered point composition method.

When children express such a busy theme as "Chinese New Year", they often use the style of "starry sky" to combine different people and things to make the picture look very rich. However, this composition method requires that the things expressed should be changed in order to attract people to taste, otherwise "the sky" will become "scattered sand"

3. Queuing juxtaposition composition method

Children are used to listing their ideas one by one, either from top to bottom or from left to right. We can use this feature to arrange children to draw "little people holding hands" and "how they flew into the sky" with long strips of paper. This can not only cultivate children to learn to compose flexibly according to different paper shapes, but also make children realize the interesting points of this composition.

4. Line composition method

With the growth of children's age and skills, they began to like "maze" and various board games. We can use the development of their sense of spatial orientation to design some "cars on the road" and cultivate children's learning route composition. This composition seems complicated, but children can arrange pictures according to certain route rules and gradually learn to compose pictures in a planned way.

5. Back and forth synthesis method

Using a certain perspective relationship, the background and foreground of the painted image are hidden from each other and combined together to produce a visual and psychological sense of wholeness.

6. Module division and combination method

In the same picture, different times, people and places have different shapes, and some lines or color blocks are used to divide and arrange them, and the movement and size are compared with each other, which has novel and rich effects.

7. Cross line composition

The scene is in the form of diagonal cross layout, and the cross point of the scene can be inside or outside the picture. The former is similar to cross composition, and the latter is similar to diagonal composition, which can make full use of screen space. And direct the line of sight to the center of the cross, or the outside of the picture. It is lively, relaxed and implicit.

The lines and tones are arranged in an X-shape, with a strong sense of perspective, which is conducive to guiding people's line of sight to shift from the periphery to the center, or the scene has the characteristics of gradually enlarging from the center to the periphery. Often used in architecture, bridges, roads, fields and other themes. Cross-shaped composition diagram. The change of scenery, tone or color on the screen is in the form of orthogonal cross composition. This composition can leave more space, so it can accommodate more backgrounds and ligands, so that the viewer's eyes can naturally focus on the cross. It is often used to stably arrange combined objects or to shoot regularly moving objects.

10. Diagonal composition

It can be divided into vertical oblique vertical line and horizontal oblique horizontal line. Sports, maneuvers, inclinations, bumps, imbalances, tensions, dangers, thousands of miles away and other scenes are often shown. Some pictures use diagonal lines to point out specific objects and play a fixed guiding role.

1 1. Triangle composition

The scenery with three visual centers is the main position, and sometimes the scenery positions are arranged in the geometric form of three points forming a plane to form a stable triangle. This triangle can be a regular triangle, an oblique triangle or an inverted triangle. Among them, oblique triangle is more commonly used and flexible. Triangular composition is stable, balanced and flexible.

12.s-shaped combination

The scenery on the screen is in the form of S-shaped curve composition, which has the characteristics of extension and change, making people look rhythmic and producing a beautiful, elegant and harmonious feeling.

It has the distinct characteristics of highlighting the subject, but sometimes it may become the center of oppression. Embarrassed and heavy feeling is that the radial composition is centered on the subject, and the scenery can focus people's attention on the subject in the form of spreading radiation around, thus having the functions of opening, stretching and spreading. It is often used in situations where the theme needs to be highlighted and the scene is complex, and it is also used to make people or scenery produce special effects in complex situations.
