Pedagogy today is pleased with parents with numerous methods of development and upbringing. Modern children get acquainted with modeling techniques and appliques with almost diaper, and surprise them with ordinary techniques is becoming harder.
Iris Folding for children - an interesting and fascinating occupation, promoting the development of small motility.
What is this technique?
Iris Folding for children originated in Holland. The technique is considered one of the types of applications that appeared more than 70 years ago.
Despite such a significant period of existence, In Russia, Iris Folding appeared not so long ago, however, was able to interest not only parents of children of preschool age, but also kindergarten educators . The technique is often used in classes on non-standard types of creativity, expressing its positive impact on children.
Advantages of Iris Folding for the development of children:
- fixing the skills of handling scissors;
- the development of accuracy;
- The development of taste and ability to combine various color gamuts in the work;
- Development of shallow motility;
- Education of the feeling of excellent and develop fantasy;
- development skills of working with various materials, including natural;
- Fastening account skills.
Through this method of execution of the application, children are happy to create pictures and postcards who please the wealth of color and volume. Iris Folding in translation means "Rainbow Folding". The concept is associated with two inalienable style characteristics. First, the picture is obtained irident and bright, and secondly - her species resembles the iris eye or the diaphragm of the camera.
So, the main feature of the application in this style is the presence of a scheme consisting of one square, into which smaller squares fit alternately.
The sides of the figure are numbered. At the same time, the location of geometric figures creates the angles that are subsequently filled with non-ferrous paper, scrap paper, satin ribbons, cloth, foil, infirous or natural materials.
It should be noted that For the basis of the scheme, in addition to the square, triangles and polygons can be taken. When working with children of preschool age, educators prefer simple figures, such as a square or triangle.
When filling in the scheme with colored materials, the volume picture appears to the light, which must be given the form. This form is denoted by any template, for example, in the form of a heart, an animal shape, a leaf, etc. The base pattern is cut out of dense cardboard using a stationery knife, after which it is attached to the diagram itself. Upon completion of the work, the exhaust is closed by another sheet of cardboard.
Iris Folding does not require any special skills and can be implemented through ready-made schemes. sold in stationery shops and shops of creativity or on the Internet. In addition, the schemes can be painted personally, armed with a sheet into a cage, a ruler and handle.
Simple crafts
With simple pictures in the technique of rainbow folding, preschoolers from 5 years can cope, and sometimes before, when the child's skill, cut the colored paper on the strips along the lines and the availability of the perfection. It is possible to work with children with natural material, for example, dried autumn leaves, however, the risk of damage to rainbow strips is great.
Before working, we prepare the necessary tools:
- colored paper;
- scissors;
- cardboard sheet;
- finished scheme;
- PVA glue;
- Double-sided tape;
- pencil.
A detailed master class will help affordably and simply explain to children the task and perform in stages and unmistakably work in this technique. It should be started with the preparation of the future parts of our creativity, which is performed personally without the participation of preschoolers.
An adult algorithm is such.
- Print the schemes with the squares of the heart-shaped rideward folding.
- Cut the scheme.
- We prepare templates. To do this, you need to take a sheet of tight cardboard and fold it in half. At one half in the middle we apply a cut-out heart-heart and supply scheme.
- With the help of a stationery knife or thin scissors, cut out a heart from cardboard. The figure itself is no longer useful to us, unlike the cardboard blank-stencil.
- With the help of a clips, we set the circuit on the front side of the cardboard pattern so that Iris Folding rainbow squares appear in the hole for the heart.
- Bottling sheets of colored paper on a 3,5 cm wide width.
If the finished scheme was not found or simply, I would like to get used in this kind of creativity from scratch, you can independently develop a scheme.
For this you need:
- Take a sheet in a cage and draw a square, each side of which is 10 cm;
- clockwise numbered the sides of the square;
- From each side of the square, count 1.5 cm and draw the included square, which lies to the main figure at an angle;
- Numbriver side;
- From a smaller square, we also count 1.5 cm of each side and draw another square, smaller in the area;
- It is worth numbered the parties clockwise;
- We continue to draw inscribed squares;
- The latter, the smaller figure is located in the center.
The scheme is ready and reminds of a diaphragm of the camera. Geometric shapes in it like a spiral.
At this, the preparatory work of the parent or the educator ends and fascinating children's creativity begins. The algorithm of a child action will be such.
- The preschooler chooses those colors of paper that he would like to connect in one job. In our case, you will need three different colors.
- We cut the selected sheets of colored paper on strips, which are previously defined by adults.
- We fold stripes in half in length.
- We start laying out the "1" digit scheme.
- We continue alternate overlapping strips. 3 strips falls at 2, 2 per 1, etc.
- Each strip is fixing with a scotch or with the help of glue from two sides to a cardboard pattern. With an excessive length of the strips, their edges are cut off.
- The second half of the cardboard is missing PVA glue, apply and close.
- I turn over and smoothed the resulting picture.
From the finished picture you can make an independent handicraft or diversify it with a postcard, gluing to the front side.
It should be noted that the most simple in the execution for the child are quite large paintings with a small amount of colors (2-3) and a small number of inscribed geometric shapes.
Such crafts include a Christmas tree with a scheme consisting of inscribed triangles, maple leaf, fruit images, Easter eggs and other figures that do not have thin bends.
Examples
The gentle image of the swan is made of three types of paper, including packaging. An eye-bead eye is used as the final element.
Bright bearings from pastel tones of dense colored paper includes four colors and is created using a scheme with inscribed triangles.
Rainbow Easter Egg in Technique Iris Folding has become a bright postcard element. The scheme of the inscribed rhombuses makes the rainbow folding more subtle, and the decor in the form of flowers from the tapes and the central decoration complements the refined postcard.
Rainbow folding in the form of fish is perfect for beginner masters. A small number of details will help the child not to make a mistake and independently perform work.
A Christmas card in the form of a bell is made of glossy packaging paper of various tones, but combined with one pattern. A good complement was bright beads and velvet paper decor.
