Lesson topic message:

The first material for a child’s creativity is paper. Paper is an unusually expressive and malleable material. You can create a whole world out of it. There are many types of paper plastic. Most famous in our country japanese art folding figures from paper sheet- origami. Today I will introduce you to another technique that is still little known among us - the art of paper rolling or, as it is called in the West, quilling.

2. Main stage.

Task:

mastering new knowledge and methods of action (participants get acquainted with the history of the art of “quilling”).

establishing the correctness and awareness of mastering new material, identifying misconceptions and correcting them. The use of practical tasks that are performed independently by the participants of the master class.

History of quilling. (slides).

On English language This needlework is called “quilling” - from the word “quill” or “bird feather”. Unlike origami, which originated in Japan, the art of paper rolling originated in Europe in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. In medieval Europe, nuns created elegant medallions by twisting the end bird feather paper with gilded edges. When viewed closely, these miniature paper masterpieces created the complete illusion that they were made of thin gold strips. Unfortunately, paper is a short-lived material and little has survived from medieval masterpieces. However, this ancient technique has survived to this day and is very popular in many countries around the world. Paper rolling quickly spread in Europe, but because paper, especially colored and high-quality paper, was a very expensive material, paper plastic art became an art for ladies from wealthy sections of society.

Nowadays, paper rolling is widely known and popular as a hobby in Western European countries, especially in England and Germany. But this art became most widespread when it “moved” to the East. The richest traditions of the finest graphics and plastic arts, paper making and working with it have given rise to the art of paper sculpture new life.

In South Korea, there is an entire Association of Paper Art Lovers, uniting followers of various areas of paper art. In the 15th century it was considered art. At 19 - ladies' entertainment. For most of the 20th century it was forgotten. And only at the end of the last century quilling began to turn into an art again.

In England, Princess Elizabeth was seriously interested in the art of quilling, and many of her creations are kept in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. We associate paper with the idea of ​​fragility and fragility. But quilling refutes this statement - you can put, for example, a cup or a heavy book on a filigree volumetric stand, and not a single curl of paper lace will be damaged. Can be assembled from paper elements vase for sweets and calmly use it for its intended purpose - it will not fall apart or break. In general, quilling is an opportunity to see unusual possibilities. plain paper.

It should be noted that the Korean school of quilling (they call it paper rolling) is somewhat different from the European one. European works, as a rule, consist of a small number of parts; they are laconic, reminiscent of mosaics, and decorate postcards and frames. Europe is always in a hurry, so it loves fast technology. Eastern masters create works that resemble masterpieces of jewelry. The finest voluminous lace is woven from hundreds of small details. Masters of the Eastern school prefer to perform twisting using a thin awl. A replacement can be made from a thick needle and cork. Also, children are good at winding on a toothpick.

Paper. The paper must be colored on both sides. Ready-made cut strips of paper can be bought in specialty stores. If this is not possible, then pass sheets of colored paper through a paper shredder or cut them. The standard width of quilling strips is 3 mm, but this is not a necessary condition. Still very important point. If you make strips yourself, then the weight of the paper is important - at least 60 grams per square meter (usually the weight is indicated on paper packages), otherwise it will not curl neatly and keep its shape.

Quilling tools.

To master the paper rolling technique, you do not need any special tool. At the initial stage, visiting a regular store is quite enough. Here is a short list of what you need to start learning:

Awl. It is advisable to purchase an awl with a diameter of about one millimeter. Usually the awl has a cone shape, which can be inconvenient. In this case, you can use any hardened rod of suitable diameter. An awl (rod) is used to wind a spiral from a paper strip. In this case, it is necessary to control the tension force of the paper; the handle of the tool should be comfortable for this purpose.

Tweezers. The tips should be sharp and aligned exactly. To perform high precision work. Notches at the end are undesirable because... may leave marks on paper. The squeezing force should be comfortable for your hands, providing a secure grip with the least amount of pressure.

Scissors. Like tweezers, they must have pointed ends. For maximum precision cutting of fringes.

When marking a future composition, you will need the simplest drawing tools: a compass, a ruler, a pencil.

3. Control stage.

Task:

identifying the quality and level of mastery of knowledge, skills and abilities; their correction.

using oral questioning, performing a creative search task.

It is necessary to provide students with safety training; tell and show methodological and technological techniques for making products using the quilling technique.

Safety instructions:

Rules for working with scissors:

Store the knife in a specific place;

place it folded.

Quilling technique.

At first glance, the paper rolling technique is simple. A strip of quilling paper is rolled into a tight spiral. It will be convenient to start winding by twisting the edge of the paper quilling tape onto the tip of a sharp awl. Having formed the core of the spiral, it is advisable to continue working without using a quilling tool. This way you can feel with your fingertips whether the roll is being formed uniformly and adjust the effort as you go. The result should be a dense spiral less than a centimeter in diameter. It will be the basis for the further diversity of all forms. After which the paper spiral unfolds to the required size, and then the required quilling figure is formed from it.

The tip of the paper is grabbed by a drop of glue. Rolls can be given the most various shapes, performing compressions and dents.

There are a total of 20 basic elements for quilling, but the principle remains the same: fold, pinch - using your imagination you can always come up with new quilling elements yourself.

This index finger is wonderful.
This finger is called the thumb.

4. Final stage.

Task:

give an analysis and assessment of the success of achieving the goal: in the quick and high-quality completion of the task, the correct use of materials to complete basic elements, and outline the prospects for subsequent work.

After completing the tasks, organize an exhibition of works and their collective discussion.

5. Reflective stage.

Final words from the teacher.

Our unusual activity has come to an end. Today we have done a lot great job.

What new things did you learn during the lesson? What did you study? What did you like about the lesson? How did your creativity show up in class? What's your mood now?

I hope that the knowledge you acquired today has enriched you and will help you in solving creative problems not only in our classes, but also in life.

Sections: Working with preschoolers

Currently, many children have insufficient development of fine motor skills. A study of the level of development of fine differentiated movements of the fingers and hands in children shows that for many they are not sufficiently targeted. Particularly poorly developed are the complex coordinated movements of the leading hand, i.e., poor ability to hold a pen or pencil as a working tool.

The development of fine motor skills in preschool children is one of the pressing problems, because weakness in the movement of fingers and hands, awkwardness is one of the reasons that makes it difficult to master the simplest skills necessary for life and self-care skills. In addition, the mechanical development of the hand is in close connection with the development of speech and thinking of the child, as proven by scientists. The level of development of fine motor skills is one of the indicators of intellectual readiness for school education. Usually a child who has high level development of fine motor skills, can reason logically: he has sufficiently developed memory and attention, coherent speech.

The quilling technique is amazing, with its help you can create various masterpieces that resemble a “thin lace web”; in one or two minutes, from a rainbow of strips of paper you can create two-three-dimensional shapes of a square, oval, star, cone, hemisphere. Then these volumetric forms, sometimes called modules, connecting and flowing into each other, create a cascade of figures, leaves of flowers, obeying the endless imagination of the master artist.

Original and unusual look Handicrafts, the essence of which is to twist and model, using a small tool (toothpick), paper strips several millimeters wide and using the resulting forms to create a variety of compositions, are very popular with children.

It is noteworthy that both boys and girls enjoy quilling. That is why these classes allow me to unite performers of different sexes in joint artistic and creative activities.

Quilling classes are not only the development of motor skills, imagination, attention, thinking, aesthetics, etc., but also tremendous opportunities to realize your creative potential.

The purpose of my work: to teach children a new paper processing technique - quilling, in their free time.

I think that children’s learning will be more effective if:

• Systematic and consistent work with children, gradually increasing the complexity of the level of work.
• Collaboration kindergarten and family to master quilling.

As a result, I set the following tasks:

• Introduce children to a new type of design - quilling, teach them how to make basic shapes (tight spiral, loose spiral, drop, arrow) and create various compositions from them. (from simple to more complex).
• Through quilling classes, increase the level of development of motor skills, thinking, attention, memory, and creativity.
• In the process of work, cultivate perseverance, accuracy in execution, aesthetics, and interest.

To practice this type of paper rolling, very little material is required:

Picture 1

• Sheets of colored double-sided paper (A4 format), from which are cut into strips 5 mm wide.
• Wooden toothpicks (the tip is cut off and a small incision is made)
• PVA glue,
• Additional material: cardboard, colored paper, pencils, etc.

Quilling technique.

1. To make an element (mold), insert the strip into the hole and wrap it tightly around a toothpick.

2. Carefully remove the roll from the toothpick and unroll it between your fingers to the desired diameter (children do this by eye).

Figure 4

3. Glue the outer end of the strip and let the glue dry.

Workpieces can be given a variety of shapes by performing compressions and indentations.

Figure 6

Each lesson has its own educational character, but in the process of all work there is a development of the eye, attention, memory, thinking, motor skills, and creativity; the will, perseverance, accuracy in performing work, interest, and aesthetics are cultivated.

Staged lessons on topics have been developed for senior and preparatory groups.

It can also be said that the proposed type of activity has a significant impact on personal development. Working in the quilling technique contributed to the formation in my children of such personality traits as perseverance, the ability to complete a task started (consistency and perseverance in achieving a goal, requiring targeted volitional efforts), perseverance and accuracy. The ability to work with hands under the control of consciousness, coordination of hand and eye movements (visual-motor coordination, meaningful motor skills) develops.

A lot of work was done with parents: a master class was held on this topic, consultations were placed in the corner for parents: “Motor skills and its role in the development of a child”, “Developing interest in working with paper”, “Paper crafts (quilling)” . The joint work of parents and children in making crafts satisfies the child’s need for active activity, the desire to complete the work, and gives the real embodiment of thoughts and imagination. In addition, in our preschool institution Exhibitions are periodically organized where parents and children have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills, abilities, and creative imagination.

Quilling is a special type of needlework. Using the ancient art of “paper rolling” you can create unique compositions and crafts. The simplicity of execution and the availability of the material from which paper creations are made allow completely inexperienced creators to do this. And what is so exciting and interesting about quilling? It will take very little diligence and effort for amazing creations to appear in his hands - appliqués, bouquets, boxes, voluminous toys and flower arrangements. Therefore in Lately Quilling crafts have become very popular. This area of ​​applied creativity allows children to develop not only imagination, but also patience, perseverance, and accuracy.

What is needed for quilling?

The main material, of course, is colored paper. It is advisable to use a special one, which wide range Sold as part of quilling kits or separately.

It is possible to use ordinary thin colored paper, pre-cut into narrow strips with a width of 2 to 9 mm. In addition, to twist paper spirals you cannot do without a special tool or needle. To make it more convenient to form paper curls, purchase a stencil. Be sure to take care of a good colorless glue that will not leave marks when creating quilling-style crafts. For children, it will be convenient to hold the parts with special tweezers. The basis for crafts or applications can be scrapbooking paper, colored cardboard, textured or themed paper.

Making flowers

1. Take a colored strip. Holding one end with a needle, begin to carefully twist. Lubricate the other end of the strip with glue and glue it to the slightly loosened resulting circle. The first petal is done!
2. Make several identical petals in a similar way. For the core of the flower, use paper of a different color.
3. The principle of making leaves is the same, but you need to squeeze a circle on one side with your fingers, giving the product the shape of a drop.
4. We decorate the flower. Glue a stem - a strip of green paper - onto the cardboard. Then we form flowers and leaves from the circles, gluing each element to the base separately.

Quilling for children- secrets of introducing creativity

2. Report the topic of the lesson

- Topic of today's lesson “Acquaintance with a new type of paper plastic “Quilling”.

3. Learning new material

- Recently it has become increasingly popularquilling , or paper rolling. This is what we will talk about today.

Quilling , from English word Quill (bird feather) is the art of making flat or three-dimensional compositions from long and narrow strips of paper twisted into spirals. Quilling is also called “paper filigree”.

Flowers and patterns are created from paper spirals, which are then usually used to decorate cards, albums, gift packaging, photo frames.

It is believed that, unlike origami, which originated in Japan, the art of paper rolling originated in Europe in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. In medieval Europe, nuns created elegant medallions by twisting paper with gilded edges onto the tip of a bird's feather. When viewed closely, these miniature paper masterpieces created the complete illusion that they were made of thin gold strips.

In the 15-16th century, quilling was considered an art, in the 19th century - a ladies' pastime (and almost the only handicraft worthy of noble ladies). For most of the 20th century it was forgotten. And only at the end of the last century quilling began to turn into an art again. In England, Queen Elizabeth was seriously interested in the art of quilling, and many of her creations are kept in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Nowadays, paper rolling is widely known and popular as a hobby in Western European countries, especially in England and Germany. But this art became most widespread when it “moved” to the East. The richest traditions of the finest graphics and plastic arts, papermaking and working with it have given the art of paper sculpture a new life.

In South Korea, there is an entire Association of Paper Art Lovers, uniting followers of various areas of paper art. The Korean school of quilling is somewhat different from the European one. Modern European works, as a rule, consist of a small number of details, they are laconic, reminiscent of mosaics, and decorate postcards and frames. Eastern masters create complex works that are more like masterpieces of jewelry. The finest volumetric “lace” is woven from hundreds of small parts.

To practice quilling, you do not need expensive tools and a specially equipped workplace. In order to make a composition of almost any complexity you will need the following materials and accessories:

- Awl . It should be about one millimeter in diameter. The awl rod is used to wind a spiral of paper strip. In this case, it is necessary to control the tension force of the paper; the handle of the tool should be comfortable for this purpose.

- Tweezers. The tips should be both sharp, precisely aligned, and flat. Notches at the end are undesirable because... may leave marks on paper. The squeezing force should be comfortable for your hands, providing a secure grip with the least amount of pressure. Use tweezers to hold the workpiece while applying glue and gluing it to the cardboard.

- Scissors. It is most convenient to work with small scissors with sharp tips. They must be well sharpened. For maximum precision cutting of fringes.

- Glue. The main requirement for glue is that it should not leave marks when drying. You can start with PVA.

- Compasses, ruler, pencil, stencil with circles of different diameters – For marking, future composition.

You can buy special paper for quilling in craft stores or make the blanks yourself. The most important thing is the thickness of the paper. It should be at least 60 grams per square meter (usually this information is indicated on the packages) otherwise it will not curl neatly and keep its shape.

Now comes the fun part. How can such wonderful work still be produced? It turns out everything is quite simple. The principle of creating masterpieces from paper: you need to wrap a strip of paper around the awl rod (you can use a simple toothpick), secure the end of the strip with glue, and then create a petal, drop, or some other shape. There are quilling patterns that can be used to create one or another pattern of stripes.

For work you will need double-sided colored paper, PVA glue, cardboard - as a background for creating a postcard.

4. Consolidation of the studied material. Practical work

Doing the exercise.Twist a spiral from strips of white or colored paper, try to make a “drop”, “eye” and other shapes.

Have you ever heard the word "quilling"? This name refers to a type of art that in Russian sounds like “paper rolling.” From this combination it is already more clear that we are talking about some kind of manipulation with paper. This is true. Paper rolling, also known as quilling, is a type of decorative and applied art, the essence of which is to create compositions from strips of paper from 1 to 15 mm wide, most often painted in different colors.

Paper rolling, researchers believe, originated in medieval Europe. At first, this type of decoration was used in the production of economy-class religious products: paper spirals and rings were used to create decorations for church books, icons, medallions, and then gilded, saving on real gold. It turned out, as they say, cheap and cheerful. From the monasteries, this type of art spread to the masses; noble gentlemen often practiced it, and for ladies from high society it was almost the only type of needlework available. Well, really, it’s not a good idea to prick their hands with needles.

But with the development of industry and the decline in the value of gold, the importance of paper rolling came to naught. In Europe, they forgot about him for more than a hundred years. But this type of art continued to develop in Asia: Korea in particular succeeded in preserving and developing quilling, and it was from this country that paper rolling made its grand entrance at the end of the twentieth century. Therefore, many people now mistakenly consider quilling to be a Korean art form.

To be completely precise, there is a distinction between the European school of quilling, laconic, restrained, with few components, and the Korean school of quilling, which uses complex, intricate compositions that can amaze with their scope, play of color and shape.

About 10 years ago, quilling appeared in Russia. And if at first rolling paper was ordered from Korea, now everything you need can be bought at almost any handicraft store, or, in extreme cases, via the Internet. This type of art is ideal for activities with children, and already at 4-5 years old children are able to create crafts from wide paper, and 10-year-old children can work with thin paper. This activity wonderfully develops fine motor skills, a sense of color, harmony, volume, perspective, perseverance, and patience. Quilling is good because it allows you to create compositions both flat and three-dimensional, three-dimensional, for example, figurines of angels or animals, baskets, Christmas tree decorations. At the same time, crafts are practically eternal, and some can even be used in careful play.

To practice quilling you will need:

— Special multi-colored paper. It can be smooth, single-layer, or double-layer: a corrugated paper is glued onto a smooth strip; this paper is wider than regular smooth paper. Smooth paper is used to create sophisticated compositions, and corrugated paper is used for substantial crafts, for example, Christmas tree decorations or toys. Smooth paper is usually sold in blocks different sizes with coloring of all colors going from white to black in one block. Corrugated paper It is sold either in sheets, which must be separated into strips according to the firmware, or in pre-packaged strips. The length of the strips can vary from 15 to 60 cm.

— Tool for screwing. This could be thin tweezers or a shoe awl, but it is easier to use a wooden or plastic toothpick split at the end. The tip of the strip is inserted into the slot and they begin to twist it into a tight roll of the desired size. If necessary, the strip can be cut or glued on.

— PVA glue in a bottle with a very thin spout

— Thermal gun and glue for it. The gun must be designed for a diameter of glue sticks of 5 mm. In addition, if you buy short packaged sticks in handicraft stores, the cost of glue will be much more expensive; it is much more economical to buy long sticks in construction stores, their cost is just a pittance.

— Ruler-template with round holes of different diameters for creating blanks of the same size. This is important if you need to make several identical parts, for example, flower petals or elements for a snowflake.

— Stationery scissors.

Of course, parents are interested in the cost of the question: are they expensive? Consumables for paper rolling. This question can be answered with the word “tolerant.” This, of course, is not a cheap cost, but not fabulous either, especially if you use Chinese-made paper. Savings on hot-melt adhesive are described above; the remaining components are very cheap.

There are a lot of master classes on working with paper rolling techniques on the Internet, so in this article we will not go into details. technological process.
