Starfish. Master class with step by step photos

Kushnareva Tatyana Nikolaevna - geography teacher, Secondary School No. 9, Azov, Rostov Region.

Dear colleagues, I am offering a Master Class on making a “Starfish” from salt dough. I believe that this work is relevant right now, since during the holidays children and their parents can make a wonderful souvenir. Summer is the height of active children's recreation in health camps; this master class will only brighten the leisure time of schoolchildren. Making a Starfish souvenir for children the best way knowledge about these amazing sea animals.
Target: Making a starfish from salt dough using the testoplasty technique.
Tasks:
- teach skills of working with salt dough;
- develop aesthetic taste, fine motor skills hands, mental processes - imagination, memory, thinking;
- to cultivate a sustainable interest in fine arts, a creative and aesthetic attitude towards the marine animal world.
Purpose: This master class is intended for schoolchildren aged 10-13, as well as teachers, parents and all those who like to create miracles with their own hands.
Purpose: Making such souvenirs greatly develops the creative imagination of both children and adults. A homemade souvenir will be a worthy gift or decoration as a refrigerator magnet for your kitchen.
Technique: Testoplasty, it seems to me, is very well suited for the implementation of my idea.

The word "star" itself is a misnomer, since these creatures are not actually fish. Starfish are echinoderms. There are many various types starfish, in fact, there are about two thousand of them. They inhabit every ocean in the world, including the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic and Southern Oceans, although the greatest diversity of sea stars is found in the Indian and Pacific Ocean. Although they also live in shallow water, they will never live in freshwater bodies. These invertebrate predators can live for thirty-five long years!

You already, my friend, of course
Heard something about me:
I'm always five-pointed
And I live at the very bottom.

Would you like to know some more Interesting Facts about starfish? If yes, I invite you to meet:
- One of amazing facts about starfish is that these creatures have no brains! As per star anatomy, they lack a proper central nervous system and instead have nerves that are found within and below their skin.
- The starfish does not have centrally located eyes as such, but instead has eyes on the tips of its arms, which can allow it to see light and dark, but not very clearly.
These were just a few amazing facts about starfish, there are actually many more. These sea creatures, despite their enormous popularity and diversity of species, are endangered due to pollution environment, especially due to oil spills. The culprit, of course, of all this is man. Therefore, the Master Class will make its contribution, and we will admire the sea inhabitants without destroying them, making them with our own hands. It is necessary for all of us to try, at least in this way, to prolong the life of our five-pointed friends in order to admire their grace and beauty.
Necessary materials:
PVA glue or Moment glue;
Flour;
Acrylic paints;
Brush;
Rhinestones, beads;
Salt.

For the New Year, you always want to decorate your house in an original way, make unusual Christmas tree decorations or other crafts. In today's master class, we would like to bring to your attention a handicraft by Tomara Bystrova Christmas tree toy made from salt dough in the shape of a star. I think there is no need to dwell once again on the uniqueness and beauty of products self made. You just need to do something with your own hands at least once and evaluate the quality and originality of the work. Following this MK, you have the opportunity to make a star from salt dough with your own hands and decorate a beautiful Christmas tree with it, or come up with another place for the craft in the decor of your apartment or house.

How to make a star from dough: step-by-step tutorial

As you understand, the main components of the future craft are the dough and a paper star template. Therefore, let’s not delay and knead the salt dough from the following ingredients.

• Flour - 0.5 cup;
• Salt - 0.25 cup; (for the dough it is advisable to use fine salt, “Extra” type)
• Sunflower oil - 1 tsp;
• Water - optional;
• Thread and bead.

The easiest recipe for making salt dough for crafts

Mix flour with salt, add sunflower oil and water. You need enough water so that after kneading the dough does not stick to your hands or crumble. Try adding 2 tables first. spoons, and then decide on the need to increase its quantity.

Roll out the dough to a thickness of 0.5 cm. Cut out the star template and proceed to the main steps of our master class. That is, we put a paper star on top of the dough and...

...carefully cut with a stack or regular kitchen knife toy preparation.

Now we make a cut on one side of the star in the same way as in the photo.

And we thread a thread with a bead or any other element inside it.

Carefully pinch the thread with toast.

We smooth out the edges of the craft, rubbing the rough edges with fingers dipped in water.

And put the product in the oven to dry for 15-20 minutes over medium heat, after sprinkling the baking sheet with flour.

You can check that the star is baked by tapping it on the table. Hearing a rather loud sound...

Before drying the product, cuts can be made. giving the star a unique pattern. After drying, all that remains is to paint the Christmas tree decoration with gouache, spray paint, or any other paint intended for this purpose.

We painted our star with silver spray paint. The end result was something like this.

And this is how the star looks on an artificial Christmas tree made of paper.

But on a large live Christmas tree it will look even more amazing and beautiful.

II Report the topic of the lesson.

Today we will learn how to mold sea ​​stars from salt dough. Interesting? And we will also color them!Our star will be one of the details of a large panel with which we will decorate your playroom.

III Introductory conversation.

Guys, take a piece of dough in your hands. Remember him. Try to give it some shape. How is it different from plasticine?

The dough is amazing plastic material for modeling: delicate, soft. Unlike regular plasticine, the dough does not stain your hands. When kneaded correctly, the salt dough does not crumble or crack, and is preserved sufficiently long time. Although it should be noted that the dough is a rather fragile material if handled carelessly.

The history of salt dough goes back to the times when people worshiped the gods of the natural elements. They could not explain the origin of rain, thunder, lightning, why day gives way to night, and night to day. They were very dependent on natural elements, because in order for a crop to grow, they needed sun, warmth and enough moisture. What if the summer is dry? Our ancestors were deeply convinced that it was necessary to appease the elements. And if they sprinkle the ground with water, then it will certainly rain, and if they bake a whole herd of animal figures from dough, then the number of livestock will increase, and the game in the forests will also increase.

For our ancestors, the Slavs, in ancient times the year began in March, and in order to invite spring to visit, they baked dough figurines of various birds and animals, the so-called larks. Children with “larks” climbed onto the roofs of barns and trees to call for a warm spring from distant lands. And the adults in the fields and hillocks sang “stonefly” songs, calling on the storks and cranes to quickly bring the long-awaited warmth on their wings. On the banks of the rivers they lit fires and danced in circles with songs and jokes. The holiday ended with the burning of an effigy of winter Mara, a symbol of death, in a fire.

What kind of holiday do you think it was? (Maslenitsa).

Such dough products were made not only for spring rituals, but also for winter holidays, as well as weddings. The figurines were given along with wishes for health, prosperity, wealth and good luck.

“I give you mukosol, so that you have bread and salt, so that there is abundance in the house,” - this is what they said on holidays in northern Russian villages, giving products made from salted dough.

Mukosol are not only funny figures made from salt dough, they played the role of a talisman at home. It was believed that any such craft found in the house is a symbol of wealth, prosperity and prosperity in the family. Over time, salt dough figures began to be painted and even varnished, and many years ago they were practically edible. The wives of Pomors gave figurines made of salt dough to their husbands who went fishing. These funny toys warmed the souls of sailors and saved them from hunger more than once. There were unsuccessful trips when food ran out, and then salt dough figurines came to the rescue.

Dough products were also used as children's toys.

The art of making dough products is not dead today, and handmade souvenirs are in great demand. This is a wonderful gift for any celebration and holiday. Both children and adults enjoy modeling.
From salt dough you can make simple figures and products, such as leaves, mushrooms, apples, and quite complex options - trees, figures of animals and people, as well as various multifaceted compositions.

Distinctive feature when working with this material is that no special tools or devices are required during the work process. It is best to sculpt with your hands or use primitive tools that are always at hand. It should be noted that products made from salt dough are quite heavy (dense), which does not allow creating compositions of large sizes. Therefore, volumetric compositions and panels should not be very large.

If you want, then arrange a master class at home for your parents and friends.

Salt dough recipe:

1 cup salt

1 glass of water

2 cups of flour

First dissolve the salt in the water, then add the flour. You can add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Knead until the dough becomes sufficiently dense and elastic. It should not stick to your hands.

Dough products can be painted with gouache or watercolors.

The finished product is dried. You can do it in the air, you can do it in the oven. It must dry well, otherwise it may begin to deteriorate from the inside. Then they are varnished.

But first let's think:what do we do first? How many parts do we divide the dough into? How to attach small parts? Why do you need to wet your fingers with water? Right.

Now let’s get down to work; attentive, hardworking, neat guys can handle it!

IV Practical work.

1. Show sample.

2. Work plan.

Outlining with a stencil

Uncover and sculpting of the mane and tail, eyes and nose.

Connecting fragments

Registration of work

3.Repetition of work rules.

Rules for working safely with a stack:

1. Pass the stack with your handle first!

2. Do not hold the stack with the tip up!

3. Don't swing it and don't play with it!

Flatten a piece of dough and make it flat.

Apply a stencil, cut out a figure in stacks starfish, fish.

Carefully transfer it to the base of the composition - cardboard, and handle the edges with a finger moistened with water.

Torn and sloppy edges of the product do not look aesthetically pleasing and spoil its entire appearance!

3.Sculpt balls of different diameters for starfish, mouth and fins for fish. Moisten the joints of parts with water.

Make the scales in stacks and decorate the fins and tail.

Fashion the remaining elements: seaweed, pebbles, air bubbles.

Color the elements of the composition with paints.

V. While doing the work, we conduct physical education.

A rowan tree grew by the river, (From a crouched position, gradual straightening of the torso, arms forward upward.)
And the river flowed and rippled. (Turns right and left with smooth hand movements.)
There is depth in the middle. (Bend forward, arms straight.)
There was a fish walking there. (Squats.)
This fish is the king of fish (Jumping.)
It's called a gudgeon. (Walk in place.)

Monitoring children's work during the lesson.

Control of workplace organization.

Monitoring the correct implementation of work techniques and compliance with safe work rules.

Providing assistance in case of difficulty.

Control of volume and quality of work.
