A bright child's view of the beauty of God's world
The diocesan stage of the children's creativity competition “The Beauty of God's World” has ended in Tver. A commission chaired by Metropolitan SAVVA of Tver and Kashin announced the names of the winners of this stage. Their works will be presented at the international stage of the competition.
The themes of the young artists’ drawings are extremely diverse. The main thing here: the ability to capture and convey the harmony of creation - in the small, fleeting, in the depiction of people, nature, God's temple. The words of His Holiness Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' KIRILL very accurately reveal the meaning of the competition:
With all the diversity of the presented works of authorship, there is something main that unites them: they were created by children who love their parents and friends, their teachers and mentors, our holidays and everyday life, our common culture and the same Motherland for all. And their work convincingly testifies to this.
Drawing on the theme of the world through the eyes of children:
Children see this world without distortion, directly. They feel it and try to display it in their own way. These paintings are full of kindness, sincerity, beauty, brightness.
Over time, receiving new knowledge from parents and adults, the child begins to develop a different vision of the world. For children, drawing is not just an activity, it is an art. For them, this is a way of understanding the world, acquiring new experience, and forming their own view of the surrounding reality.
At school
September 21 is celebrated as the International Day of Peace. Children's understanding of what the world is, how they see it, perceive it, is important for adults.
Children have their own idea of the world. When asked what peace is, schoolchildren say that for them it is kindness, friendship, and generosity. Examples of drawings confirm this idea of children.
For some schoolchildren, the world is their own family, happy, cheerful, healthy.
In peace paintings you can often see doves, which are considered symbols of peace.
And some people imagine the world as constant movement and activity. Such drawings seem to convey the energy of their authors, their activity, and understanding of constant changes in life.
However, everyone has their own view of the world. Interesting, controversial, and original are the works of schoolchildren who moved away from depicting the world in standard forms and preferred to convey it in their own way.
Children can create drawings not only on pieces of paper. Children create their creative works on the asphalt.
in kindergarten
Small children are not able to verbally convey the range of feelings that rage inside them.
Therefore, such little ones can convey their emotions and experiences with the help of their drawings.
Often such creative drawings are not complete. Children do not always see the ends of the paper, they simply display their understanding.
Very often there is a rainbow in the drawings of preschoolers.

“God’s world through the eyes of a young naturalist”: Solar system
We have long been accustomed to the fact that the Sun appears over the horizon every morning, that the seasons change each other, and even the fact that we simply have something to breathe does not surprise us at all. But there is something to be surprised here!
This year, as part of the project “God’s World Through the Eyes of a Young Naturalist,” a summer scientific and experimental camp for junior schoolchildren at the Orthodox Center for the Development of Children and Youth in the Name of St. VMC. Catherine at St. Andrew's Church in Kaliningrad.
The first week the guys studied the features of the Solar system: they analyzed the most common hypotheses of its origin, determined what forces keep the entire Solar system in harmony and “balance”, preventing planets from flying apart, discussed the uniqueness of planet Earth as the only one suitable for life, together The teachers and I even made our own little planetarium: we worked for several days with 58 hands! And now they will definitely tell you that neither with an explosion, nor with a collision of two giant planets, nor with the help of any other destructive force, their tiny and simple solar system, much less a real one, could have been created! And if the force of gravitational attraction was a little more or a little less, then all the planets would either fly apart or fall into the Sun.
Of course, they talked a lot about Biblical history. The guys asked a lot of questions.
This year, for the first time, the camp pays special attention to folk games. For this purpose, the Center’s teachers underwent special training at seminars, because few people know these games now.
Also, for the first time, volunteers are helping at the camp - these are wonderful guys, graduates of the senior group of the Sunday school of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
There are still seven weeks of an interesting scientific journey ahead, which is called a journey from the macrocosm to the microcosm.
This became possible thanks to the Collaboration Foundation, because it was thanks to their financial support that the Center was able to purchase modern scientific equipment that allows us to look into the world of microorganisms and cells.

Headings: Uncategorized, Cathedral News Tags: holiday, eventDrawing on the theme of the underwater world:
The underwater world always attracts little artists with its beauty, grace, and uncertainty.
By drawing underwater pictures, you can express your imagination, because there is still so much unknown in the expanses of water.
At school
The underwater world is unique, rich, diverse, and simply beautiful. By creating works on the theme of the underwater world, you can not only reflect reality, but also connect your imagination.
Schoolchildren love to draw sea creatures.
An interesting option for drawings are images using the grattage technique.
In this case, the drawing is created by scratching with a sharp object or tool on paper that has been previously filled with ink.
Examples of schoolchildren's work
in kindergarten
To draw the underwater world, you first need to find out how the baby imagines his future picture. You can make this task easier if you first look at several illustrations of sea creatures. If a child has watched cartoons about the inhabitants of the seas, then it will be much easier for him to draw.
When creating a drawing, you must first mark the boundaries of water and air, draw sand, and add plants. It is advisable to do all these sketches with a simple pencil; the lines should be barely noticeable so that they can be picked up if necessary.
After creating such details, you can move on to depicting the sea inhabitants themselves. Fish can be varied, here you can listen to your child’s fantasies. First, it is better to draw the entire drawing with a single-color pencil, and then decorate the finished drawing. Let your child choose the colors himself.
One of the earliest drawing options is finger painting. Preschoolers love these kinds of drawings. In creative works it is difficult to see beautiful lines and finished drawings, but such works are the first manifestations of a child’s creative abilities.

Drawing of the amazing world created by man:
A person not only enjoys, but is amazed at the creations of nature. He creates his own world, where the author of unique masterpieces is the man himself. This world is constantly changing, supplemented by new ideas, from which unique creations emerge.
At school
The amazing world that appeared thanks to man is precisely the world where there are the creations of man himself.
Therefore, the drawings should contain those objects, creations that could not appear without human participation.
Such objects include cars, trains, ships, skyscrapers, city buildings, roads, spaceships, objects of human fantasy.
in kindergarten
A drawing by a preschool child is a kind of story, which is made using images using a pencil and paint.
Most often, children's drawings contain rockets, airplanes - everything related to the conquest of space.
Of the objects that testify to human creativity on earth, preschoolers often depict cars, ships, and tall buildings.
Drawing on the theme of a world without war:
The child perceives this world in all its colors, with all its manifestations, with the positive and negative sides of life. Therefore, everyone has their own understanding of a world without war.
At school
Drawings by children who study at school reflect the knowledge that children acquired during their studies. There is a lot of military equipment in the drawings.
Often such drawings convey the emotional state of their author.
Children try to compare two lives: peaceful and war, in order to show that life without war is the main task that should be of interest to modern society.
Children who cannot independently protect themselves from violence turn their work to adults so that they create all the conditions for a peaceful life.
Children's drawings often contain symbolic symbols of peaceful life - doves, the world that is in the hands of man.
in kindergarten
Preschool children who have developed imaginative thinking are characterized by the presence in the drawings of specific images that are associated with the concept of “war.” Therefore, you can often see the presence of military equipment in creative works.
Children also depict symbolic images - the eternal flame, the dove of peace.
Life without war is depicted in bright colors, where there is joy and smiles.

Children have an amazing ability: they do not divide the world into black or white. Their world is rich in various bright colors. Perhaps that is why children's works are so warm, spontaneous, and attractive.
