"War through the eyes of children." Drawings and reflections
Photo report from the exhibition of children's drawings “The Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.”
Not much time will pass and the opportunity to recreate the “living history” of the war will be destroyed forever. This is why children’s interest in the events of the terrible 40s on the eve of the 69th anniversary of the Great Victory is so valuable.
What motivates the guys, what prompts them to return again and again to the events of 70 years ago? They are looking for their past, their roots, studying the history of the war not only from fiction, documentary essays about the war, but also from the memories of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers passed down from generation to generation. The young authors recorded their stories - this is the living history of the Great Patriotic War. We, adults, understand: the worst thing that could happen to our ordinary children, who, fortunately, did not hear the howl of bombs, did not know the horrors of war, is ignorance and insensitivity. The worst thing is because without yesterday there is neither today nor tomorrow.
For the essays “War through the eyes of children”, for the respect shown to the veterans who defended the independence of our Motherland in a brutal battle with fascism, for the memory of the heroic past of our people, I thank the students of the creative association “Needlewoman”:

I thank the young artists participating in the fine arts competition “Forever in the Memory of the People.”
Many years have passed since the Great Patriotic War, but the stories of grandfathers and great-grandfathers resurrect the terrible image of the past, so that we know that it was so, so that we would take care of the world that the soldiers won for us. To remember the heroes who gave the Motherland the Great Victory!
The most significant day in our history. The day when Nazi Germany fell. The day when the Soviet flag was raised over the Reichstag. A day that went down in history as the day of the greatness of the Soviet Army. This day is May 9th.
On the eve of the main holiday of the country, our creative association held an essay and drawing competition “War through the eyes of children.” An exhibition of children's drawings on the theme “The Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945” began its work. The exhibition presents works in different genres. The drawings displayed in the hall are the work of our students, young and old. Some of the artists recently turned 7 years old, but their paintings are already on display at the exhibition.
June. Russia. Sunday.
Dawn in the arms of silence.
A fragile moment remains
Before the first shots of the war.
Get up, soldier!
Well, why are you quiet?!
Get up, dear!
The earth will give you strength...
But he didn't get up. The poet will write a poem,
And he will read it aloud over the mass grave.
It was forty-one. There was a fierce battle
For the Motherland, for the blue sky.
For you and I to breathe...
Let us remember those who did not come from the battle.
N. Seleznev.
And the fallen are all alive in our hearts, -
They stand silently next to us.
(V. Snegirev ■)
The Great Patriotic War is a page in our history that cannot be ignored. For a peaceful sky, for bread on the table, we are indebted to our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, who, without sparing their lives, fought against a fierce enemy for the sake of a happy future for their children.
As a sign of eternal memory and respect in our country, it is customary to give veterans flowers and themed cards made by small children's hands. Such masterpieces are worth more than any awards, because they testify that even children know and are proud of the exploits of their ancestors. Today we will tell you how and what kind of drawings for children about war you can draw on the eve of a great holiday or simply to consolidate the knowledge gained from a history lesson.
So, we bring to your attention a master class on how to draw the Patriotic War step by step for children with a pencil.
Example 1
Boys always associate war with military equipment and aviation. Tanks, helicopters, airplanes, various weapons - these are all achievements of scientific progress, without which victory would have come at an even greater cost to us. Therefore, we will begin our first lesson, dedicated to drawings about the war (1941-1945) for children, with a detailed description of how to draw a tank step by step.
First of all, let's prepare everything you need: pencils and colored pencils, an eraser and a blank sheet of paper.
Continuing to improve our skills, let's draw a military aircraft:
Example 2
Of course, little princesses may not like drawing military equipment. Therefore, we have prepared separate drawings for them that can be used as a greeting card:
As you can see, it is not at all difficult for a child to draw such simple pictures about the war, the main thing is to show a little imagination and patience.
From the title it is already clear what we will talk about. We will study how to draw war with a pencil step by step. It won’t be Star Wars and Darth Vader, or even a shooter game, but a real war! Three soldiers in a trench, with piles of military equipment. In order to draw all this, you will need a lot of knowledge about military affairs. You can, of course, sit down to play WoT, but in the end you won’t draw anything. Who doesn’t know this is such a super action game with the participation of tanks, which has gathered a huge number of gamers in our country. By the way, the yellow-faced Chinese are no less interested in this. It seems that half of their population goes in for sports, judging by the number of Olympic medals in 2012, but the second is mired in the whirlpool of online games. For the fact that half of our population has been staring at an LCD monitor for two years now, while at the same time managing to stain the gaming mouse with greasy fingers from dinner and pour coffee on the keyboard... let’s all say “Thank you” to Wargaming! Although God bless him. Now let's take a break from tanks and try to draw military actions with the participation of real ones. There are five steps ahead.
Step one First, let's outline the people in motion. Head, position of the torso, arms, legs.
Step two Now let's think about what will be around our soldiers: this is a fence, stones, logs. Let's show their outlines.
Step three Let's dress our fighters: helmet, pants, boots. Let's equip one of them with a bag. Let’s draw the face profile of the one closest to us. We will surround the fence with barbed wire.
Step Four Let's add details: barbs on the wire, belts on people's clothes, a spatula, etc.
Step five Let's do the shading. There are darker areas on the clothing at the folds. Let's darken the areas on the pillars. Well, here are the soldiers against the backdrop of a military and completely unpicturesque landscape.
See similar military equipment drawing lessons.
So today, continuing the military theme and ignoring all sorts of fantasy and the like, you and I will draw a really cool dude with a sniper rifle. In anticipation, I’ll tell you a little about snipers: So, a sniper is a specially trained dude who will give odds to any eagle eye, since, aiming at a small peephole, he manages to hit the target and hit that very target. Here are the types of snipers:
So, let's get creative.
Step one: Draw an oval head at the top of the sheet. From there downwards there is a large body. We will outline other parts of the body with large oval shapes. The man holds military equipment in his hands, but so far it is only an elongated figure.
Step two We gradually transform all the defining details into the human body. Some details of the clothing are already visible. Let's give the rifle the desired shape.
Step Three Draw the clothes: a T-shirt, a cap, rolled-up pants, and shoes. Let's pay more attention to weapons. It is squeezed by strong gloved fingers. By the way, there are folds on the trousers and gloves. Now let's move on to the face. The eyes are covered with dark glasses, and a small ear is clearly drawn. There is a thick beard on his face.
Step Four Everything that we have drawn needs to be strengthened: outline, add lines, and then draw in the missing details. This is how we ended up with a strong man, holding a serious gun in his hands and carefully watching the target.
I also advise you to look at drawing lessons for other types of weapons, for example.
Today we will tell you what drawings on the theme of war you can draw for the holiday “Victory Day”. This great holiday informs us that in 1945 we won a victory over Nazi Germany. The 1941 war was the worst and claimed many lives. Now, celebrating this holiday, we pay tribute to our grandfathers and great-grandfathers for their victory!
If you want to draw drawing on the theme of the Great Patriotic War, then we will help you with this! Here are the options for themes for drawing war:
1. Battlefield (tanks, planes, military);
2. In the trench (a military man shoots from a trench, a doctor bandages a wound in a trench);
3. Portrait of a military man or full-length;
4. The return of a soldier from the war.
Here is a lesson on this topic that we have prepared for you. It shows a fight between two soldiers on the battlefield. This drawing is quite simple to make; you can color it with pencils, paints or any other way.
We have also prepared pictures for you to draw. There is children's drawing on the theme of war and several examples of pictures on the same topic. You can simply sit in front of your computer and draw any of these pictures with a pencil.
And also here are some variants of drawings on the theme of war, drawn with a pencil or pen.
We have developed several step-by-step lessons especially for beginning artists. How to learn to draw a tank, a military plane or a rocket with a pencil - this is what you can learn, and if you come up with a drawing theme and combine several of our lessons into one, you will get a complete drawing on the theme of the Great Patriotic War!
