Lesson summary on Isothread technology

Isothread technology

Isothread is an original type of decorative and applied art, rooted in the folk craftsmen of England. English weavers came up with a special way of weaving threads. They drove nails into the boards and pulled threads onto them in a certain sequence. The result was openwork lace products that were used to decorate the home. Currently, the art of isothread is widely used for decorating products and household items, for interior decoration, and for making gifts and souvenirs.

Isothreading contributes to the aesthetic and mental, broadens horizons, develops artistic taste, forms a creative attitude towards the surrounding life and moral ideas, and teaches observation.

Of course, the isothreading technique requires manual dexterity and accuracy, and especially perseverance, but all this is acquired in the process of training. First, the sample is examined, its structural structure and implementation techniques are analyzed. Then the object is modeled, the base and thread color are selected. Using the isothread technique, you can create magnificent large decorative panels, still lifes, landscapes and even portraits, covers, ornaments, postcards, bookmarks and much more. Mastering this technique is quite simple if you carefully and consistently follow all the tips.

To work with isothread you will need the following materials:

• the basis on which, in fact, it is supposed to embroider (velvet paper, usually cardboard);
• what we will use to pierce holes in the base (an awl or a safety pin with a bead at the end);
• sewing threads (bobbin, floss, iris);
• tape or glue (to secure the ends of the threads on the wrong side);
• needle;
• thin foam plastic - a backing when piercing cardboard.

The technique of performing isothread is simple and accessible to people of any age. To master it, it is enough to know two basic techniques: - filling the corner; — filling the circle.

"Filling the corner" technique.

1. Draw any angle on the wrong side of the cardboard.
2. Using a ruler, divide each side of the angle into 6 (12 in total) equal parts (5 mm apart).
3. Number the resulting points, starting from the vertex. The vertex of the angle is designated by the point “0”.
4. Using a thicker needle or awl, placing foam under the cardboard, make punctures at all points except the top (“0”).
5. Thread the thread into a thinner needle.
6. Fill the corner according to the pattern, starting from the wrong side.

Typically, a stylized image for isothread consists of 2 geometric shapes - an angle and a circle - and their derivatives (star, square, triangle, oval, spiral, arc, teardrop). To master the isothread technique, it is enough to know 2 basic techniques - filling (stitching) a corner and a circle.

The angle can be any: straight, acute, obtuse. Stitching of any corner is carried out from the edge to the top, on the other side - from the top of the corner to the edge (in the diagrams the direction of movement to the puncture sites is shown by arrows).

"Filling the circle" technique.

1. Draw a circle (first with a small radius of 30-50 mm).
2. Divide the circle into 12 equal parts. After mastering the technique, you can divide the circle “by eye”, piercing the cardboard at equal intervals (the smaller the distance between the punctures, the more delicate and interesting the work turns out). It is important that there are an even number of dots.
3. Make punctures at the resulting points.
4. Thread the needle.
5. Fill the circle according to the diagram.

The same circle (oval) can be sewn with stitches of different lengths. The longer the stitch, the more filled the circle will be and the smaller the central hole will be and vice versa.

Stitching is carried out in accordance with the general procedure: - tie a knot at the end of the thread and bring the needle and thread to the front side at point 1; - make a stitch by sticking a needle at point 2; - along the wrong side, a broach is made to point 3; - make a stitch along the front side to point 4. Continue this way until the circle is completely filled, so that two threads come out of each hole. A star-shaped pattern is formed on the front side, and short broaches around the circumference are formed on the back side.

Tips for beginners.

1. When “filling the corner” on the front side, the threads are pulled from one side of the corner to the other, on the back side the stitches are located on the sides of the corner in the form of dash lines.

2. When “filling the circle”, a star-shaped pattern is obtained on the front side, and on the back the thread repeats the line of the circle.

3. If you need to lengthen the thread, you can fasten it from the wrong side and insert a new thread from the wrong side onto the face, or tie a new one to the end of the old thread and continue working.

To make the thread less likely to get tangled, it is better not to measure it too long. If trouble does occur, pull it back and try to dissolve it. At the beginning and at the end of work, secure the thread well. We use narrow tape, gluing thread trimmings and knots on the wrong side. You can avoid deformation of the cardboard if you do not stretch the thread too much. But if the thread tension is too loose, the pattern will turn out unclear.

After finishing the work, carefully cover the back side of the postcard with white paper. The picture can be glued onto a larger sheet of cardboard using PVA glue. This creates a contrasting frame and hides the underside of the work.

When working with this technology, younger schoolchildren develop:

— technological knowledge about working in the thread graphics technique;

— practical skills in working with string graphics techniques;

— spatial perception and analysis, visual perception in general, coordination in the “eye-hand” system are developed and improved;

— the need for competent organization of one’s leisure activities is fostered;

— positive qualities of personality and character are brought up (neatness, hard work, etc.);

- aesthetic perception and artistic taste develops.

During the classes.

1. Organizational moment.

- Dear Guys! Today we will talk about mood. What might the mood be like?

– Look carefully at each other and try to determine who is in the best mood.

2. Updating knowledge.

- Each of you loves to draw. You draw with pencils, paints, a stick on the snow and a finger on a frozen window, chalk on the asphalt and many other tools and materials. It turns out that you can learn to draw with thread. This is another type of arts and crafts that is done on a dense base. We will find out what it is called by solving the crossword puzzle

– Answer to questions 1–3:

1–3. Aunt Motya always holds him in high esteem - A one-handed little thing, A steel toe, And a linen tail. ( Thread, needle.

)

2. In winter, Santa Claus placed oddly shaped thickets of roses on the windows. ( Pattern.

)

4. Experienced tool – Not big, not small. He has a lot of worries: He cuts and shears. ( Scissors.

)

5. I will carefully assemble the stitch into a pattern, and embroider it in any colors. I am a bright thread woven into the braid and I am always in it. ( Floss.

)

6. I’ll walk around a little hot, and the sheet will become smooth. I can correct imperfections and draw arrows on my trousers. ( Iron.

)

7. And I am the keeper of needles and pins. ( Needlecase.

)

Check ( Standard

)

– So, we found out that a new type of embroidery is “ISONIT” - that’s the name of this type of activity.

— What is ISOTIME? Here are the works that can be done using the string graphics method. – What is Isothread? ( String graphics, thread design.

)

Its advantage is that thread drawing is done quickly and accurately the first time. And there is room for your imagination to run wild. Using this technique, you can make greeting cards, souvenir covers, bookmarks, decorative panels, and even decorate items of clothing.

Expensive materials are not needed during classes. Any old boxes or pieces of wallpaper can be used. For work, you can use a variety of threads - sewing, floss, iris, wool, and so on. All this is always present in any family.

– But before we start embroidering, let’s repeat the safety rules ( reminders on the board and in needle books

).

– The origins of this creativity came from the masters of England. They worked like this: they hammered nails into a flat wooden board, onto which they then pulled threads. Nowadays, velvet paper is more often used - it has a ready-made color background.

The design in the painting can be supplemented with bead embroidery or fabric appliqué. But it is still recommended to start with threads. The thread design technique is quite simple. You can easily see this for yourself. If you want to come up with and make “your own” picture, which would be truly interesting both in concept and in execution technique, be patient and do not be upset at the first failures.

3. Practical work.

The technique of performing isothread is simple and accessible to people of any age. To master it, it is enough to know two basic techniques:

— filling the corner;

— filling the circle.

Corner Filling

• Draw any angle on the wrong side of the cardboard.
• Divide each side of the corner into 12 equal parts.
• Number the resulting points, starting from the vertex.
• Make punctures with a needle at all points except the apex.
• Thread the needle.
• Fasten the thread on the wrong side to fill the corner according to the proposed pattern.

– To help you with your work, instruction cards No. 1, No. 2.

Filling a circle

• Draw a circle.
• Divide the circle into 12 equal parts.
• Use a needle or awl to make punctures at all points.
• Thread the needle.
• Fasten the thread on the wrong side to fill the circle according to the proposed pattern.

4.Independent work.

– And now, together with Princess Needle and her friends Threads, Skillful Hands will teach you how to draw with thread. But first, let’s reveal the secrets that you definitely need to know before starting to work using the isothread technique.

1. When making a corner on the front side, the threads are pulled from one side of the corner to the other (a), on the wrong side - the stitches are located strictly on the sides of the corner in the form of dotted lines (b).
2. When filling the circle along the front side, a star-shaped pattern is obtained (a), and along the back side the thread repeats the line of the circle (b).

- Look at your cardboard boxes. An angle is drawn on them. On the sides of the corner you can see pierced holes-dots. There is a number next to each dot. Note the order in which the points are numbered.

(I show on the demonstration material the order of numbering of points.

) Please take a needle and thread, and let's get to work.
Insert a needle into point No. 1 on one side of the corner (shown). Now we find point No. 1 on the other side of the corner, stick the needle into this point from the front side, and bring the needle to the wrong side of the cardboard. Now we find point No. 2 next to the point from where the thread was pulled. Let's stick the needle into this point. Next, we pass the needle to point No. 2 on the other side of the corner - from the front side to the wrong side. Now we find point No. 3 next to the point from where the thread was pulled. Ongoing instruction from the teacher ( as students complete independent work
)

5. Summing up the lesson. Exhibition of works.

– Did you like the lesson?

Progress of the lesson: 1.
1. Organizational moment.
Teacher:
Hello, guys!
Do you like to draw? What can you draw with? Students:
Pencils, paints, pens on the computer.
Teacher:
Have you tried drawing with thread? Today we will get acquainted with a new technique used in needlework. This technique is called “Isothread”.

2.
2. Main stage
The teacher presents to students the presentation “Isothread.
Introduction" ( Appendix No. 1
).
“Isothread” or “Thread Graphics” is a graphic design made with threads stretched in a certain order on a solid background. Isothread, as an art form, first appeared in England. The background of the picture should be dense, so you need to use cardboard or velvet paper. To complete the design, floss, iris, and sewing threads are used. Currently, the art of isothread is used to decorate products and household items, for interior decoration, and for making gifts and souvenirs. To master isothread, it is enough to know two techniques: filling a circle and filling a corner.
Today we will learn about filling a circle.
Teacher
: Before practical work, let's guess the riddle: I am small in stature, thin and sharp.
I look for a path for myself with my nose, I drag my tail behind me. What is this? Students
: Needle.
Teacher
: Correct.
Today we will work with a needle. Let's remember the safety rules when working with a needle and scissors. Students name the safety rules when working with a needle and scissors. Teacher:
I have one more riddle for you: We made a snowball, put a hat on it, attached a nose and in an instant it turned out……….
Students:
Snowman.
Teacher:
Well done.
I would like to invite you to make a “Snowman” postcard using the isothread technique (the teacher demonstrates the finished product). How many parts does a snowman have? Students
: Out of three.
Teacher:
What figures does our snowman consist of?
Students:
From circles.
Teacher:
That's right.
You have templates of three circles. Take cardboard. On the non-colored side, trace the circle patterns. Let's divide the large circle into 24 parts, and the middle and small circle into 12 parts. Let's place points on the circle. Number the points on each circle in a clockwise direction. Pierce each point with a needle. Teacher:
We've been sitting too long.
Let's rest a little and move around. What are they making a snowman out of? Students
: From the snow.
Teacher:
What’s on the snowman’s head?
Students:
Bucket.
Teacher
: We will play snowballs.
We divide into two teams. The team that throws the most snowballs into its bucket wins (physical exercises). Teacher:
Well done.
Let's get back to our work. We will fill the circle. Let's start with a large circle (the teacher uses the example to explain the algorithm for filling the circle and fills it in). Students repeat the teacher's actions. The teacher monitors the children and individually helps students who are experiencing difficulties. 3. Completion of the lesson. Teacher:
So, we will finish our work for today.
Let's see what we did (the teacher examines the students' work, encourages or gives advice). Did you enjoy drawing with thread? Well done everyone. We will continue our work in the next lesson. Sources used:
