You need to pay attention to the shape, it looks like a circle that consists of petals, ask the children what parts any flower consists of, in the middle they have a center in the form of a circle, specify the color, green leaves are attached to the stem. There are many beautiful plants around, but flowers are the most festive and brightest of them all; they will help create a joyful mood.

The following are the tasks that will need to be completed. They can be divided into several groups: moral education, development of creative abilities associated with the development of fine motor skills, nurturing independence and self-confidence, and the desire to develop an interest in art.
Preparation
It is necessary to indicate what should be used in these classes. It should be taken into account that each child should receive handouts for work. You will also need demonstration equipment and materials with which the teacher will teach the children.
Usually, shortly before the main lesson, a preparatory lesson is held, during which the children are given additional information, trying to awaken interest in the topic of the lesson and the technique of performing the work. For a drawing lesson you need paints, brushes, sheets of drawing paper, jars of water and wet wipes.
Note! In order to draw a bouquet correctly, you will need a sample drawing.
Preliminary lesson
On it they talk with kids about the holiday of March 8th. Children and the teacher observe the growth of flowers in the garden or flowerbed. Kids are taught about the structure of plants and shown their parts (stem, petals, etc.) and told about various techniques for drawing flowers.
Main part
The outline then describes how the main lesson should proceed. It is convenient to format this description as a table with three columns. On the left, they indicate which part of the lesson this relates to: introductory, main or final. The central column indicates what actions the teacher should take, and the right column describes the expected response of the children. To depict flowers, you can use not only painting with a brush or fingers, but also with cotton swabs.
We need to remember this

Exhibition of drawings
What event can the lesson be timed to coincide with?
Children's poems are read to kids about how the snow melts and how spring replaces winter. Then they ask about what month this happens. The children answer that in March. The teacher asks them to say what holiday is in March. The kids say that this is Mother's Day, the eighth of March.
The teacher offers to come up with a gift that can please the mother. After discussion, everyone comes to the conclusion that they can give her a painted bouquet of flowers.
Practical part of the lesson
Stage 1. Pencil sketch
Children take a landscape sheet and place it vertically in front of them. Select a vase template, prepared in advance, and trace it with a simple pencil. The teacher shows in advance on the sheet where the template needs to be attached; before the child traces it, you need to make sure that the template is correctly positioned on the sheet.
Important! The teacher draws the children's attention to the fact that the template needs to be placed at the bottom of the sheet in the middle, so that there is plenty of space left at the top.
Using a simple pencil, mark the center of the flowers at the top and draw three small circles; you may need the help of an adult to mark the circles on the sheet. If your child fails to draw it correctly, you can erase it with an eraser and draw it again.
With the help of the teacher, children draw lines from the circles to the vase with a simple pencil; these will be flower stems; the line can be curved. The vase will be opaque, so the stems are drawn only to the top edge of the vessel.
Note! Children should be told not to put too much pressure on the pencil, draw the lines lightly, barely touching, otherwise the sheet of paper can be damaged and the pencil will be visible through the layer of paint.
Stage 1. Pencil sketch
Stage 2. Picture of flowers
Children take brushes. Both watercolors and gouache are suitable for this type of work; you should definitely repeat the rules of working with brushes with your children.
The teacher helps the children choose a bright color that mothers will be pleased to see; it can be orange, yellow, blue, red. The teacher selects orange and shows on a sample how to draw petals. You need to dip the brush in a jar of water, wet it slightly, and dip the tip in the chosen paint.
Important! Children need to be reminded that there is no need to wet the brush too much in water; excess water should be wiped off on the edge of the jar. Do not shake the brush; you must carefully apply the liquid with the tip of the bristles.
The teacher shows how to find the center of a flower, draw a loop around it, then paint it orange. Draw another loop nearby and also paint over it until they finish drawing all the petals around the center. The circle in the center is not painted over, left white. For the remaining gerberas, you can take a different color and draw the same petals around the center.

Now you need to paint over the middle, to do this you need to dip your brush in blue pigment and paint over all the flower cores.
Wash the brush again in water, pick up a grassy green color, draw it along the line outlined earlier, this is how you get a stem.
Note. The teacher reminds that you need to add plant leaves, ordinary semicircular leaves, to the stem.
Stems without leaves look unsightly and the flowers appear lonely. For each line you need to draw a leaf or two on the side. The teacher helps to draw an arc with a brush with green paint from above and below, and paint over the resulting leaf; you need to draw a line in the middle of the sheet. So we depict one leaf on each stem, or you can make several leaves. You need to look carefully at the stems, if there is empty space left, then you need to draw a leaf there to make the bouquet for mom seem more magnificent.
Stage 2. Flower image
Stage 3. Coloring a vase
The teacher reminds you that you need to paint the vase. To finish the drawing, you need to put yellow color on the brush, do not wet the sheet of paper too much. It is important to paint the pot without going beyond the contour line to make it look neat. When the moisture dries, you can decorate the vase with a pattern of your choice. Children take paint of a different color and draw a pattern of lines, dots and circles.
Note. For children who quickly completed the task, you can offer to decorate their vase with a pattern of peas, lines, dots, and sticks. To do this, the teacher needs to draw possible variants of the patterns in advance in order to clearly show the children what such an ornament might look like.
During the lesson, the music of A. Vivaldi “Spring” is played.
As the task progresses, the teacher monitors the correct observance of all stages of the work and provides assistance in the form of recommendations and brush movements. Ensures accuracy in work and correct application of paint, helps children if the paint has spread.
Stage 3. Finished drawing

For any mother, the best gift for March 8th will be a drawing made diligently and diligently. Everyone associates this holiday with the first rays of the sun in spring, with a bouquet of tulips and pleasant surprises for loved ones. Children also want to be part of this women's holiday, so everyone has a question about what they can draw for their mother on March 8th.
This question is asked by many children, from those still in kindergarten to graduates. After all, every year I want to give my mother an original and bright surprise. But not everyone can come up with a colorful design or an exciting theme.
Pencil drawing for mom “Spring bouquet” for March 8
Before you start drawing for mom on March 8, think about what materials you will use to make it. Drawing with paints looks bright, but there is not always access to paints and water, and not all children can paint small details with brushes. In this case, it is better to use pencils.
In order to draw flowers for a drawing for mom on March 8, you will need:
- Set of colored pencils
- Simple pencil
- Eraser
- Sheet of white paper
- Black liner
With light movements we draw lines that indicate mimosa branches and the outlines of future flowers. It will show mimosa circles on the branches. And in place of the outlines of the flowers we draw violets. Above we draw a daffodil. If these flowers are not to your liking, then you can choose another spring flower - tulip, hyacinth. At the bottom of the bouquet, draw a bow and ribbon.
It is customary for us to give a bouquet with an odd number of flowers, so take this point into account. Don’t forget to add a congratulation in the form of the words “Happy March 8!” The inscription can be highlighted with a black liner. Use the eraser to remove unnecessary and auxiliary lines. We begin to color the drawing - the mimosa is drawn in yellow, and its stems are green.
Color the middle of the daffodil with yellow and orange pencil, and color the petals with a faint blue color. Also, the centers of the violets will be painted yellow, and the petals will be painted purple. Make the ribbon red and the inscription bright, and the stems and leaves are traditionally green.
Such a drawing can be presented on a sheet of paper, or you can draw such a bouquet on a postcard.
Drawing for mom on March 8th from her daughter
A cute drawing for March 8th is the most expensive gift for mom. Girls are more inclined to draw tender and touching pictures. A drawing for March 8 for a mother from a daughter may contain a bouquet of her mother’s favorite flowers with an inscription, which is very traditional for a holiday drawing. Now all that remains is to learn how to draw those same mother’s favorite flowers.
You can use your ability to draw flowers in a drawing like this - you can replace the tulips on it with any other flowers that your mother loves.
Many people's favorite flowers are tulips, so children try to depict them on cards and drawings. They can be drawn individually, in a bouquet, or in a vase.
Let's look at how to put a bouquet of tulips in a vase.
Let's first draw the contours of the future vase - a circle and a cylinder above a circle or oval.
Let's depict how the flower stems stick out above the vase and draw circles on the stems, which will soon turn into tulips. We turn each circle into a tulip and erase the extra lines. Now you can clarify the contours of the vase and also remove unnecessary lines.
Select each tulip bud and paint it with different colors - from yellow to dark red. The glass of the vase is depicted with blue chaotic lines.
