Decorating with home-made wall posters before the New Year is an old good tradition. The most interesting thing to do them do it yourself with your children. The new year 2020 will be held under the sign of the Rat, which means that she, as the main character, can also be woven into the storyline of the poster.

In pre-Internet times, only creative individuals gifted with artistic talent could undertake the creation of a real poster or wall newspaper. Today, everyone can do it. The main thing is to arm yourself with desire, patience and imagine: what do you want to get in the end. And in schools, kindergartens, kindergartens, circles still practice this type of mass creativity, and even hold poster competitions. Therefore, it is interesting to find out the sequence of preparation for the process and how to execute wall newspapers.

What to portray

You need to start developing ideas with the definition of the main character. More often than others, they use images of Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, Snowman, Christmas tree, New Year's costume carnival, winter fairy tales and a symbol of the coming year, in 2020 it is a Rat.

Useful tips for designing a New Year poster:

1. Fairy-tale characters and main characters should occupy a minimum of 50% and a maximum of 80% of the space. Do not fill the entire space to the eyeballs, the abundance of details and small pictures does not allow to perceive the plot as a whole.
2. In places not filled with thematic heroes, additional small elements or small congratulatory inscriptions are placed.
3. The leading figure in the plot is more logical to place in the center of the picture, but it is also allowed to be balanced at the edges. If this helps in the implementation of the main idea of ​​the layout of the characters. In this case, a congratulatory text is written in the center.
4. The minimum poster size starts from A4 format, but better than A3, A2 or A1.
5. Drawing in large format is recommended after the concept has been worked out on a small template.

Before forming the blank and preparing the template, you should find out where it will hang. In the school gym, on the wall of the apartment, in the foyer of the circle, in the House of Culture or in the reception room of the kindergarten. If there are clear requirements and the work is being prepared for the competition, then you should carefully familiarize yourself with the situation, the permitted techniques and ways of fulfilling the idea.

Layout and Template

The primary template for a poster is not a rigid design. Rather, a sketch on paper of any format, even on a notebook sheet. When this is collective creativity, new ideas will be constantly added, and the template will have to be redone several times. Therefore, arm yourself with a piece of paper, a pencil and arrange objects.

If you have doubts about your own creativity, use blanks and ready-made templates from the Internet.

Such blanks can be scaled, enlarged to the desired size, then printed and gently painted. It is easy to combine several images agreed on the subject, group them into one plot. If the final image should be larger than A4 format, then enlarge to the desired size, print on the printer in parts. Then glue the standard sheets on the back with adhesive tape or glue, and then glue them to the large paper, to give rigidity. This will save money on paying for large format printing in specialized photo shops or printing houses.

The wall newspaper is suitable as a basis: whatman paper, cardboard or a cut of dense wallpaper. Plain office paper will get wet from glue, paints and other actions when assembling parts. When each section of the poster consists of complex parts, it is better to stick them in advance and leave to dry separately. After all the elements have completely dried, a common wall newspaper can be collected.

What to add

So that the poster does not look like an ordinary picture, it is diversified with congratulations, rhymes, fairy tales, New Year theme jokes, myths about the symbol of the coming year. If the wall newspaper is made for home, then you can write address congratulations to each family member or guest who comes to celebrate the New Year. If the Rat is not a central figure in the composition, then you can simply add its image as a separate thematic element.

Interesting wall newspaper designs:

1. Traditional hand-drawn. But this is not necessarily a freehand drawing. Templates and blanks are suitable, but it’s more interesting to paint and style them manually. In the center, from one edge or sides, a text block with a congratulation, song or story is placed.
2. Wall newspaper coloring. Ideal for collective creativity in the process of celebrating the New Year. Black and white blanks are glued to the paper, and children and invited guests will color the pictures. The jointly performed result of creativity will take pride of place on the wall after applying the last stroke.
3. Volume wall newspaper. Quilling techniques are suitable for them - paper folded in a special way; patchwork - patchwork or fabric mosaic; bonding of natural materials.
4. Application. Different elements are selected for her: fragments of postcards, photographs, drawings, small figures. You can use everything that suits the style and you can stick it to the poster.
5. Stencils. The entire wall newspaper can be done in this technique, then the basis is taken on a dark background and white figures are cut out. Or, conversely, on a light background place colored ones.

All of the above techniques can be organically combined, the main thing is that in the end the details look consistent.

Complement the picture with sparkles, polystyrene balls, beads, stars, serpentine, beads, cotton wool, small snowflakes. You can use miniature toys made by yourself, but not tightly stuffed. It is best to glue such parts using thermal glue or Dragon glue.
