Looking at children's works by Elena Tynyanaya, Tatyana Goryacheva and other colleagues, I really liked the arched shape of the window. That’s when I decided that my guys should draw windows of this shape. Lena has a drawing with paints, Tanya has a vytynanka (if you can say so) from ceiling tiles. And despite the fact that winter this year does not please us not only patterns on the windows, but also with snow, we decided to draw frosty patterns on the window. Therefore, I offer to your attention master class"Frosty patterns on the window"

For work will be needed:

2 sheets of white paper,

Candle, paints,

Scissors,

Glue - pencil.

1. First we draw with a candle ourselves pattern on a white sheet and paint over it.

2. While the drawing is drying, cut out the arched window frame drawn in advance (I drew it myself, the children just cut it out).

3. Glue the frame onto the drawing (it’s more convenient to coat the drawing itself with glue, this makes it more smooth for children)

4. Cut off the extra corners.

and a window with frosty pattern ready!

And that's what we got!

Thank you for your attention. Hope you enjoyed it.

Frosty patterns on window glass are essentially the same thing as frost that forms on the ground and on tree branches. The mechanism for the formation of frost and these patterns is the same.

If the air cools, its moisture content decreases. Frosty patterns on glass and needles of frost are formed when moist air is cooled to the freezing point of water, that is, to 0°C. At this temperature, excess moisture contained in humid air condenses on cold surfaces. In this case, the water crystallizes, that is, turns into tiny ice crystals. Thus, water contained in humid air at 0°C passes from a gaseous state to a solid (crystalline) state, bypassing the liquid phase.

Why do ice crystals form such bizarre shapes? This is due to unevenness and scratches on the surface of the glass. Ice crystals form on them first. The crystals are deposited one after another, on top of each other - and amazing, unique patterns are obtained. In addition to glass unevenness, dust particles on the glass surface and air currents also participate in the “drawing” of patterns.

Among the variety of frosty patterns, the most common are tree-like structures - they are called dendrites and fibrous forms - trichites.

Dendrites are formed if the air humidity is increased, and the cooling of the glass began at a positive temperature and continued with a further decrease in temperature. In this case, a water film first forms on the glass, which, when frozen, crystallizes in the form of dendrites. Most often, this process begins at the bottom of the glass because more water accumulates there under the influence of gravity. That is why in the lower part of window glass the dendrites are usually larger, and the higher they are, the thinner and smaller the ice “branches” are. If the glass is moistened evenly during cooling, that is, covered with a more or less even film of water, then the “branches” of dendrites are approximately equal in size over the entire surface of the glass.

If there are scratches on the glass, then a second type of pattern is formed on their sharp edges - trichites. First, narrow parallel crystalline stripes are formed. With further cooling, fibers appear, extending from the main “stem”. Most often, both the “stem” and the “fibers” extending from it are not straight, but slightly curved.

Is it possible to prevent frosty patterns from appearing on window glass in winter? Can!

We have already said that an indispensable condition for the formation of frosty patterns is an increased moisture content in the air and cold glass. If any of these factors are excluded, Santa Claus will not be able to decorate window glass with his paintings.

For example, you can reduce the air humidity near the surface of the glass, then water condensation will not occur on it. To do this, you can place a glass of concentrated sulfuric acid between the window panes - it is known that it absorbs moisture from the air well.

The second way is to prevent the glass from getting too cold. This is done by carefully insulating the outer window glass where it comes into contact with the frame.

Winter has come to our lands with a light, crackling tread. She wrapped all the parks, streets, boulevards and houses in a white fluffy blanket. And now the pre-holiday frosty days, flashing one after another, tirelessly bring us closer to the most anticipated event - the New 2018 Year of the Yellow Earth Dog. Deep down, I really want everything to work out perfectly: the most important guests arrive on time, the gifts turn out to be successful, the treats are amazingly tasty, and the mood is cheerful and fabulous. It seems that during this period, even the shimmering patterns, painstakingly drawn by nature’s “frosty” brush on the window glass, should be not just marvelous, but truly magical. It’s a pity, winter doesn’t always bring joy with snowfall before New Year’s, let alone snow-white filigree on glass. Therefore, on the last weekends of the outgoing year, you should not waste your time. It’s better to create amazing drawings on the windows yourself for the New Year 2018 by preparing toothpaste, brushes and paints, stencils and templates. Using step-by-step master classes with photos and videos, you can organize a small miracle on the New Year's window in your own home, at school or in the kindergarten of your favorite fidget.

How to draw frosty patterns and fairy-tale designs on the window for the New Year 2018 of the Dog

The tradition of decorating windows for seasonal holidays dates back to ancient times. Then the Celtic peoples decorated shutters and window openings with spruce branches to drive away evil and evil spirits. Later, the Chinese continued the custom, decorating doors and glass for winter holidays with ringing objects - bells, coins, bells. And only during the reign of Peter I, the New Year’s ritual of applying thematic drawings to windows appeared on the territory of Russia.

Years passed by decades, after the period of the Soviet Union, today's modernity came, New Year's traditions changed but remained revered by every family. Our grandparents decorated the windows of their houses and schools with paper snowflakes, our mothers and fathers decorated the glass with cotton balls, and we painted them with glue or gouache paints.

Therefore, it is better to offer the younger age category a liquid soap solution and ready-made protruding templates for gluing - a more simplified, but no less interesting option for decorating windows.

How to make festive paintings on windows for New Year 2018

Students are lazy people. Therefore, decorating the windows of the auditorium and the hall for them is more of a punishment than entertainment. Perhaps the reason for this is the rush before the winter session, or maybe the desire to get a good night's sleep during the hours free from studying. But the New Year is equally long-awaited and joyful for everyone: from kids to old people. And students are no exception.

Find out how to create a relaxed atmosphere in the workplace and what to paint on glass with stained glass paints for the New Year in the office.

A selection of paint designs for office windows for the New Year holidays

Painting windows in a workplace (as opposed to a school or kindergarten) imposes certain restrictions and obligations. Thus, cartoon characters or carelessly sketched children's pictures cannot be depicted on the window opening of a serious office building. In this case, the best option would be a neat frosty pattern in white gouache or a creative greeting to visitors, written in calligraphic handwriting using stained glass paints.

If you have to paint cafeteria windows, a suitable image might be Santa Claus with a cup of warm tea or Santa's Reindeer with delicious cakes. In cases where a company offers clients promotions for the New Year, they can also be mentioned or depicted with stained glass paints in a drawing on office glass. If the enterprise does not have a specialized slope, the windows of the work or sales area can be decorated with snowflakes, small Christmas trees “through a stencil”, gift boxes, bells, etc.

Frosty drawings on windows for the New Year 2018 with toothpaste - templates and examples

Since toothpaste is very similar in its external characteristics to frost, it is quite actively used to apply frosty designs on windows on New Year's Eve. The templates and examples that you will find below are direct confirmation of this. Most often I use toothpaste to imitate frosty patterns, but it is also suitable for drawing snowy landscapes and other New Year's pictures. By the way, to make such patterns on windows you can use not only toothpaste, but also tooth powder. It should also be diluted with water in proportions of approximately 1:1. The consistency of the painting mass should be quite liquid, but with intense color. To apply frosty designs on windows for the New Year 2018 using toothpaste according to a template, you can use a brush or a foam sponge.

What to paint on glass with stained glass paints for the New Year at home, video step by step

Frosty drawings on windows for the New Year 2018 Dogs at home, at school, in kindergarten, can also be painted with stained glass paints, which are ideal for working on glass. Unlike the technique with toothpaste, brush and gouache, working with stained glass paints requires certain skills and strict adherence to instructions. In order to paint a thematic design on glass with stained glass paints for the New Year at home, you can use ready-made templates and stencils with symbols. These paints are also suitable for drawing subtle frosty patterns and small details. You can see the step-by-step process of working with stained glass paints on glass in the video tutorial below.

But now I live in a house where there can be no frosty patterns - due to modern double-glazed windows. From the point of view of the architect and builder, frosty patterns, although beautiful, indicate a serious flaw in the house, leaky windows. I agree: double-glazed windows are of course a great convenience. But... How can it be: winter without frosty patterns! Of course, you can still find them in some places, for example on buses or trolleybuses, but it’s not like at home, when you look out into the street from the comfort and warmth through this icy magical garden! I really wanted to arrange a winter fairy tale from my childhood for my daughter and I found it on the Internet a way to create artificial frost patterns, which is sometimes used to decorate store windows. A little experimentation - and we succeeded! Of course, these patterns are not so subtle and elegant, but they recreate the atmosphere wonderfully! And such patterns are not afraid of the sun. Now I feel like a sorceress.

Look what happened! And at the same time, I’ll tell you how to repeat our experience with my daughter.

How a natural frosty pattern appears on windows:

How to make an artificial frost pattern with your own hands:

Take 50 grams of magnesium sulfate (It is also magnesia or Epsom salts. This is a laxative that is sold in pharmacies.)

Dissolve magnesium sulfate in 100 ml. regular beer. (Stirring and waiting about 15 minutes)

After the foam has completely dissolved and settled, if there was any, take a sharp paint brush and apply the mixture to clean, grease-free glass - from the inside, from the side of the room. Since pattern crystals form only on a flat, mortar-painted surface, it is worth paying special attention to the edges of the patterns - drawing them subtly and naturally. When it dries, “frost patterns” appear - crystals. If you don’t like something, you can easily correct the pattern by washing it off with a window cleaner. Hand-made patterns are very easy to remove.

Be sure to make sure that children do not try the solution or touch the patterns with their hands! It's still a laxative. This method of drawing patterns is suitable for families where children are over 5 years old, or people without children. Or you need to make these patterns high up, where they are inaccessible to children.

In some sources I found that beer can be replaced with boiled water with the addition of a tablespoon of diluted gelatin. However, this method did not work for us - gelatin in any quantity coagulated in a magnesium solution and gave the desired effect - stabilization - in a very weak form. I also read about recipes for frosty patterns with sodium thiosulfate (also a medicine) or with photographic fixative. But we haven’t tried these methods yet, especially since they say the pattern comes out denser and whiter. We really liked our patterns this time. Combined with the frost outside the window, the upcoming Tatiana's day and all the delights of winter, they create a great mood!
