Easter Bunny Art Lesson Easter Bunny Drawing and Painting Art Project Activity

This Easter Bunny Directed Drawing Art Project guides students step by step through drawing a cheerful bunny holding a decorated Easter egg. Students sketch the bunny's ears, face, arms and body, add a large patterned egg and grass, outline in black marker and color with crayons.

They finish with a watered-down blue paint wash over the background, so the crayon resists the paint and the drawing stands out. The project introduces line, shape, pattern, color and texture while students practice following visual instructions and build drawing confidence. It suits elementary art classes, homeschool art and sub plans.
