St Patricks Art Project Leprechaun Art Lesson St Patricks Reading and Writing

This St. Patrick's Day Leprechaun Art Lesson is a festive March directed drawing project for elementary classrooms, homeschool art and seasonal art centers. Students follow a step-by-step leprechaun drawing tutorial to create their own colorful leprechaun while learning about shape, character design and creative expression.

With guided drawing steps, practice pages, reflection activities and assessment tools, you can lead a complete art lesson from introduction to finished artwork. Students learn to break a character into shapes and build the drawing step by step, and the finished leprechauns make a cheerful St. Patrick's Day bulletin board.
