Easter Art Project Mixed Media Easter Egg Art Lesson Easter Bunny Art Activities

In this Mixed Media Easter Egg Art Lesson, students create a vibrant Easter egg with bunny ears and feet. They start by blending paint directly on the paper for a soft background, then design and decorate the egg with oil pastels and paint, using expressive lines, shapes and patterns.

It is made for elementary art classrooms, homeschool art, spring units, sub plans and seasonal displays. Students explore the elements of art, including line, shape, color, texture and pattern, and see how artists combine materials in one artwork.
