Hey art friends! America is turning 250 years old, and we’re celebrating the best way we know how, by drawing! We pulled together seven of our favorite patriotic lessons into one big hour-long celebration video. The idea is simple: press play, grab your markers, and draw along with us from the very first flag to the last founding father, no clicking around YouTube to find what to draw next.
Art Supplies:
Markers
Paper
Colored pencils or crayons
What’s inside this compilation:
The American Flag
A Cute Cartoon Bald Eagle
The Statue of Liberty
The Liberty Bell
The Constitution
George Washington
Abraham Lincoln
Each lesson breaks a famous American symbol down into easy steps young artists can follow, so kids learn a little piece of history while they create their own red, white, and blue artwork. Draw alongside your kids and make it a fun family activity, or let them follow along at their own pace. Either way, this is a great one to come back to every Fourth of July!
