For a wide array of Black History Month drawing ideas, targeting elementary age school children, please check out my collection below. I am happy to share what I have learned from years of collecting my favorite black history art projects. Most of them require just some simple drawing materials.
As a former classroom art teacher, I spent years watching students go through the process of learning how to draw. It became clear that many were often unsure about how to start or how to continue. Especially when they felt stuck. Direct draw instructions on the front board did work for a little while, but had limitations. Some students always wanted to go faster, and some slower. It kept the whole process feeling a bit chaotic.
The biggest benefit to using printed tutorials was that everyone could finally work independently. Nine simple illustrated steps allowed them all to work at their own pace. I found them to be a great way to help students build their confidence, and take some of the mystery out of drawing. Check out the collection below of Black History Month art projects – you just might find the perfect one today!
