Bald Eagle Drawing

For a classroom-tested drawing project that relates to studies about American symbols, you can’t get much better than learning how to draw a Bald Eagle. I used this tutorial many times while teaching in the classroom, both as a coloring and a painting project. The simple steps worked for students even as young as kindergarten.

This tutorial uses lots of basic shapes, and just a few that overlap each other. The head is in front of the shoulders, and the feet in front of the branch. Young artists need practice with these concepts before they go on to other ones.

Older students could go on to add a little more shadow, like ones that are hinted at in the sample drawing. Simply pressing harder on one side with the brown crayon, or adding a touch of gray to the head, will make the bird instantly look more round. Shadows are great that way, and testing them out on simple shapes is a smart way to start.
