Drawing of a Rubber Duck

Learning how to draw a rubber duck is a fun way for young artists to practice drawing with simple shapes and curved lines. And if you grew up hearing Ernie sing “Rubber Duckie” on Sesame Street, you might find yourself humming along while you draw!

From Bathtub Toy to Floating Sculpture

Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman took that familiar yellow bath toy and turned it into a giant floating sculpture. His rubber ducks have popped up in harbors around the world, from Hong Kong to Sydney. I love how a toy you could hold in one hand can look so different when it’s big enough to tower over a boat.

Turn Your Rubber Duck Drawing Into a Lesson on Proportion

Show students a photo of one of Hofman’s ducks and ask, “How can you tell how big it is?” Have them look at the boats, buildings, or people nearby. Comparing the sizes of things in the same picture gives students a way to see proportion, one of the principles of design.

Then have students draw their own rubber duck and add clues to show how big it is. A bar of soap beside it might make it look right at home in a bathtub. A sailboat that barely reaches its belly tells a whole different story!
