Easter Art and Write Activity Easter Bunny Art Lesson with Writing Prompts Art

This Easter Art and Write activity combines an Easter drawing and painting lesson with writing activities. Students first create an Easter artwork of a decorated Easter egg with bunny ears and feet, then write about it through opinion writing, fiction storytelling, reflection writing and artist statements.

It is a spring art and writing lesson for elementary classrooms, homeschool learning, substitute teacher plans and seasonal Easter units. Because students make the artwork first, they have something personal to describe and reflect on when they write, and one lesson covers visual art, creative writing and critical thinking.
