Starting with the square for the head, draw a large circle so that it
touches the sides of the paper. For the body, draw a large oval shape
on the rectangle, and repeat this step with the two smaller rectangles
to make the feet. On the remaining rectangles, make a mark in the
center at the top of each. From this mark, draw the ears, ending in the
corner on either side.
After you've finished drawing, you're ready to make the shapes that
you'll use to create the bunny. Sometimes artists tear paper instead of
cutting it, because they like the ragged edge that results. Rather than
cutting the shapes, try tearing them to get a softer look.
Before you start, practice on a scrap of paper. Draw another circle on
a square so that the circle touches all four sides of the paper. Now
hold the paper in one hand, and with your favored hand, tear the paper
by pulling it toward you. Try to stay on or near the line you drew, but
don't be concerned if the shape you make is not perfect. Part of the
charm of making the bunny this way is the ragged, fluffy edge that
results.
After practicing, tear out all the shapes. When you're finished, gently
erase any pencil marks that show. If you're unhappy with the size or
shape of any part, just redraw it and try again. Now you're ready to
assemble the bunny. Choose a wallpaper sample that has bright, spring
like colors for your background. Glue the body near the center of the
paper. Attach the ears behind the head, and glue this shape to the
body. Finally, glue the feet in place, and add the cotton for its tail.
Now it's up to you to make your bunny special. You can make it a
different color or add spots here and there with crayons. Draw the
rabbit's hindquarters and face. Don't forget the whiskers! Add
interest to your picture by cutting blades of grass from scraps of
construction paper. Cut Easter eggs from scraps of wallpaper or
construction paper, and "hide" them in the grass. Glue everything in
place and have a Happy Easter!
