How To Draw A Bell

Easy How to Draw Christmas Bells Tutorial and Christmas Bells Coloring Pag

Learn how to draw Christmas Bells, then arrange them with some ivy and a bright red bow for a very pretty holiday picture.

Bells and Christmas have a long standing history together. From church bells that ring at midnight on Christmas Eve to the sound of sleigh bells in the snow, the sounds of bells and Christmas are a cherished memory for many. In many parts of the country today, the ringing of bells can still be heard every Sunday, and throughout the rest of the year for various religious celebrations – one of the most popular of course, being Christmas.

This tutorial will show students how to draw a pair of Christmas bells, and then color them to add some dimension. Shades of yellow do the job particularly well (even if just using crayons) as they can add a natural looking shine.

To add some art fundamentals to the lesson, this drawing is also a good example of BALANCE, one of the Principles of Design. While not being completely symmetrical, all the shapes on one side are also on the other, creating a very visually balanced work of art.

Materials for a Christmas Bells Drawing

Pencil. The Ticonderoga brand are the most reliable, make nice dark lines when you need them, and are the easiest to erase. Buying the pre-sharpened ones will save busy teachers a lot of time.

Eraser. Large ones you can hold in your hand do a much better job than just the pencil tip erasers, especially when erasing leftover pencil lines after tracing.

Black Sharpie Marker. These fine point permanent marker pens make nice black outlines, have a good tip for coloring, and never bleed when they get wet. Use them with good ventilation and add extra paper underneath to protect your tables.

Prang Crayons. These are a bit softer than other crayons so they sometimes look like oil pastels. They also have a some nice brown shades that Crayola does not have unless you buy their larger boxes.

Crayola Crayons. The reliable brand that always works well. The 24 pack has some of my favorite golden orange and yellow colors that seem a bit richer and warmer than the ones Prang has.
