George Washington Art Project

My class has been learning about American symbols and presidents. I wanted an art project for my students to do, so I decided on this one. It was perfect for our discussion about presidents and George Washington. I loved seeing how unique my students made their projects. 

My class really enjoyed making their pictures. They took the project very seriously. Some students went to the book rack to get a George Washington book as they did their work so that they could make their picture just right.

I originally found several versions of this project on Pinterest, but I still needed a template for it. I ended up creating a pretty simple one. I have made it available as a freebie at my TpT Store if you are interested in it. I also included a couple of writing pages with it.

After we did the art project, I had my students write about their favorite president. We are working on opinion writing, so this worked best, but I normally have my students write about what they would do if they were president. I thought you might like to have the choice, so I included both in the freebie packet.




This project worked well for my first graders. It would also be great for preschool and kindergarten. I hope that you enjoy this project!
