Let’s learn how to draw the Australian flag together! Get your pencil, paper, and coloring tools ready, and let’s have some fun!
Start by drawing a border around your paper. This will help you keep the flag the right size. Use a ruler to make straight lines. Press lightly with your pencil if you want to erase later.
Now, split your flag into parts. Draw a light line down the middle of the paper from top to bottom. Then, turn your paper and draw another line from side to side. This will make a rectangle in the top left corner for the Union Jack.
In the top left corner, draw the Union Jack:
Draw diagonal lines to make an “X” shape inside the cross. Make these lines dark so they stand out.
Below the cross, draw the Commonwealth Star, which has seven points:
On the right side of the flag, draw the Southern Cross constellation with four stars:
Erase any leftover lines inside the stars to make your drawing neat.
Time to color! Use red and blue markers:
Look at your flag and make any changes to the colors or lines if needed.
Great job! You’ve drawn and colored the Australian flag. We hope you had fun and learned something new about Australia. Remember, take your time and enjoy making your art!
Flag Hunt: Go on a flag hunt around your neighborhood or at home! Look for flags and try to identify them. Can you find the Australian flag? Take a picture or draw a quick sketch of the flags you see. Discuss with your family or friends what makes each flag unique.
Starry Night: Create your own constellation! Use a piece of black paper and some white chalk or stickers to design a constellation. Think about what shapes or patterns you want to make. Share your constellation with the class and give it a name. How does it compare to the Southern Cross on the Australian flag?
Color Mix-Up: Experiment with colors! Use your coloring materials to mix different colors and see what new colors you can create. Try to make the exact shade of blue and red used in the Australian flag. What happens when you mix blue and red together? Can you make a new color for a flag of your own design?
