Easy Draw the White House Tutorial and White House Coloring Page

Here's an easy way to draw the White House, in all its symmetrical beauty. A grid template really helps students of all ages make their best drawing.

White House Drawing

I've found that there's nothing like some grid paper to help students draw buildings, especially one with so many windows, so I've included one in my download. It also adds some math to this drawing lesson as lines need to be counted to make their building as symmetrical as possible.

Materials for a White House 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.
