Wonderful Blending of Fundamental Drawing Techniques with History

This book does a wonderful job of combining some fundamental drawing principals (using pencil/charcoal/chalk, hatching, cross-hatching, stipple, etc.) with some of the basic historical information regarding this ill-fated ship. Specifically tailored for 9 - 12 year old children, it includes snippets of information interspersed throughout the items presented for drawing. Even including the fact that Marconi survived the disaster. Great way to interest children in drawing and history! Also includes a glossary for easy review.

Shows you how to draw and gives excellent Titanic facts.

This book shows children 9yrs and up how to draw the Titanic, along with other Titanic related things like people, cars, crew men, etc. It tells them what supplies they will need and takes them step by step of how to draw. I appreciate the interesting facts they weave into the book about the Titanic. For instance after showing how to draw a 20's style automobile, it has an interesting fact about a car that sunk with the ship. There is also a glossary of terms in the back. We used these as our vocabulary words for a unit study on the Titanic. The book is reasonably priced and you only need to purchase the sketch book and special pencil and eraser if you desire to, you can use everyday paper and pencil. We are happy to add this book among our favorites in our Titanic library.
