ArtK12 Draw Your American Heritage – Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier begins with serious, yet lively text providing
background context for the art lesson to follow. Short paragraphs appeal to a
range of reading abilities, and all users enjoy the old photos and graphics. As
you begin the drawing lesson, you are asked to fold a piece of printer paper
into 12 sections. The book then walks you through adding parts of the drawing
into each box. It’s an approach that most students will be comfortable with
using on their own. I enjoyed the commentary as you progress! Funny little
tidbits and interesting trivia move the book along.
The format makes this a natural to add to your unit study of
American history, American monuments, patriotic landmarks, etc. You could also
add this to your art lessons as an example of the grid method.
The book is not consumable. Free templates are available on
the publisher’s website to get you started if you are hesitant to dive right
in. ~Sara
