Drawing knights and castles

Drawing knights and castles

Jorge Santillan

Book - 2014

Even though knights who fought battles and defended castles lived long ago, they're still a symbol of honor today. Incredible, true facts about the lives of knights and the castles they lived in and defended accompany step-by-step instructions that guide readers through drawing these brave defenders, including their armor and weapons. Readers will learn basic artistic concepts while drawing different kinds of castles, too. Sketches of each step will help readers continue with their drawing while they engage with a cool historical topic.

Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 2-5-These titles provide precise, detailed, and clear instructions for drawing high-interest subjects. Each book includes six projects, and all of them can be completed in seven steps, beginning with a basic outline and ending with a colored final presentation. Information about the subject of each drawing is presented in a paragraph before and after each activity. For example, the instructions for how to draw a knight with a coat of arms are followed by facts about the code of chivalry. The colorful illustrations are large and vivid. Drawing books are perennially popular, and these should prove no exception. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
