Draw Grassland Animals (Learn to Draw)
Gr 4-7--A welcome title to fill the ongoing demand for books on art instruction. DuBosque includes step-by-step directions for drawing 31 animals from grassland areas around the world. Some of the animals are familiar--elephants, buffaloes, giraffes--and some are unusual--the olive baboon, the giant anteater. The author/artist uses the technique of beginning with ovals representing the head, abdomens, hip joints, etc. These ovals are connected by lines to form the characteristic shape. A clock face at the beginning of each drawing helps students tilt and position the ovals effectively. This book is a useful addition to the series and to other standard titles of drawing instruction by Lee J.
