1-2-3 Draw Cars, Trucks and Other Vehicles
Grade 1-3-Using combinations of simple geometric shapes, children  can draw an unusual array of wheeled vehicles, including cars,  trucks, public-service vehicles, and construction machinery. The  book begins with an explanation and examples of shapes and  methods of drawing circles, including using a compass. The steps  are numbered, and each one adds details to the vehicle. Each  step is also accompanied by a few explanatory sentences. The  last one shows the addition of color to complete the drawing.  Because of the preference for geometric shapes, the vehicles  have a somewhat chunky or squared-off look, but because of their  simple components, drawing them will be less intimidating than  drawing the sleeker vehicles presented in Lee J. Ames's Draw  Fifty Cars, Trucks, and Motorcycles (Doubleday, 1986).Lynda  Ritterman, Atco Elementary School, Waterford, NJCopyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
