Product Description

Beginning drawing and writing lessons for children ages five to ten. BOOK 3 focuses on Native Americans, North America and the Pilgrims. The books are simple enough for a young child to do independently, but a teacher or parent may present the lessons. Each drawing lesson includes a colorful picture and step-by-step instructions, while the writing lesson includes four simple handwritten sentences. The teacher or parent may introduce letter formation or have the children copy the sentences for handwriting practice, or use the lessons as a springboard for creative writing or report writing. Developed by an elementary school teacher and co-authored by her daughter. A brief list of the 21 lessons in the book includes longhouse, cradleboard, bison, pueblo, sunflower, eagle, windmill, and Plymouth house.

From the Publisher

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple drawing lessons and great handwring practice!, January 18, 2000

By A Customer

My children love these books. The art lessons are very simple. I wish I could send you a copy the horse my 6 year old son drew. I've never drawn a horse so well! This from my son who cries " I don't know how to draw, mom!" You won't be sorry you bought this book. The format is very clear and simple and It shows how good penmanship is an art form. Pages are not cluttered. Extra Ideas spark a young artists creativity. These books are great for reference "Now how did I draw that boat?" Worth every dime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Choice for Art, February 11, 2009

By	M. Chastain (Indiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My 6 and 8 year-olds really enjoy this book. We are studying American History and use this to illustrate some of what they learn. The book represents a few of the different Native American tribes, the regions of the U.S. and the Pilgrims. It is simple enough that they can copy the illustrations on their own, but parents can point out finer details to encourage artistic learning.
