This ingenious book brings together art instructions and fun facts. Young readers will love learning about animals, transport, costumes, sports and more as they grow in artistic confidence. The simple, step-by-step instructions in this book have been carefully designed to make drawing easy, accessible, and undaunting. Each project features up to nine steps, with each step introducing a minimal amount of new information and the new strokes being presented in a different colour, for maximum clarity. Each double-page spread also introduces intriguing ideas about the animals that readers are drawing. As they sketch a tiger's stripes, they can learn why tigers need stripes. While they are drawing a ship's sails, they can think about how sailors angle them to change the ship's direction. >This book really puts the "art" into "smart!" Ideal for children aged 7+.
