Indians in Art: Caitlin's Story

Indians in Art: Catlin's Story, from Visual Manna, uses George Catlin's 19th-century paintings of Plains Indians as inspiration for art lessons and historical facts. This volume contains his portraits in full-color alongside art lessons, including how to use eye length to create proportions, use grid boxes and shading to make a realistic portrait, the value of symmetry, and how to move from a general sketch outline to a finished illustration. A great way to supplement Westward Expansion history studies! 28 pages, softcover. Grades 3 & up.
