More about the Statue of Liberty
Lots of students learning about American symbols in their classroom studies, so learning how to draw the Statue of Liberty can be the perfect complementary art project. Not only will they get some good body drawing practice in, they will be more likely to remember her details, like how many spikes are on her crown. Or what she is holding in her hand.
I’ve experimented with different levels of complexity for learning how to draw Lady Liberty, and this one is now my favorite. And if students fold their paper to get guide lines like mine, they will get some help in knowing just where to start with her head, and so on. The tutorial proceeds with drawing just a basic robed body shape, and then adding her arms and finally a draped section of her robe.
The Statue of Liberty is one of the most famous structures in the United States. Years ago, when immigrants passed through the halls of Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty was the first thing they saw. Learning how to draw her can add a great appreciation for what she has come to symbolize.
