From a squad car and fire truck to a supersonic airliner and stealth ship, All About Drawing Cool Cars, Fast Planes & Military Machines is filled with all things fueled for action. Kids will spend hours completing the easy-to-follow step-by-step drawing projects in this 80-page lesson-packed book. Each drawing project begins with simple shapes and then slowly develops into a true-to-life picture of an aircraft, watercraft, or land vehicle. Not only will children learn how to draw the awe-inspiring vehicles and machines that help our armed forces and hometown heroes accomplish their missions, but they will learn fun and interesting facts and see action-packed photos as they work their way through the pages of this beautifully illustrated book.
Organized by artist, the book underscores one of the Whitney's unique characteristics -- its philosophy of collecting in depth, across the boundaries of artistic mediums. Although each artist is represented by at least one illustration, many are represented by works in several different mediums. Brief texts by the Whitney's curatorial staff as well as by outside experts in 20th-century American art set each artist's work within a larger art historical framework.
An introduction by Maxwell L. Anderson, Director of the Whitney, discusses the history of the museum. This elegant book will be required reading for anyone interested in American art.
