The Sphinx

Throughout this term Year 5&6 extension has been learning all about archaeology. We had to find an archaeological site like The Great Pyramids Of Giza, Pompeii and many others. I chose to draw The Sphinx. I found doing the head challenging but I persevered and made it to the end. The easiest part was the background. The background was easy because I just used lines and the paint bucket. I hope you like this drawing.
