WDE 15th May: Fort Sumter

[123harry]

Being a Brit I didn't realise that Fort Sumter was the site of the beginning of the American Civil War, makes you think....so I've produced something that might be a sketch for an illustration (Pencils, graphite, approx one and a quarter hours).

Fort Sumter, April 12th 1861

Very Cool. I will forward this to my Dad, who is a civil war historian. You really brought this little piece of history to life.

Great sketch + American History Lesson= Great WDE project. Only way to beat a good art project is to learn something new while you're doing it! Great job!
