Turkish Soldier

Hi everyone, my name is Isabella! Today, we're going to look at a really cool drawing of a soldier. Can you say soldier? nn --- nn This soldier is from Turkey. Have you ever seen a soldier before? What do they wear? nn --- nn This soldier is wearing a really long shirt called a tunic. It goes all the way down to his feet! He's also wearing a special hat on his head. nn --- nn The artist used black chalk to draw this picture on paper. See how the artist used light and dark lines to make the soldier look real? That's called shading! nn --- nn The soldier looks very strong and brave, doesn't he? I wonder what he's thinking about. What do you think? nn --- nn This drawing was made a long, long time ago in 1916. That's when your great-great-grandparents might have been alive! Back then, there was a big war happening in the world. nn --- nn This drawing helps us remember the soldiers who fought in the war. It's important to remember history so we can learn from the past. nn --- nn I hope you enjoyed learning about this special drawing today! It's amazing how art can teach us about different people and times. Now, let's go look at some other interesting things in the museum!
