Learn More About The Rosa Parks Drawing
Rosa Parks is a famous figure in American history. You can learn how to draw Rosa Parks with the help of this easy, step-by-step portrait drawing tutorial.
What is Rosa Parks known for? In 1955, she refused to give up her seat on a bus when she was unfairly asked to do so.
At that time in history, seating on buses separated people based on the color of their skin, and Rosa Parks knew that wasn't right.
This portrait is similar to a photo of Parks taken on a bus in 1956. It is realistic in style and shows her face in a 3/4 perspective.
The Encyclopedia Britannica calls Parks "the spark that ignited the civil rights movement in the United States."
