Fun Facts About Harriet Tubman!
The Nickname “Moses”
Harriet Tubman was often called “Moses” by the people she helped. Just like the famous figure in ancient stories, she led her people out of slavery and into a land of freedom. The artist has included leadership themes in many of these pages to reflect this powerful title.
Guided by the Stars
Before GPS or maps were common, Harriet used the night sky to find her way. She specifically looked for the North Star, which always points North towards freedom. Look for star motifs in the background of the coloring pages – they are a nod to her incredible navigation skills!
A Brave Spy
Harriet was a woman of many talents! During the Civil War, she didn’t just help people escape; she worked as a nurse, a scout, and even a spy for the Union Army. She was the first woman to lead an armed assault during the war, proving that heroes come in many forms.
Coloring Tips for Your Harriet Tubman Masterpiece
- Creating the “Lantern Glow”: Many illustrations feature Harriet holding a lantern. To make it shine, leave the center of the flame white or very light yellow. Gradually blend into darker oranges and reds as you move outward. If the scene is at night, use dark blues and purples for the background to make that warm lantern light pop off the page!
- Texturing the Clothing: Harriet is often depicted wearing heavy wool shawls and long dresses. Instead of coloring these flatly, try using small cross-hatch lines or circular shading strokes. This technique adds a “fabric” look to her outfit, making the historical attire feel worn and realistic.
- Atmospheric Forests: For scenes set in the woods, think about the mood. Is it a scary night or a hopeful dawn? Use deep greens and browns for the trees, but perhaps add a touch of light blue mist at the bottom of the page to create a sense of mystery and the quiet atmosphere of the Underground Railroad.
