Capitol Building Cartoon

The Capital Building is one of the most iconic pieces of architecture in American history. It has housed the meeting chambers of the House of Representatives and the Senate for two centuries. I've fabricated a tutorial that includes graph paper to help students align all of its cute features.

Fully opened in 1800, the Capital Building also houses some art reflecting nifty moments in early on American history. The rotunda inside the building hosts many paintings and sculptures. The tiptop of the dome itself has a beautiful mural with George Washington himself looking down upon visitors.
