How do you draw john Lennon?
Asked by Wiki User
To draw the king John Lennon you have to look at a photo of his (well, that's what I do, it's easier) and start w/ the head than draw the hair line. Next, draw his facial features such as his nose, eyes, mouth and stuff to be more specific. Next draw his body first his neck then outfit. If you want to draw him in the time period of 1960-1965 (when he looked clean, The I wanna hold your hand era) draw a suit black w/ a black tie maybe draw a guitar strap that's lighter (brown for example).
Next, if you want color it.
If you aren't the best drawer (like Me) try your best, I drew him earlier today it wasn't great. I also drew Paul and Ringo.
I hope this helped it's what I did- so it should work!

How did john Lennon make an impact on the world?
Asked by Wiki User
Well, obviously, his impact in the music industry is legendary and his legacy in this world will continue on forever. But as far as what impact he on America, besides musically through his huge contributions to the Beatle's work, we should think about what impact he wasn't able to make because of his death. Who knows what the world would be like today had he continued on through his political and peace activism. He had some major plans for world peace, trying to accomplish it through music. He wasn't able to fufil his plans because he was taken from us. His impact on America may be simply on the aspect of music, but he did, at one point, have the Nixon Administration considering him a threat, that's pretty big, and just gos to show that the possibilities are endless when thinking about what impact he could have made.

Asked by Wiki User
Lennon was the rhythm guitarist, although he occasionally played keyboards, bass and lead guitar on some tracks.
In the early days of the band, he was seen as the leader; Paul McCartney has acknowledged Lennon as "the guy you wanted to sit next to on the bus". Lennon was also the main songwriter in the band until around 1965; he wrote 11 out of the 14 songs on A Hard Day's Night.
Later his role diminished a little; during the studio years, McCartney's musical skill brought him more to the fore in the band.

Asked by Wiki User
To give the peace movement a fresh anthem. The song was credited to Lennon/McCartney, but Paul McCartney had nothing to do with writing the song; Lennon shared the credit because of the handshake deal they had made when they started collaborating. He said later "it should have been Lennon/Ono".
Guest performers on "Give Peace A Chance" (recorded live in their Montreal hotel suite) were comedian Tommy Smothers, Beatles publicist Derek Taylor, intellectual Timothy Leary and his wife Rosemary, author Norman Mailer, and the Montreal chapter of the Hare Krishnas. All were collectively credited as the "Plastic Ono Band".
