Many books available for teaching art
When I taught middle school I had several story books that I used for lessons. One of my favorites is Things that are most in the world written by Judi Barrett, illustrated by John Nickle. This book is filled with “things that are most in the world”. And example is The wiggliest thing in the worls is a snake ice-skating. I am certain you can imagine that without seeing the fabulous illustration in the book. I based a lesson on this book where I asked students to come up with their own something that is “mostest” in the world. Students’ ideas were varied and great!
This week I learned about this blog post on an elementary art teachers blog called Mrs. Picasso’s Artroom. The blogger said it is the most visited post on her blog and I know why. It is filled with many book examples, all examples of ones she uses in her classroom. The post is called MUST HAVE Story Books For The Elementary Art Room. It includes some of my favorites like Uncle Andy about Andy Warhol and Linnea in Monet’s Garden and a ton of others. If you teach art and you use books with lessons you will DEFINITELY want to check out this blog post.
