Art students in kindergarten loved reading Windblown by Edouard Manceau together. This fun story was about the wind that blew paper pieces around that created shapes. After reading the book, students created their own designs using the same 7 shapes.

Second grade art students enjoyed reading about the author Catherine Rayner's pet goldfish. Many facts about goldfish were included in this fun book. The students created their version of a pet goldfish using the author/illustrator's style.

Everyone is created differently and each have different gifts. Students loved how author Joanna Gaines expressed appreciation for each child's talents in her book Who You Were Made to Be. Using bubbles to paint, each student made dots of bubbles for their balloons. They used the book illustrations to inspire their pen drawings to create unique balloons.

Third Grade art students enjoyed the illustrations in the book Inside Outside by Lizi Boyd. Each page held a story without words, only pictures! We talked about the art of illustration - telling our story without words. Each student created their own story using drawings similar to what they saw in the book. Look closely and see if you can discover the story these illustrators are hoping to tell you!
