Teaching Kids Art Through Picture Books
Literature based art ideas for you and your family
Picture books about famous artists
With Storygalorey in person classes starting up last week, I wanted to give you a sneak peak into the artists we will be getting to know this year in case you wanted to read about them at home with your kids. Most of these artists are very well known, like Van Gogh, Picasso, and Monet. But while some recognize the art, many don't know about the artist or how the art came to be. Reading picture books is a great way to enrich your kids' art education.
I have more suggestions than we have time to read at Storygalorey, so whether or not your kids are able to participate this fall, you can enjoy reading with them and see their creativity take off. I sent this booklist a few years ago. I'll add a few new additions, too...good books are always appearing!
