Hi everyone,
It is the beginning of May and the sheer beauty of spring
always makes me wish I were an artist.
While I'm not an artist, I can recommend some incredible books for you
to use to bring out the artist inside each of your students.
I stumbled upon my first recommendation. I was reading all of Jen Bryant's books and
found one I hadn't read: Pieces of Georgia. After
reading it, I immediately called the
principal of the middle school where I work as a consultant and recommended she
tell the art teacher about this book as I knew it would make a great shared
reading in her art class. The main
character's life is in turmoil and art-specifically Georgia O'Keeffe's art-saves
her. There are many beautiful passages
to support looking closely at art, imagining the artist, and making connections
to our individual lives.
