All the Books You Need for Your Art Room

books on a shelf

Many art teachers not only self-identify as creative and passionate but also part book-worm. It is no wonder, really. We love to learn, to create, and to share ideas. That’s what books and art educators are all about. Books are just one more tool in our tool-box of not only teaching but also our own self-reflection and learning. Sometimes, though, we can get caught in a rut of going back to the same book or the same story to share with our students. Well, here at the AOEU Magazine, we are dedicated to giving you more ideas and this time, books to use for yourself, your classroom, and to share with your students.
