3 Dynamic Books to Use in the Art Room

| September 6, 2012

Do you use books in your art room? If so, I have three great new books you might want to check out for your next lesson: The Pencil, by Allan Ahlberg, Art by Patrick McDonnell and I Ain’t Gonna Paint No More! by Karen Beaumont. All three books deal with the artmaking process and are extremely engaging for kids. Check out the video to learn more and see a project idea for each one. (I feel like I’m on Reading Rainbow!)
