My Project

Art is the avenue for creativity for so many students. Imagine the excitement when you are learning about an artist, the style or methodology of art and you can see it in a book, Let's add to that the opportunity to sit back, relax, hold a book that enhances the vision you have been introduced to in class. You can travel into that book learning about the artist or see the art in action.

You will be providing the tools to get lost in an art book for over 500 budding artists.

While my art room has the creative tools for students, we lack the reading resources to enhance their learning. We know reading is essential and having a variety of books, at different reading levels, that enhance the art curriculum will prove to develop reading skills and art skills simultaneously.
