Great Read Alouds for Art

Some great favorite books to read aloud during art time:

Beautiful Oops: how there's no such thing as making a mistake in art
Emma's Rug by Allen Say: a beautiful story about creativity
Ish by Peter Reynolds
The Art Lesson by Tomie de Paolo
Art by Patrick McDonnell
The Dot by Peter Reynolds
No One Saw by Bob Raczka

I am recently obsessed with the new 13 Series by Prestel publishing (13 American Artists Children Should Know, 13 Women Artists Children Should Know, etc...)

This publishing company (a division of Random House) also does some wonderful coloring books based on artists.

I just bought the Miro one and am hoping to incorporate in a lesson on shape and line.
