Reading response incorporates comprehension AND writing — a double whammy in the Art Classroom!
I love the opportunity to include art history in my teaching - utilizing a marvelous, easy to read series written and illustrated by author Mike Venezia, Getting to Know the World's Famous Artists.Alimacani Elementary 4th & 5th Grade students enjoyed this delightful mix of full-color historical reproductions, photos and illustrations that bring to life the works of renown artists.
Each student selected an artist and after reading the book, completed a written response based on what they learned. I was so thrilled with their positive comments and many asked if we could do it again so they could learn about another artist.
