My students also adopt nationally and internationally known artists. The students and adopted artists communicate with one another and share samples of their artwork. The students do projects, which incorporate their artists' style or subject matter. These projects are also integrated into the curriculum of the classroom teacher. Too This project is integration at its best.
Students write original stories in class.
These stories are edited, corrected, and rewritten. Then they are taken to the art class where the class divides into groups. Each group illustrates one book using markers. When completed, these pages are sent to a company where they are bound in a hard cover. The original books are donated to the library's collection for everyone to read.
