Happy Tuesday! This is the first installment of book suggestions for children. A Facebook follower of mine asked me for book suggestions about artwork that she could share with her children. I thought it was an excellent idea to share with everyone and am planning to create a post each week filled with book ideas about a particular art subject.These are a few books that I like that take a closer look at actual works of art.
You can probably check out most of these books from your local library. Otherwise, I purchase most of my books online at Amazon.

Wonderful! I've been meaning to do this too...especially art lessons from blogs based on picture books. Thanks for getting the ball rolling...
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I saw this post!
ReplyDeleteI've actually been going a bit crazy with trying to find books for my two little ones and my art group that introduce art.
Have you seen
Claire D'Harcourt's Up Close books? Those are great
and also
Julie Merberg's Mini Masters board books.
I look forward to seeing your weekly posts on this!
Check out my just art group blog, we're just getting started :)

Thank you so much Erin!!! You will help us all working with children on our choise of books and eventually get inspired. I lately got to know you and I am really happy for that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the suggestions. I'm looking forward to your weekly posts too. My daughter goes to a great school...but there's no art program there, just what her regular classroom teacher does.
ReplyDeleteI have two new favorites...since I got an email from our PTO that sent me frantically to Borders to use up gift cards.
