My students need a classroom library with a wide variety of books such as "500 Bowls: Contemporary Explorations of a Timeless Design" and "How to Draw People" in our art room.
I teach art to middle school students in an inner city school district. When I first started working in this district, the classroom that I was given had many safety hazards, such as, 30 year old tables, art projects on the floor from years past; even no rulers. With the help of my principal I was able to get the classroom new tables, and bring the room back to a safe working environment. Now this year my goal, among many things, is to get a classroom library going for the children. It would serve as a great resource for them to investigate some of the worlds great artists, and help encourage them to be in charge of their own art making.
My students finish their art work at different times during a lesson. They are always asking me if they could read an art book instead of "free draw" I think reading would be much more beneficial for them during this time.
I need books to get a library started. I want books that have to do with art, but offer the children a way to understand the importance of reading across the curriculum.
With your help, my students and I can begin to intergrate art across other disciplines, such as language arts.
