Art History Is Fun! Let's Read About It!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Short's classroom raised $433
This project is fully funded
My Project
ART! In my classroom, we take adventures around the world and journey back in time. My students learn about art from photographs, videos, games, and of course creating art of their own! My students learn how art, music, social studies, math, science, and language arts all interconnect and help us to understand our exciting world.
I would like to add many new books to our classroom library that the children love and that will help them grow in their knowledge base about famous artists. Reading can inspire us, and we love to read books in art class that inspire us. Our class library needs to be expanded to include stories about artists from diverse backgrounds as well.
