Creative and Inclusive Books for the Art Room

Help me give my students access to amazing read-aloud books that will support our creativity in the art room!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bissell's classroom raised $285

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project includes many books that will support us as we use our creativity this year and in years to come! In the art room, we love to read a story to get our inspiration flowing as we begin to discover what our next project is.

These books are intentionally chosen as they offer creative thinking prompts, are inclusive of different backgrounds and cultures, and review art history.

A few of these books are written by artists and offer creative prompts and activities that we will use as we get our creative juices flowing!
