The objective of the Art of Reading program is to inspire creative inquiry by developing visual literacy skills and hands-on experience with a variety of art media.  Utilizing picture books as an art form, children will look, listen and discover how the illustrator/artist has told a story with pictures.  By focusing on the art in the picture books, children are offered a familiar experience with a fresh perspective.  Children are encouraged to be interactive in the learning by looking at the pictures and telling the story along with the teacher.

This art production based class uses picture books and the art found within the pages as a springboard for the creative endeavor.  The children will be given the opportunity to explore and experiment with a variety of media (art materials) and ideas the illustrator used to create their art.  The child will be supported throughout the creative process and encouraged to develop their individual creative style for making art.

Projects for the Spring session will include drawing, screen printing, paper engineering and more.
