Classically Guided Sketchbook Series: Illustrated By Me!
We have printed these the same size as standard photocopier paper. You can draw within them or cut the spine and make copies for all your students! Click the image or title below and buy the book on Amazon. Elementary level books have large 16 point text and some selections in bold to help students select imagery to draw. These books have black and white text inside and blank pages to draw on. These ARE NOT coloring books, they are meant to be drawn in. Research shows that drawing taps into visual, kinesthetic, and language areas of the brain at the same time, so information is processed more deeply and establishes more connections across the brain's neural network. We have broken each story into small, manageable bits to not overwhelm young readers. |

This should be considered a "PG13 version," written with college students in mind, so not all the quotes are appropriate for small children.This is a journal, starting point for ideas, and catalyst for inspiration. You'll find humor, irony, poignancy, and encouraging quotes by artists and historic figures throughout the ages. It is a place to document your year of creativity, or randomly respond to entries visually or by written responses, store your thoughts, and musings. The "Kid Friendly" version is to the left.

STEAM/STEM Resource:
Origami, Literature, Engineering (K-3rd grade) An origami story of Pirates, Monsters, Treasure & Magic This is an Origami-story. A tale told through a folded piece of paper. Parts of the story are suggested by a growing sequence of simple folded figures. They change from one to another as the story progresses. There is no need to buy expensive Origami paper to fold along; some printer paper or newspaper will work just fine. "This story is one that I have told and embellished over the years to many children as I teach art. What started as a simple gimmick has become a fully developed story. It is magical the way one folded figure becomes another and how it captures the mind's eye. This is NOT your typical children's book filled with drawings for passive reading." This book engages with a story and simple diagram page to fold along with the tale. The book concludes with follow-up lesson plans for teachers and parents for hours of additional fun and discovery! This book must be paired with one more to honor this sale price due to shipping costs. |

Art & Literacy Workbook: Literacy is a critical skill for students. Many schools and districts have implemented initiatives to incorporate literacy skills across the curriculum for the benefit of their students. Often, testing performance is tied to school funding. When budgets are cut, art is usually the first program to be removed. However, art is also one of the few classes that students are excited to attend, and we can leverage that interest to motivate students to write about their work, sharing their creative visions. Reading, reflecting, writing, critiquing, and editing can seamlessly be incorporated into art classes. The author's students outperform peers regularly on written assessments because they do these exercises regularly in art. When the administration sees this, his program's future is secure, and funding increases.

The Classically Inspired Sketchbook:
(Grades 4 and up) This book allows the purchaser to make copies for their students or personal use. This book was created as a collaboration between an art teacher who is an author, and an English teacher who loves art. Illustration and verse have long been great partners; one cannot survive without the other. We present these classical poems to be explored and illustrated, giving them new life. From Shakespeare to Louis Carroll and many in-between, no one should go through life without being exposed to these timeless works of poetry. Though this book was written with art teachers in mind, it will be a valuable resource for English, literature, and history teachers as well. A short blurb about each author appears on the back of each page with space to write an interpretation of the poetry. This combination of art, history, literature, writing, interpretation, and illustration becomes a powerful educational tool attaining the highest levels |
The Inspirational Sketchbook:
(Grades 4 and up) This book allows the purchaser to make copies for their students or personal use. Art mixes with literature as we create illustrations for famous quotes on art by some of the most names throughout history like Einstein, Picasso, O'Keeffe, and Queen Victoria to name but a few. Read, interpret, and learn; a deeply interdisciplinary approach and supplement to an art education program or for personal growth. A short blurb about the author of each quote appears on the back of each page with space to write an interpretation on what the author meant. There is also space for readers and students to explore more about the author of each quote. This combination of art, history, literature, writing, interpretation, and illustration becomes a powerful educational tool attaining the highest levels of learning on Bloom’s Taxonomy; analyze, evaluate, and create. |
