Reading from their books and sharing pictures from the infant childrens' books, at the start of an art lesson, helped stimulate and focus childrens' interest and I believe enhanced their creativity and imagination.

Yes, perhaps both curricular areas help support one another, but the children have certainly been very enthusiastic to create artwork linked to their class book. More pictures soon!

I'm sure making the art added a great extra dimension to your enjoyment of the stories. Some lovely ideas to try with my class when we read some of those books. I'm going to share this with some other teachers that I know will love it too. What beautiful art work. I’m sure making the art added a great extra dimension to your enjoyment of the stories.

I really like the idea of linking art to books. In the past I've used this template: http://www.naturegrid.org.uk/infant/earlyict/elmer.html To make some Elmer art in my classes. You might like to try it too. Some lovely art work, I especially like the cave art. I really like the idea of linking art to books. In the past I’ve used this template:

Thanks for sharing this beautiful artwork. What a great idea to link art to literacy, too. I love the pictures of the Primary 6's enjoying making their creations. I wonder if it was more enjoyable creating the artwork because you were so familiar with the stories ..... or maybe creating the artwork, led to the book being more enjoyable ..... or both? I'm really looking forward to seeing more pictures. Gosh – I’m really impressed Mrs W and all the pupils at Carronshore! Thanks for sharing this beautiful artwork.
