This book uses Caldecott Award winning books as a resource for classroom teachers to provide students with experiences that combine art with children's literature. The book contains three lessons for each of the 57 Caldecott books from 1938-1994. Lessons examine the key art concepts contained in the illustrations of the Caldecott books. These lessons are organized around a variety of media used in artmaking. These include: (1) "Pencil"; (2) "Crayon"; (3) "Marker"; (4) "Colored Pencil"; (5) "Chalk"; (6) "Stencils"; (7) "Collage"; (8) "Watercolor"; (9) "Tempera"; (10) "Color Mixing"; and (11) "Printmaking." Lessons focus on basic art principles and art elements, such as line, color, texture, shape, space, and value. The step-by-step instructions, complete materials lists, and detailed illustrations are designed for teachers with little or no art training. They can be adapted to suite grades K-6. An appendix lists Caldecott Award winners from 1938-1994. (MM)
