Re: children's books in elementary art

"Rainbow Fish" for illustrations to lead into patterned fish for Kinders.
Eric Carle for collage and textured papers. Same for Lois Ehlert. There are
several more books - I just don't have the names here with me. I use these
because they either gave me inspiration for a lesson and serve as my visual
for students, or they offer exceptional visuals. I believe younger children
are more inspired by a picture book than by a large artist's reproduction
(unless they can relate to the subject matter.)
