As we all know, one of the best way for students to master any content is to activiate their schema using various strategies. As emphasized through the "thinking strategies" kids have tiny file folders in their brains which can be opened to connect new information. Without the schema(experience), it is very difficult for them to understand new content. As we all know, books are a great way for kids to make connections and create experiences (schema).
Here are a few books I would reccomend to help students become art literate and help them make real life connections to art content.
