These examples will give you creative ways to include studio projects along with reading aloud beautifully illustrated books. Many of the Art Tales lessons include kindergarten readiness objectives such as cutting, using a glue stick, reviewing letters and numbers and more. Art 2 Go aligns with 2nd grade TEKS objectives as well as building vocabulary and visual literacy skills. Creating original artwork inspired by other artists’ techniques is our goal: we are never trying to copy or duplicate artwork. Your finished products are one of a kind and unique to each of you!
