The Inspirational Sketchbook - 100 Art Quotes to Illustrate & Educate

Grades 4-12.

By Eric Gibbons and Dongkui Lin. Art mixes with literature as students create illustrations for famous quotes on art by some of the most important names through history like Einstein, Picasso, O’Keeffe, and more. A quote on art appears on one page with space enough to create an illustration. The back of each page contains a short blurb about the author of the quote, as well as space for students to write down five more interesting facts about the author. Students also are asked to write what the quote means to them. This combination of art, history, literature, writing, interpretation, and illustration is a powerful interdisciplinary approach to art education and attains the highest level of learning on Bloom’s Taxonomy: analyze, evaluate, and create. 206 pages.
