In this course we will explore several pieces of beloved literature such as "Tar Beach" and "Eric Carle" stories. We will then create products to bring these stories to life, utilizing a variety of art materials found in your classrooms. Your students will enjoy making the connections between art and literature.This class is geared toward elementary teachers and will be held on Tuesday, March 13, 2012 and Tuesday, March 20, 2012 from 4-7:00 PM.
