Have you ever read a story that you wished could last forever?  Did you ever read a story to your class that touched their hearts (and yours)?  If so, this mini-course is for you!  In “Literature through Art” we will explore several pieces of literature and will then create products to bring these stories to life, as well as adapting them to others, 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 towards elementary teachers.  Bring a smock and enthusiasm …art is for everyone!!  This class is open to teachers who have previously taken this course as we will explore new projects!
