What? I think it is a great idea to use a children book illustrators to entrance the learning of art. Children books are something they can relate too. When they look at a picture from Picasso some students might be a little overwhelmed, maybe not really get what is going on. With a children's book they know right off the bat the picture is telling a story. The can use those pictures to imagine they are somewhere else.
So What? When teaching about art I can use the activities we learned in class. We can explain how an illustrator did their work. We can have them write their own children's book and make the pictures for them. I can also compare and contrast from several different illustrators. I can ask them what they like better.
Now What? I think learning about illustrators is important. They can use their imagination to play out a story in their mind. It is a great outlet for creativity. I think it important for me to research about different illustrators so that I can teach my kids how they are able to complete works of art through story books.
