NCYP 104 Illustrating Stories, Pictures and Words (Grades 3-5)
Grades 3-5: Using children's literature and picture books as rich sources of imagery and storylines, students weave their own stories individually and in collaboration with peers. Students draw upon their natural tendency to tell colorful and elaborate stories and examine the work of artists/author-illustrators such as Ezra Jack Keats, Mitsumasa Anno, Vashti Harrison, Maurice Sendak, Andrea Beaty, and Eric Carle. Large-scale drawings, booklets, varied paper surfaces/techniques, and story performances are just a few of the creative ways stories will be recorded and passed on.
