We are pleased to announce our new Third Grade Art Book is now available for purchase in our bookstore. The paintings in this 102 page text are accompanied by questions to help the child observe and appreciate art. The goal in this book is to help the student memorize the titles of paintings and be able to identify the artists who painted them. The activities are tailored to these memorization goals. The text can be used for many years.
