Activity Summary:

The pond in this picture of a lush garden is a quiet home to many types of living things, including the waterlilies that float in clusters on its surface. So many plants fill the pond that the dark water is almost completely covered.

In between the flowers, there are brush strokes of green, white, and yellow paint. What do you think they represent?

If you were looking into the water, what would you see?

Each chapter in the new guide covers an individual volume in the series: Animals, America, Artists, Cities, The Elements, Families, Feelings, Heroes, People, Play, The Weather, and Work. Teachers will love the standards-based activities that explore artistic concepts and interdisciplinary themes and reinforce concepts children read about in each volume of How Artists See. For easy lesson planning, each chapter is cross-referenced to the national standards in the main content areas, skills are organized with a scope and sequence chart, and a glossary is provided for easy reference to terminology that appears throughout the guide.
