Teaching Literature Through Art

Visual Manna's Teaching Literature Through Art features full-color reproductions of classic artwork along with art lessons that align with classic literature. Organized around different literary genres –epic fable, poetry, science fiction, personification, novels, and journal writing– each genre is defined with examples of works within the genre cited. A masterpiece that relates to the genre is featured with multiple art projects. Art concepts covered include line, shape, proportion, shading, texture, perspective, origami, drawing animals, and more through conversational, open-ended assignments.
