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.
