The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse by Eric Carle
Rather than use the same old colors, a child paints animals and objects in a variety of different hues. Includes biographical information about the German painter Franz Marc, who created unconventional animal paintings in the early 1900s.
 
 
 
 
 
 
"This is the Way" Action Song:
This is the way we stir the paint, stir the paint, stir the paint
This is the way we stir the paint, so early in the morning
 
Additional Verses:
dip our brush
paint the paper
blow it dry
frame the picture
 
Art by Patrick McDonnell
A rhyming tribute to a budding young artist whose name just happens to be...  You guessed it:  Art!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
"Color Rhyme" Action Poem:
Blue is the sky, yellow is the sun
Silver are the twinkling stars when the day is done
Red is the bird, green is the tree
Brown are the cupcakes, for you and me!
 
Color Zoo by Lois Ehlert
 Introduces colors and shapes with illustrations of shapes on die-cut pages that form animal faces when placed on top of one another.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Look at these gorgeous artists' palettes we made for our craft!
