Additional Resources

There are many resources available for educators, volunteers and children who would like more information on any particular presentation topic.

The Arlington Heights Memorial Library and the OMS library are valuable resources for beautiful art books for adults and children. Many volunteers have found books with beautiful full color photos of prints they are discussing, or prints that can be compared to prints in the curriculum. The books about art and artists targeting children are very informative, and often provides the perfect level of difficulty, or rather simplicity, when it comes to detailed information about a period, an art movement or an artist. We have also added some books to the Art Awareness collection - please look in our cabinets in the LMC.

The 'Getting to know the World's Greatest Artists' series of books and DVDs, deserves special mention as the series is so appropriate for elementary school aged children, often providing all the information you need about a particular artist. These books and DVDs are available for checkout at the Arl. Hts. library.
