ELEM: Books on art

[Elizabeth Gillies <yarrowlib@YAHOO.COM>]

Dear LM-Netters,
     I have a Gr 4/5 teacher who would like me to get
in some books on art.  She is trying to include some
social studies as well combining the history and
culture of many famous artists.
    She is looking for simple books that show textures
and lines, and allow intermediate students to
experience the enjoyment of well known aritists.
Artists like Van Gogh, the Group of Seven, Emily Carr,
Degas etc.
     Does anyone have any suggestions of simple books
that could be used and that would encourage students
of this age to emulate these artisits in their art
activities as well as gain a brief understanding of
their lives and culture of the times?
        Thanks,
           Elizabeth
