Art Books Exploring Lenape History By Jeanne Jablonski, visiting NJ AIE Artist, 4th grade Art/History: This lesson was inspired by ATI and incorporates book making and print making. The students were learning about the Lenni Lenape in social studies and I worked with the art teacher to make books by printing images on paper with found objects as illustrations for stories that they created about the Lenape History.

Doll Books and More- Integrating Art, Literacy, and Culture by Lonnie Stewart-Austin, grades 4-8 Art, Literacy, and Social Studies: This lesson inspired by ATi and NJ AIE artists teaches students about literacy and world cultures by having them create "doll books", books in the shape of a character. Students are also involved in a variety of art styles including necklace books, muraling, dance, and stained glass window making.
