A review by kristenremenar
Art & Max by David Wiesner

3.0

Wiesner's art is fantastic as always, but the story felt a little frenetic. Still, the idea that art involves experimentation and not just technique is a good one. Might show students art by Seurat, Monet, Pollack, etc., and discuss differences. Combine this with "Ish" and "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds and "The Big Orange Splot" by Daniel Pinkwater.

For a lesson on print awareness, point out that the voices are in different fonts and colors - could be used for readers' theater.
