they identify?
Discuss with students how art can be a way for people to express themselves and tell stories.

2.
Read a storybook about art or an artist (e.g., "The Dot" by Peter H. Reynolds) to the class or watch a video.
After reading, ask students what they learned about art from the story and how they feel about art.
