Besides relating Caleb's illustration to the fine art tradition that uses clowns as a subject matter, we offer discussion questions and art activities for kids to do at home and in classrooms.

The "Talk Art" articles in the NCBLA's ED Resource Center are not just for art teachers- they are also for parents, homeschoolers, classroom teachers, and librarians, anyone interested in exploring art with children and teens, especially when art and music budgets are being cut in schools systems across the country.

In The Exquisite Corpse Adventure Educational Resource Center you will also find a wonderful "read more about it" book recommendations, classroom writing activities, and discussion questions brought to you by the faculty and graduate students at Dominican University's Butler Children's Literature Center!
