Synopsis

An activity book with a contemporary twist, Think and Make Like an Artist explores how artists find ideas and turn them into finished artworks. First, children discover how artists think, research and experiment, then they try out art projects for themselves. Children are encouraged to set their imaginations free and to respond to clever visual prompts and suggestions, enabling them to create entirely unique artworks. Moving beyond the traditional, canonical approach to art, the book covers a wide range of media and introduces fresh new creative ideas and practices, giving children the confidence to make their own creative decisions.

Winner: Children s Trade 9-16 Years category, British Book Design & Production Awards

About this title

Review:

Aspiring young artists looking for creative inspiration will be well served by this engaging book of lively art projects. All the projects featured are bright, colorful, and a little zany and none require advanced artistic skills.

Think and Make Like an Artist provides perfect creative inspiration for children with bright and engaging ideas presented in a unique and accessible way --Crafts Council

An inspiring introduction to the concept of art as a vehicle to comment on or question the world... Tackling painting, sculpture, paper craft, photography, and more, this art-related activity book asks readers to respond to the world around them by creating. The instructions leave room for experimentation, and suggested materials are easy to find, often incorporating everyday household objects. Great for teachers, libraries, and budding makers looking for fresh and colorful hands-on activities. --.

The perfect gift for the budding artist. Different from a run-of-the-mill crafting book... while also providing instructions for some thoughtful, display-worthy crafts. --.
