Deuchars is a British designer who has taken children seriously, explaining in very simple terms and hands-on experience some iconing techniques of modern artists such as Miro, Picasso or Calatrava. By doing so she has enabled kids to produce strikingly powerful and accomplished visual pieces themselves. Her books have different levels of complexity though, some being for 5-6 and others for 8 and up all the way to young adults. We have bought editions of this book in English, Spanish and French as birthday presents becasuse parents have commented on how inspiring it has been to see our kids producing art that looks so accomplished.On the one hand it is great to have an artist diary, constructed almos as a learning/experimenting log, and not as a coloring book. On another some of the techniques the book invits kids to experiment with would be better off in especial papers and not bound. One aspect to consider is that to take full advantage of this book, kids require to have access to a wide array of media. Although a begginer sample set of color pencils, water colors, tempera, etc would normally do, we did not have many of the specific materials before buying this book.In conclusion a most definitly 2 thumbs up, with the warning however of expecting to be asked to use a wide variety of techniques to take full advantage of it.
I bought this book for my wife who is an artist and a preschool teacher. It's fun and inspiring to look through - a great source of ideas to introduce children (or anyone!) to art and get them involved.
The book is a great idea for budding artists. My only complaint is that the preview indicates a study in Pointillism, one of the attractions of this book, since it would be easy for a very young artist to do, but that study is not actually in the book. So perhaps it was an error on the preview, and is actually in her other books. I will likely return it at this time, but will purchase in the future as my child advances.
Got this book as a gift for my son's third grade teacher. She is very into the arts and I thought this might be a great book not only for her personal use but also for art project ideas for the class. I flipped through the book before we gifted it to her and its so full of fun little activities! I was half tempted to do them before giving them to her, haha! Anyway, she really enjoyed the book!
I love this book. Deceptively simple instructions for creating art based on a few of the greats. Got a wonderful idea for simple monoprinting (thank you Marion Deuchars and Andy Warhol). For beginner and advanced artists alike.
Marion Deuchars!!! OMG... I wish I think like her. One of the best findings in my life. Easy yet fun. Simple yet lots to learn. Strongly recommended!!! We all enjoy it in my family including the girls (12&5).Four stars because we have more thab half left to go. I will put an update. : )
I just got this book in the mail and already my 5 year old has taken some of the methods described under Joan Miro's section and put them to use. He is inspired and feels empowered to make more art based on methods used by some of the greats.A must have for budding artists young and old!
Fun book for kids and adults.
