This book concentrates on the deep historical, political, and
institutional relationships between art, education, and excess.
Going beyond field specific discourses of art history, art
criticism, philosophy, and aesthetics, it explores how the concept
of excess has been important and enduring from antiquity through
contemporary art, and from early film through the newer interactive
media. Examples considered throughout the book focus on disgust,
grandiosity, sex, violence, horror, disfigurement, endurance,
shock, abundance, and emptiness, and frames them all within an
educational context. Together they provide theories and
classificatory systems, historical and political interpretations of
art and excess, examples of popular culture, and suggestions for
the future of educational practice.
This book examines the paradox of creativity in art education and
proposes a possible resolution. Based on the findings of a
longitudinal ethnographic study as a particular case of creative
practice in art education, this book is underpinned by Bourdieu's
concepts of the habitus, symbolic capital and misrecognition. The
author offers an insightful account of social reasoning within
creative practice in the senior school art classroom, examining
ongoing exchanges between students and their teacher. Ultimately,
these exchanges culminate in actions, beliefs and desires about
what is creatively conceivable in the making of art, while
providing confirmation without corruption of the pedagogical role
of the art teacher. Allowing the context of creative agency to
emerge afresh, this book will be of interest and value to art
educators and teachers committed to fostering the creative
performances of students in any field.

At the gallery, Luna is transfixed by the famous art, but her classmate Finn doesn’t seem to want to be there at all. Finn's family doesn't look like the one in Henry Moore's 'Family Group' sculpture, but then neither does Luna's. Maybe all Finn needs is a friend.
Join Luna and Finn at the Art Gallery and step inside famous works of art by Van Gogh, Damien Hirst, Henri Matisse, Andy Warhol and many more! Can you spot all the art?
Created by award-winning poet Joseph Coelho, this book follows Luna Loves Library Day as an introduction to different types of family.

in Paris. Sent to live in the royal household, she started
sculpting famous figures, including King Louis XVI himself. This is
the amazing story of the woman who founded London's celebrated
waxwork museum, Madame Tussaud's.

* 4 Starred Reviews * * An Indie Next List Pick * "Playful, bold,
and, much like its subject, full of grace." -Jillian Tamaki,
Caldecott Honor winner for This One Summer "It Began with a Page
tells [Gyo Fujikawa's] story beautifully, in picture-book form."
-The New Yorker From beloved team Kyo Maclear and Julie Morstad
(creators of Julia, Child and Bloom: A Story of Fashion Designer
Elsa Schiaparelli) comes an elegant picture book biography that
portrays the most moving moments in the life of Gyo Fujikawa, a
groundbreaking Japanese American hero in the fight for racial
diversity in picture books. Equal parts picture book biography,
inspiring story, and a look at racial diversity in America, It
Began with a Page is a gem for any book lover, librarian, or child
who dares to dream big. Growing up in California, Gyo Fujikawa
always knew that she wanted to be an artist. She was raised among
strong women, including her mother and teachers, who encouraged her
to fight for what she believed in. During World War II, Gyo's
family was forced to abandon everything and was taken to an
internment camp in Arkansas. Far away from home, Gyo worked as an
illustrator in New York while her innocent family was imprisoned.
Seeing the diversity around her and feeling pangs from her own
childhood, Gyo became determined to show all types of children in
the pages of her books. There had to be a world where they saw
themselves represented. Gyo's book Babies was initially rejected by
her publisher, but after she insisted, they finally relented, and
Babies went on to sell almost two million copies. Gyo's books paved
the way for publishers, teachers, and readers to see what we can be
when we welcome others into our world. The book includes extensive
backmatter, including a note from the creators, a timeline,
archival photos, and further information on Gyo Fujikawa. A Chicago

Children love to pore over detailed illustrations, especially when
they contain hidden elements for them to find. This endlessly
entertaining book opens up entire historic periods to young readers
in double page spreads that are teeming with life and meticulously
drawn to teach them about artistic traditions. Each spread
represents a moment in history, capturing how art was integrated
into daily life and illustrating contemporary styles, tools and
mediums. Children will learn about cave paintings and what humans
used for light and why they painted so many animals and hunting
scenes. They'll find themselves in Ancient Greece, where deities
watch over a busy marketplace in front of the Parthenon, a
cross-section of a medieval monastery, Leonardo's workshop, and a
collection of 19th-century artists painting in nature are just a
few more of the examples which take readers through to the present
day. Containing additional information including facts and
anecdotes that enhance the experience of learning this is a book to
turn to again and again. Where's the Artist provides an ingenious
and beautifully executed tutorial on art history that will
captivate children of any age.
A new book of sketches, artwork, and personal reflection from the
brilliant mind of award-winning, bestselling author and illustrator
Shaun Tan.
"I'm often wary of using the word 'inspiration' to introduce my
work -- it sounds too much like a sun shower from the heavens,
absorbed by a passive individual enjoying an especially receptive
moment. While that may be the case on rare occasions, the reality
is usually far more prosaic. Staring at a blank piece of paper, I
can't think of anything original. I feel utterly uninspired and
unreceptive. It's the familiar malaise of 'artist's block' and in
such circumstances there is only one thing to do: just start
drawing." -- Shaun Tan
And when Shaun Tan starts drawing, the results are stunning. In THE
BIRD KING: AN ARTIST'S NOTEBOOK, we find a window into the creative
process: the stops and starts, the ideas that never took off, and
the ones that grew into something much bigger. Fans of THE ARRIVAL
will recognize the quirky, surreal sensibility that is so
distinctly Shaun Tan in this stunning collection, and gain insight
into how his many gorgeous books were made.
