How Artists See is designed to teach children the art of
observation and increase their visual literacy. These interactive,
inquiry-based books - great for both home and classroom - invite
young readers to compare and contrast the ways in which different
artists treat similar themes. They are an ideal way to introduce
kids to art. This new edition of How Artists See Play is revised
and redesigned from cover to cover. More than two-thirds of the
featured artworks are newly selected, and they are even more
stylistically and culturally diverse - ranging from an ancient
Egyptian sculpture to a Persian miniature to a woodcarving by a
contemporary Hispanic artist. Also available in the series: How

This is a hands-on, write-in, look-and-feel sketchbook. Children
follow the process of a real fashion designer to create their own
fashion collection. This includes finding inspiration, making a
mood board, collecting and gathering research, choosing colours and
a defining silhouette, experimenting with fabrics, print and
pattern, building a capsule selection of garments into a
collection, and then creating a `lookbook' to show off the new
range. There are also spreads about preparing for the runway show,
including hair and make-up. Finally, there's the high-street launch
to consider. The book is aimed at children aged eight and over, but
older children and younger teens should also find plenty to keep
them inspired. Has the genuine feel of a real sketchbook: it has an
elastic closure, and the front cover is die-cut so that the child
can sign the title page beneath to make their own fashion-label
logo.
