Elke jong kind droom daarvan om te verf en om sy eie werk uit te stal. Maar die kind moet in die eerste paar stappe aangemoedig word deur ’n goeie resultaat met min moeite te verkry. Elke geperforeerde bladsy is dadelik gereed om uitgestal te word. Al wat nodig is, is om met die vingers, ’n oorpluisie of kwassie oor die prente te verf met water. Die stewige papier sal die klein hoeveelheid water wat benodig word, goed absorbeer en die kleure sal helder en lewendig vertoon. Boonop sal die eenvoudige illustrasies die kind inspireer om die werk te kopieer en sy eie, unieke kunswerke te skep. Alle verf is veilige, groentegebaseeerde kleure.

Coraline (Henry Selick, 2009) is stop-motion studio LAIKA's feature-length debut based on the popular children's novel by British author Neil Gaiman. Heralding a revival in global interest in stop-motion animation, the film is both an international cultural phenomenon and a breakthrough moment in the technological evolution of the craft. This open access collection brings together an international group of practitioners and scholars to examine Coraline's place in animation history and culture, dissect its politics, and unpack its role in the technological and aesthetic development of its medium. More broadly, it celebrates stop motion as a unique and enduring artform while embracing its capacity to evolve in response to cultural, political, and technological changes, as well as shifting critical and audience demands. Divided into three sections, this volume's chapters situate Coraline within an interconnected network of historical, industrial, discursive, theoretical, and cultural contexts. They place the film in conversation with the medium's aesthetic and technological history, broader global intellectual and political traditions, and questions of animation reception and spectatorship. In doing so, they invite recognition - and appreciation - of the fact that Coraline occupies many liminal spaces at once. It straddles the boundary between children's entertainment and traditional 'adult' genres, such as horror and thriller. It complicates a seemingly straight(forward) depiction of normative family life with gestures of queer resistance. Finally, it marks a pivotal point in stop-motion animation's digital turn. Following the film's recent tenth anniversary, the time is right to revisit its production history, evaluate its cultural and industry impact, and celebrate its legacy as contemporary stop-motion cinema's gifted child. As the first book-length academic study of this contemporary animation classic, this volume serves as an authoritative introduction and a primary reference on the film for scholars, students, practitioners, and animation fans.

Book 2 in the series. It's not often you find a children's book told completely in verse, with stunning illustrations that tell the story in a vibrant visual way. But, thankfully, the two-volume 'Little Tommy and the Kingdom of Clouds' is such a book, and as such deserves to become a treasure of childhood literature. The books outline in a unique and original way the adventures of Little Tommy, a small boy, who, thanks to a magical ring he finds, is whisked away to the enchanting Kingdom of Clouds. Here he befriends a whole host of animals with fantastic talents, particularly in sports and the arts. The stories highlight the qualities of imagination, creativity and hope, as well as the importance of friendship and following your dreams. Each passage in both volumes is reinforced by the superlative illustrations of Ukrainian artist, Nick Solonair, which I am sure both children and adults will love. The whole story takes the reader on a thrilling journey into someone else's world...across the Rainbow Staircase to the magical Kingdom of Clouds. So why not join Little Tommy on that journey and take a peek at his amazing adventures....": Agnes Meadows, Poet & Writer
