"It never occurred to me while growing up that art is an industry
involving countless jobs, so if this book helps shed light to just
one kid that it is a viable career option, then it has done its
job, as art is indescribably important!" -Oliver Jeffers, Artist
and Illustrator "This book so beautifully explains to kids what
goes into making an art exhibition. It's not just about an artist
hanging something on a wall for people to see: it's so much more
lively, layered, and community-driven. Even I learned a ton about
what truly goes into a fantastic art show!" -Joy Cho, Author and
Founder of Oh Joy! "I wish I'd had this book when I was a kid! I
always wanted my art to be in a big museum one day but, growing up
in a small town, that just seemed impossible. Making a Great
Exhibition is a beautifully illustrated behind-the-scenes peek at
exactly how art makes its way from an artist's mind to the big
white walls of a fancy gallery. Turns out, there are a lot of
people, with some very cool jobs, who make the magic happen-and any
book that shows kids (and parents!) they can grow up to have a
career in the arts is okay by me!" -Danielle Krysa, The Jealous
Curator An exciting insight into the workings of artists and
museums, Making a Great Exhibition is a colorful and playful
introduction geared to children ages 3 to 7. How does an artist
make a sculpture or a painting? What tools do they use? What
happens to the artwork next? This fun, inside look at the life of
an artwork shows the journey of two artists' work from studio to
exhibition. Stopping along the way we meet colorful
characters-curators, photographers, shippers, museum visitors, and
more! Both illustrator and author were raised in the art world,
spending their time in studios, doing homework in museum offices,
and going to special openings. They have teamed up to share their
experiences and love for this often mysterious world to a young
audience. London-based illustrator Rose Blake is best known for her
work in A History of Pictures for Children, by David Hockney and
Martin Gayford, which has been a worldwide success. Author Doro
Globus brings her love for the arts and kids together with this fun
journey.

This book 'The Buckle My Shoe Picture Book' is one of many 'Toy
Books' by Walter Crane and contains the stories Buckle My Shoe, The
Gaping-Wide-Mouth-Waddling Frog and My Mother. Many of the earliest
children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and
before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook
Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable,
high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork
so these works can delight another generation of children. About
the Illustrator: Walter Crane (1845-1915) was one of the earliest
contributors to children's literature and one of the most
influential illustrators in the development of children's' colour
picture books. Crane began working for Edmund Evans in 1864
producing bright, colourful children's books which revolutionised
the type of children's books available. He created a series of 'Toy
Books' between 1865-1875 which contained fairy stories, nursery
rhymes and other tales of adventures. His wonderful Japanese
influenced illustrations with their bright, bold, flat colour and
black outline never failed to entertain both children and adults.
Jane Roberts was the average girl next door until she and her
best friend, Scarlett Harp, landed their own hit reality show, L.A.
Candy. But life on camera is getting complicated. . . .
When racy photos of Jane are leaked to the press, she becomes
the center of a tabloid scandal. She turns to costar Madison Parker
for help, but does Madison really have Jane's back?
Scarlett's got a scandal of her own. She's fallen for a guy
who's strictly off-limits--which means Scarlett has a big secret to
keep. But nothing stays secret for long in Hollywood.
In television star Lauren Conrad's dishy, entertaining novel
about young Hollywood, the lies are only as sweet as the people
telling them.
The print companion to Kentridge's latest film series, bringing to life
the eccentric, whimsical world of the artist's mind and his studio
In his newest film series, Self-Portrait as a Coffee-Pot, South African
artist William Kentridge (born 1955) invites us into the whimsical,
protean world of his studio (and, by extension, his mind). Kentridge
experiments with every aspect of his practice: from painting and
printmaking to his collaborative performance Waiting for the Sybil.
This experiment in embodiment and phenomenological experience
originally created for streaming (and now available on MUBI) has now
been reimagined as a printed publication. Kentridge reworks each
episode through a selection of film stills and script extracts, this
new form reinvigorating the series' investigations into the
relationship between mark-making and self-fashioning.
This book 'A Masque Of Days, From The Last Essays Of Elia' was
originally published in 1901. The masque was a courtly feast
involving dance, theatre, music and song popular in sixteenth
century Europe and this work is a charming allegorical tale in
which the guests at such a masque are The Days of the year, whose
invitations are brought to them by twelve foot-pages called The
Hours. Guests include Pay Day, who arrives late, Rainy Day dressed
in wet stockings, and Wedding Day, who wears his marriage finery.
