"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.
