The book is both a children's story book and a craft book and is in
two parts. The story book section contains short and longer stories
for young children to read printed in both English and French. The
craft section is an introduction to painting for the aspiring young
artists. Part One - includes full colour illustrations of plates
originally painted by hand on porcelain/china and canvas by Marie
Dubois. On the opposite page the author has written stories both in
English and French based on the theme of each plate. The stories
have been translated to French to familiarise young children to a
foreign language, especially now learning a second language has
been added to the school curriculum. Part Two - is an introduction
to the art of painting. The book gives brief instructions as to the
materials required, basic techniques and painting principles that
beginners will need to create some fine artistic tableau, as well
as definitions of various brush strokes for beginners to practice,
so that they can achieve their own fine art work. The Book also
includes line work for each plate design, which can be traced on to
any painting material. It is hoped that the artwork contained in
this volume will inspire other painters to produce similar pieces
of work. The designs require a great deal of careful creative
attention. All drawings and colours on the designs have a
distinctive style particularly the characteristic figures, old
fashion costumes and hats. The book is not only for children to
read or parents to read to their children, but is also for
painters, art teachers and others who might be interested in
creating this fine art and will have reason to feel proud of their
own achievements.
This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This
IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced
typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have
occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor
pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original
artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe
this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections,
have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing
commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We
appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the
preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
