This is an amazing art activity book for kids made by
celebrated British artist and Royal Academician Bob and
Roberta Smith, which explores how art makes people powerful.
Through his original artworks, discover just how art helps
people to learn, through beautifully painted artworks that double
as prompts for us to create beautiful art of our own. Completing
activities on and off the page, young readers can't help but to be
creative all while using with very few materials, and
employing methods based in art historical principles to grow
and reflect on themselves as well as their creative journey.Â
Prompts are painted in Bob and Roberta Smith's unique and
distinctive style, in bright and bold colours which will stimulate
children's visual imaginations, making this a beautiful
object of art as well as a brilliant collection of creative
prompts. From painting the big bang and the universe expanding, to
drawing ourselvesas well as our ideas, this beautiful book
will show us the power inherent in artistic acts, and that we can
unlock in ourselves.
You Are an Artist is for everyone who wants to be an artist, but
has been too afraid to take the plunge. It combines a
thought-provoking meditation on art practice with a series of
practical exercises and creative provocations that encourage
everyone to fulfil their potential as an artist. The book is itself
a kind of art school, helping the reader to work out what kind of
artist they are, and what they can achieve. Drawing on the author's
experience as an art school teacher, it playfully adapts the
methods of art education, mixing these with the sideways approach
to creativity popularized by the author's activist campaigns. Smith
provides an array of ideas, tips and practical examples,
illustrated with documentary photographs of his own specially made
work. His riotous paintings and installations are set alongside
discussions of time, place, looking, thinking, stealing and
becoming, with enlightening forays into the history of art and
creativity. A collection of hilarious, at times startling and often
moving narratives bring to life a series of lessons about the
nature of art and inspiration. Each lesson comes with a series of
prompts to harness the reader's own artistic capabilities. Whether
we like it or not, says Bob and Roberta Smith, we have been
enrolled in the world, and the world is an art school. You are an
artist, because every human being who has ever lived was once an
artist.

Artist Bob and Roberta Smith was recently appointed by Commissions
East to oversee a project in which five artists were commissioned
to create site-specific projects to transform open spaces in South
Essex. With sensitivity, candour and a great deal of humour, Bob
Smith, and his alter ego, Roberta, ponder the nature and place of
public art in today's world. "Art U Need" is a refreshing addition
to the art debate, providing a unique insight into the workings of
the artist's mind. Through his remarkably honest approach, Bob and
Roberta Smith manages to encapsulate the larger issues surrounding
the roles of funding bodies, self-expression and, of course, the
public, in public art today.
This concise dictionary of organisms and their ecology contains over 10,000 entries on ecosystems, habitats, communities, populations, species, trophic structures, productivity, energetics, dynamics, associations, behavior, reproduction, and physiology. The taxonomy of plants, animals, monerans, protistans and fungi down to ordinal level is introduced, based on a modern system of classification favored by many workers. The definitions give brief details of structure, biology, distribution, diversity, common names, and taxa of special interest. For the majority of flowering plants and invertebrate animals the classification goes down to family level. Fossil groups are covered in a much more selective manner with an emphasis on vernacular names. Definitions are always clear and concise and the text is complemented by some 700 illustrations mostly of living organisms, but some showing biogeographical areas and a range of collecting equipment. This new dictionary has been developed from the authors' earlier work, Dictionary of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics (Cambridge University Press, 1982), to produce a less specialized book covering a subject field that can best be summed up as traditional natural history.

As the correspondents in volumes 15 and 16 were brought together
under the category of 'antiquaries, ' those in this volume may be
classed as 'virtuosi, ' although 'lawyer' would suit Hardinge
better. Lord Wharncliffe's description of Lord Strafford as
'eminently skilled in architecture and virtu' also fits Chute,
Bentely, Lord Harcourt, and Sir William Hamilton.
