Look up! Look down! Look around you! This creative activity book for children aged 7+ will encourage drawing, painting, writing and creativity.
The world around us is full of exciting things - people, places, shapes, patterns, colours - but so much of it passes us by. Changing the way that we look can help us see more of these great things that we usually take for granted, and notice things that can make us smile. Maybe you'll see a particularly pretty puddle, a building with eyes and a mouth, a cloud that looks like a dog or a dog that looks like a cloud!
This book will help you look closer at everything around you and to record your observations through drawing, writing and photography. The best way to use this book is to take it out and about with you, and complete the pages that work with your surroundings. It's full of space to draw, write and stick things in and activities to complete, as well as information about artists that you may not already know. It shows that anyone can be creative and that creativity and inspiration are all around us. The book not only encourages children to create like artists but also encourages them to appreciate their surroundings.
As Paul Smith says, "you can find inspiration in anything and if you can't then look again".
向上看!向下看!看看周围!这本为7岁以上儿童编写的创意活动书,鼓励人们画画、绘画、写作和创造。
我们周围的世界充满了令人兴奋的东西:人、地方、形状、图案、颜色,但很多东西都与我们擦肩而过。改变我们的观察方式可以帮助我们看到更多这些我们通常认为理所当然的伟大事物,并注意到可以让我们微笑的事物。也许你会看到一个特别漂亮的水坑,一栋有眼睛和嘴巴的建筑,一朵看起来像狗的云,或者一只看起来像云的狗!
这本书将帮助你仔细观察周围的一切,并通过绘画、写作和摄影来记录你的观察。使用这本书的最好方法是带着它出去走走,并完成与你周围环境有关的页面。书中充满了可供绘画、书写、粘贴的空间和可完成的活动,以及你可能还不知道的艺术家信息。它表明,任何人都可以有创造力,而且创造力和灵感就在我们身边。这本书不仅鼓励孩子们像艺术家一样创作,而且还鼓励他们欣赏周围的环境。
正如保罗·史密斯(Paul Smith)所说,“你可以在任何东西中找到灵感,如果找不到,那就再看看。”
