I Love To Collage Hb

Sometimes art can seem intimidating to kids-but collage, with its layering of already-existing images and materials, feels like something they can master. With this exciting new entry in Lark's My Very Favorite Art Book series, readers aged five and up will have a blast learning basic techniques and producing fabulous finished pieces. Young artists will get creative as they cut out facial features from magazines and rearrange them in whimsical portraits; weave strips of paper together to form interesting visual patterns; and design a cityscape from geometric shapes. They can even make personalized greeting cards for friends and family. Each finished project is showcased in a full-page photo or illustration-and because the text is kept to a minimum, even pre-readers can follow along. Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 5-This creative book begins with a detailed list of possible collage materials, including newspaper, leaves, pasta, candy wrappers, and beads. It also includes a list of supplies such as markers and glue, and encourages the use of an anything goes mantra. Using colorful drawings and photographs, each of the 20 projects is detailed on a spread and includes step-by-step directions, a supply list, and helpful hints for continuing to create along the same theme. This is an excellent choice for school and public libraries, art curriculums, and, with adult assistance, preschoolers.-G.

From Booklist Like previous books in the My Favorite Art Book series, this one is right on target for its audience. Though young crafters may need an adult standing by as they work, children comfortable using scissors, paints, and glue will be able to negotiate many of Lipsey's projects on their own. Materials are readily available, and projects are diverse--from comical collages of cat pictures to cards for friends and loved ones. Supply lists and detailed instructions are clearly laid out, and pictures suggesting new ideas encourage kids to go further on their own: a collage sailboat takes its place in a beach scene. The photos are excellent and in full color, making this as attractive as it will be fun to use. Stephanie Zvirin Copyright å© American Library Association. All rights reserved
