I was disappointed when this book arrived as it is basically a glorified sketch book. I appreciate the encouragement for children to develop their own ideas but surely a few pages that you can actually colour in could have been incorperated into the format. Don't buy this unless you want to do a lot of the work yourself.

I bought this expecting there to be a mass of Hundertwasser's works to colour in but there aren't any. It is more of an activity book. I feel the description is misleading.

Learning and creative fun
16 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback
Unlike the previous reviewer, I and my 7-year-old son are both quite fond of this book. True, it is not a "coloring book" in the traditional sense, but in my opinion it is *so much more* than a coloring book and not at all a disappointment. The book has images of Hundertwasser's work and very brief descriptions/explanations, and then there is space for the child to create something similar of his own. For instance the book shows how Hundertwasser uses a lot of spiral shapes inspired by nature, and then invites the child to draw an image with spirals. Other themes are for instance friends, hats and favorite colors. The book gives suggestions for what to draw, inspired by Hundertwasser,and then allows the child to create independently, instead of merely coloring in pre-printed images. Much more satisfying and developing! We used this book to prepare for a trip to Vienna where we saw quite a bit of Hundertwasser's work, and my son was quite excited to recognize things (even color themes and shapes) from the book, and has enjoyed working with it afterwards as well. It also gave us the opportunity to talk specifically about Hundertwasser, and generally about art and artists' work. My son is not normally very artistically creative, but this book gave him inspiration to draw and explore things he probably wouldn't have come up with on his own. A very good purchase!

If you love Hendertwasser

If you love Hundertwasser what is not to love about his inspirational and encouraging little coloring book. I have used it for journal inspiration and quilt inspiration. His colors are so fun; recreating them in my own palette was joyful. Let your inner child out to play with crayons and colored pencils.
A great creative sparker! Not just a coloring book

A great creative sparker! Not just a coloring book. This book is excellent because it tells, in easy to understand writing, of the artist and his backgound as well as his main values of life. Lots of great activities for the creative child.
