This fabulous book is packed full of arty facts and tips, along with twenty art challenges inspired by the masters. From “Stay in line like Picasso” to “Lay it on thick like Vincent van Gogh”, this quirky art guide covers a huge range of art styles. As you explore each master artist, you find out what makes them unique and also get a related art challenge.
At the back of the book is a really great section on the history of art. My daughter really liked this part of the book and she also made connections between the artworks she’d come across in other picture books.
Interspersed between the fascinating artist profiles, are “Niffty know-how” pages, that are a must-read for any budding artist. My three-year-old is learning pencil control at pre-school, and she loved these niffty little guides and was teaching me how to hold the pencil!
Be a Super Awesome Artist is inspiring, informative and inventive. I would recommend it for age 4+. This is a book children can dip in and out of and come back to over and over again, trying out a new style with each read. There is also scope to combine art challenges together – the artistic possibilities are endless!
*I received a complimentary copy of this book, which I voluntarily reviewed. This review contains my honest unbiased opinion.
