Mini Artists

Twenty art projects for budding mini artists, inspired by famous artworks.

WINNER of the Made For Mums 2024 Gold Award - Non-fiction/activity book Twenty art projects inspired by famous artworks for budding mini artists aged 3–6 years. The benefits of art to young children are well known. Art stimulates curiosity, creativity and the imagination. It also cultivates wellbeing, but being creative with young children can feel surprisingly daunting - and this is where Mini Artists comes in. The twenty projects in Mini Artists are designed to engage children with art through making. Mini artists will discover drip painting with Jackson Pollock, carve soap sculptures with Barbara Hepworth, and create their own obliteration room with Yayoi Kusama. They'll also travel through time and explore art from different periods, from cave painting to Medieval stained-glass, and Chinese ink painting to washable graffiti inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat. Each project requires minimal set-up so the maximum amount of time is spent creating together, and the step-by-step instructions show photographs of the projects in progress so they can be followed at a glance. The projects use simple materials, from clay to ink to paint. Being grounded in art history, Mini Artists features a range of interesting art techniques that are ideal for teaching new motor skills.

Following on from Mini Artists and Mini Architects, this new title will introduce creative children to the world of Graphic and Product Design. Across twenty easy-to-prepare craft activities, children will gain an understanding of how and why objects have been created throughout history - from traditional items made for function and cultural significance to essential and efficiently crafted everyday products - and creations that reflect the creativity of the artists who made them. From road signs and billboards seen on the way to school or nursery, to lamps that light our homes, children are surrounded by examples of creative design every day. Through twenty projects by designers from across the world, mini designers will learn what good design can accomplish and how to apply those principles in their own creativity. The wide variety of activities and craft techniques means there is something for every interest and mood. Craft projects include making a mixed-media vase inspired by Hella Jongerius, creating a toy race car from recycled materials and designing a map of an imaginary city based on the iconic London Tube map. With fast set-up and clean-down times for every project, this book is perfect for use at home or in schools and play groups, and will make for wonderful creative bonding time between imaginative children and their art-loving grown-ups.

Paint by Sticker Kids: America

A glorious fusion of history and art, A Vast Horizon tells the story of Pablo Picasso and his free-spirited friends, including Lee Miller and Man Ray, in the tumultuous years around the Second World War. 'Excellent and revealing . . . at the end we feel their loss as if they had been our friends' - Antony Penrose, Lee Miller Archives 'At once intimate and expansive . . . a fascinating portrait' - Clare Mulley, author of Agent Zo Late summer 1937. Europe is inching towards war. In the South of France a group of friends picnic in a secluded clearing. The women have peeled down their dresses to their waists. A couple kiss playfully while the others look on, laughing. The moment is captured in Lee Miller's now-iconic image. Some of the friends are well known, others less so: the dancer Ady Fidelin, the poet Paul Éluard and his wife Nusch, the Surrealists Man Ray and Roland Penrose. They are spending the summer with fellow artists Dora Maar, Eileen Agar and Pablo Picasso. In A Vast Horizon biographer Anna Thomasson tells the story of their creativity, friendships and pursuit of freedom set against the tense political backdrop of the 1930s, the Second World War and its aftermath. Tracing their lives through their photographs, artworks, poems and letters, from the heady weeks of creativity, sex and collaboration of that Mediterranean summer through the tumultuous years that followed, it is the story of rebellious lives and the redemptive power of art.

Among the handicraft products of Selinunte, pottery played a central role, both in terms of the development of the city and in relation to its contacts with the motherland Megara Iblaea, the other Sicilian colonies and the indigenous centres of western Sicily. Linda Adorno focuses on the locally produced pottery discovered in the insula on the eastern edge of the agora, which can be dated to the period between the last quarter of the 7th and the end of the 6th century BC. The vessels were categorised according to type and function. For this purpose, a selection of more than 1,200 vases was made from stratigraphies with reliable chronologies. This provides an overview that has never before been available in this form. Although these are simple everyday objects, the study of vase production has provided essential data that contribute to a better understanding of the social, economic and cultural structure of the Selinuntean community.
A significant part of the research was dedicated to the early phases of colonial settlement in order to outline the temporal development of the ceramics produced by the city's workshops based on their models. In analyzing the evolution of these productions, imitation phenomena closely linked to models from the Corinthian and Ionian traditions transmitted by Megara Iblea were also taken into account. Finally, the conclusions propose a reconstructive synthesis of the systems, technological structures and work organisation that characterized the "model" of the Selinunte craft industry.
The book is written in Italian.
