Cet album emmène les enfants de 3 à 7 ans dans les coulisses des grandes expositions : comment les artistes concoivent-ils leurs oeuvres, avec quels outils ? Qu'arrive-t-il à l'oeuvre d'art ensuite, de l'atelier au parcous d'exposition ? Dans cette découverte, les personnages clés de la conception d'expositions sont présentés : commissaires, photographes, transporteurs, visiteurs et plus. Le tout illustré par Rose Blake, à qui l'on doit notamment les illustrations d'Une Histoire des Images pour les enfants par David Hockney.
Geared to children ages 4 to 8, but with appeal for all ages, this colorful and playful book asks: Who are artists? Why do they make art? What materials do they use? What tools do they work with? What forms do their artworks take?
Structured around a tour of an artists' studio complex, the book introduces readers to street artists, ceramicists, conceptual artists, textile artists, photographers, glassblowers, and more! The artists share their working spaces and their techniques while explaining why they make art.
Rose and Doro's first publication, Making a Great Exhibition, published in 2021, was acclaimed by The New York Times for «demystifying the art world and making it accessible to budding young artists,» and lauded by the renowned author and illustrator Oliver Jeffers, who wrote, «If this book helps shed light to just one kid that [art] is a viable career option, then it has done its job, as art is indescribably important!»
Now Rose and Doro have teamed up for a second time to bring their experiences with and love for the world of art to a young audience.
