Play with Color: An Art Activity Book - Paperback

by Marion Deuchars (Author)

Marion Deuchars's latest activity book for children and families uses color as the starting point for different types of art. Bright colors, light colors, clashing colors, matching colors, and all the colors of the rainbow.

Taking inspiration from Paul Klee and the Bauhaus artists, Deuchars has devised a series of simple art activities based on color.

Budding young artists will learn how to create dotty flowers that shine like the sun, swirly faces, teetering towers, a sea full of colorful fish, and much, much more using games and techniques.

The book teaches some basic color theory and reveals simple tricks such as how to mix colors with colored pencils using crosshatch lines and how to reveal hidden rainbows of color by scraping away layers of paint.

With something for every artist, Play with Color makes starting a work of art easy and immediately satisfying.

For ages 4+
