Great Art Attack Stuff

A follow up to the excellent Art Attack, which ties in with the children's ITV programme of the same name, this second title once again brings a host of art and craft ideas, created by bubbly, Liverpudlian presenter, Neil Buchanan. Each creation whether a Grim Gargoyle doorknocker, a Wacky Watch calendar, or fantasy futuristic flyer, can be made from household junk. On nearly thirty spreads, the clear step by step instructions, supported with typical Dorling Kindersley close-up photos, should inspire and enable children to construct some spectacular models, decorations and pictures. Using newspaper, paint, PVA glue and other bits and pieces Buchanan's aim is to take children through the 'I can't do that' barrier. My favourite is the ingenious video city - a New York style cityscape in which dozens of videos can be stored. This is a great book to dip into either at home or school, as its author attempts to unlock the creative genius in anyone and everyone. Handy hints throughout the book and at the back give even more support to budding artists.
