Produktdetaljer
"<strong><em>Parents’ Choice</em> Gold Award Winner (1999)<br /> National Parenting Publications Gold Award Winner (1999)</strong><br /> <br /> "Children’s imaginations will soar with this sketchbook of inspirational artwork, gentle suggestions, practical advice, and lots of white space for the aspiring artist’s use."
- Parents’ Choice,
"<em>Start with a Scribble</em> belongs in every elementary classroom library and home. Its fun-filled humorous illustrations will not only stimulate readers’ imaginations but tap into their creative processes."
- New York Journal of Books,
"What a marvelous book—funny, accessible and inspirational. . . . The ‘artistically undiscovered’ will thrill to hear the author’s advocation of the Gung-Ho approach, his urge to express your ‘you-ness’ and capture the spirit of things on paper. From drawing spectacles and emotional rabbits to creating a 3-Headed Red-Spotted Gorff (whatever that is) and dealing with human anatomy, Blake’s quirky guide will have you scribbling away in glee."
- Kirkus UK,
"There are lots of tricks artists know, and they’re not hard to learn. You just need the right instructor . . . [<em>Paint This Book!</em> and <em>Start with a Scribble</em>] fit the bill perfectly . . . both are filled with fun, light illustrations . . . and although these books leave plenty of room for artistic imagination, for me their real value is the way they introduce the ideas of perspective, line quality, and other helpful tools for beginning artists."
- Kathy Ceceri, WIRED.com,
- Prompts to inspire you (e.g., “emotional rabbits”)
- Doodles to finish (“Mrs. Thudkins takes her floppaterasis for a walk”)
- Techniques to try (only when the mood strikes you), from shading to perspective
- And plenty of wide-open space to play around in.
