Summary

This book provides budding young artists with a how-to guide to making their own collages, and is brimful of fascinating hints and tips from a master of the genre. Over the course of a 40-year career, Jeannie Baker has perfected the art of collage in the creation of picture-book classics such as "Where the Forest Meets the Sea" and "Window", a Boston Globe-Horn Honor Book. Her stunning pieces, devised by assembling all sorts of different textures, are known all around the globe. Whether it's dried flowers or tiny shells, spaghetti or postage stamps, she uses the world around her to make work that is astonishingly beautiful and deeply creative. In this title, she shares her secrets at last, to encourage young readers to get creative and try out this amazing artform for themselves. Within each of this book's four main sections, Jeannie presents an abstract collage of her own and offers suggestions and starting points for the beginner. There are no right or wrong answers in this treasure of a book, it's all about trusting your instincts ... and playing!
