Product Information
Learn as you become an artist or an explorer! Whether they are guides to museums, catalogues for temporary exhibitions, or books on individual artists, 'Happy Museum!' books are great accessories for children, their families and teachers, on trips to a museum, an exhibition, at home or in school. The approach taken is playful and interactive, so that the child can learn while having fun! The books are peppered with games, comments, food for thought, opportunities for creativity and drawing, and concepts from art history. They help children to assimilate ideas which might seem complicated or abstract: techniques or theories such as 'still life', 'watercolour' or 'Impressionism'. This book helps you discover the passion, the life and work of the famous French painter Henri Matisse. Games, drawings, tips and thoughts bring this colourful 32 page, richly illustrated book to life. Matisse dances with the sun in the south of France. Imagine the magical colours of the rainbow sky. View Paris and the bohemian, the small studio in the attic. Colour the wings of a beautiful butterfly. Meet the painter beast ! Voyage to the island of Tahiti and plunge into its turquoise lagoons. What did you discover? Mermaids, shells, dolphins... Applaud the imaginary circus acrobats, sword swallowers and rider... And discover the passion, the life and work of the famous French painter Henri Matisse.
