Creating a work of art is as simple as playing with different colours. Packed with easy art activities, this book from Marion Deuchars will transform anyone into an artist! Marion Deuchars' latest activity book for children and families uses colour as the starting point for different types of art. Bright colours, light colours, clashing colours, matching colours: all the colours of the rainbow. Taking inspiration from Paul Klee and the Bauhaus artists, Deuchars has devised a series of simple art activities based on colour. Budding young artists will learn how to create planets that radiate, rainbows that glow, teetering towers, a sea full of colourful fish, and much, much more using simple games and techniques. The book teaches some basic colour theory, and reveals simple tricks such as how to mix colours with coloured pencils using cross-hatching, and how to reveal hidden rainbows of colour by scraping away layers of paint. With something for every artist, Play With Colour makes starting a work of art easy and immediately satisfying.
