Splatter This Art Book!: A Radical Journal with 45 Activities - Paperback

by Riley Lee (Author)

Forget about keeping this book clean. It's time to get messy--with art!

This book is a total mess. And that's the point.

Splatter This Art Book is designed for wild-hearted makers ages 7-10 who crave creativity without rules. Instead of clean sketchbooks and neat coloring pages, this interactive journal encourages kids to bend, fold, smear, glue, stamp, splatter, and scribble their way through playful, unpredictable art adventures.

Organized into five themes--Scribble & Doodle, Smudge & Splatter, Cut & Collage, Print & Press, and Big Art Energy--the book is packed with 45 activities that invite kids to try bold techniques. One day they might create a fingerprint frenzy, build torn-paper portraits, or tilt the book to race splatters down a page. The next, they could be smashing crayons sideways, pressing bubble wrap into paint, or covering a spread in giant group graffiti.

Every smear, fold, and splash turns this book into something different for every child. With a voice that cheers on experimentation and a format that welcomes mess, it empowers kids to see art as a living, personal adventure.

Part of the new series from SkyTree Book Fairs and Bushel & Peck Books--including Crunch This Nature Book and Zap This Science Book--Splatter This Art Book celebrates curiosity, courage, and creativity--one splash at a time.
