Following the highly acclaimed A is for Artist - Colour retains the same square format and fabric binding and the distinctive combination of Ella Doran's photographs with the styling, graphics and original artworks of Zoe Miller and David Goodman. The trio create artwork that is richly layered, and though the feel is contemporary it includes many references to classic design from the past.
This is a book filled with saturated photographs, mouth watering graphics and original artworks. Every page has been intriguingly designed to lead you through the whole spectrum of colour.
Aimed at 2 to 6 years olds, the book includes instructions for two colour-related activities, a ‘fortune teller’ and a colour spinner. Additionally, there are printing ‘tricks’ which will be popular with children of all ages - a revolving colour wheel reveals the mix of two colours, the prism page glows in the dark and eye-bending optical illusions reveal the properties of colour.
Colour introduces children to the concepts of primary, secondary and complementary colours. It also covers the language and cultural associations of colour, and is sure to provide a wonderful source of conversation between adult and child as they enjoy the book together.
