Andy Web is a spider with a passion for drawing.
His home is in the National Gallery. He dreams of becoming an artist like all
the famous ones whose work is displayed in the gallery. But how can a spider
achieve his creative dreams?
Our Andy is a never -say-die web spinner. He
utilises the shapes and forms of the famous paintings to perfect his technique.
He must accept that colour will never enter his work. Maybe there is another
way of making his art sparkle?
Andy uses what he has, to become what he longs to
be.
This is a brilliant story designed to bring
children closer to art. Incorporated into the long list of ideas and approaches
are art styles, shapes and artistic forms of expression.
Humour and clever wordplay present this interesting
approach to learning about art. With inspiring themes of persistence, self
belief and following your dreams regardless of the obstacles you come across,
it will teach children to never give up!
This highly imaginative book will sure to be a
favourite with parents and children. Starting from the fantastic cover and end
pages, every part of it is beautifully designed and adorned by Maree Coote’s
stunning artwork and superb text. Added is a hidden challenge for children to
seek and find on the pages.
There are Clever Kids Teachers’ Notes at the end,
which continue the instruction of art information through Q&A. I loved this
book. Every part of it was full of interest.
