In the following video created by Kids’ Home Publishing, celebrated artist John Wolseley shows us what marvellous fun making an 8-page book can be – you can splosh and dribble, rub paper to make patterns, cut and paste and stick on all different kinds of fragments.
Watch John create a story around the life-cycle of a beetle local to his forest studio, using all the techniques which have made him a world famous artist and naturalist. This is a mini masterclass in creativity as play, with a beautiful reading of the finished book by the author.
