Covering a diversity of art forms — music, writing, painting, acting, comedy, dance and poetry — Joe Haddow’s Art is Everywhere is sure to unleash a life-enhancing creative spirit in 9+ year-olds. A great gift for arty kids in your life, this also comes recommended for school libraries, with the author’s lucid style brimming with infectious enthusiasm that might just spark a passion for artistic endeavours in even the most reluctant of creatives.
The book begins with answering that big “What is art?” question, pointing out that it’s “so much more than just drawings and paintings.” I especially loved Haddow’s tackling of art snobbery, subjectivity, and his overarching inclusive message — Like what you like! Create what you want!
The bulk of the book is divided into chapters covering specific forms of art, within which the author shares personal experiences and inspirational stories of figures associated with the art form. Add to that “Art in Action” sections that offer inspiring practical tips, and Art is Everywhere amounts to an invaluable compendium for young creatives.
