Although Herve Tullet has written over 70 publications, I
just ran across this book of his about a month or so ago. In my quest to read a second book by an
author, his Childhood Recaptured hit the spot for me. I should have read if earlier before today
when granddaughter came for a visit. If
you want to do a project from one of the chapters, it requires getting your
tools in order – whether a large roll of butcher paper, paint brushes, jars of
poster paint, coveralls. So I described
to granddaughter what we could do another day when she comes over.
The fun things Tullet describes are meant for large groups
of kids which doesn’t mean you are limited to many small children, though it
does sound delightful when he’s telling us to change places or switch papers to
make our art more interesting!
Wrapping up the book is an essay by Sophie Van der
Linden. She gives us an overview about
Mr. Tullet and his talents – from builder of workshops to encouraging young
participants; from his relaxed approach to being alert to everything that’s
happening around him. He sounds like the
ideal teacher that we’ve all dreamed of – in the world of art or otherwise.
We are seeing art becoming a larger part of our
granddaughter’s life. And it’ll be fun
to do one or more of these project with her, one day in the future. Thank you Herve Tullet for your talent.
