Media Reviews
The simple works of art featured here are a great way to help your kids forge a lasting bond with the natural world while having fun in the process. Whether it's using different-sized pebbles to create 'paw-prints' on the beach or drawing patterns in fresh snow with a twig, there's something to interest and amuse people of all ages. Amateur Gardening Wonderful inspiration for outdoor art classes. Junior Education The book contains nicely reproduced photographs of straightforward small-scale pieces of artwork, constructed by the the author from natural materials and shown outdoors. Rather than a catalogue of artist's works, the images in here are part illustration, part education - an attractive addition to a coffee table but also an educational guide. The author makes it clear that one reason for publishing is to inspire others to get out and have a go. And why not? While I wouldn't be keen on anyone suggesting artists head off to build hefty sculptures on hilltops, Pouyet's examples of land art are straightforward and inoffensive - and it looks like fun. TGO: The Great Outdoors For anyone looking for some creative inspiration, this book is a brilliant guide to how you can engage more closely with the shapes, colours and textures of the outdoors. Or, if you don't feel energetic enough to forage in the garden to create works of art, then it makes a lovely chill-out book in which to lose a couple of hours soaking up an alternative take on a natural world.
