Book Reviews of Look What I Did with a Leaf! (Naturecraft)
Book Review: Art-meets-science-meets-art
Summary: 4 Stars
Perfect for fall back-to-school art-meets-science-meets-art projects, this arts-n-crafts book offers some really clever, creative examples of animal collages made from a variety of leaves: particularly striking are the peacock and the cow. Tips on creating collages, from collecting and preserving leaves to using contrast and texture are described in clear, simple text. And although this is plainly a "how-to," book, Look what I Did... does offer a brief explanation of "the life cycle of a leaf," albeit delivered with far less enthusiasm than is the "Craft" portion of the book. There is also an interesting "field guide" at the end of the book that provides a picture and description of many deciduous tree leaves; unfortunately it is decidedly slanted toward the "East Coast" flora. (As a resident of the Pacific Northwest, it would have been nice to see a few examples of "left coast" trees included as well.)
Summary of Look What I Did with a Leaf! (Naturecraft)
Look What I Did with a Leaf! will show young art and craft lovers how to use nature's bounty to create fanciful animals and natural scenes. Readers will develop their artistic eye and soon learn to see the artistic possibilities that surround them. Morteza E. Sohi gives careful directions on how to choose leaves for shape and color, how to arrange them in an animal form, and how to preserve the finished work of art. A field guide helps young leaf artists learn more about the tools of their craft.
