If you were creating a world of your own, what would it look like? Would you build your house out of brick - or out of jelly? Would it be on the ground or in a tree? Would your shops sell envelopes and sweets - or shoes for superheroes? Would you ride a train to town, or a dinosaur? Taking the reader on an extraordinary visual journey through her imaginative world, award-winning illustrator, Laura Carlin, inspires children to look, draw and make - first from life, and then from the imagination through sharing her own personal thought-processes and drawing techniques. Using the narrative of a day - from getting up in the morning, to going to bed at night - Laura shows children how she records every day things and events on paper, and then improves them through her wild and witty imagination - helping children form a visual manifesto of their own world, and enthusing them to find enjoyment and entertainment in drawing and creating with the most everyday objects.

一， 你对绘画有什么样的态度？ 说到画画，你能想到什么？ 铅笔、彩笔、图画书、绘画比赛、大奖杯？！ 我在脑子里搜索了一圈，觉得印象最深也最活灵活现的就是小时候看的一部动画片——《神笔马良》。这好像是我最初的绘画启蒙“读物”，撇除我和弟弟拿着粉笔在家门口墙壁的砖...

论如何开发想象力

太可爱

真好呀，提示和鼓励小小朋友去观察生活，去想象未知，再用创作去表现心中的大大世界。没有拘束和规则， things aren’t always what they seem. 最近好喜欢逛图书馆的juvenile section，借没借到书都很开心。

收藏之~ 作者的才华让人嫉妒
