Product Description

Painting is to dream, said Hundertwasser. When the dream
is over, I don t remember anything I dreamed about. The
painting, however, remains. It is the harvest of my dream. This
statement is at the heart of this engaging introduction to the
work of the eccentric artist, humanitarian, environmentalist,
and architect who dedicated his life to the beautification of the
world we live in. Dozens of activities in this book will captivate
children of all ages and take them on a journey through a
magical world of creativity and self-fulfillment. The projects
here help young readers discover nature s gifts, encourage
exploration of what lies outside one s doorstep, and
emphasize the importance of ecological harmony as vital to
living a happier life. Children and their parents will return again
and again to this colorful and entertaining tribute to an artist
whose legacy offers hope and inspiration for all of us.

Customer Reviews

Great for teachers, parents and art lovers
This book is presented in a child-friendly but never condescending manner, and it's filled with creative ideas for projects. Young artists, teachers and parents can all enjoy learning about Hundertwasser, his art and architecture style, and his passionate enthusiasm for the environment. I only wish I had been introduced to this inspirational artist as a child with such a book.

hundertwasser for kids
wonderful and imaginative book, full of delightful history and story making.
a reason to be silly with kids, to provide for a creative dream of adulthood.
