art history with practical activities on the page. It asks the reader to imagine their
eccentric-artist alter-ego before working through six key topics: painting, sculpture,
illustration, decorative art, photography and contemporary art. Each spread centres
on a different technique for producing a piece of art, and relates the activity back to
a famous artist or movement in a light-hearted and playful tone. Activities include
making a Bruegel circus, playing a Surrealist game, selling a scribble for a million
pounds and painting your face like a Russian Futurist. A section of paper-based crafts
at the end of the book includes a kit to build a camera obscura.
