In our final artist video for Kids’ Home Publishing Series One, venerable artist John Wolseley shows us what marvellous fun making an 8-page book can be - you can splosh and dribble, rub paper to make patterns, cut and paste and stick on all different kinds of fragments. Watch John create a story around the life-cycle of a beetle local to his forest studio, using all the techniques which have made him a world famous artist and naturalist. This is a mini masterclass in creativity as play, with a beautiful reading of the finished book by the author.
Remember, the Grand Imaginator has made a video to show you how to fold your own 8-page book, and the other five Kids' Home Publishing guest artist videos will inspire you with different ways to fill your book with words and pictures.
