Picasso

Young artists become filmmakers in this cutting-edge coloring book that brings Picasso's world to life.

In this wholly original coloring book, children's artwork can be turned into entertaining videos to play on a tablet or smartphone. Each page of this book features an aspect of Picasso's art and life: from his studio--complete with rocking chair, paintbrushes, and dog--to the works themselves, including paintings, sculptures, and sketches. As the pages are colored, they can be uploaded to a smartphone or tablet and, with the use of a free app, turned into a fully-fledged work of animated video, complete with movement, narration, and music. Containing sixteen pages that can be turned into eight twenty-second videos, this book teaches children about Picasso's life and art through the work they create as well as the brief text introductions to each section. A satisfying blend of art and technology, this unique coloring book will help kids feel the joy of creativity, explore new technology, and let their imagination soar.CLAIRE FAY is the founder of Editions Animées, a publishing start-up that creates digital technology to enhance our relationship with the traditional book.
