Book Synopsis
Immerse yourself in the radical world of one of Britain's greatest painters, John Constable, and make your own Constable-inspired artworks!
Join Hannah Flanagan on a wonderful adventure through the revolutionary landscapes of John Constable, an artist who transformed landscape painting and forever shaped the image of the English countryside in art. Get to know Constable's landscapes and what they meant to him through sketches, collage, and letters. Marvel at the ever-changing sky using a DIY cloud-viewer and create your own expressive cloudscapes, design a mini-sketchbook, experiment with unconventional materials to paint, and play around with scale inspired by Constable's "six-footers." Packed with make-and-dos and creative activities, Meet the Artist: John Constable is perfect for encouraging and inspiring budding young artists.
