اما هریک از ما دنیا را یک‌جور می‌بینیم.... هععععی

یاد خودم و خواهرم و دخترخاله هام افتادم که وقتی باهم بودیم همه چیزو قاطی پاتی میکردیم تا مثلا طعم و عطر جدید اختراع کنیم و جوری آشپزخونه و انباری رو بهم میریختیم که بعدش هیچی سرجاش نبود. مامانای ما که خیلی عصبانی میشدن و اصلا به این کار نمیخندیدن، امیدوارم مامان پسر کوچولوی قصه هم وقتی بیدار شد مرتکب قتل نشه.

A very funny story about how one boys interpretation of art causes havoc for his mother. Does introduces key themes in art, such as 'movement', 'texture'.

[Busy Mummy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cute and funny. I would hope to never wake up to the masterpiece at the end of this story in my home. Don’t want to give my sons any ideas hahaha.

A fab book that shows children anyone can be an artist

[Guiomar · Rating 4 out of 5]

Es divertido… aunque no sé si estará dando ideas demasiado creativas para el mundo real a los pequeños lectores 😉

[Rowan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Super mooie en grappige illustraties en het verhaal is lief en tenenkrommend (voor voorlezende moeders) tegelijk

[Fiona Hill · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book shares with children the many different forms of art, from nature and colours to movement, textures and shapes. It also shows children that an idea can come from anything that inspires them, whether that be a carrot on their plate or a cracked mirror on the wall. The story itself is very comical as Mum does not always appreciate everywhere her son creates his art. Great book!

Cute, but what a nightmare for the poor mother.

Een zeer positief en hilarisch boek, een beetje stout maar wel leuk zowel voor peuters maar ook voor kleuters. Als volwassene zet het je ook wel een beetje aan het denken over wat kunst is.

[Iqra Fiaz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a wonderfully humorous picturebook! It is about a young boy who cannot stop finding inspiration to create beautiful pieces of art.
Each illustration has intricate details you notice when you read through; with your eyes focusing on something new each time. There is so much on each page to keep children engaged, and with the humour, it is guaranteed to get some chuckles.
I would share this book with Key Stage 1 Children and can be used to explore other forms of inspirations for creating art work.
A great book!

Bij het hilarische boek Ik ben een kunstenaar, waarin een jongetje zijn moeder steeds 'verrast' met kunstwerken, heeft Marta Altés ook dit boek gemaakt zodat jij ook je eigen kunst kunt creëren. Het jonge kunstenaartje helpt je daarbij. Want zo zegt hij: "Ik heb talent EN ik ben edelmoedig.'

De kleine kunstenaar stelt o.a. zelfs zijn eigen huis beschikbaar, je ziet zijn grote lege huis afgebeeld, en jij mag daarin alles bewerken. Jij mag het van hem helemaal versieren met jouw eigen kunst! Maar als je dat nog een beetje te moeilijk vindt kun je ook alle stickers gebruiken die achterin het boek zitten en dat zijn er héél veel.


Het is allemaal zo leuk gedaan. Al vanaf de eerste bladzijde begint het te kriebelen en wil je zelf aan de slag. De kleine Picasso vertelt alles op een prettige, korte en bondige manier zodat je gelijk snapt wat hij bedoelt. Soms zou je willen dat je zelf nog kind was en dit boek cadeau kreeg.

With the most exquisite final double-page spread that had me both gasp and laugh out loud, Altés celebration of one boy's talent and adoration for painting and creativity is as funny as it is painful (if you're a parent). Our protagonist, who opens the story by deftly penciling himself a Dali-esque moustache, explains how he adores art in all forms. What he finds difficult though, is that his mother doesn't see the world in the same way he does.
A beautiful and impeccably humorous account of one boy's passion and one parent's slow decent into a loss of sanity and she tries to manage it, this is a wonderful, incredibly well-mastered picturebook which does all the things I want it to do. It is an ode to vibrancy and spontaneity of art but also to the tolerance and patience of those parents who support their child's passions.

[Sue Read · Rating 4 out of 5]

Poor Mum's idea of art is to be well made-up, and then ready for the day - an organised, clean and managed day. Her son's days, however, are filled by creating; drawing, painting, making and constructing. 'Everywhere I look I see art', he says and that's because everywhere you look there is art.
This book is truly an inspiration and appreciation for art; reasons to do it, love it and know about it. I love the hint at role reversal between the Mum and boy, he wonders at one point if he hasn't given his Mum enough attention because she reacts so strangely to his latest project! He decides to pull out all the stops and create an amazing piece of art for her...transforming the house while she sleeps. The last page is unbelievable, he certainly surpasses himself and Mum will surely be left … in pieces!

I love the way kids create something new and see it as an incredible thing. In their eyes, all the things they make are special and pretty. I hope I could look with my kids, see what they see, and let them create on their own.

مناسب والدین و مربیانه بیشتر :) به‌نظرم می‌رسه بچه‌ها بیشتر از اینکه پیامش رو بگیرن به فکر تقلید کردن از شخصیت میفتن و احتمالا دردسرساز بشه.

Tell Me Framework (4 sentences in your own words):

Consideration of Instructional Application (3-4 sentences in your own words):
This book would be great to read to students right before an art project. The little boy in the story expresses that anything can become art. I would hope that this book encourages students not be afraid to get a little bit messy during art class or projects.

[Daniela Iñigo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Considero que este cuento es más dirigido a los padres. Porque siempre es muy fácil decir que los niños son muy inquietos, traviesos o que joden mucho; pero realmente los jodidos somos nosotros por no ver más allá de nuestra pequeña perspectiva.

Ya lo he dicho en varias reseñas que el adulto subestima el raciocinio del niño, desde el momento en que se niega a mirar esos pequeños universos que el niño crea desde su imaginación, desde que se niega a escuchar sus relatos “sin sentido”, desde que se niega a jugar con él. La infancia es la etapa donde podemos recurrir a toda fuente de creatividad, de valores, de solución de problemas, por lo que NO debemos de negarles crecer con ese derecho, y este libro es una prueba de ello.

La mamá se vuelve loca porque su hijo se inspira con todo lo que hay en casa para hacer arte, aquel arte que sólo él entiende y disfruta, porque donde los niños ven aventuras, los adultos vemos desastre. Por eso de adultos no podemos resolver nuestros propios problemas.

Léanlo cuantas veces sea necesario, o todas las veces que crean que un niño los saca de quicio.

I've done a few virtual readings of this book to grades 1 to 3. I always tell kids to be curious about the world around them, listen, and ask questions. This book does a really good job of showing how two people can look at the same thing and yet see something entirely different. (I'm not talking about the colour of a dress on Facebook). The artist in this story clearly sees many things differently and explores the world through a different lens.

The kids and I also talk about how this young artist doesn't need a paint brush, or paint for that matter. His canvas and tools are everywhere. Another little nugget that I draw from this book—I regularly read to kids in a school where trauma is prevalent. We use this book to discuss emotions and how we can use our "downstairs brains" to calm our "upstairs brains."

Much like 'The Dot', this book promotes the idea of a creative curriculum and the ethos that every child is an artist. Children would be invited to plan and create their own pieces of art using any kind of material, colours, style, texture and shape. These would be displayed in a class exhibition titled 'I am an Artist', complete with cards underneath written by the artists to explain their artwork and its title. It would show the class how much both the teacher and their grown ups, value their creative talents and abilities; showcasing their artistic possibilities.

I like how the concept of Art is shown to be whatever you want it to be, for example the differences between the Mum and her makeup 'art' and the child's perspective of placing colourful plants in the fridge!

[Cheeky Readers · Rating 5 out of 5]

When creativity strikes, a child can turn anything into an artwork and every surface becomes a canvas. What I see as a pile of mess is a spaceship to my kids. This book captures the creative thinking of a young kid and how he expresses this at home. As a parent, you might have encountered some of these "works of art". Crossing fingers, not all of them! This book is fun to read with young children who are in the midst of their creative explosion. Simple texts with quirky illustrations, Marta Alte, author and illustrator, celebrates the artist in every child.

[Ella · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lovely book that not only promotes art but also shows that there are many different forms of art and each person can find what they like best. The little boy in the story has a very different idea of art to his mum which doesn't always please her. The end pages are funny and I can image children would enjoy them. I think this would be a nice book to read to KS1 children before an art unit allowing them to think about and then explore different mediums for using in art and what they can create with these different processes.

این کتاب خیلی قشنگ نشون داده بود بچه ها به هر چیزی از دید خودشون نگاه میکنن و توی دنیا و عوالم خودشون خوشحال و خوشبخت هستن،
ولی تفاوت دیدگاه ما با بچه هامون، هم برای خودمون اذیت کننده ست و هم باعث میشه نذاریم بچه ها اونطور که باید، بچگیشونو بکنن!

یکی از دلایلی که من شروع کردم به خوندن کتاب کودک و به بقیه هم پیشنهاد کردم و میکنم که کتاب کودک بخونن، همین درک بهتر و بیشتر بچه ها و دنیاشون بود، هر چند هر چقدر هم تلاش کنیم تهش گاهی اوقات با دسته گلهایی که بچه ها به آب میدن و رو مخ رفتناشون، خیلی سخته که نزنیم تو گوششون D:

This book about a little artist with a big personality and a mom who just doesn’t get his art is such a hilarious read.

“I am SO talented, I just can’t help it.
EVERYTHING inspires me!”

Maybe his mom will understand if he makes an AMAZING piece of art, just for her.

Um livro muito espirituoso sobre um rapazito cujo ideal de arte choca brutalmente com a opinião da mãe. Excelente para trabalhar temas relacionados com a arte e a criatividade. lustrações 5 estrelas. Adorei!
