摘要
In this unique craft book, outdoor enthusiast and former teacher Ellen B. Senisi encourages children to create art with colored objects found in nature. In alternating spreads, she shows the beauty of each color, its special significance to the plant and animal world, and related crafts. Kids can put away their store-bought supplies-here are more than a dozen projects, all made with plants, fruits, and other natural objects that they can find in yards, parks, gardens, or the grocery store. Children will discover that green leaves make printed patterns, spinach can be simmered into ink, certain flowers and berries work like paint, and more. Nature inspires so much of art. In this book it provides the materials, too. For young artists, this is a new, intimate way to think about color and its essential role in nature and art.

Gr 3-5-Although this book will likely find its home in craft sections, it is so much more than a project book. Initially, readers are invited to think about color in nature and the way it has been used by humans throughout history. The next few chapters each deal with a specific color and begin with a dramatic, full-page photo of objects or scenes that exemplify the featured hue. The facing page has smaller, but no less attractive photos, many of which show children of various ethnic backgrounds. The text discusses each color's traditional symbolism, its role in nature, and the type of mood it creates, and offers directions for two activities that utilize natural dyes made from berries, flowers, fruits, and vegetables, or other products available from the grocery store, garden, or field. The step-by-step, illustrated crafts encourage children to try many different types of media and techniques including dried flowers, leaves, yarn, drawing, tie-dying, printmaking, weaving, and collage. A separate section lists plants that yield dyes of various colors and includes directions for producing them. Some steps involve a stove or knife, and children are advised to seek adult help. Two final sections describe the use of dyes in various cultures and the nature of color itself. This is, indeed, a unique book.-Lynda Ritterman, Atco Elementary School, Waterford, NJ (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

This short, text-heavy book packs in a lot of information about color, including an explanation of the color wheel, the way that light interacts with pigment, the emotional effect that various colors have on people, and formulas for making natural dyes. Senisi describes ten common colors and provides directions for craft projects using dyes as well as leaves and flowers. Bright color photos punch up the presentation. Bib.

A dozen nature craft projects are displayed in vivid, color photographs, as the author/photographer of Hooray for Pre-K (2000) here explores finding and making colors from nature. Introducing each color, she attempts to explain where it is found, its function in nature, and how it affects us. For example, "Red is an attention getting color . . . Red flowers, berries, and fruits seem to say, Look at me!' " She explains that the red apple or other fruit is eaten by animals who carry its seeds away to grow more trees. This explanation is somewhat limited, as it does not explain why some birds, beetles, and frogs are red. Surely not to encourage others to eat them! She notes that the color red is associated with emergencies, love, and anger. Following the introduction, she shows two crafts using red pigment: "berry smudges" (painting with red berries), and making potato-print wrapping paper with red dye made from cabbage leaves. She gives a list of materials, step-by-step directions, a warning when adult assistance is needed, and provides several photographs of young children creating projects. She also includes directions for making dyes from natural materials using heat, soaking, or "straight" methods. She offers a slim history of color used in dyeing faces and fabrics and more about the science of color, concluding with a brief bibliography. Though children will enjoy the striking full-color photographs of plants in nature, the text and project directions are more appropriate for a parent or teacher than the young crafters shown in the photos. Where additional craft titles are wanted, this is an attractive supplemental purchase. (Nonfiction. 9-11)
《书目》(Booklist)书评
Gr. 4known for photo-illustrated titles such as Just Kids: Visiting a Class for Children with Special Needs (1998), turns her camera on nature's colors in this crafts book. Full-color spreads with lovely photographs showing each color as it appears in nature give way to projects using natural dyes in the featured hue. Some of the author's remarks about color symbolism express esoteric opinions as fact: "Black, the color of rocks, means strength and seriousness," for example. Better are the straightforward activities, including printing with potatoes, leaves, and berries; pressing flowers; weaving; and creating collages. Many of the projects require adult assistance; the section on creating dyes is particularly complicated. Most of the required material will be available to urban and rural kids alike. An appended section delves into color composition and encourages children to think further about their own responses to color. An attractive selection for elementary-school art teachers and camp counselors. --Gillian Engberg
