INVASION U.S.A. (1985) ★★★☆☆

[diddylittlebookreview]

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Genre: Childrens (or anyone!), Christmas story🎄 💫The Christmasaurus by Tom Fletcher does have very large writing and lots of pictures, everything you would expect from a children's book. However, it also has the most wonderful storyline - a Christmas adventure about a boy and a dinosaur, who are both a little bit different and both in need of a friend. The generic Santa story has been amazingly re-written by Fletcher into something even more magical and lovable (and yummy!) showing some serious imagination. It also features songs, poems and a puzzle or two, which were as difficult for me as for any child but thankfully the protagonist William is a genius. One thing I would say is that this is THE happiest story I think I have ever read; the baddies all miraculously turn sweet and good or meet a predictable sticky end, all problems are resolved and everything ties up neatly, as a children's book should. But, as an adult, if you look past the simplicity, innocence and predictability this is a remarkable story that could be enjoyed by anyone who loves Christmas, regardless of age or gender. There are also some moments in the book which feature themes of hunting and being shot at, which I would say make it unsuitable perhaps for very very small children, but adds a little bit of grit and drama for an older reader. The pictures, by Shane Devries are amazing and very detailed, making it even more fantastic! I would suggest reading it in the run up to Christmas as it is incredibly festive but I think I could probably happily read this book at any time of year. For a child this might take a couple of sittings but for an older reader it doesn't take long. Already there is a stage adaptation in the pipeline for next Christmas, so hurry up and read this and then go and see it! 💫

January Wrap Up 2022

Because of exams I did read only two books...

The Christmasaurus - Tom Fletcher 

Started this book in december but finished it in january... marking this the first book of 2022! It is a cheesy children book about christmas, Santa Claus and dinosaurs. The drawings really added to the story, I might read more books where the author and illustrator (Shane Devries) worked together :)

Goodreads summary:

The Christmasaurus is a story about a boy named William Trundle, and a dinosaur, the Christmasaurus. It's about how they meet one Christmas Eve and have a magical adventure. It's about friendship and families, sleigh bells and Santa, singing elves and flying reindeer, music and magic. It's about discovering your heart's true desire, and learning that the impossible might just be possible.  

The Secret Lives Of Color - Kassia St. Clair

I picked this book up at my internship library because it looked interesting and pretty (like so many books at that library) It explains the meaning and history of many colors and shares a lot of funny anecdotes. Totally an awesome read if you want to know more about colors :)

Goodreads summary:

The Secret Lives of Color tells the unusual stories of seventy-five fascinating shades, dyes, and hues. From blonde to ginger, the brown that changed the way battles were fought to the white that protected against the plague, Picasso's blue period to the charcoal on the cave walls at Lascaux, acid yellow to kelly green, and from scarlet women to imperial purple, these surprising stories run like a bright thread throughout history. In this book, Kassia St. Clair has turned her lifelong obsession with colors and where they come from (whether Van Gogh's chrome yellow sunflowers or punk's fluorescent pink) into a unique study of human civilization. Across fashion and politics, art and war, the secret lives of color tell the vivid story of our culture.

Book Review: "Boy" by Phil Cummings and Shane Devries (@ScholasticAUS @EasternRegional)

Book Review: “Boy” by Phil Cummings and Shane Devries (@ScholasticAUS @EasternRegional)

Boy (Scholastic Press, 2017) by Phil Cummings and Shane Devries It’s often said that reading improves children’s emotional intelligence and increases empathy. It helps kids better understand others, especially those who have different life stories. Reading also helps us better connect with other perspectives and human experiences. It helps improve children’s capacity – and that of adults – to…

Week 1 Offsite Learning

Wed 9th  - Fri 11th September 2020

During my first offsite learning week for college, I completed research and practical work to do with our first term project brief theme ‘Breaking Boundaries’.

My first piece of research was exploring what I personally thought Breaking Boundaries means as well as analysing both words in their own meanings - what they represent, how we seem them come across in our world … e.g. Boundaries are often refer to a physical or mental stopping point that no longer lets you past a certain point whether than maybe in person (Off limits to public area) or mentally where the mind can control you to not achieve a goal, target or leave a dark mindset.  Below is an image of my mind map of my thoughts including what I think the topic could be used as conceptually. 

The next lot of research I completed was of 3 artist’s I personally liked the works of that had used the same theme in their work. They are all induvial different and use different materials and medias in their own style to portray their take on the concept. Jason Sanchez created a medium sized sculpture/ instillation  that was created using materials like Steel, bronze and Aluminium in comparison to Nano Mortis who is a fine art & digital illustrator only using Coloured pens, Watercolours and Photoshop (for retouching colours). Whereas, the final artist Paul Oz used Canvas and oil paints layered up thick to create heavy texture paintings. All 3 artist’s pieces are so different not only in a visual and meaning way but material wise as well which all stand out to me personally. Below are my thoughts on each artists ‘Breaking Boundaries’ pieces. 

My final piece of research was on Book & Illustrator artists who I particularly like the style and work off. Both in their own ways are different, yet still make me feel some sort of magical sense within the way they are designed. Jonny Duddle creates his illustrators in a 2D style yet is able to create a  3D feel to each piece in which he does so with light & shadow not only on the characters faces but on their clothing, any objects or items even down to the details in the background. Shane DeVries creates more of  a realistic 3D look to his works as well as playing with the lighting again like wise with Jonny but, DeVries art defiantly makes me look on it as almost similar to a 3D animation film yet still keeping in an element or two the maintain a “2D drawing style”  Underneath are some extra analysis on their style. 

For a target set by Craig during the week, We needed to photograph any natural objects and forms that we could find, take the photos and draw into our sketchbooks in whatever style we desired. Most of my photographs and drawings are mainly focused on plants and flowers as they appeal to me in a way I find calming to look at but also beautiful even if it is down to a particular petal the has a soft pink ombre effect reminding me of a water colour style which I personally find on of the most stunning styles of art in outcomes.  I souly used fine liners and coloured markers due to the fact that I myself wanted to see how well I could achieve the results in these medias. I would have preferred them to be done with water colour and fine liner but it was a challenge to myself and breaking a boundary for me to step out of my comfort zone. With the materials I photographed/ drew from, I also kept them ready to bring to my first Friday drawing lesson next week with Craig to study from.
