The Art of Eric Carle (World of Eric Carle)

Description:

Carle is one of the most beloved illustrators of children's books. This retrospective is more than just an appreciation of his art, however. The book also contains an insightful autobiography illustrated with personal photographs, an anecdotal essay by his longtime editor, a photographic essay on how Carle creates his collages, and writings by Carle and his colleagues. Still, it is the artwork in the oversize volume that seizes the imagination. More than 60 of his full-color collage pictures are handsomely reproduced and serve as a statement of Carle's impressive talent.

I purchased this as a gift to an adult friend who enjoys Eric Carle's work. The book is lovely. It shares information about the artist as well as so many examples of his work. Eric Carle was far more than an author and illustrator of children's books, as I came to appreciate by making this purchase. (My grandchildren also LOVE his beautiful books, which are delightful visually and also written perfectly for their young imaginations!) I'm certain this gift will be very well received.

Before I purchased The Art of Eric Carle, I was acquainted with his books as an advocate for early literacy in the early childhood education field especially The Very Hungry Caterpillar. As an educator and life-long learner, I wanted to know the motivation and art expertise behind the colorful images dispalyed on each page of his published works. Eric Carle tells his story starting with his discovery of living creatures while exploring with his dad and than creating what he saw onto paper. He was encouraged as teachers recognized his art ability at an early age. He never forgot the kind words and the sacrifice of mentors who shaped his world even during the harsh years spent in Germany during World War II. He revisits the happiness of his early childhood and frames his story and pictures with positive messages and beautiful illustrations that have endured over forty years. The Art of Eric Carle gives parents and educators insights into the hands-on process in creating his artworks but most rewarding is his love, respect and understanding of young children around the world.

I bought this book for my collection of art books for children. I also bought this book for me. I wanted to know how Eric Carle created such amazing illustrations. You can read this book and then experiement with children to make some incredibly fun art. It is a very unique way of producing art and the children can produce amazing "child-produced" masterpieces. I highly recommend this book for teachers, especially. Your students will benefit from your knowledge of Eric Carle's secrets to success and the children will love to look at the pictures in this book!

The Art of Eric Carle is a wonderful book about the art of children's book illustration. It gives great biographical information on Eric Carle, one of the most beloved of children's book artists, and insight into achieving greatness in creating children's picture storybooks. For teachers of children's literature or potential authors of children's books, this is an indispensable volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eric Carle Rocks!

J.P.G. · October 17, 2008

For those of you who love Eric Carle, his art and stories, this book is a must have. A "coffee table" book that allows you to enjoy and cherish the work of this very creative artist and author. Only thing better would be to have one of his original drawings! Reading Eric Carle with my sons when they were small was definitely one of our favorites things of the day.

I bought this for my boyfriend who has a very tender spot in his heart for Eric Carle. He was so excited to get this book and to read about the man and his process. It has a great selection of EC's artwork and action shots.

The vivid colors. The techniques. Eric Carle's talent brings a combination of beauty and imagination to all his work in this book and others.

Libro ben fatto!

P. · August 26, 2013

Libro ben fatto che tratta di Eric Carle in modo completo ad un costo contenuto.Purtroppo esiste soltanto in lingua inglese per cui se non si ha dimestichezza con questa lingua se ne può avere soltanto un approccio superficiale.Lo consiglio a chi come me ritiene Eric Carle "un genio"!Paola
