Children's Book Installation Art


Children's Book Installation by Ethan J. Hicks

Ethan is at it again! Today he lined all of his books upright and open. It created a really interesting look, and I think he will try to do a larger installation down the road. I believe filling whole rooms with books in these and similar positions was how he described it. A way of seeing books quickly and linearly.

Here is a picture of the artist proud of his work and ready to tackle new projects. Thank you Ethan for your inspirational work!

My two are never that organised! I'm always on the hunt for great children's books and have recently discovered Bayard and their series of StoryBoxBooks, AdventureBoxBooks and DiscoveryBoxBooks (which is a special Olympic edition) They have work by acclaimed children's books illustrator Helen Oxenbury appearing in the Storybox series for September. In addition to this, they also have some great activities for rainy days: http://www.storyboxbooks.com/potatoprinting.php, http://www.adventureboxbooks.com/macaroni-picture-frames.php, http://www.discoveryboxbooks.com/skittles.php Enjoy!

Thank you "book" for the site suggestions. They look like fun things I used to do when I was a wee little sprat...!
