Is That A Picasso On Your Fridge by Dan Consiglio
About The Book:
Kids create them. Parents submit them. An art critic reviews them. And don’t think for one second he doesn’t know exactly what he’s talking about! With characteristically overblown, egotistical, WTF critiques, this book hilariously deconstructs works of children’s art as if they were the newest installations at a modern art museum. Age can’t constrain greatness. Mozart composed at five. Picasso was painting at seven. If one doubts that young children reveal signs of genius every time they touch crayon to paper, just ask any parent about the artwork on their refrigerator door. But regular people don’t understand “art,” so it is impossible for them to see the difference between the work of an idiot savant and a kid who's just an idiot. In this book with its 60 color images of real kids’ artwork, New York art critic Dan Consiglio separates the wheat from the chaff in the field of children’s art.
My Thoughts:
This is a comedy book, so people should not take it too seriously. But it is fun to read, and to look at all the works of art that different kids have made. Callan got a hold of this book, and he said "Mama, can I take this to school to tell Miss Michelle what pictures we should draw?" Um....no. It is a really cute gift book, maybe for new parents, or that one mom in your social group who thinks her kids is "It".
About The Author:
Dan Consiglio writes for a living and a hobby. By day, he creates commercials, print ad, Web sites, and more for brands large and small. Outside of work, Dan has written and directed a feature-length film, which received nice acclaim. But mainly Dan is a dad. And as a storyteller, Dan loves to share the hilarious highs and lows of parenthood to any and all who will listen. But seriously, he's not that annoying.
