Mini Photographers: 20 Projects Inspired by the Great Photographers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780500660461)

Since its invention in the nineteenth century, artists have used photography to look at the world in a different light. In this fun and practical craft book, children will discover new ways to express their creativity using a camera.

Photography is arguably the most accessible art form in the world, and in the contemporary world, almost everyone carries a camera in their pocket. Mini Photographers features twenty easy art projects that can be completed either with a phone camera or a traditional one.

The book is unique among photography books in that it is accessible for children as young as three years old and combines both art history and art activities.

Each project is inspired by photographers past and present. Children will have fun experimenting with simple cyanotypes in the style of Anna Atkins, making stop-motion pictures after Eadweard Muybridge, and staging iconic jump shots like Philippe Halsman.

Featuring street photography, selfies, fashion photography, studio portraits, documentary, and still-life photography, Mini Photographers has something for everyone. The book includes technical tips at the beginning of the book, and additional tips and "Try this!" suggestions throughout the book that extend every activity.
