A friend let us borrow this book. The concept of a book compiled from the work of students is interesting, especially when the work seems quite creative. However, if you look more carefully at the book, you will see many flaws of this book:
- the art has been "processed". The artwork does not resemble the work of the students in that there are no brush strokes, color pencil streaks or crayon marks.
- the English is atrocious! Granted, maybe the 4-5 year olds do use mixed tenses... but you would think if the owners of the art school bothered to process the artwork they would also spend time correcting the grammar.
- it seems a few of the students had the same idea for their drawings/paintings. Perhaps the students aren't creative but merely copying the teachers' examples.
While it is interesting to see that young children are capable of these artwork, I think selling this book on amazon, for profit, is exploiting the children enrolled in that school. Just another way to advertise the school for free.
