4 Luigina De Grandis’s study of the theory and use of color, ‘‘Theory -- Use of Colors’’ (Abrams/Preulice Hall: $24.95) is primarily of value and interest to artists, but i am. assured that biologists and physicists would find the text of con- siderable value also, _ by Andrea Deakin Terrace Book Reviewer The writer covers a wide range of interrelated sub- jects — analyzing color, the theory of color equilibrium. She intends the book to be a working manual, a handbook, ‘‘not a Bible’’, hoping that the young.ar- tists will be encouraged by it to try out various sug- gestions for themselves and experiment creatively with color. ‘“The purpose of this book is not to create artists, but simply provide those who wish to be ar- tists, with the indispensible tools of their trade.”’ The professional artists I asked to look through the book with me were enthusiastic about the text. As a laywoman, reading it for interest, I found myself caught up in the desire to seize brushes and experi- ment with color too. I certainly learned a con- siderable amount about the psychological and physiological effect of color, and J am sure it deepen- ed my appreciation of the work of artists I had taken for granted before.

We are aware of the problem of high illiteracy levels in our society and there are countless sugges- tions for improving standards, and suggestions as to how schools can deal with the problem. * We have to realize that 50 percent of the intellec-. tual development a child will make is made by the age of four. What we do not give them before they ever reach school will be hard to make up. It is how they are stimulated and encouraged before they ever get to school which will, in most cases, decide how well they do at school. We must always remember it is the quality of time - spent with children, not the quantity, that is the most important factor. It was interesting to see the report from the conference on reading discussed on televi- sion recently. It had been concluded that children read better when they are reading interesting books.

TRIVIA Terrace Review — Wednesday, July 23, 1986 17 Gruff and The Three Little Pigs ~— back to the thir- ties, Susan Striker is an artist and a teacher, creator of the Anti Coloring Book Series. In ‘“‘Peace Touch’’ (Simon and Schuster/Géneral: $14.95) she tackles the subject of how to stimulate your child's creative development through music, movement, art and play. It is not necessary to try and teach the exact skills which will be taught later at school, what you are trying to do is open the. child’s mind to ex- periences of different kinds with color, texture and so on. She explains all the creative stages a child will pass through in the early years, and offers a wide range of tested activities for each age which will stimulate a young child's natural creativity and curiosity. The book includes advice on choosing a play school, ad- vice on toys, chants, songs and games, recipes for ‘safe modelling clay — like peanut butter clay, creative and edible. It is not her intent to produce ar- tists, musicians and actors. If a child has these special gifts they will show themselves, but through creative activities the potential creativity of each child is stimulated. Engineers, physicists, mathematicians, lawyers and doctors, carpenters, electricians and businessmen, all trades and professions are better conducted by those capable of creative thinking and problem solving. This is an exceedingly valuable add- - ition to the available materials and I highly recom- mend it. | At Heritage Park | Everett and Ethel Dix ‘Historic Kalum _sfrom Florida, USA, as a a Short Battle The Battle of San Jacinto, in which Texas gained independence from Mexico, lasted only 20 min- - ules, says National Geographic... --.
