Bab El Fenn

Bab El Fenn invites readers to step into art, and then to recognise themselves in it. Each title opens a door onto a specific art form: a sculpture, a painting, a riad, a traditional craft, or an artist’s studio. You discover a work of art, and the urge to create your own follows: your own sculpture, your own character. Depending on the book, you enter through an adventure, a tale or a riddle, through the portrait of a painter or sculptor, or through an activity book that teaches you, step by step, how to draw a character before inventing your own. Whichever way in, emotion comes first, then the desire to create.
Because everyone carries an artist inside who is waiting for the green light, this collection explains art, teaches you to look closely, and makes you want to create.
For children, for parents and teachers who want to explore art with them, and for anyone who wants to rediscover it.
