Abbey Home Media Introduce
Artyfacts, An Innovative Series of Art and Craft Books
- With a Difference!
February 2nd 2003
Abbey Home Media Group Plc, the leading children's
broadcast, video, licensing, production, sales and marketing
company is now also involved in children's book publishing
and are delighted to announce the recent launch of one
of their first, fresh, educationally-based publication
series, ARTYFACTS, a novel approach that allows
children to observe the many aspects of art around them
through the wonders of the scientific world.
Aimed at the 6 - 9 year age group, Artyfacts is
available now as a 12 volume paperback series covering
a wide range of key science topics, from the ever popular
world of creepy-crawlies to new and exciting modern technologies,
space travel, weather, the fascinations of the human body
plus much more.
Competitively priced at just £4.99, each title in the
series features not only an informative fact section but
also step-by-step instructions for exciting art and model-making
activities on every single page, bringing science to life
and encouraging children to express their ideas about
the core aspects of science through creative thinking.
Artyfacts is key-stage 2 curriculum-linked and
explores a variety of key learning concepts. PSE is represented
in this series as children acquire knowledge and understanding
of the world by carrying out the physical model-making
activities. Language and literacy are encouraged via the
act of reading about the scientific and environmental
issues and relating to the instructions required to represent
these in model form. Artyfacts also develops fundamental
English, Mathematical and Scientific intelligence through
the core concept of creating science through art. Additionally,
each topic includes starting points that can be developed
into areas for discussion, questions answered through
investigation, and the associated vocabulary.
An ideal resource for homework and project work, Artyfacts
is fun, exciting and unique - guaranteed to both challenge
and appeal to children. It teaches the concept of sharing
work with others and encourages children to take pride
in the activities completed.
