Luke's Way of Looking, Authors: Nadia Wheatley and Matt Ottley

We have been reading Luke's Way of Looking for our shared book, a book about a boy who has a passion for art and discovers there are actually people just like him in the World. 




Our views:


Jennifer: I thought the artwork was creative, I especially liked the way some of the pictures were based on famous artists.

Shelley: At the beginning the pictures had no colour, as the story went on, the pictures got brighter and brighter as Luke got happier.

Somi: I liked how I learnt about famous artist's different styles. It told us not to give up on our dreams and to follow them.

Kuini-Marnie: I found the book to be inspiring because Luke used his imagination and that taught me to follow in his footprints. It also showed us, that we should never give up.

Adam: The book was creative because it showed me everyone has different passions for different things and that's ok.

Bailey: I found the book interesting because I found there were many different artists in the world.

  The art work in the story is inspired by famous artists like Picaso and J Pollock. We decided to have a go ourselves.
