內容簡介

歡迎光臨「形狀博物館」!以設計的初心,看見幾何之美

繼獲獎繪本A Million Dots後,德國繪本家Sven Wolker再次巧手一變,帶你一起墜入幾何與立體圖形的奇想世界!

 

阿爾瑪是一間博物館的館長,不過這間博物館有點奇妙,專門收藏各式各樣的「形狀」。每天博物館都會收到各式各樣的形狀,讓阿爾瑪有點快忙不過來了!

或許你能幫阿爾瑪一個忙,一起來幫她將形狀分類,最簡單的形狀是一個點,三個點就能構成一個形狀。從三角形、四邊形、五角形...到三角錐、四角椎、圓錐,原來只要翻轉、重組加上一點不同角度,形狀就能有千變萬化的樣貌,而這些形狀也在所有平面設計中最基本的美學元素。

繪本家Sven Wolker的A Million Dots榮獲2019年《紐約時報》/紐約公共圖書館最佳兒童繪本獎,透過100萬顆點點,將令人無法想像的數字圖像化,讓一杯蘇打水、一方游泳池或是一堆沙泥與一陣充滿粒子的濃煙變成數字,同時也讓孩子理解基礎的數學概念。最新作The Museum of Shapes則用各種幾何圖案來說故事,以單色塊和簡單的線條,結合字體排印(typography),來說明圖形和立體的概念與構成,充滿當代設計的美感與理念。

Sven Wolker畢業於布萊梅藝術大學,並於倫敦米道賽克斯大學取得碩士,曾在多所藝術學院任教,目前則在波茨坦應用科技大學的平面設計「實驗與政策」領域擔任教授。他擅長運用視覺語言,將圖形、符號、色彩等元素遊戲化,同時延伸至繪本創作、當代藝術與商業合作,他曾為鈴木汽車設計系列形象廣告,也曾與美國知名音樂人史汀合作出版第一本繪本(由史汀的歌詞啟發)。他也將平面設計的初心用於繪本,以多元變換的幾何圖形為基礎,創造屬於自己的獨特風格。

★閱讀亮點:

■認識各種形狀和立體圖的說法,原來這些單字要這樣說!

■你可以用形狀拼湊出各種圖像嗎?一起來思考形狀、顏色和線條的各種可能

Learn all about the shapes that make up our world while you help Alma to curate her new exhibition! From New York Times award-winning author/illustrator Sven Volker.

 

Welcome to the Museum of Shapes. Alma is the curator of the museum and she decides which shapes should go where. 

Triangles have three sides and three angles. Can you help Alma find all the triangles on the shelves? Alma’s favourite shape is a circle. All the points on the edge of a circle are the same distance from its centre. Not all shapes are geometric; some lines are wiggly and messy. Can you make a wiggly line with your body? 

This is an engaging, informative book about the shapes that make up our world. Gorgeous, minimalist illustrations complement the narrative framework, offering a light, playful introduction to mathematical concepts for the youngest of readers. Delightful, interactive prompts encourage active engagement with the story, helping adults and their children to open a dialogue about maths and the beauty of geometry.
