The Wall
The Joy of the World of Magical Spaces
A curious child follows a wall and finds a small window. The child looks inside and finds himself looking out. The closer the child gets to the wall, the further away he gets. When he enters a door, he finds himself outside. The child takes a right turn, but he's somehow going to the left. Why?
Wall explores interesting spaces that look different depending on the reader's perspective. Children who read this book will be able to follow each scene and draw spaces in their minds. They will learn different senses and concepts of space while changing locations and directions and exploring imaginative spaces. By observing the illustrations, noticing changes, and drawing the images in their heads, children will be able to improve spatial perception using their powers of observation, discrimination, memory, and imagination.
A Magical Illustrated Book Offering a New View of the World
Wall delves into contrasting concepts, such as inside and outside, left and right, and small and large. These concepts are conveyed clearly and easily. This amazing illustrated book allows readers to realize that an image can be interpreted differently depending on the perspective. By changing the perspective, we can see aspects that were previously unseen. As a result, we can gain new perspectives in the way we think. This illustrated book will make the world look new for a richer and happier life.
Sensible Beauty from Lines and Colors
Jin-ho Jung, the author, conveys three-dimensional spaces on two-dimensional paper through ingenious and sophisticated image composition. Straight and curved lines express spaces, and yellow and blue express position changes for outstanding aesthetic value. The three-dimensional spaces conveyed in this illustrated book will prompt readers to envision three-dimensional worlds in their minds. The concept of a charming protagonist moving along a hard, cold wall is an interesting one that no reader will be able to easily pass up.
