GENRE: Non-Fiction - Craft
HONORS: none
REVIEW: The Guerilla Art Kit is a carry along reference guide about how to anonymously spread one's message in the world. The spiral bound book begins by stating the value of impermanence because "nothing is life is permanent" and it challenges creators to embraces changes and to become excited about the possibilities how a message has spread in the community. The book provides instructions on how to make homemade stickers, write anonymous love letters, create knitted tags (I have seen these beautiful markers up and around San Jose!), and even organize a scavenger hunt. The book encourages young people to use these crafts to 'beautify', and not cause damage in their neighborhoods, as well as be undercover advocates that challenge ideas and interact freely with the environment.
OPINION: This is another book that expresses a DIY attitude and it will appeal to young people who are bursting with ideas and are looking for a way to express them. This book provides a cleaner alternative to spreading a message without defacing property.
IDEAS: A reference book for a scavenger hunt or teen craft program.
