You Are an Artist: Assignments to Spark Creation

You don't have to know how to draw well, stretch a canvas, or mix a paint color that perfectly matches that of a mountain stream. This book is for anyone who wants to make art, regardless of experience level. The only materials you'll need are what you already have on hand or can source for free. Full of insights, techniques, and inspiration from art history, this book opens up the processes and practices of artists and proves that you, too, have what it takes to call yourself one. It's a lot of fun to meet the different artists, see color photos of their experimental work, and dream up your own next project, using practical, specific assignments.
