You Are an Artist

Meer over het boek

This book offers over 50 assignments, ideas, and prompts designed to inspire creativity and help you produce exceptional new works. Curator Sarah Urist Green ventured beyond her art museum office to engage with a diverse array of artists, gathering prompts that reflect their unique approaches to art-making. The journey encourages you to invent imaginary friends, organize books, declare a cause, construct landscapes, discover your musical identity, and explore new personas. Your task is to interpret these assignments through your own experiences, creating art that resonates with your perspective. No prior drawing skills or knowledge of painting techniques are necessary; this book is accessible to anyone interested in making art. You only need materials you already have or can easily obtain for free. Filled with insights, techniques, and inspiration drawn from art history, it demystifies the creative processes of established artists and empowers you to embrace your identity as an artist. Featuring contributions from innovative creators like Sonya Clark, Michelle Grabner, The Guerrilla Girls, and many others, this collection invites you to explore your artistic potential.
