WHAT INSPIRED YOUR NEW BOOK, YOU ARE AN ARTIST?
Travelling widely, meeting artists, and wanting to spread the word that there are so very many ways to make art and be an artist.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM THE BOOK?
A wide variety of prompts for making art with easily-found materials, all devised by working artists. You’ll gain a window into so many different ways of working, along with tips and inspiration from art history.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE BOOK?
I am particularly fond of Julie Green’s assignment, which asks you to summon a memory of a meal and paint it onto a paper plate.
WHY DO YOU LIKE READERS TO SHARE THEIR ART?
