"There are more than 50 creative prompts for the artist (or artist
at heart) to explore. Take the title of this book as affirmation,
and get started." -Fast Company More than 50 assignments, ideas,
and prompts to expand your world and help you make outstanding new
things to put into it Curator Sarah Urist Green left her office in
the basement of an art museum to travel and visit a diverse range
of artists, asking them to share prompts that relate to their own
ways of working. The result is You Are an Artist, a journey of
creation through which you'll invent imaginary friends, sort books,
declare a cause, construct a landscape, find your band, and become
someone else (or at least try). Your challenge is to filter these
assignments through the lens of your own experience and make art
that reflects the world as you see it. 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. You Are an Artist brings together more than 50
assignments gathered from some of the most innovative creators
working today, including Sonya Clark, Michelle Grabner, The
Guerrilla Girls, Fritz Haeg, Pablo Helguera, Nina Katchadourian,
Toyin Ojih Odutola, J. Morgan Puett, Dread Scott, Alec Soth,
Gillian Wearing, and many others.
Acrylic is the second book in the popular 'Do More Art' series,
which explores the myriad creative possibilities of working with
acrylic. Fans of this artistic powerhouse will discover everything
from basic painting techniques to more creative applications, such
as pouring, marbling and working with acrylic spray paint and
markers. Examples by some of the world's greatest contemporary
artists will demonstrate many of the techniques and ideas,
providing plenty of creative inspiration. With its contemporary
aesthetic and accessible content, Acrylic will appeal to artists of
all abilities.
