Filled with creative, playful activities, This Book Thinks You're an
Artist asks budding artists to imagine their eccentric- artist alter
ego before working through seven key topics: observation, drawing, color
pattern, design, sculpture, and, crucially, how to steal ideas (Be
inspired! Offend the viewer!). Each spread offers a different
project--everything you need to make your own work of art inspired by a
famous artist or movement in a lighthearted and playful tone. Activities
include making a Bruegel circus, playing a Surrealist game, selling a
scribble for a million dollars, and painting your face like a Russian
Futurist. A section of paper-based crafts at the end of the book even
includes a kit to build a viewfinder and make a mini-manifesto book.
