What do you think ART is? Is it pictures on the walls of a gallery? And what about an ARTIST? Someone holding a paintbrush, standing in front of an easel? Yes to both, but art and artists are so much more than that!

I’m on a mission to show everyone how art can be found in so many different places, and created by so many different people. So, whether you sing, draw, write, dance, paint, act, play a instrument or tell jokes, OR if you are just wanting to find out how to discover what kind of artist you want to be – this book is for you! An inspiring, friendly guide to art and why it matters. Meet the incredible people making art of all kinds and follow the tips to make your own art!
