I Am an Artist by Doro Globus
A follow-up book to the popular Making a Great Exhibition, I Am an Artist offers young readers exciting insights into the many ways artists work and the reasons they make art.
Geared to children ages 4 to 8, but with appeal for all ages, this colorful and playful book asks: Who are artists? Why do they make art? What materials do they use? What tools do they work with? What forms do their artworks take?
Structured as a tour of an artists studio complex, readers are introduced to street artists, ceramicists, conceptual artists, textile artists, photographers, glassblowers, and more! Each artist shares their working space and their techniques while explaining why they make art.
Blake and Globuss first publication, Making a Great Exhibition, published in 2021, was acclaimed by The New York Times for demystifying the art world and making it accessible to budding young artists, and lauded by renowned author and illustrator Oliver Jeffers, who wrote, If this book helps shed light to just one kid that [art] is a viable career option, then it has done its job, as art is indescribably important!
Now Rose and Doro have teamed up for a second time to bring their experiences with and love for the often mysterious world of art to a young audience.
