What Is an Artist?

"What is an Artist" explores different aspects to being an artist on each page. An artist is someone who: expresses an idea, shares feelings, learns about materials, controls composition, is a problem solver, etc. An example of a child artist is included on each page. The book features a variety of visual arts: painting, pottery, sculpture, arts and crafts. This would be a good introductory book to visual arts for the younger grades. It has the potential to inspire children to see themselves as artists. Other books by the same author and illustrator include, "What is a Scientist", What is a Teacher" and "What is an Athlete".
