What is an artist? Sometimes John finds art easy, sometimes it's hard, sometimes art is like a game, but sometimes it's a puzzle. This book takes us through the many ups and downs of John's life as an artist whilst also showing the fun that can be had with many different artforms, including drawing, sculpture, painting, photography and many more. Being an artist is about being brave, frustrated and disappointed. But it's also about being creative, imaginative, excited and fulfilled - which makes it a wonderful thing for all children to say with confidence ... 'I am an ARTIST!'
