Description
What is art, where do I find it, and once I’m in front of it, what am I supposed to think about it? Kate Bryan is a self-confessed art addict who has worked with art for over twenty years. But before she studied art history at university, she’d visited a gallery just twice in her life and had no idea she was entering an elitist world. Now, she’s on a mission to help everybody come to art.
Like playing or listening to music, cooking and eating great food, reading or watching films, or making art and looking at other people's work, art deserves to be an enriching part of all our lives. How to Art provides a nifty way to ingest art on your own terms. From where it is and what it is, to tips on how to actually enjoy famous artworks like the Mona Lisa; from how to own art and make art at home to vital advice for making a career as an artist, even how to make your dog more cultured, How to Art gives art to everyone—and makes it fun. Laced throughout with original artworks by the very down-to-earth artist David Shrigley.
A funny, inviting, full-color book about art for people who don’t know about “art”—featuring new artworks by David Shrigley.
