I Am an Artist

“I spend every day thinking about the paintings and sculptures I will be creating, which fills my life with great joy. Art is an important means of identifying human existence and can send a wonderful message to the world. I believe that artists will create a new world and hope that everyone will share their own messages with the world.” -Yayoi Kusama, artist

“This book has not only entertained but has also encouraged my students to express themselves in new and powerful ways.” -Raleigh Young, Kindergarten Teacher at Polytechnic School, Pasadena, CA

“I wish I had this book when I was a youngster, to help me understand just how many ways you could approach being an artist, and all the tools you can use to make your work.
