Translated from the original Estonian, I am an Artist presents the everyday life of John, informed by the author’s own experiences as a practicing artist.
During the story, John explores a range of different mediums, including drawing, sculpture, painting, photography and more, introducing children to various art forms and inspiring them to think creatively. The book is also a perfect way to open up discussions about how different people find and develop their creative process.
By examining the various challenges and worries John faces, as well as his successes, from always seeking approval to the joys of seeing works of art come to life, I am an Artist sensitively balances the different aspects of the profession to present it as an exciting and varied career option for children, as well as encouraging conversations about their own goals.
