《你是艺术家》是为每一个想成为艺术家，但又不敢贸然行动的人打造的一本书。这本书就像一所艺术学校，将发人深省的艺术实践感想与一系列的实践练习和 "创造才能 "结合在一起，帮助读者弄清楚自己是什么样的艺术家，以及他们可以实现什么。

You Are an Artist is for everyone who wants to be an artist, but has been too afraid to take the plunge. Combining a thought-

provoking meditation on art practice with a series of practical exercises and 'creative provocations', the book is a kind of art school, helping the reader to work out what kind of artist they are, and what they can achieve.

Drawing on the author’s experience as an art school teacher, it playfully adapts the methods of art education, mixing these with the sideways approach to creativity popularized by the author’s activist campaigns. Smith provides an array of ideas, tips and practical examples, illustrated with documentary photographs of his own specially made work.
