A funny, inviting, and full-color book about art for people who don’t know about “art”—featuring new illustrations by David Shrigley

What is art, where do I find it, and once I’m in front of it, what am I supposed to think about it?

For too long, art has been seen as something intimidating and exclusive. But like playing or listening to music, cooking and eating great food, or reading books or watching films, making and looking at art deserves to be an enriching part of all our lives.

So here, from Kate Bryan—a twenty-year art-world veteran—is a nifty way to take back art on your own terms. From where it is to what it is, to tips on how to actually enjoy famous artworks like the Mona Lisa, to how to own art and make art at home, through to vital advice for making a career as an artist and even how to make your dog more cultural, How to Art gives art to everyone, and makes it fun.

Laced throughout are original artworks by the very down-to-earth artist David Shrigley.
