Maybe you wanted to be an artist when you were young, but life got in the way. And you've been too busy ever since to get back to art.

With shelter-in-place going on, you might have a little more spare time these days. So let's visit with Sarah Urist Green, who hosts a PBS show called "The Art Assignment."

She packs up some of the same techniques from the TV show in a book called You Are an Artist: Assignments to Spark Creation.

Readers are encouraged to take on the assignments, interpreted through their own lives. We visit with the author for a taste of the assignments.
