I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'you can' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'the artist in him' is the wordplay.
'the artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ra' placed inside 'him' is 'HIRAM'.

'see' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
