Art Smart

26

Art is for everyone, but sometimes, the way we talk about art doesn't make sense to anyone. Art Smart breaks through the confusing artspeak to help everyone understand and enjoy art a little bit more. Every episode is short and to the point giving you a quick overview of the topic in just a few minutes. In Season 1, Art Smart focused on the Elements of Art and the Principles of Design. The elements of art are the building blocks of art and the principles of design focus on how artists arrange those building blocks. Understanding the Elements and Principles can help you become a better creator whether you aspire to be the next Leonardo da Vinci, or you just want your family photos to look good on social media. For Season 2, Art Smart is focusing on different eras and movements in art. What is the difference between modern and post-modern? How were the Post-Impressionists and Impressionists similar and different? Learn all about these and other movements in season 2. Each episode will cover a movement or era in broad strokes, then give you five specific artists/works to look at for a better understanding.

    Cut the music track in back please
    Good content, nice spoken word - but all of that is totally ruined by the continuous music track. Please explain: what is a music bed there for? Don't think it serves any purpose really.
  • ArtGirlSAH
    Art & materials simply explained
    Great for beginners & also a basic refresher of us elders, too.
  • Dave Grohl (for real dude)
    Fantastic
    Great information and excellent content for any artist. I haven’t been this excited about anything since watching John stamos on full house.
  • trolleydodger1
    Wonderful!
