Art Smart

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.

Elements of Art: Line Jan 04, 2022

Show notes

This episode is all about the Element of Art: Line. In Art, we consider a mark with length and direction to be a line. Lines can be long or short, they can be straight, wavy, zig-zag, jagged, thick, or thin. Lines can be solid or dotted; we might even talk about a line that is not physically present in the work but merely suggested by other elements we see.

Art Smart Trailer Jan 04, 2022

Show notes

Visual art is all around us. I would go so far as to say that art is the most significant development in human history. Art is how and why we got out of the trees. Art is the basis for communication. It is what enables people to learn from each other and build off of each other’s ideas. It is how people have come to not only understand the world around them but to envision a means of improving their circumstances.

Because I believe that art is so important to humanity, I have dedicated my career to helping others become more thoughtful creators and consumers of art. I earned my BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and I have over a decade of experience as an art teacher. The Art Smart podcast is here to help you understand the elements of art and the principles of design so you can be a more thoughtful creator and consumer of art.

Whether you are an artist, and art lover or just looking for some info you can share to sound smart and impress people at fact dinner parties, Art Smart is for you because art is for everyone.
