Art Smart

By: Kyle Wood
  • Summary

  • 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.

  • Photography
    Apr 5 2023
    This week's episode is about photography. While numerous scientists were conducting experiments with light sensitive materials as early as the 18th century, it was Daguerre in the middle of the 19th century who really advanced the medium. He wasn't the first photographer, but he innovated coming up with a practical method and sharing it with the world so others could build off his process and improve it further. Daguerre was also among the first to recognize photography as an art form and not just a science. In the early days, photographs would require long exposure times. As a result moving subjects couldn't be caught on film, but in 1838, Daguerre pointed his camera to the street outside his window. A man was having his boots polished and just happened to stand still long enough so that he and the person polishing his boots would become the first people captured in a photo. This week my guest was Matt Stoeffel from Kodak. He shared tremendous insights into how black and white as well as color film worked, and how our digital cameras process images.
