On Who ARTed, every week, I discuss a different work of art with a guest. I have been asked how I make sense of so many different artworks. Honestly, analyzing art did not come easily to me, and for a long time I felt uncomfortable discussing a piece because I wasn't very confident in my interpretations. I found that it helps a lot to approach things systematically. I go through three basic steps to understand any artwork.If you enjoy this show, and want to learn more about art history, check out my other podcast, Who ARTed.

Modern Art

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.
