Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages
Who Arted is art history and art education for everyone. While most art history podcasts focus on the traditional "fine art" we see in museums around the world, Who ARTed celebrates art in all of its forms and in terms anyone can understand. Each episode tells the story of a different artist and artwork including the traditional big names like Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol along with lesser-known artists working in such diverse media as video game design, dance, the culinary arts, and more. Who Arted is written and produced by an art teacher with the goal of creating a classroom resource that makes art history fun and accessible to everyone. Whether you are cramming for your AP Art History exam, trying to learn a few facts so you can sound smart at fashionable dinner parties, or just looking to hear something with a more positive tone, we’ve got you covered with episodes every Monday and Friday.

Stonehenge has captured the imagination of people for centuries. It is hard to categorize the massive stone work. Is it a feat of engineering, sculpture, architecture? Is it a work of deep spiritual significance or an oversized and needlessly complicated calendar? Located in Wiltshire, England, Stonehenge is made up of standing stones arranged in a circular formation and is estimated to be over 4,500 years old. While its original p...

ArtCurious is one of my absolute favorite art podcasts. Jennifer Dasal does a deep dive into the research for all her subjects but presents the information that is easy for even me to follow. When I was studying for my exam to become a National Board Certified Teacher, I listened to a lot of ArtCurious to brush up on history I had forgotten and discovered tons of cool stuff I never knew. In fact she even had an entire season dedica...

For this week's #funfactfriday mini episode I wanted to share a bit about Herb Williams. Williams is based out of Nashville, TN and he is working with crayons on a level I have never seen from anyone else. He makes jaw dropping sculptures that are not only beautiful to look at, but the choice of crayon makes the work engage multiple senses as the unmistakable scent of crayons draws people in.

Today, Renoir is remembered as one of the greatest painters of the Impressionist movement. His paintings are soft and delicate, but his life and his work was a painful struggle. Most painters pride themselves on their ability to work with their hands. They spend years practicing, developing fine motor skills and muscle memory to easily render a beautiful image, but Renoir’s hands weren’t on board with the plan. As his son Jean reco...

In 1778, Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun met Marie Antoinette at the Royal palace in Versailles. The queen had heard of Le Brun’s talent and asked to paint her portrait. Marie Antoinette loved the way Le Brun painted her and from that point on, she was pretty much her official royal portrait painter. Le Brun painted 30 portraits of the queen. Almost as quickly as her star rose, her fortunes changed. In 1789, Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun was for...

In this portrait, Andy Warhol presented Marilyn Monroe in the format typically associated with religious artworks. This work was created just a few weeks after Monroe’s untimely death and it seems like a pop art shrine. Hers was a face that graced the pages of every magazine and tabloid. She was a young girl, Norma Jean who had been plucked from obscurity and celebrated around the world for her beauty, but outside of public view, s...
