Speaker 1: they want to be growing up.

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: Well be side?

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 3: Who up this side?

6
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: Do you find yourself drawing creative pictures all the time

00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: for fun? Join us today to find out about artists

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: and illustrators who turn their doodles into some awesome jobs.

9
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 2: Car whoa, whoa, whoa wha.

10
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: What is going on here, Winston? And what are all

11
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: these papers doing crumpled up near the trash can?

12
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: Well, I'm trying to draw a picture to enter into

13
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: an art contest for the State Fair. Emily. The theme

14
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: of the drawing has to be a world of magic,

15
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: and I really want to win the grand prize. But

16
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: I'm just not a good enough drawer. Nothing looks like

17
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 3: I wanted to when I put my pencil to the paper.

18
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: Oh, come on, now, you're judging yourself too harshly.

19
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: I think you'll be a great illustrator, Winston.

20
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: Oh thanks, Emily, But wait illustrator. Well, I know there's

21
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: different types of artists, like painters or graphic designers, but

22
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 3: what makes illustrators different from the others?

23
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: Oh?

24
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: Well, you answered your own question with the drawing you

25
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: were just doing for the fair.

26
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: I did. Wow, I'm kind of awesome. How did I

27
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: do that? Exactly? Emily?

28
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: You were drawing something to go along with words or

29
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: a theme for the fair.

30
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 3: But what's that have to do with anything?

31
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: Well, that's what illustrators do, create.

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: Drawings or art to help to express a theme or

33
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: an idea, Like in children books, the pictures you see

34
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: go along with the words you're reading, or.

35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: Like the pictures in an instruction manual, like one that

36
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: shows you how to build a lego set brick by brick,

37
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: step by step.

38
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: Precisely, that's a good example of an illustration. A comic

39
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: book artist can be considered an illustrator too, because their

40
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: drawings go along with the story that's being told.

41
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: How completely and totally rad would it be to be

42
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 3: a comic book illustrator. But I've got a lot of

43
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: doodling to doodle until I get to that point.

44
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 2: That's okay.

45
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: It takes most artists years to become great at their craft.

46
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: No one jumps into a skill and is perfect at

47
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 1: it right away, right.

48
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 3: I know you're right, Emily, but I want to win

49
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 3: that art contest right now, and it's just so frustrating.

50
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: Oh, I know it is, buddy. You know what?

51
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: I saw a sign for an interactive art gallery that's

52
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: close by.

53
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 3: Oh boy, wait, active art gallery? What is that?

54
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: It's a space where artists can hang up their work

55
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: for everyone to see. But this one, we'll also hear

56
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: the artists talking about her job. Here, sounds that go

57
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: along with each piece of art, and see sketches of

58
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: the artwork from when it was just an idea.

59
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: Oh, I've never been to one of those sounds fun though.

60
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, And right now there's a show for this amazing illustrator,

61
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: Samantha Dion Baker, where we can view her artwork and

62
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: listen to soundbites about her life as an artist.

63
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: Do you think we'd learned anything about illustrating from hearing

64
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: what she has to say?

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: I bet she's got some awesome artwork on display.

66
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: Let's head over WHOA, this place is awesome. Look at

67
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: all the colorful lights and the spaces around each illustration

68
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: are designed to go along with the theme of each picture.

69
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 3: Check it out, Emily. This drawing of the park comes

70
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: with sound effects and lighting that makes it look like

71
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: sun race.

72
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: How cool it is? Cool, isn't it Winson.

73
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 3: Oh, there's the start of Samantha's art exhibit, with all

74
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: of her artwork on display and her name in big

75
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: letters right above the door. Look, there's a big red

76
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 3: button and a description underneath each of her pictures around

77
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: the gallery.

78
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Samantha's work is beautiful. This picture of a

79
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: water tower nestled in the trees with clouds behind it.

80
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: Oh, it's just enchanting.

81
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: Hey, should we push the first button? Emily sure?

82
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 2: Why don't you do the honors.

83
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 4: My name is Samantha Dion Baker, and I'm an artist

84
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 4: and I'm also I am a teacher and a writer,

85
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 4: a storyteller, and an illustrator and a designer. My favorite

86
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 4: thing to do is just wander and look and observed.

87
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 4: That's why I love living in a city. And I

88
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 4: love people, and I love artists, and I think every

89
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 4: one is an artist.

90
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 3: Everyone is an artist. I got to write that down.

91
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: I brought a notebook, good idea Inston.

92
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: Samantha wears so many hats. Let's see artist, teacher, writer, illustrator, designer,

93
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 3: and storyteller. What does she mean by storyteller anyway?

94
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: Well, illustrators have to be able to tell a story.

95
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: With their art, and sometimes images can express emotions better

96
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: than words.

97
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: Let's go to Samantha's next work.

98
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 3: Oh wow, it's totally beautiful. They're sea green waters, tropical

99
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 3: fish in bright reds and blues. And are those coconuts

100
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 3: and green limes? Wow? So there can be power behind

101
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: the pictures we draw, too. An illustration can make people

102
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 3: feel differently about something.

103
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: That is one of the goals of a good artist

104
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: to move people emotionally with their work.

105
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: Okay, let's check out the next sound bite.

106
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: Humph, yes, please, I want to know more about Samantha's

107
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 3: life is an illustrator. Maybe she entered an art contest

108
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 3: like I'm trying to do here.

109
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: Push the button under this cute sketch of her dog Ziggy.

110
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 4: I grew up in a family of artists, and it

111
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 4: was a unique home because all of the artists who

112
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 4: were my mentors were women. So I grew up watching

113
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 4: people create beautiful things. And then I studied design when

114
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 4: I was an art school, and I was a designer

115
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 4: for most of my career, meaning that I designed books.

116
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 4: I would lay things out and use other people's artwork

117
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 4: and just play around with design and typography, meaning the

118
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 4: letters that make up the book.

119
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: So Samantha started out drawing and painting when she was younger,

120
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 3: and then she did designs on her computer. I wonder

121
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: what techniques illustrators used a long, long time ago, especially

122
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: the ones who didn't have computers. I have an.

123
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: Interesting story about that, Okay.

124
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: So some of the earliest illustrations discovered were created using charcoal,

125
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: red clay, and iron. Can you guess where the drawings

126
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: were found?

127
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 3: Duh? In a notebook like mine? No, on a whiteboard.

128
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: This was way before notebooks or whiteboards, Winston. The earliest

129
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: drawings were actually found inside of a cave in Spain,

130
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: and they were drawn by people over sixty five thousand

131
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: years ago.

132
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: Oh, cave drawings. I've seen photos of those. They're drawings

133
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 3: on the inside of cave walls, and some of the

134
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 3: ones I saw were pictures of people hunting some kind

135
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: of buffalo.

136
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: I think, right, drawings that tell a story. That's what

137
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: an illustration is.

138
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: And even after all these years, kve drawings can tell

139
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: us a lot about what life was like for people

140
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: back then, whether it was in Spain sixty five thousand

141
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: years ago or in Indonesia forty four thousand years ago.

142
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 3: That is pretty interesting, Emily. All right, let's see what

143
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: Samantha has to say next.

144
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: Before we get there, I want to take a quick

145
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: minute to tell you and our listeners about Lingo Kids.

146
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: You know how I start every episode by saying that

147
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: it's a Lingo Kids podcast. Well, Lingo Kids is the

148
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: number one learning app for kids. They believe that learning

149
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: can be fun and I think so too. They transformed

150
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: screen time with educational and interactive games, videos, and songs.

151
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: And you can play all these on their app. What

152
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: do you think, Winston?

153
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: What do I think? Sign me up?

154
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 2: Pretty cool? Right, Oh, we're here.

155
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: So I started to draw and paint all the things

156
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 4: that I did and saw and ate and discovered in

157
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 4: a sketchbook. And through the pages of my sketchbook, I

158
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 4: became an illustrator. People saw those pages, they liked them.

159
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 4: They thought, oh, well, maybe she can draw this for

160
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 4: me or that for me. I always make time to draw.

161
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 4: The repetition and the daily practice of drawing is really

162
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 4: important to me because over the years I've seen how

163
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: much my drawing skills have changed and gotten better and

164
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 4: a little bit more unique to me. Only way that

165
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 4: an artist finds their personal style is to draw and

166
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 4: draw and draw and draw over and over again until

167
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 4: it becomes a part of who they are, like an

168
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 4: extension of their personality.

169
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 3: But what exactly did Samantha mean when she said that

170
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: art is an extent of someone's personality? Like if I

171
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 3: start drawing and painting a lot, if I could be

172
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 3: walking around looking like a giant paintbrush.

173
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: No instant, that sure would be a site.

174
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: But what she means is art can be a great

175
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: way to express your unique personality. The technique to use

176
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: the way you express yourself, artist personalities can really come

177
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: out in their work.

178
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: Wow, Emily, Hey, maybe I should get a sketchbook to

179
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 3: practice my sketches every day too, just like Samantha. That way,

180
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: my artwork will get better and better, and I'll be

181
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 3: able to draw something awesome for our contests, just like

182
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: the State Fair.

183
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 2: I think that's a great idea.

184
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: A sketchbook would be a great place to keep all

185
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: of your artwork, and it's a great way to track

186
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: your progress and see how much you're improving. Each artist

187
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: style and personality is totally different and unique. Another great

188
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: example of a person being persistent in their work is

189
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: the illustrator of Eyework heard of.

190
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: Him ub Iworks, I don't think so.

191
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: Emily, Well, you've definitely heard of a character he created

192
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: with his illustrations. In fact, it's one of the most

193
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: famous cartoon characters.

194
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 2: Of all time.

195
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: I want to take a guess, Snoopy, Scooby Doo, Spider Man.

196
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: No, but good guesses.

197
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: Winston So up i Works started off as an illustrator

198
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: for a small newspaper in Kansas City, Missouri, but all

199
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: that changed when he met another illustrator at the newspaper,

200
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: Walt Disney.

201
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 3: Walt Disney I didn't know Walt Disney started out as

202
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 3: an illustrator.

203
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: Walt saw how talented ub was and asked him to

204
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: go into animating cartoons with him, which was a very

205
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: new feel at the time. That is so cool, right,

206
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: And what's even cooler is some of up ieworks sketches

207
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: ended up being the inspiration for none other than Nickey Mouse,

208
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: arguably the most famous cartoon character of all time.

209
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 3: Gosh, what a super duper incredible character to create. It

210
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: makes me want to start sketching my own ideas right away.

211
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 2: You should, Vincent, you never know what could come of it.

212
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: I bet the next part of the art Gallery sound

213
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: Bites is where Samantha walks us through her day as

214
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:23,599
Speaker 1: an illustrator.

215
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: Shall we good, sir?

216
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 4: Because I'm an artist and I cover a lot of

217
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 4: different areas within that title of artists, There's.

218
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 3: Not really a set structure to.

219
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 4: Each day, which is kind of nice. I get to

220
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 4: make up my own rules and so every day is

221
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 4: a little bit different, but I always make the time

222
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: to draw.

223
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: Ah wow, I would love to be able to make

224
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 3: my own rules at my job.

225
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: It sounds like a dream career, doesn't it.

226
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: Illustrators can work and a number of different fields. Some

227
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: draw pictures that go in magazines. Some draw designs that

228
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: end up on book covers, like all the neat images

229
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: on the front of Harry Potter or Captain Underpants.

230
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: Next, it says she talks about what inspires her and

231
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 3: her artwork.

232
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 4: My biggest inspiration is travel and New York City, where

233
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 4: I live. There's so much inspiration all around me. When

234
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 4: I walk around the streets of New York City, It's

235
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 4: endless and I'm never tired of it. It never gets old.

236
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 4: I'm inspired by the people and the diversity and architecture,

237
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 4: the animals, the subways, the taxis the things that are

238
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 4: just left on the street for me to find, and

239
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 4: I love New York City. That's my biggest inspiration. I

240
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 4: think to be a creative person, the most important thing

241
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 4: is to be an observer in life and to really

242
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 4: see everything that can be considered art in your life,

243
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 4: whether it's just a bug crawing across the pavement under

244
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 4: you or a beautiful sunset. The most important thing as

245
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 4: an artist is to just keep looking for things and

246
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 4: discovering all the details and the beautiful things that this

247
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 4: world has to offer us.

248
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: Wow. So artists try to find beauty and ordinary things

249
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 3: they see every day.

250
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: And some artists have a special way of turning those

251
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: observations into art, like the famous French painter Claude Monet.

252
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: Money lived from eighteen forty to nineteen twenty six in

253
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: the North part of France. He absolutely loves the natural

254
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: beauty that surrounded him and the neighboring countryside. When he

255
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: was sixteen, he went to study at an art school

256
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: in Paris and found that he loves playing with light

257
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: and color in his work. And now some of his

258
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: most famous paintings are of beautiful water lilies that grew

259
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: in a garden near his home. You can tell he

260
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 1: was really inspired by the nature around him.

261
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 3: What do you see every day that you find inspiring

262
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: your beautiful Emily?

263
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: Hmm, well, I actually think the bacteria that moves underneath

264
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: the microscope in our lab is quite beautiful. All the

265
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: pretty shapes and colors, I just love it.

266
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 2: What inspires you, Winston.

267
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 3: I don't know. I guess you're pretty inspiring, miss Emily,

268
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 3: so maybe i'll draw you soon after a bit more practice,

269
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 3: of course.

270
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 2: Oh that's sweet, Winston. Thank you.

271
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 3: So artists get inspired to draw or paint the things

272
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: they see.

Speaker 3: All the stuff Samantha said sure did make me feel

276
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 3: better about being a beginner of drawing and those other

277
