Photography
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.

Screen Printing
Andy Warhol famously said that he wanted to be like a machine producing artworks in his factory studio. The irony is of course he played with colors and exposures, leaning in to the imperfections of an over exposed image or printing without perfectly aligning his screens. He put a human touch into the mechanical process elevating pop culture subjects to the realm of fine art. In this episode, I spoke with Melissa Sorenson from Speedball Art Materials to learn how screen printing works. She shared some insights into how the materials are produced and how we can make the most of them in our studios.

Markers
Markers were one of my favorite media growing up. I loved the immediacy of being able to draw with markers and create bright, bold colors. When I got a little older, I became frustrated with the limitations as the colors always seemed flat. Now as an adult I have found that markers are surprisingly versatile. In this episode, I talked about the artist, Tom Deslongchamp and his incredible marker drawings. You can see a video of him explaining and demonstrating his technique on his website https://www.tomdeslongchamp.com/about Tom also recently came out with a book of his drawings. https://www.tomdeslongchamp.com/shop/nowheretonowbook For this episode, my guest was Rita Gibson from Prang art materials explaining how markers are made and sharing some tips.

Paint
For this week's episode, we are focusing on paints. Painting is one of the oldest artforms, and as I have said many times before, art is the most important development in human history as it is our capacity to imagine a better tomorrow and communicate that vision with others. We have found evidence of art such as paintings on cave walls that are almost as old as humanity itself. In this episode, I shared a little bit about the paintings on the walls of the caves in Lascaux then I spoke with Rita Gibson from Prang to learn about how our modern paints are made. She also some insights to help us make better use of our paints.
