Yup, that certainly was one of those advertising mantras that certainly stuck with me as a kid.  You know, growing up, you never really know how much you absorb. For a better chunk of my childhood, I learned a ton of stuff from the Muppets and their friends on Sesame Street.  Here are some old and new examples about how they passed on knowlege of art to us.  If you haven't seen these before, you're in for a treat :)

1) How to behave in a museum. Granted not many of us wanted to eat the art work, but the same sentiment of "Don't touch it" still comes through. (The whole museum special is online, so if you have time, check it out, it's kind of cute :)

2) Here's a witty clip about a studio worker trying to hang and label Salvador Dada's work. If you are confused by the punchline, it's basically saying that not everything has to be logical and make sense.

4)  In the newer seasons, you can even learn about art using other languages. I love their little lamb character, she is super cute and hilarious!

5) Finally, what I am most proud of, is how they are using celebrities to teach kids through song. Because if you don't know your primary and secondary colors after this number, then I just give up ;)

Continuing on in my streak of Art History that can be awesome, here is the work of Larry Moss, a genius who recreates famous paintings using balloons.  Kudos Larry, I tip my hat to you.

I may have to try this painting style out. It's like Picasso meets Mario Brothers.

Do you still take your lunch with you in a brown paper bag?  Yes it's great beacause it's good for the environment, but at the same time it's about the most boring looking container that man kind has ever made.  Well until now.  See how one guy made his sons lunch bags that much cooler! Inspired yet? I totally am!

Interesting idea on how to make ants colorful........
