                        Learning is fun, because knowledge is power! 02/15/2012

                        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 ;)
