Art Club

The Sisters Perry are back baby! This week we discuss the color authority that is Pantone and how they streamlined color which is kind of a big deal. The sisters look back at the history of PMS, introduce our good friend Roy G. Biv, and get down with some color psychology. Take aways this week are that 1. you don't mess with Adobe and 2. Miranda Priestly was right.

It is history time!! But it's super relevant and fun. This week Art Club is talking about Persian carpets and they're (we're sure) outrageous shipping costs! The sisters discuss the history and motifs of Persian carpets (especially the Persian pickle) as well as their modern-day influence. We find many cousins, learn about the spring sheer and discover that Ann pronounces everything weird always.

Scottland!!! This week, Art Club is breaking it down with clay animation (just one part of the bigger topic of stop motion). The sisters talk about all your favorite clay friends from Gumby and Pokey to Wallace and Gromit to Morph (ah classic Morph). We sing a little Veggie Tales and introduce the hype button (sorry not sorry)!

Welcome to another girl powered episode! This week, the Sisters Perry are mixing yet another obsession (true crime) with art. We discuss the wide variety of forensic art from composite sketches to forensic sculptures to age progression to dollhouse dioramas. We find the OG mugshot, go into Pubic Enemies and discover that Ann just can't handle French. Get ready cause this episode is wanted dead or alive!

It's the remix, Intaglio 2: The Streets! This week we wanted to throw it way back and give our first episode another try (since we have improved since day one) so we are looking at the little baby printing method of intaglio. The sisters talk cash money, discuss how much intaglio needs to be coddled and rock on with our ephemeral selves. And as always with printmaking it is process, process and more process!

This week, Art Club is visiting Jerusalem 2.0 aka the Churches at Lalibela in Ethiopia! It's one city with 11 legendary rock cut churches that were built by angels (probably) and may or may not have held the Arc of the Covenant (whom is quite dramatic). The sisters discuss the history and restoration issues at Lalibela and decide that the Old Testament is the best testament. Oh and the name means "the bees recognize your sovereignty" so original Queen Bee over here.

Also, my deepest apologizes for the lateness of this episode, thank you for understanding! 

You're getting paid by the hour, so make it detailed as hell! This week Art Club is going old school with some rock-cut architecture (a la Abu Simbel, the ancient city of Petra and more). The Sisters Perry use all parts of the buffalo, create a new radio host dubbed The King of Kush and decide that the WHS (World Heritage Site, duh) is the new VIP.  Oh and all the names are wonderful.

Welcome to the stage the incomparable, the always topical, #1 tire manufacturer in the world....Lego! For the sisters Perry, Lego feels like Christmas which makes it our perfect holiday treat (after Cricket on the Hearth). This week, we're going deep into Lego's plastic use and we learn that Legos have been to space. But really that we just want everything in miniature. Also, apparently, Laura does a mean elevator pitch which we will hopefully hear soon.

If you didn't learn in the Faberge Egg episode, we LOVE Russian royalty and that's what we're talking about this week! We discuss the sorted history of The Winter Palace (which is now the Hermitage Museum) located in St. Petersburg. The sisters learn some common knowledge, Russian monarchs tax everything you love and there are many cats. Ann learns a fun fact about the London Bridge and that, honestly, being a Tsar is hard.

Art Club is coming to ya live-ish! Never heard of optical dot art? Cool, cause we just made it up! This week we're making our own category  of art in which the brain goes "ehh close enough" (including Pointillism, stippling, Ben-Day dots and then some). The sisters discuss Willy Wonka and meet our new favorite super villain extraordinaire Polka-Dot Man.
