Description
In this episode, I explored the most commonly used and probably least thought about art material, the pencil. Have you ever wondered why we call the core of a pencil lead even though it is graphite? Have you ever wondered how they get that graphite rod into the middle of a pencil, or what those letters and numbers on the pencil mean? I talked to Becky Trudeau from Dixon Ticonderoga to learn all about it.

Art Smart Trailer: <p>Visual art is all around us. I would go so far as to say that art is the most significant development in human history. Art is how and why we got out of the trees. Art is the basis for communication. It is what enables people to learn from each other and build off of each other’s ideas. It is how people have come to not only understand the world around them but to envision a means of improving their circumstances. </p> <p>Because I believe that art is so important to humanity, I have dedicated my career to helping others become more thoughtful creators and consumers of art. I earned my BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and I have over a decade of experience as an art teacher. The Art Smart podcast is here to help you understand the elements of art and the principles of design so you can be a more thoughtful creator and consumer of art. </p> <p>Whether you are an artist, and art lover or just looking for some info you can share to sound by Art Smart
