LEGO Art: PBS Web Series

Origin of Cool is a big fan of LEGO having featured the popular toys in several articles. For some creative people, LEGO has evolved from toy to art form. PBS have created a web series called Off Book that explores cutting edge art and the artists that make it. In this episode, three LEGO artists talk about their creations; beautiful mosaics, stop-motion videos and cool sculptures. Take a look at the 8-foot tall hummingbird and life size polar bear to see creativity at its very best. What I love about this is that way that by creating something remarkable in an unremarkable setting, it changes the way people think about that environment. Think of all the ways this could be applied with other toys or art pieces to positively affect people’s perception on something.
