Today's mini episode is about the Moai statues of Rapa Nui, commonly referred to as Easter Island. The purpose of the Moai remains a mystery, but one theory suggests they represented ancestors and were placed facing inland to watch over villages. Despite their size and detail, many Moai were damaged by natural events and human activity. The remaining Moai are a testament to the Rapa Nui people's skill and creativity, and they continue to inspire awe and wonder.
Arts Madness 2025
Season 11 is all about my Arts Madness Tournament. Once again, I hope you will weigh in on your favorite artists/artworks as we go from 64 down to 1. For this year’s tournament, I put 32 works from the AP Art History list in one bracket, and on the other side, I have 32 artists/works from my personal “Salon des Refusés” that were not included in the curriculum. Voting for Round 1 will begin Monday, February 24. In the meantime, learn about all the different artists/artworks. I will be posting daily mini episodes for 64 days (mostly encore presentations with some updates and new episodes most Mondays).
