Pre-order our book YOU ARE AN ARTIST (which includes new assignments!) here: http://bit.ly/2kplj2h In which we go to The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, Missouri, and give you some pointers on how to visit an art museum. Seems easy enough, but there are ways to maximize your experience. What are your museum tricks and tips? Let's talk about it in the comments!

Many thanks to The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art for giving us access to their wonderful institution. Their admission is free, but they can only do this because of donations and memberships. So while we joke that you should always find a way to get in for free, you should also consider supporting your local institutions whenever you can and in whatever way you can. This can be through membership, donations, attending events, or volunteering your time. (And if you happen to have an amazing art collection of your own, you should will it to a museum. Really. Your grandchildren won't appreciate it nearly as much as an entire city will for many generations to come.)

This week we tackle the intersection of art and our changing climate. Throughout history, art has helped reveal the climate around us and highlight our fragile relationship to it. We look at navigational charts from the Marshall Islands, Katsushika Hokusai’s "Under the Wave off Kanagawa", Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s "Hunters in the Snow", Mali's Great Mosque of Djenné, the Ise Shrine in Japan, steadily sinking Venice, the cave paintings of Lascaux, and Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty, among others.

"Surrealism" has become shorthand for the bizarre, the irrational, the hallucinatory. But what IS it? Or what WAS it? Today we delve into the history of Surrealism, as it formed in post-World War I Europe and as it has infiltrated our wider culture up to today. Here's our case for what Surrealism is, and why you should care about it.

Song Lyrics:
Look at all the colors I can see!
I see big red apples in the tree.
I can see my yellow cat,
I can see my big blue hat.
Oh, look at all the colors I can see!

Look at all the colors I can see!
I can see green leaves up in the tree.
I can see my big orange ball,
Purple flowers by the wall.
Oh, look at all the colors I can see!

Look at all the colors I can see!
I can see the brown trunk of the tree.
I see white clouds in the sky,
And a blackbird flying by.
Oh, look at all the colors I can see!

(Spoken)
Red and yellow make orange.
Yellow and blue make green.
Blue and red make purple.
Red and white make pink.
White and black make gray.
All the colors make brown!

Look at all the colors I can see!
Now I see gray rain clouds by the tree.
If we get a few rain showers,
Then I'll see big bright pink flowers.
Oh, look at all the colors I can see!

I see colors of the rainbow
in the world that's all around me,
Oh, look at all the colors I can see!
