I love LEGO’s and these mini documentaries that PBS Off Book puts out and the latest of all the ones they have put out, is getting a ton of hits! The mini documentary features LEGO‘s one of the most beloved toys in the world and how they have evolved from simple childhoods toy to an art form. In this episode you meet three LEGO artists Sean Kenney, Alex Kobbs and Nathan Sawaya who have made beautiful mosaics, amazing stop-motion videos, thoughtful sculptures, and have turned these tiny building blocks into a true artistic medium. Pretty amazing stuff I really enjoyed this one. Watch it Lego Art by PBS Off Book below.
