Who Arted is art history and art education for everyone. While most art history podcasts focus on the traditional "fine art" we see in museums around the world, Who ARTed celebrates art in all of its forms and in terms anyone can understand. Each episode tells the story of a different artist and artwork including the traditional big names like Leonardo da Vinci, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol along with lesser-known artists working in such diverse media as video game design, dance, the culinary arts, and more. Who Arted is written and produced by an art teacher with the goal of creating a classroom resource that makes art history fun and accessible to everyone. Whether you are cramming for your AP Art History exam, trying to learn a few facts so you can sound smart at fashionable dinner parties, or just looking to hear something with a more positive tone, we’ve got you covered with episodes every Monday and Friday.Copyright 2024 All rights reserved.

  • Giotto | Ognissanti Madonna

    Giotto | Ognissanti Madonna
    Apr 10 2026
    Giotto di Bondone, born around 1267 near Florence, is widely recognized as a pivotal figure who transformed the trajectory of Western art by breaking away from the flat, spiritual symbolism of the Byzantine style. Legend, as recorded by the 16th-century biographer Giorgio Vasari, holds that the master painter Cimabue discovered Giotto as a young shepherd boy sketching lifelike sheep on a rock. During his apprenticeship in the bustling trade center of Florence, Giotto pioneered the use of chiaroscuro—the application of light and shadow to create three-dimensional volume—and introduced anatomical realism that made religious figures appear as if they had actual bones and muscle beneath their garments. His mastery of the fresco technique, which involved painting into wet plaster to bond the pigment directly to the wall, ensured that his storytelling and emotional depth would endure for centuries in major Italian cities like Assisi, Rome, and Milan. Giotto’s influence is perhaps most evident in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, completed around 1305, where he depicted raw human grief in scenes like The Lamentation. His later work, the Ognissanti Madonna, further showcases his ability to blend traditional medieval conventions with observable reality. While the infant Jesus is rendered as a "homunculus" or "little man" to symbolize divine wisdom, the Virgin Mary is depicted with a sense of physical weight and presence previously unseen in altarpieces. Beyond his artistic innovations, Giotto was a savvy businessman and a public figure, eventually serving as the chief architect for the city of Florence. Before his death in 1337, he designed the iconic bell tower for the Florence Cathedral, leaving a legacy as the "Father of the Renaissance" who bridged the gap between sacred symbolism and the human experience.

  • Codex Borgia

    Codex Borgia
    Apr 3 2026
    The Codex Borgia is a pre-Columbian Mesoamerican manuscript, a 36-foot folded document made of animal hide, dating from the 13th to early 16th centuries. Created by Indigenous peoples, likely in central Mexico, it serves as a religious and divinatory almanac used by priests. Filled with intricate depictions of deities like Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl, and Tlaloc, it illustrates the 260-day tonalpohualli ritual calendar. Part of the “Borgia Group,” it survived the Spanish conquest and is now housed in the Vatican Apostolic Library. The codex offers invaluable insight into pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican beliefs, cosmology, and rituals, showcasing complex iconography and artistic skill. It provides crucial information for understanding the history, culture, and religion of ancient Mexican civilizations.
