Peggy just keeps casually dropping wisdom. She sounds like a zen master-but way more relatable.

@ysorandomxp9941 6 лет назад

honestly she needs to start her own artchannel i'd watch yhours of her just talking and painting

@gravityvertigo13579 6 лет назад

This is a great video. I love that you're enthusiastic about so many aspects of natural history. It seems like sometimes STEM people have sort of a defensive hostility to art and I like that I never see any of that from the Brain Scoop.

@nancygilbert8054 6 лет назад

This show is cookin' with STEAM. :D Art (or the arts) is a great creative element that can enhance and energize the other branches of STEM.

@sheren_b 6 лет назад

i love this, and i would legit just watch a series of emily painting with peggy (or anyone else at the field!) it would be like if bob ross painted science. also love Emily's Captain Planet shirt!

You know, when I was in school I was the only kid who got a "C" in art. Now, about 15 years later, I not only take some (hopefully) artistic photos of landscapes and sometimes animals, but I also draw and I really love it! School can really ruin your interests and drain your motivation. I'm so glad to see videos like this, that inspire people to just do it. Nothing bad can happen, nobody was a talented or great painter when they were born. Just do it. If you don't like it, keep doing it until you like what you're doing!

@jo-vf8jx 5 лет назад

photographer85 I graduated 17 years ago and just this past year I got into what I can my artsy fartsy phase and I’ve been loving it. I can’t draw to to save my life, but I have fun doing it lol. And the most important part is that it makes me feel good. I tend to let my emotions take over and most times I’m pleasantly surprised by what I can draw.

@sweetiedahling8137 3 года назад

I’m suuuuper late to the party but I completely agree! I did get good grades in art, but having to justify & explain every little detail totally took the fun out of creating art for me. Thanks to ye olde plague times I’ve finally started drawing again and even though I’m still just doing beginner exercises (to build confidence) I’m so glad I did it and I’m having so much fun. I hope you’re still enjoying it too!

This is so fun, I actually like the diversity of your latest episodes

@walkerweyland7685 6 лет назад

Peggy was a mentor of mine for a year and she taught me more in that year than all of the art classes I have ever taken. She is always a delight! Great job Emily and Peggy!

@DuluthTW 6 лет назад

Great to see you get back to your roots for a bit, Emily. Peggy has a very important job. She is clearly great at it. Thanks for sharing!

@abatwithinternet7445 6 лет назад

As a fellow artist/scientist, I really appreciate you talking about how well the two subjects compliment one another. I'd also love to see more content like this, as well as more of Ms. Macnamara, she's awesome! Possibly an episode on field sketches and how they've helped scientists over the centuries?

@xihearthe80sx 6 лет назад

Some Scientific Illustration! Yay! I've been waiting for an episode featuring this! As an illustrator that dabbled a little in it in college, this is super exciting! Beautiful work!

@nancygilbert8054 6 лет назад

"Nothing is final in art. Praise." That's my new mantra, right there. Thanks, mesdames, that was highly enjoyable. And inspiring! :)

@CrankyPantss 6 лет назад

That must have been a fun day. It certainly was a fun video to watch. Thanks for sharing it with us.

@chameleonhound 5 лет назад

Peggy is amazing, and this was one of my most favorite Brain Scoop episodes of all time. Right up there with necropsies.

Every time I watch this show i gets completely blown away by the production itself. Love every part of this! Thank you so much for this wonderful series

@eduardoanavarrov4840 6 лет назад

Emily i am really thankfull for all the content like this, and evering in the channel! You make science look so interesting, and easy to fall in love. Thank you a lot for your content!!!

@creepybearandfriends9063 6 лет назад

This was very casual and quietly encouraging for any student. There was a nice flow back and forth. I hope you both had a good time, because I would definatly tune in for a part two.

@arthurschwalm6332 6 лет назад

"Painting with Peggy" should be a regular segment.

@VPFrio 5 лет назад

I love her so much! I would love to see a series where she leads mini art classes where she has various researchers, curators, scientists of different departments paint and draw the things they study!!

@SilverDawnArrow 6 лет назад

Peggy's colourful art reminds me of when I was in school and we were making ceramic dragons and when it came to painting them I decided I wanted to use every colour but my teacher thought it couldn't be done. Being as stubborn as I am, I did it anyway and in the end he told me he had thought it wouldn't work but somehow I managed it. According to my younger sisters he still talks about me and how I was stubborn and did things my own way.

@Sunila_DragonladyCH 6 лет назад

So true! So many people think it just "happens" *poof* one day you can suddenly paint! Man I want her job! But I made do with being both a museologist and an illustrator, just not at the same job :)

Caracals and servals are my favorite wild cats, as I sit here typing around one of my two favorite housecats.

@NewMessage 6 лет назад

Definitely need to see more on science art.. Those old books full of illustrations are absolute magic.. and I credit them with sparking my imagination, and curiosity about the world. Made my day. this.

@abigailyoung186 6 лет назад

I could watch this all day! Please do more art/science crossovers with peggy! I owuld love if more art and design aspects of the museum collection got videos!

@XSpImmaLion 6 лет назад

I can't express how much I love this video... from the random bits of stuff Emily says, to some marvelous insights by both Peggy and Emily. It's yet another video kids should be watching, and I wish I watched as a kid.

@abbiezimmer6190 6 лет назад

I'm training for scientific illustration myself, and its always wonderful to see people merge science and art. At the core of both art and science is just the act of paying extreme attention to something. Artists may rely heavily on visual cues alone, but the form and function of something can sometimes best be conveyed after being filtered through the mind of an artist. Which is so beautiful if you ask me. Great stuff here.

@ponyfreak12420000 6 лет назад

This video made me so, so happy. I've been following the brain scoop for a few years now and I too finished a BFA in painting this past December. It's nice to know that an art education can lead you into so many different, amazing directions, and I feel that my art education has given me the tools to think and look at the world with much more open eyes. Thank you for this Emily. Hopefully I'll have the pleasure to paint with you someday, and venture out the way you have too.

@jaybakerwork 6 лет назад

One of my favorite episodes. More Peggy in the future please!

@juhlsghouls 5 лет назад

I’m such a visual person which has sort of kept me from science, but studying how animals and humans work for art always makes drawing so much more interesting!

@WriterNinja 6 лет назад

I used to spent time sketching taxidermy in the natural history museum of my college, and this video brought me back to those times. Loved watching you both make some art.

@topherhenness3810 6 лет назад

I would love to see WAY more of these. This was better than the average art class I've attended.

@heatherfreeman5274 6 лет назад

30 seconds in and I can already tell this is going to be one of my favorite brain scoops.

@ElizabethLopez-hx6xv 6 лет назад

This is so interesting because I had kind of the opposite experience. I was always into animals so my parents bought me a variety of books on birds and insects. Because I used to think drawing from real life was too complicated I would pick out the animal illustrations from these book and try to sketch them. Some of my fondest memories are of when my grandmother babysat and we would spend the night drawing together. I've improved in my artistic skills but, science has always been my favorite! Those are some beautiful colors Macnamara uses, and Emily, I didn't realize how amazing of an artist you were!

So funny - I, too, began my career in Art. I got my FBA from the University of Florida and through Art History, I developed a passion for Science (studying da Vinci). Ended up going back to college at the University of Louisville for a BS in Molecular Biology. 🤔🤨🤓

@hellasnappy 6 лет назад

@Maj7 6 лет назад

WHOOAAAAA, This is one of the coolest videos! Absolutely loved seeing you two paint. More like this would be radical! Mixing art and science, WHOOOWEEE. 10/10

@Bookworm3497 6 лет назад

I LOVE that you have been doing more art-themed videos lately! I wonder if you guys might do a video about the evolution of prep materials and supplies in both art and natural science. Techniques change as we learn more about different materials, and the videos you've done on taxidermy show that

@Kimmaline 6 лет назад

At the beginning of this video I paused it and told my daughter that even though I think I had a lot of art talent, I never bothered to develop skill because of what Peggy said toward the end - that I thought I needed to be GREAT from the beginning or I had no talent. Which is odd, because my dad was a professional musician and made a really big point between the difference between talent and skill my whole life. Peggy is amazing. BTW, Peggy - I just dyed my pink hair aqua and purple.
