This week the Work of Artists are going out of town, to a forest. Guess what, nature is the muse! They also must use raw materials from the woods. This is an even more open challenge than the Audi challenge. Guess who doesn't know how to deal with it more

Tasked with making art inspired by nature, the remaining five contestants on Work of Art: The Next Great Artist were shuttled out to a Connecticut woodland, there to get in touch with their inner Rousseaus, their lurking Walton Fords. It was a double-elim more

The challenge for this week' Work of Art: The Next Great Artist was to create pieces with opposing themes, with the artists paired in teams. Abdi and Nicole's theme was order and chaos; Peregrine and Mark's was heaven and hell more

This week's Work of Art: The Next Great Artist began rather frighteningly. The show's mentor/Swiss popinjay, Simon de Pury, told the contestants that they were going down to SoHo and was greeted with blank stares. I didn't know where we wer more

I'm ambivalent about the way things worked out on Work of Art: The Next Great Artist this week. Yes, the hour was the most dramatic to date, with fascinating exchanges in particular between Miles and Erik. These young men grappled with the big questi more

I'm a little shocked to realize that I like Work of Art: The Next Great Artist more and more every week, and that this week was the best hour yet. Tasked to create a shocking work of art, our little army of art-makers were guest-judged by that more
