Why adults need play to understand great art
Lego’s design lead argues that building The Kiss teaches composition, texture and colour theory in a way passive viewing cannot.
Expert comment angle: Offer a sharp POV op-ed and broadcast comments from a senior Lego Art designer to arts, culture and education desks: hands-on making deepens art literacy better than gallery labels.
Why: It reframes the set as arts education, not merch, giving journalists a counterintuitive, quotable take on adult play and culture.
