LEGO – The Growth And The Movement

Who doesn’t love LEGOS? LEGOS have been within our families for years—and will be for many years to come. LEGOS are now used in the arts, science, education, and entertainment industries; not just children toys or for hobbyist. From the beginner LEGO builder to the expert builder—they all have a part to play. LEGOS have a long history, beginning in the year 1916 by a young man name Ole Kirk (the founder of LEGO). Ole Kirk was a self-employed carpenter and joiner. In 1932 Ole Kirk started to manufacture and sell wooden toys. LEGOS went from wooden blocks/pull-along toys, plastic toys, to plastic bricks and other custom plastic shapes. Now named LEGO Group, the company has partnered/joined many big brands to its licensed theme group products. Some of the brands they partner with are The Walt Disney Company, Nickelodeon, Harry Potter, Marvel Super Heroes, and many more. LEGO entered the parks/entertainment industry with LEGOLAND; and they have several LEGOLAND parks around the world. LEGOS are now doing everything from video games, tabletop games, films, fashion & style, clubs, fan builders, books, hotels, and — one of my favorites — LEGO Brick Art. LEGO Brick Art shows the many creative LEGO building structures you can build using LEGOS. LEGOS grew from just being simple wooden blocks into something huge! I can see LEGO growing and expanded in new industries in the future. Also, getting more children to be excited about building with LEGOS. I can also see more innovative creative projects being developed within the arts and engineering industries. I want to share with you some of the awesome creative works that artists built using LEGOS.
