                   Behind the Scenes explores the magic and the mystery of artistic creation. 
  Hosted by magicians Penn and Teller, this award-winning series goes behind the 
scenes to discover the creative process with renowned artists. David Hockney, the world-famous artist whose work spans painting, drawing, book 
illustrations, photo-collage and set design, shows how modern artists play with 
the conventions of perspective, illusion of depth and the vanishing point.  When is a line not just a line? Artist Wayne Thiebaud shows how volume, shape, 
  feeling and movement can transform a simple line into art.  Robert Gil de Montes, the celebrated painter, relies on the imaginative and 
  unusual use of color to create art that reflects a keen awareness of his Mexican 
roots.  And Matt Groening, 
  creator of The Simpsons and Futurama, demonstrates the art of comic strips.
