- So what's happening here at the Sydney Opera House today is
we are taking this fantastic thing, this Lego brick that we know so well,
and we're turning it into a drawing tool which you can use
to put all over this sculpture wall behind us and do drawings, make patterns
and make fantastic images and shapes.
So we're about day eight into the project
and I reckon we've put about 80,000 bricks on the wall,
so that means we've got 120,000 bricks to go.
So what you see behind us is gonna look very different
in another 12 days.
So it's an organic cumulative public artwork
which 200,000 pieces of Lego will get put onto by about 10,000 kids.
- It's fun because you get to build things.
- You don't know what to choose from cos there's all these different pieces.
You just find a piece and do whatever you like on it,
make a big shape
and, like, make your name out of Lego. It's just really fun.
- When the people come and help you, they work in handy
cos they help you a lot with all the buildings
and they give you ideas of what you like and what you would like to do.
- It's a hugely special time for the Opera House at the moment
and I guess we're really opening the House up to everybody.
We're sort of making it something which is for the people, for everybody,
it's not just about the elitist arts, it really is opening up on all levels,
and so children and families are a huge part of that.
- It's the biggest Lego thing ever.
- We're very lucky because it's the only Sydney Opera House in the world.
- This much fun!
- Ten out of ten.
