Getting To Know the Worlds Greatest Artists Video
Series!
Created by: Mike Venezia
www.GettingToKnow.com
What is the best way to teach? When its fun! If you
are teaching art history, I cannot recommend a more engaging
way than incorporating the Getting To Know the Worlds
Greatest Artists VIDEOS! My family is already a huge fan of
the book series by Mike Venezia. The videos, just like the
books, are entertaining, energetic, fun, and educational.
My entire family was captivated we watched animated Da Vinci,
Monet, Rembrant, and Van Gogh characters host
their own stories. When Da Vinci hosts his video,
he teases the audience by keeping his most famous portrait
hidden throughout the video. It was fun to watch the kids
try and guess what the painting was (Mona Lisa) before Da
Vinci finally revealed it at the end. In our home classes
over the years, our kids have been studying art and famous
artists. It was great to see my kids relate and make the connections
with their studies. Our daughter, Emmiko, had been studying
and sketching Van Gogh paintings recently. When we watched
Van Gogh, she was ecstatic! She ran to get a book full of
Van Gogh paintings to show us what she had been learning.
These videos use fun (and funny!) tactics to keep your interest.
Art can be a little inappropriate in some areas. In the Da
Vinci video they had a creative way of tactfully avoiding
nudity in pictures. Our family appreciated this. If we were
to change anything about the videos, it would be to have them
longer! However, perhaps keeping the videos shorter leaves
us with a desire to learn more.
-Product Review by: Jenefer Igarashi, Senior Editor, The Old
Schoolhouse Magazine
ART CONTEST: TOS has five of these amazing
videos to give away! What they need from your children are full-color
landscape pictures in any art medium. Make them *colorful*
and if you win they will print it in the following issue. Please
make sure you write your full name, address, phone number,
and your age on the back of the landscape because in order
for you to win, we have to be able to contact you. They will need
the landscapes sent in by September 5, 2005. Art will
not be returned. For more info: http://www.thehomeschoolmagazine.com/contests/
