Movie Reviews of How Art Made the World
Movie Review: Another excellent BBC production
Summary: 5 Stars
Although I'm missing David's lovely voice in the commentary, this DVD, produced by the BBC folks that brought us many other topics, is again of outstanding quality. This fact alone made me confident that I would get my money back, and that I would get another topic to watch for the years to come.
As usual, we were not disappointed! There is something for everybody in this documentary, it has a logical build-up, with great photography and excellent camera work. The topic is clear, and presented lively, with many facts. I learned a lot.
Highly recommended!
Movie Review: How Art Made The World
Summary: 5 Stars
I originally rented this Documentary on a whim, at a public library and was so blown away by it's content, cinematography and scope, that I immediately went to [...] to purchase several! It has been filmed literally ALL OVER the world, and the time line is comprehensive and thorough. I would recommend this for public schools and colleges as the one course (5 hrs) to broaden anyone's appreciation of the uniquely human phenomena of decorating our world (no matter how small). From caves to cathedrals, it's an incredible journey.Movie Review: Absolutely Superb!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very insightful and informative series about the all encompassing affect that art and imagery has had on western civilisation. This series has some new and different ideas that I have not seen elsewhere. It would be great to use in school with an art history or comparative Civ. class. For some reason the main writer and presenter is left off the description, Nigel Spivey. He reminds me greatly of Simon Schama. If liked this you'd probably also enjoy his work too.Movie Review: Much more than an academic art lesson
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fantastic DVD. It is so much more than an art lesson. It weaves incredible history, literature, and the human experience into the world of art. I am so impressed with the people behind this series. They went to great lengths to bring each piece of this story to life. I learned so much, yet was completely entertained throughout this 2 disc set. I give this my highest recommendation!Movie Review: DVD- How Art Made the World made my day!
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this whole 350,000 years' worth of art on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Very well done. Helped me get a visual perspective chronologically, rather than flipping through pages of art history books. As a teacher, I would suggest the DVD is not for elementary or middle school aged classes, but possibly for higher level art students. VERY helpful in studying for National Board Assessments.
