 Rating: - I WANT DVD's5 STARS for content. 1 STAR for format AVERAGE: 3 This is a wonderful series, no question. But why oh why is it NOT available in DVD??????????????? Here's why: They have a warehouse full of the VHS tapes that they haven't yet sold...AND they know they never will if they release the series on DVD. Here's an idea: GIVE THEM AWAY FOR FREE to schools in the THIRD WORLD where they might shed a more sympathetic light on the Western world.....and then RELEASE the series ...

We are using it for the second time for USF (University of South Florida) Senior Programs for students in their 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Picture and sound fit well together, and provide a lot of "Aha" experiences for people who have visited the sites, or seen the sculptures or paintings in art museums. The videos, shown in about 26 minute segments provide a super basis for discussions, and for subsequent visits to art museums.

Rating: - This is a good series.We watched this video series during the last two terms in my Art History class. Yes, alot of people appeared to be asleep, but if they are anything like the students at my school, that wasn't the fault of the video. I thought they were very interesting and filled in alot of the gaps in my art history knowledge. I liked how they had mini-slide shows of works with some music playing in the background. It was especially nice in our lecture hall with the surround sound system. Browse for similar items by category:
