VHS Movie Reviews of Art of Western World 1-4
Movie Review: informative and visually rich
Summary: 5 Stars
I teach art history and art appreciation. For years I have been using this series in class. It is about as sexy a documentary series as I have ever used. The filming (on location) is beautiful and Michael Wood's enthusiasm is contagious.
Movie Review: I WANT DVD's
Summary: 3 Stars
5 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 on DVD.
Movie Review: Excellent for Sr Programs and Learning in Retirement SGs
Summary: 4 Stars
The Art of the Western World video series is excellent up to 1945. 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.Movie Review: art of the western world
Summary: 4 Stars
I have viewed three comprehensive art history video series preparing to send six weeks in Europe. This was the best.The selected material is representive,the research well done.the filming and background music pleasing. I have seen many of the included works in museums and look forward to seeing them with my newly acquired acumen.The modern art section is a little pc and the woman who intimates that western art is built on the exploitation of the female nude is off-the-wall. The section on Florence was my favorite because of its beauty and importance as the epicenter of western culture. No, this is not a boring series except for those who favor Michelob over Michelangelo.
Movie Review: A good solid effort
Summary: 3 Stars
I found these videos pretty good and not in the least boring. Michael Wood and the production team have done a solid effort in presenting such a vast topic in the time allowed. The areas covered are well presented, intelligently commented upon and comprehensive. Well worth seeing a few times.
