Idea Channel classic clips for art (and arty ideas…)

Let me introduce you to the PBS Idea Channel…and please, get on YouTube immediately if you haven’t watched Mike Rugnetta in these lively clips! They can be great conversation starters in the classroom, and often become those ‘tell me, what do YOU think?’ moments. Here are some of my favourites.

My students really enjoyed looking at some of these…asked them to do one for homework att to a task where they had to discuss some other work alongside it in groups…found that many of them had watched, or skimmed at least, all of the clips. Obviously very engaging stuff.
