During a recent trip to San Francisco, I met James Earl. James until recently was teaching at the prestigious Alt School in San Francisco and was heading to Turkey to teach at an international school there.
During our conversation, I discovered that James was a famous You-Tuber. And he used You-Tube to teach Art History. It sounded interesting, especially since my knowledge of Art, History and Art History was close to zero. And while I've always wanted to learn more, I just hadn't found an interesting way to learn the subject.
And thus began my education in Art History. At James' College of Art History on YouTube.
You can view and subscribe to James' channel at:
https://www.youtube.com/AmorSciendi
There are several playlists that the Amor Sciendi team has created and include over 58 Art History Videos as well as videos to watch before visiting places such as Rome. Spain, Paris, London, New York and Florence. There's also one of American History through Art and several others including a surprising one on Cheese.
And all of the videos are extremely informative and well scripted, my favorite is "Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man of math".
You can hear the background and the ideas behind Amor Sciendi from James himself.
And if you love James' work, you can help support the project:
