Hah! I'm an art history prof and just discovered this. You are a GEM!!! Thank you and I'm so pleased you have so many subscribers.

[@maaizelaa]

Thank you so much for this video, I'm starting the career of art history next year and I was so scared about how is going to be but now I feel better you're great😅

[@psikochick2]

Thanks so much for posting this I'm highly considering going to college for Art History. I've looked thru the comments and will check out that website for the book sources u posted. I've been getting pdf's online (Gardner's) and a website called The Met Museum is a VERY EXCELLENT FREE RESOURCE FOR QUALITY ART HISTORY BOOKS & RESEARCH

Thank you so much! Anki is exactly what I need! (Surprisingly it is also in my language-Czech.)

[@gustavopimentel2913]

very good!

I'm so glad I found this, it's helped me ease my nerves for my Art History II final! You are a saint! 🙏

[@schoolofsketching_ru]

👩🏼‍🎨Thank you for the great tips! Really enjoyed the video ✍🏼📽

[@TeamEPICv]

Great vid, most of these points can be applied to other aspects of college.

[@NikolaTeslaReborn]

I hate art history.

[@mx8958]

Hi art talk i want to be an artist when I grow up I'm 14 years old and I'm trying to decide what to to study for university I'm trying to study the art history right know but I'm not sure yet do you have any advice for me

[@littlearttalks]

+Memo 22 Hi Memo, my advice is to expose yourself to many different things and see what appeals to you! I have a video on books to start with if you're interested in modern art: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJiagnWCaZl4l68&lc=z12gwpepjkfgxhh3g22iivkovzfutvjru04 but of course there are many different time periods/places that can be interesting. Try going online and looking at a bunch of art, or going to the library and browsing the books they have. Be open to things that you might not otherwise think about! Good luck :)

[@steveli3163]

thank you for your tips. Actually, it is really my first time to take those kind of art history class, I was kind of worry about that before watch this video.

[@thearthistoryhappyhour4214]

I absolutely love all of your videos! As a largely self-taught art historian, I can't agree with your methods more!

[@arthistorywithheathergray]

This is wonderful! Thank you! I am going to show this on the first day of class to my Art History students :)

[@betsyrogstad]

Hi "Little Art Talks!" I love, love your work! Do you think you could come up with a: What IS Art talk? I'm a high school art teacher and would love to have a spring board to delve into this huge question for students to discuss. Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@littlearttalks]

+betsyrogstad Such a huge question! I've been deliberating over how to approach it myself :) Definitely will have something coming out regarding this. Thanks so much for watching!

[@iridiansanchez8617]

Hello, I'm interested in becoming an art consultant after possibly getting an art history degree. Is it hard to find jobs as an art consultant or with only a bachelors degree in art history? I'm from Illinois

[@evoboiabc]

+Iridian Sanchez You will probably need a higher, more advanced degree or somehow gain experience in your interest.

[@LuisNgchongJrArt]

nice video

[@spicyramyun7834]

I was thinking of taking a 300-level Art History- History of Photography course as an elective, but I have absolutely no art background, so I'm not sure if I'm prepared to take it. Do you have any advice on what to expect from this type of course?

[@littlearttalks]

+Spicy Ramyun It might be really challenging in the beginning (I have no idea since it can vary so much with the professor), but if you're interested, you should do it! Talk to the professor and ask for their advice. If the course is really advanced and they think it'll be hard, at least they will likely recommend another course that is similar or a beginner course that will prep you and you can come back next semester. If you are able to take it, make sure to prepare by familiarizing yourself with relevant, common key terms. If there is a term they use in lecture that you're not sure of make sure to look it up as soon as you can. I imagine that's one of the things that people get lost about, since the professor may assume that you already know certain terms/ earlier periods of history. Don't be afraid to ask questions, and if you have a lot of questions go to their office hours (or your TA/GTA's office hours) to get more in depth answers. Lastly, enjoy the art! :)

[@spicyramyun7834]

Little Art Talks Thank you! I'll ask the instructor for a syllabus. I feel kinda nervous about the course, especially since I'm not familiar with how to write Art history papers and analysing pictures. I'll need to think about it some more. Thanks again!

[@GilMarinho]

Hi from Brazil honey! :)

[@dalazcano]

very useful! thanks :)

[@locyfelix]

Hello Little Art Talks, I would like to ask a question: how does the university level Art History course differ from the AP exam course in Art History. Based on some online tutorials I've attended here on KZbin, the AP course seems already very demanding in terms of the art pieces and the number of art works one is supposed to be au fait to meet the challege of the final exam. So if one does a uni course in addition to the high school course, what are the additional skills that one could acquire that one might not have gained through the AP course? Would you say art history at university is more difficult than medicine in the end? Or would they be on par on the scale of the required ardour from one to 10?

[@parwatikashyap2906]

I forgot to attend my earlier class and I'm now in trouble 😂😂

[@Mister_Soyuz_on_YT]

Terminology, Images of Arts and th air names, free response questions, and cities. There is sooooo much!!! I have the e-book and read but have no clue what to learn. I am passive learning. How to retain all information from each chapter in a week or two days

[@yichentao4270]

That's great. Excecpt I didn't found this until it's final now.

[@jigmetenzin1194]

Helped alot for my final sem essay. Perfect ly cut tips....thanks.

[@chukd5632]

I love your enthusiasm and cute smile

[@1book1review]

I wish someone had told me how to best study and that I would have listened. I remember thinking while studying for my exam that I did it wrong. I just focused on fun and interests, instead of actually learning a lot of things.

[@littlearttalks]

I thinking finding fun/interesting things is really important to learning! But lots of people have trouble finding it, or don't really realize it can be found in that topic ("Oh, I'm not a math person" kind of mindset) I had a comment on this video on reddit, where they said, all you have to do is read. Then read some more. That's it (Or something to that effect). While yes, you will learn, I don't think learning is the same as doing well in school. At least in my experience in a public American school, knowing how to take tests is such a crucial leg of all the things that will make you successful! I know super smart people who never did well in school and struggled with the grading system, and then people who get really great tests scores but don't really understand how to apply that knowledge outside of a multiple choice test. Kind of sad, but that's the reality lots of kids face. Unfortunately kids have to learn how to do the 5 paragraph essays and multiple choice tests to "prove" they're smart enough to go on to higher learning or having the right opportunities to do what they are really interested in. Or maybe even finding that interest in the first place. Hopefully this video can share some tips to those who struggle with that. Do well in school, have more opportunities (hopefully some are the right ones for you!), and go on to the good stuff. :) Not the only way to get there, but the most conventional (easy?) way.

[@1book1review]

Little Art Talks Don't get me start on the testing system our education system relies on. I have always been one of those who was bad at test taking but very good at understanding the subject matter and it drove me nuts (well a little at least) that my friends who didn't really understand things still wrote better tests than I did. Tests are the main reason I don't want to teach at public schools, turns out I'm just as awful at designing and grading tests than I am at taking them. lol. I guess I don't understand them.

[@littlearttalks]

1book1review Very true! What is it like at the school you teach?

[@1book1review]

Little Art Talks I teach at a private language school for adults. It's a combination of e-learning and small check up classes. So people prepare a unit on their own and in class I just check if they can do all the stuff, and we talk a lot to give them practice there. It is super fun as it is relaxed and no grading pressure.

[@gu-infinitevarsity7107]

Nice tips.. Nd cute smile...🐵

[@israelflor8817]

Thank you Little Art Talks now I have a better view on how to study for my midterm :)

[@littlearttalks]

+Israel Flor Good luck on your midterm!
