Written, Narrated and Edited by La Volpe.

[@LaVolpeWhy]

Edit: Hi, this is one of my older videos from when my narration and audio editing abilities were admittedly a bit lacking, but where I felt I began to hit my stride in regards to editing and presentation. Captions have been added for you to follow along with my rambling self more easily. I've also added citations and details on all artists and their artwork that appeared in this video in the description box above. ‎ A minor correction, but in this video I say the "Mayans of South America," when I instead meant to refer to Central America. Apologies! ‎ __

[@HaMinhsWOrLD]

As an practicing artist I can confirm all of the technical concepts in this video are correct. This is important cuz I've seen many art essays written based on secondary research only without any understanding of art fundamentals. I feel so inspired watching this. Such an informative and thought out overview. Keep up the good work x

Your voice is brilliant; should KZbin never work out for you, you'll always find work as a Bond villain.

Bro the level of research, editing and animation is OUTSTANDING, congrats on that, the content is dense, if you wanna broaden your audience i suggest you make more accessible the discourse and/or simplify the language.

[@TorontoIam]

There is so much for the broad audience on KZbin as it is....let us have something that is challenging.

[@MrCODCLANBATTLE]

Fuk the broad audience catering to everyone robs a product t if it’s soul

[@Man-ej6uv]

the language seems quite clear and simple already.

[@helenaswiatowy7]

shoutout for mentioning Asian, native American and African art. I think that the renaissance, baroque and rococo part would be much better if explained deeper and longer. it seemed like you jumped from renaissance and baroque to romanticism. great job though!

[@MrLerola]

I really wish more channels had such informative videos, the effort you put into this is amazing! Just look at the editing and you reuploading the video. I was never interested in the history of art, but you've managed to keep me intrigued. Keep making videos like this Volpe, you're my favourite KZbin channel now. Oh, And get a new Mic :)

Been looking forever for a somewhat brief , liner, and engaging video on art history. Thank you very much!

[@fionafidela]

This is really awesome! Thank you for the knowledge.

[@WhatsSoGreatAboutThat]

Great video, I think it was worth redoing to talk more about art all around the world. It's a really good overview of art history and how what 'art' is has changed. Will this still be part of a series? It would be interesting to maybe look at contemporary art like the Turner Prize or the more avant garde movements throughout the 20th century (like Dada that you briefly mentioned here). And nice microphone! Which one is it?

[@LaVolpeWhy]

I already had a few drafts written up discussing art in specific sections of the world in detail, but had opted to refine parts of those drafts and include them as segments for this video. You and I both know the complexity of contemporary art, so that'll still be its own video since there's just so much to discuss within it from the last 80 years alone! My foray into discussing art will definitely continue in the near future, though I'll continue to visualise more of my other thoughts for now since I've already got quite a few scripts at the ready and videos in production. As for the mic, I opted for a Philips DVT2510 Dictaphone (its not much, but better than recording audio using my phone) and just fiddled around with compressors in Premiere. Sound has always been my weakest aspect when it comes to creating videos, so I'm glad things are starting to sound clearer!

[@WhatsSoGreatAboutThat]

Yes, I agree! And I think you defiantly need a break from art to explore other ideas given the amount of time this must have taken, haha. Oh wow, a dictaphone! Well it sounds great. :D

[@hl9767]

This is an incredible video. I will show it to my philosophy of art students tomorrow. Thank you.

[@LaVolpeWhy]

Thank you for the kind words, I hope it will provide the basis for discussion and debate amongst your students!

[@artinthechurchmeraolive1098]

Thank you so much for the work and for the further reading list! Definitely makes this video worthwhile as a launching point to narrow down studying art!

[@jenmonroe712]

This is an incredible piece of work. I am looking forward to sharing it with my young students. My only wish is that a transcript be made available to be used as reference during and after viewing. I'll be watching this and taking copious notes next time. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and insights!

[@anareynoso924]

So so cool! I'm studying anthropology and it is impressive how art can serve as a tool for understanding humanity across time and space. As "empty" as an artwork may seem (i.e. Mark Rothko--with all due respect), a message is being filtered out about the focus and thinking of humanity at the time! Thank you for your efforts in putting this treasure together and I look forward for more (subscribed)!

[@BisquitLD]

Rothko is the kind of art you have to see in person, a picture doesn't convey anything. I was also sceptic about it but once I saw a piece in real life it was breathtaking.

[@TorontoIam]

Amazing how Rothko's art is so evocative of the art of the Ndebele.

This was beyond my prescription of beautiful.

[@Vstrum]

Art is any means of expression, so today I think film, animation, music, fashion, paint, photography, sculpture, drawing, and more are forms of art. However, I really think in today’s age the most meaningful and powerful movements are within music, fashion, film, photography. I believe sculpture and painting in the technological age isn’t most representative of what it means to be an artist today. Those practices have been deeply explored and don’t provide creation as wide ranging as the others mentioned. There’s so much to expand upon in what I’ve mentioned and it’s clear they are more impactful on people today.
