Why We Study Art: Crash Course Art History #1

[@Tunality]

“Art helps us understand History as a constructed account” is such an important idea to grapple with!! So many people people treat history as the Truth™️ Can’t wait for this series and glad to see that Sarah Urist Green is hosting it!!

[@kolt9051]

The script was great for this video, great highlight. I cannot wait for more!

[@trishamcmillan8171]

The Yeti is Back!!! I love her sooo much! Been watching since The Art Assignment and I am glad to be back witnessing Her Greatness!!!

[@Dycehart]

HELL YEAH BOIS WE GETTIN EDUCATED TODAY

[@kellyb9613]

I'm so emotional over this whole series: Sarah Urist Green hosting, the new canon, the recognition of the value of art and history. I'm still crying

[@Goku17yen]

relatable

[@nleshin1]

Omg I have missed your voice from your own Chanel and I am sooo happy you are making more videos!! Your voice has always been soothing and your videos are always packed with interesting info and keeps us engaged!! Welcome back!

[@gazorpazorp9798]

She does have a soothing voice. Audio is great too.

[@HmongCrypto]

Which channel is that again? I am familiar with her voice, just don't remember where I heard it from.

[@SuperNova1333]

I haven't been this excited for a crash course series since theater!

[@sadmimikyu8807]

Absolutely!!

[@AccentedCinema]

It's like I'm back in art school again! School anxiety has never been this fun!🎉

[@MrARock001]

I have never gone from so disinterested to so incredibly interested in a subject so quickly! A wonderful introductory episode!

[@forcommenting1017]

Art History is awesome ngl, one of my favorite courses I ever took.

[@acchristianson]

I can listen to Sarah talk about art all day. So glad to have you teaching us again! ❤️

[@MrDietsam]

I keep rewatching Art Assignment videos because of how well they are made and because I always pickup something on the rewatch. I'm very happy to see SUG hosting again, looking forward to this series!

[@Beryllahawk]

Off to a great start! I am loving the way you've framed the concepts, placing them inside familiar language for the younger folks. I'm "old," and terms like "influencer" and "sponsored content" are sensible but not familiar in the same way. So with one choice in phrasing you're not only connecting us to the past, the history that was - but to each other and the history that's Now. VERY impressed and looking forward to the next episode!!!

[@AnotherGradus]

A superb approach to Art History-- continuing the Gombrich-aligned "Art History is History" only with more Sontag, Lippard, and Greenberg type criticisms.

[@rolandtowen2595]

Love love love this series! Would love to see a music history and/or music theory series in the future

[@richclarey]

The Art Assignment was one of the best things on the internet and I am so glad this is here.

[@swiftie930]

I can't wait for the rest of this series! Sarah is so engaging. I've only recently become interested in art, after visiting the Tate Britain museum in London. Now I can't get enough of it.

[@olischues]

This has been a long time coming and I’m looking forward to following this on a weekly basis!

[@CuriousEye2]

If aliens were to visit us and ask "Who are you?" - Art to me is the best answer to that question. It will show them everything about who we are, going through: emotions, wars, love, conflict, development, and everything that makes us, us. Art is the best exploration tool to the wider depths of what "human nature" is. Learning about human nature is thus why we study art, to better understand ourselves, other fellow humans, and leave a mark on earth of our presence and existence.

[@Thetechnicolorchild]

Been with Crash Course since the beginning, so happy to see Sarah have a series! 🥰

[@DareToRS]

I’m so excited for this new series! I’ve missed Sarah’s tactful insight and discourse on the history of art and art analysis since her departure from The Art Assignment. I couldn’t think of anyone better qualified and poised to direct this course!

[@AlexAzureOtaku]

Hearing about the journey to the microcosmos ending because of lack of views has made me more diligent in ensuring the channels I like get all the engagement I can provide, more than ever. Thanks Sarah and team. Looking forward to this series

[@gypsydonovan]

Yay! I’ve been so excited for this series! 🎉🎨

[@estefaniazapatagonzalez1216]

SARAH I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH. I'M AN ART TEACHER AND YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION FOR MY ART CLASSES

[@Kellan__they-them]

I'm so excited for this series!! I studied art (including a couple art history classes) in high school and undergrad, but that was over a decade ago (I ultimately followed my true passion, which is a career in biology). I'm looking forward to refreshers on things I've forgotten as well as learning tons of new stuff.

[@DanielRochester800]

I couldn't be luckier! I have just started a two-year course on the history of art and I am blessed to have your videos to guide me!!

[@jeaninemccarthy7411]

So excited to have Sarah's expertise back on KZbin! Welcome Crash Course Art History! I love the format and look forward to the rest of the series.

[@jerrahaynes1564]

as an artist who's never actually gotten to take a general art history class i've been SO hyped for this crash course. Art history is one of the few things i've had a hard time finding here on the youtube. just getting started but ready to learn!!!!

[@fugithegreat]

I'm so excited for this course, and Sarah is the perfect person to present it! I minored in art in college way back when and therefore got the standard art history treatment, but this is going to be so much more well rounded. I've already learned so much from The Art Assignment!

[@TheGrifhinx]

We are not about to cry but oh my god I cannot believe this is finally here, and YOU'RE finally here, nobody better suited

[@renevelation6586]

Looked forward to this all week!

[@Spectacurl]

Im so happy to having you back!!!! Thanks!!!

[@axelexcel]

so much hype! love my major having a crash course series

[@mattkuhn6634]

I’m excited for this series! It was the anthropological aspect of particularly ancient art history that first broke through for me and got me to appreciate art history as something other than just “weirdly long-limbed babies” as you aptly put it

[@johne.coughlan6824]

So clear concise and yet broad. I think this is a great start. I also like how it dosen't go into the rabbit hole of what is "Art.'

[@lauramolla4198]

The timing of this is fortuitous to say the least, I'm halfway through my Art History class as I careen towards my Bachelor's in Business Admin and desperately need these videos to help encourage me through. Thank you!

[@Centfla60]

Glad to see you back again. Great video. I especially like the graphics behind your words.

[@AlleyBetwixt]

Fab intro, Sarah! Love the animation style as well. This series will have my rapt attention!

[@MariaVosa]

Really looking forward to every video in this crash course!

[@Pookie515]

I'm so so psyched for this series! I miss Humanities so much since college.

[@britneycampbell8696]

I hope this series never ends I’m so excited 🥳

[@joelle4662]

It's always amazing to hear someone talk about a subject they're passionate about.

[@marthazard2]

I’m a high school art teacher! Thank you so much for this video, great summary on why it’s important to study art history! I show all of these to my high schoolers with exit tickets 🎉

[@bjzaba]

So excited to see this! Learning art history changed how I see the world, and continues to inform how I work (as a software engineer) and I’m on the edge of my seat to see how you cover this!

[@JohnWilsonComicsGuy]

Absolutely thrilled with this first episode. It is everything that I asked/begged for when I suggested a CC:AH during the Art Assignment.

[@theresacarpinelli6627]

I'm an art history major who has seen every episode of the art assignment- can't wait for this!

[@dragonharris5465]

I’ve been hoping for an art history series for years, and this is a beautiful start!

[@katieshiban]

I'm so thrilled you are teaching this course, Sarah! I studied Art History back in the 80s, so I am truly looking forward to learning about the artists in your canon! ❤

[@Alex-gn2rb]

Art history is a subject that would never really dawn on me to look into much. Of course seeing it on the crash course channel has me know relishing the next episode,, a perspective of history of its time. Brilliant.

[@weirdral]

I am so excited that you're back! I loved art assignment and am so excited for this series.

[@JuniperVaughn]

Sooo refreshing to hear a professional talking about the reasons why we (in the West) consider some art to be "great" and refer to it over and over again. Excited for this series!

[@thebugbear]

I'm really appreciating the image descriptions document, thank you for putting it together! I've been wanting to make my own Anki deck of artworks and this series couldn't have come at a better time.

[@Rosecoloredstitches]

I’m so excited for this series. I’d also love to hear about the art and science behind art restoration, I feel like that has an impact on how we view art history.

[@queenofhades46]

I AM SO SO GLAD THAT WE'RE FINALLY GETTING AN ART HISTORY SERIES!!! This is a subject that I LOVE and I'm so excited to see this series.

[@KWolf2013]

So so excited for this series, and to see Sarah talking about art again! Can't wait to discover more artists for my personal canon as well!

[@aszaleacalderon5164]

I'm so happy she's back for this series!!

[@murrmurishka]

This is the crash course I’ve been waiting for 🎉🎉🎉 so excited! I also love the calm pace of it, fits the subject so well :)

[@AlinaTurner-g9k]

OMG! I'm so excited, I've been waiting for this all week!

[@hunterheyman8791]

Art assignment is back!

[@jillchristensen5093]

After so many years of Crash Course series we finally get art history! Hurrah!!!

[@LtNduati]

I love Sarah’s videos, from the Art Assignment to Craig Course Art History, I’m so here for it!!!

[@jrimman]

Thank you crash course for taking up this topic. The presenter and the contents are amazing keep up the good work guys. Looking forward for many episodes.❤❤

[@daniellefernandes7510]

great series!

[@moveslikemacca]

i commented that i would love to see "crash course art history" on a crash course video many many years ago and it's so exciting to see it actually happening!!! ❤️

[@rei.illumi169]

Already interested on the topic and this video series had me invested in the topic. CrashCourse surely never disappoints.

[@Rockethead293]

Oooh! A new series! Hey people in 10 years!

[@Davlavi]

Great new series.

[@TheDreadfulCurtain]

OMG you’re back !! Woohoo missed you and your wonderful informative videos and presence on YT so much. 🎉 ❤

[@solbutton1611]

So excited for this series XD! I've always wanted to learn Art History, but could never stick with it and focus. Crash Course makes learning fun and interesting for me

[@MKMonsterr]

Perfect timing, I just got out of my Roman art and architecture class! I'm really excited for this course, I've been hoping for it for years and years! I was able to catch a Mesoamerican art history class, but I missed that same professor's class on African art because she retired! I'm studying at a STEM school, meaning our art history department is a little small, so I'm looking forward to learning about the art history I missed out on!

[@Sciphilhis-gi1wz]

Something that I have neglected my entire life. So it is great to see somewhere to pick up some understanding.

[@chrystal1062]

So happy to see Sarah in videos again! Loving this new series :)

[@Wright_Thoughts]

Most excited I've been for a new Crash Course series in years

[@tranminhquan4531]

Omg omg omg. I love Crash Course from the beginning. Always wondering when will they do Art History. Now it is something come true.

[@geo4483]

I used to watch the Art Assignment all the time!! So excited for this new series!

[@matthew_thefallen]

Oh yess! I was waiting for this for a long time :) Sarah is such a good Art communicator!

[@cecelia8040]

i’m taking an art history class next semester and this totally hyped me up!

[@Oddernod]

So cool, there's so much to look at and learn about. Can't wait for more of them.

[@leahkeith19]

Amazing and gripping first episode. Great job Sarah and Crash Course team!

[@nateweinand4209]

This series is off to a great start! Sarah is a great host!

[@toscirafanshaw9735]

This is awesome! I've always wanted to learn more about art history, but never really knew where to start. :)

[@Mikelovesmuseums]

I’m so happy that art history is finally crash course official 😭😭

[@victoriacsd]

I love the idea of creating or curating your own canon. I think I'll include that in my art class curriculum. It would be interesting to see what the students put together - it gives an idea of how they feel about their time and place 😊

[@tramorester]

Brilliant, I'm really looking forward to this series as I'm a blank canvas on the subject myself. This episode changed my outlook already. Thanks

[@BooksAreMyThing]

How lovely to see you here again! We missed you.❤

[@ohkaymo]

so happy to have Sarah back on my screen again! I've been doing my assignments 🤩

[@ValerieMcMurray2]

I’m really glad it’s back. Good to see you again 🤗

[@robinhahnsopran]

Ahhh, so excited to learn more from the great Yeti! When I saw Sarah was hosting I squealed in my empty living room 👏

[@veganphilosopher1975]

Jumping right into the action! Sure to be one of my favorite series

[@rheavictor7]

Amazing episode, looking forward to learn more with this series. Thank you!

[@stevenminer5033]
