VanDamme Academy on YouTube

I'm really enjoying the videos posted by Lisa VanDamme on YouTube. She's one of the many people I follow as I develop my own thoughts on education. My particular favorite is the 8 part seres on the VanDamme Academy's art curriculum. I've never been much for 2 dimensional art. Oh it's pretty, but it doesn't get a rise out of me like dance or poetry or literature does. So watching this and going through the analysis of a painting rocked me a bit, in a toally awesome way. I really would love to go on a museum tour with Mr. Travers and learn how to pick apart a painting. Also, he's taking students to Paris this summer for an art tour. Oh, why not me?

Okay, jealousy for junior high kids aside, here's the first video in the series. I encourage you to watch the entire series, and check out the other videos on the channel.

Last I heard, Luc (Mr. Travers) will be doing some kind of art tour here in Atlanta in April. It's been a while since I heard from him though. I'll let you know if he is.
