Tweaked Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I'm changing the theme of this thread to cover a broad array of online art resources. Almost all of them are free! If corona-boredom settles in, Art21 has a slew of award-winning mini documentaries on contemporary artists and it's free for streaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Thanks Tweaked! If you, or anyone, wants to start a list of good art movies/docs I'd love to see it. I'm talking anything from general art history to a very specific subject like the movie Pollock (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0183659/ ) I know so little about any that stuff, but want to learn more!

Tweaked Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 The Art of the Steal is a good documentary about the Barnes Collection in Philly. Camille Claudel is a period piece drama about the artists Camille Claudel and Rodin. I believe it is in French with English subtitles. At Eternity's Gate, with Willem Dafoe as Vincent Van Gogh, was well received. For a classic take on Van Gogh, Lust for Life, from 1956 stars Kirk Douglas. Mr. Turner is a 2014 biopic about JMW Turner starring Timothy Spall. American Splendor is a rather quirky movie about the comic book artist Harvey Pekar starring Paul Giamatti.

Tweaked Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Another good tip is to follow art museums on social media or check out art museum websites. A lot will be rolling out online material in the coming days. The National Gallery in DC is doing a cool Instagram feature whereby they are conducting a daily "tour" of a specific gallery, doing little features on each piece of art in that gallery, and working their way through the entire museum one gallery at a time. The National Museum of Women in the Arts is doing a #5womenartists series spotlighting women artists during March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktmoomau Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Don't forget Mount Vernon, they are getting hit hard as this was their peak season! They have a good virtual reality tour, and Hubby is getting more digital content up that will be on the YouTube channel and Live streams. If you need a diversion, I think the lamb cams are up! They have some funny Washington around DC YouTube shorts. AND I think they have lesson plans you can download too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
