The Great Art Explained YouTube channel

Over the weekend, based on recent web searches I suppose, YouTube suggested a video about Vincent van Gogh from the Great Art Explained channel.

Image source: https://www.youtube.com/c/GreatArtExplained

​Another video that I noticed in the channel, after viewing the one suggested, was about Hokusai's Great Wave:

• The Great Wave [of Kanagawa] by Hokusai (2021.05.17, 17:00)

​That particular woodblock print had been a student's choice of favorite artwork for a short in-class presentation last week.

The clear, deliberate explanations in videos on the Great Art Explained channel, with closed captions available, would make excellent resource choices​ for extensive out-of-class listening, reading-along, and shadowing practice.

• What Teachers Can Do to Boost Student Motivation - Education Week

  "Researchers have identified four specific ways to nurture a sense of intrinsic motivation in students. In this video series, educators and authors Larry Ferlazzo and Katie Hull Sypnieski discuss these elements: autonomy, which is helping learners feel that they have a choice in what they do and how they do it; competence, or creating situations in which students feel that they are capable of doing what they are being asked to do; relatedness, or doing activities that help students connect to others; and relevance, or making work seem interesting, valuable, and useful to students’ everyday lives" (¶1).
