Medieval Art VHS tape, May 29, 2010
This review is from: Landmarks of Western Art 1: Medieval [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I purchased this video tape to use in my classroom to teach some medieval art as a follow-up to a Medieval Latin unit in Latin class. My 11th and 12th graders learned quite a bit about the art.
We had studied St. Pius (Enea Silvio Piccolomini), for example. So, we discussed the art in the Duomo in Siena, where the illuminated manuscripts are located. We also discussed Petrarch, St. Jerome, Venerable Bede, and other Roman authors so the mention of some of them in the video was supportive.
If you are teaching a beginning Latin class, it's not for you. If you are focusing instruction like this for juniors and seniors in an upper level Latin class, teaching Renaissance art, or taking a class in Western Civilization, get the video.
