I have the Hockney one, the Thiebaud one on lines, and the other one on
color (forget the name of the artist...Mexican). I have seen the one on
color a couple of umpteen thousand times. It is the one I show my 6th
graders after doing our color wheel mixing and our leaf paintings...you can
see these on our school art webpade. The color video is a good one and keeps
their attention for approx. 40 mins. It flashes back and forth between
scenes and, of course, Pen and Teller are enticing to watch.

The Tiebaud one is a little slower moving but good. The Hockney one wasn't
my favorite and I don't use it very often....actually I haven't used it in
several years.

I've also seen the one on "Framing" and that was boring. The dance one was
great but something I couldn't really use in my classroom.

All of this series used to be shown on educational TV about 5-6 yrs. ago.
Toodles.......
