Customer Reviews

Really informative series
I am a practicing artist and really enjoyed listening to other artists share themselves and their art in a very intimate and informative format.

Keep a notebook next to you when you watch this DVD!!!
Powerful, fast moving, comprehensive, well researched, resourceful, well filmed, comfortable to the eye, I could go on and on describing this brilliant work by PBS. This feature is like a tour to various artists' studios and exhibitions without leaving your chair. I loved it so much I ordered the 1st & 2nd seasons, which come together by the way on one DVD.

They should add this tagline to the DVD box: "Inspiration GUARANTEED!" What are you waiting for? Click 'Add to Shopping Cart' right now.

A Useful Tool, as well as Inspirational
I've been using the PBS Art21 Series in my Art Appreciation and Introduction to Visual Arts classes for about four years now. There is no other tool I have that can make this subject as engaging as this series of interviews. Teaching in small towns in the midwest presents a particular challenge in finding nearby galleries or artists' studios to visit for a "live" interaction... so these fill that void. AND the best part - [...] has a substantial amount of teaching materials to go along with the videos!
Beyond that, I just find this series to be extremely inspirational and informative, being an artist myself.
