painting

In 1993, the Phillips Collection created an educational program based on the Great Migration series of painting by artist Jacob Lawrence. The program, funded in part by the Humanities Council of Washington, DC, produced a documentary film featuring interviews with Lawrence, and a unique analysis of his striking visual representation of history.

A BAFTA award-winning series with John Berger, which rapidly became regarded as one of the most influential art programmes ever made. With the invention of oil paint around 1400, painters were able to portray people and objects with an unprecedented degree of realism, and painting became the ideal way to celebrate private possessions.

Excellent documentary on Chuck Close.

I claim no copyright or permission. I present this series as a resource for my students.

A fantastic 2001 documentary, with a huge chunk exploring Vermeer's compositional methods and techniques. Narrated by Meryl Streep

My rebuttal to Tim's Vermeer:

It's obvious that Vermeer played around with a camera obscura, but the more likely explanation is that he became so familiar with its optical distortion that he 'became' a camera obscura (he adopted its way of seeing as his aesthetic).
