Great Works Of Art Videos

Description:

A selection of 6 of our online Great Works of Art videos provides middle-school and homeschool students with the opportunity to learn about and increase your understanding of art, and its interpretation of life through the spiritual works of the Chartres Cathedral, Giotto's Arena Chapel, and the Merode Altarpiece.

Examine how the civic pride and religious enthusiasm of the Middle Ages found expression in the Gothic masterpiece, Chartres Cathedral.

Witness how the frescoes of Giotto's Arena Chapel breathed new life into traditional Christian symbols and ushered in the Italian Renaissance. See how Robert Campin's Merode Altarpiece made the Annunciation a miracle with which 15th century Flemings could identify.

Study the themes of warfare and conflict in three of the world's most noted works of art: the Bayeux Tapestry, Goya's The Third of May, and Picasso's Guernica. Study the events leading up to the Battle of Hastings and the Norman conquest of England through the masterful narrative embroidery Bayeux Tapestry.

Witness Francisco Goya's horror and revulsion at the mass execution of fellow Spaniards in his bold and passionate masterpiece The Third of May, 1808. Examine Pablo Picasso's controversial 20th century masterpiece Guernica, which is as much a political statement as it is a work of art.

Then use our online interactive quizzes to discover what you have learnt and strengthen your understanding of the subject.

• Before Zane launched this online video service, our school and homeschool customers paid approximately $14.99 for each of our 250 CD-ROM titles which meant a total cost of $3,750 for the entire library. Our new online video subscription service now enables our customers to use exactly the same K12 material online on those 250 CD-ROM titles but now in video format, for as little as $17.99 per month or $197.89 per year (yes, you even get one month free with our annual service). This means a discount and saving of over 93%.

• The TOPIC TASTER MEMBERSHIP is designed to enable customers to study one Topic at a time for a period of 30 days, however it is likely to be of most use to teachers that want to use our videos in the classroom in situations where the school has not yet purchased a School Subscription License. TOPIC TASTER Membership costs barely anything, $5 a month, even a student could afford this themselves on an allowance or from their paper round, and that's exactly the point, this option is made available primarily as a service to help students with homework on a specific topic and to give teachers or parents the ability to test out our services, take a taster of our videos for review, before commiting to a Full Membership.

• Zane retains the right to vary membership prices as an when required without providing notification to customers.
