Tour a Museum from Home
We all know the power of seeing art in person. It’s a totally different experience being immersed in an artwork while you’re standing in front of it. But we can still connect with artworks while staying safe at home. Several museums have opened up their art to the world via online tours and many more have virtual tours via Google Arts & Culture.
Each of these documentaries focus on some element of creativity. Art, music, dance, and design are all emphasized in these films.
Yarn (Independent) – This film “weaves together wool graffiti artists, circus performers, and structural designers into a visually-striking look at the women who are making a creative stance while building one of modern art’s hottest trends.”
The Pixar Story (Netflix) – The iconic brand started from humble beginnings. Take a look at how this animation powerhouse came into its own.
The 100 Years Show (Independent) – Cuban-American Carmen Herrera was 100 years old until her art was “discovered” by contemporaries this decade. Watch how she persevered her entire life to make the art she wants to create.
Ballet Now (Hulu) – New York City Ballet’s Prima Ballerina Tiler Peck is working on creating a groundbreaking mashup performance and only has one week til showtime. Will she make it?
More Art Upstairs (Amazon) – Kind of like American Idol for Artists. You’ll watch as 4 established artists compete in a Midwest competition and the audience votes on their work for a $500,000 prize.
History 101 (Netflix) – At first glance, you’re probably wondering why a history film is on this list. But it’s the way history is told which makes this series so compelling. Through the use of infographics, this series puts historical events in a whole new context.
Score: A Film Music Documentary (Amazon) – What happens when you turn the sound off on a film? It changes everything. Watch how film score composers bring stories to life.
Abstract: The Art of Design (Netflix) – This series will draw you into the millions of possibilities that designers explore every day. It’s like watching innovation happen right before your eyes.
How It’s Made (Hulu) – Speaking of innovation, this series invites you to see how everyday objects we take for granted are made in factories around the world.
Chromatic (Amazon) – This series is one of my favorites because it features so many interesting, contemporary artists. There are so many ways to use each of these episodes in arts integration and STEAM lessons.
