 Great high school art history video November 2, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I teach in a Christian High School, so have to be careful with the videos I show for art history instruction. Sister Wendy is great. I enjoy her sense of humor - some of her comments are a riot! I always know when to watch for reactions on the faces of the students to see who is really watching and listening to the video. I show her videos to each of my three classes each week - and have been for 6 years (I just replaced my VHS with a DVD), and I still learn something each time I watch them! A half an hour a week of Sister Wendy is good for anyone's soul!!!

I use Sister Wendy in my Art History classes for unsophisticated students who tend to think comic books and video games are all that there is to fine art. They laugh uproariously at Sister Wendy herself, but not at the art she presents. I know it seems juvenile, but the truth is that art tends to intimidate people; some react by deriding it as a defence to their ignorance. Sister Wendy breaks the ice. She adds "sizzle" to attract the viewer with works that might normally be ignored. She allows the novice access to timeless beauty. She melts prejudice with humor and sincere admiration. In short, depite her rather unorthodox methods, Sister Wendy opens minds.

If you love Sister Wendy then there is no need for a review on this collection. She has a wonderful persona and opens up a knew understanding of art for those who know little about this world. Art becomes more than simply a famous piece of artwork or an ancient artifact etc.. because Sister Wendy gives you a different prespective from the inside out! Great work! About time you could get her on DVD!
