That's very interesting. Nice transitions. Makes you notice how similar the faces actually are. Proportionally especially.

I can't access the page; is there a title to this video that I could enter in the 'search' field on youtube's home page?

You can find it by typing in "women in art". It's the first video that comes up with the caption 500 years of female portraits in western art.

Thank you for the clarification.

That was absolutely incredible! I also liked the 'Women in Art Elektro". That was really mindblowing, I watched it at least 3 times...did anyone show it to their students? What was the reaction?

Excellent video. Does anyone know of a program that morphs images similarly to the video. I’m certain there must be. I would love to morph my students pictures into a video like the one displayed. I’ll do some research and get back with additional resources. In the meanwhile, if anyone has any info on this, let me know.

I loved the video. I want to see how I can incorporate this into a lesson for my class.

My all-female classes will love this video! Thanks for the recommendation.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. This would be a great resource to include in an abstraction lesson. Many students think abstract art is anything that doesn't look like what it’s supposed to be. You can clearly see a direct connection and transition from the realistic to the abstract and conceptual portraits.

Do you get to use You Tube at your schools? We have a block for that and any other videos. Is there another way to get the videos so my students can watch it? I am not part of the "hip" crowd, I guess.

We have it blocked at my school as well. You can ask your IT department to temporarily release the block for the period you wish to have your students view the video. I know they have the ability to do this whether they will or not is up to the school. Good luck

There are also free youtube video capture programs available. Just Google the topic, and several will come up. Unfortunately, Google is blocked at my school.

The video is really well done. I don't know if the author would post it on Teacher Tube or not. I am able to access videos on Teacher Tube at school. For videos that we can not access at school I usually use a thumb drive and save them to the thumb drive. I was amazed at how similar the shape of the faces were. The general shape and size of a human being has not changed much over the centurys. My architecture book for my classes was written prior to the construction of the World Trade Towers in NY. The book has a concept drawing of what they would look like. While the styles have changed the counter height, basic cooking items, asile sizes, etc. have not really changed much. The book becomes a great discussion point when we talk about designing houseing that will be used for the next 100 years. I think this video could be used to launch a discussion about change in Design over time.

I thought the video was very interesting. In addition, I did not realize that there was such a thing as Teacher Tube. I came away with two useful resources from this conversation!

Thanks for this video and for letting us learn about Teacher Tube. Sometimes we have some great ideas that the entire country should see that is great stuff - not negative publicity.

Finally a video website that can be accessed through the school. This looks like a tool that could be used in any subject area/lesson to show change over time or transformations.

Interesting video. I'm thinking of using it as a moment of break between activities. Thanks for sharing.
