and it goes without saying that the state of art history/visual culture video essay youtube is a bit dire. in that it like, doesnt exist outside of a few one off videos by general youtubers, decade old recordings of lectures, and random short text to speech videos that are likely ai generated

#we know the wonderful jacob geller whos afraid of red yellow and blue essay #and drapetomania is really fantastic especiall on the visual culture side of things especially with race #(which is one of my biggest personal areas of interest so i might be biased LOL but someone has to be biased about this)#(unrelated but sometimes im in my art history classes which. while in recent years have become slightly more diverse)#(still lean quite white and like. they do their best. theyre willing to listen. but theres a lot of blindspots)#(so the least i can do is be really loud and mixed race in class HDJKFKDF)#but its rough if someone wants some to know more of the beginner stuff. like more accessible for some of the basics #like not just the basics of the theory aspects (although that is important) but also like the basics of the history aspects #hell i have a lot of blindspots with certain eras and movements. dont ask me about medieval art i dont know like anything 😔#i dunno i think theres a gap in educational focused youtube that could be filled? it could be fun #not by me though i cant read a script for shit LOL if u want the bmpmp3 art history video essay then find me irl in a museum and ask me a #question and i will give you my entire bachelors degree in the next hour or two. like nature intended for us art history majors
