VIDEOS FOR MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL ART







All videos are short clips unless otherwise noted; most of these I have used for bell ringers or for inspirational purposes in my middle and high school classes. I started this collection when I taught exclusively 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, but have expanded it since. Now I teach PK-12 grade! I have previewed these for the most part and have found nothing inappropriate, but make sure you check the site, first! You never know! 


Most of the below videos marked as suitable for middle school or Art I would also be useful for upper elementary, probably grades 4-6. Some videos are marked as suitable for high school; these would not likely hold the attention of middle school students.
