Not sure if everybody knows this……..Netflix has a lot of art movies available for instant streaming.  Here is a sample queue:

Netflix queue full of art movies ready to stream.

Andy Goldsworthy - Rivers and Tides

At this moment, Netflix costs $8/month to stream – less than the cost of a single adult movie ticket. It streams to my laptop, iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Wii, etc….(everything except the computer my classroom).

Which reminds me…..many of these movies in their entirety will NOT be suitable for the elementary art room. Please watch first before watching with your students. Appropriate clips from these movies may be available on YouTube.

Netflix has even more art movies available on DVD, although there is a separate price for that subscription.

Do you have a favorite art documentary? TV series? Please leave a comment.
