[T]hank you for creating such a wonderful resource for teaching art history. I've taught the survey at a variety of institutions over the past 15 years and have been pretty dissatisfied with the traditional way we all learned the subject. I've been using the Smarthistory site quite a bit—the videos really reinforce key ideas and hopefully, cause the students to think about the material in new and accessible ways.
