Hi Travis, Thank you so much for all these videos. Some of us didn't get a chance to study art history but listen to hours of your videos and enjoy them tremendously. What a great service you are doing to a community of people who love art and everything about art. I also think your style is so easy going and so UnBoring. Your students are very lucky!

This might sound strange, but I didn't realise how much I'd actually learn about GENERAL HISTORY from these awesome lectures. I thought it would just improve my knowledge of the history of art, but I'm learning so much more. Thanks so much for uploading them Travis Lee Clark!

I was a bit skeptical of this course because the thumbnail made it seem like a half-assd amateur youtube project but as soon as I got through half of the first class I was hooked and knew that the quality of the lectures was of the greatest standard. He is like a living Wikipedia page, TRULY AMAZING material thank you for sharing this with us.

Excellent, very well informed (obviously), and a great teacher. Wish i had you as my history professor

[Katarinajhy]

I am someone who loves to paint in my spare time! So I was interested in learning a bit more about History of Art. But being able to learn from such a wonderful teacher here is truly splendid. I am so invested into this haha I am taking notes and will give myself some time, but doing at least an hour a day became my new healthy habit :D

[FrogInPot]

I never thought of how much of the real details of material culture that I love about history could be met by someone doing presentations on it from an Art aspect. It makes sense. I don't know about Art, but your series beats almost all other straight out history of lectures I've followed and that's what I do with all of my spare time. Usually they just repeat the same stuff, but because you're covering more details of Art/Culture it is actually covering more and better than most documentaries or lectures. Thank you and please keep at it.

What a legend, these are helping with my current 2710 art history class 😊😊

[karenw]

What an excellent synthesis of information - thank you! You are a wonderful teacher!

[rabarberellum]

Thanks for your lectures, they are a great help. Off point: Nice to hear you've taken the next step in evolution, from meat-eater to vegetarian to vegan to rock-safer :-) .

[melcombrowne]

I come back to this episode. so important and so incredible what this lecture goes through

[willisk]

Can not express how thankful I am for these, so great 🙏

THANK YOU for sharing these lectures!! Travis for president 😄

[ArtistKevinBethel]

So glad you covered Gobekli Tempe. There are so many things right in front of our face that proves we humans have been creatives for 40, 000 years and longer.

Bath UK do called Roman temple is so obviously a Roman remodeling of a structure that is >10, 000 years old which was rebuilt several times.

40.22 - “We can see that people in the Neolithic age are already having better defensive instincts than all 7 seasons of the walking dead”
Yeesh! He’s taking shots at “the walking dead” like there’s no tomorrow haha. Great lectures! Love the presentation and your sense of humour! Thank you for making these resources available to all of us!

[TheProudHeretics]

Excellent videos, I think I am going to go ahead and watch both of your art history courses.

Just wanted to provide one more note/correction though -- Gobekli Tepe is dated to around 10, 000-11, 500 B.P., not BCE. So if we're using BCE it's 8, 000-9, 500.

[RachetLikesOat]

Neither am I in Utah, nor am I a student at UVU (or anywhere else), but boy am I glad I've found this channel.

[dhpdaedalusStudio]

I’m really loving re-learning art history on this channel. I’d love if you covered some of Bruce Trigger’s History of Archeological Thought. I love that book and think you’d do a great justice to it!

[aysenkocakabak]

Thank you for telling, I appriciate a lot. As someone who lives in Turkey, I am ashamed of myself that ı even did not bother ymself going to Göbekli tepe or Çatalhöyük. Those are going to be my next trips.

[MichaelHoward-yvpy]

You should try and take another ceramics class. hang in there buddy ♥

[davidharrison]

Thank you for posting these great lectures! These really get at everything I find so exciting about pre-history - especially that strange combination of the familiar and different.

Is it correct to use the term Indo-European I this time period? I thought Indo-Europeans didn't make it to central and western Europe till c. 3000 BCE or later, and that the populations of Britain were not Indo-European until the arrival of the beaker people.
