Art for All: Making Art History Accessible and Fun
Proposal Abstract for the St. Louis Digital Humanities Showcase
In 2019, I founded Accessible Art History, a digital humanities project aimed at revolutionizing the way art history is taught and learned. My goal for this project is driven by a commitment to making art history accessible to a wide audience, including those with limited access to traditional educational resources. It is my belief that anyone who is curious should be able to find quality, fun, and educational materials without encountering a financial barrier.
To accomplish this, I leverage the power of social media. I primarily use Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube to reach a broad audience and spread art historical knowledge through engaging, short, and long form videos. In my opinion, it is important to meet people where they are to help them access the information. It also opens the door to a global audience. bringing more conversations, bridging the gap between cultures, and opening the discussions to different viewpoints. Through these platforms, Accessible Art History creates a dynamic online community where learning about art history is not only educational but also entertaining and inspiring.
In conclusion, Accessible Art History represents a paradigm shift in art historical education, offering a new model for engaging learners and making art history accessible to all. Thank you for this opportunity to tell you about my passion and my digital humanities project.
