2:55 , the big issue of western civilization in relation to Art. Being more teachers than aware people of what they are 'teaching'. That is why we need more masters like you El!!!
As always, this is a great video! I am disappointed that y’all aren’t listening though. I have been posting a very basic suggestion in your comments sections, and I will continue to do so until someone takes notice. This TNT (title and Thumbnail) is devoid of useful information. Which means…..you guessed it, no one is going to watch this video. Yes, a few of us will. But your content should be getting a ridiculously larger amount of engagement. I see you over on Instagram asking for money, so it seems like you must not be sitting on huge grants…so it’s very puzzling to me, that here you are with the hard part done, the content is made, and instead of giving it the little bit more effort to get it seen, it just gets posted on UA-cam as if this is the same as PBS. Do yourselves a solid and make functional TNTs for UA-cam, which will vastly change your outreach, and very likely solve your financial need at the same time. And for heavens sake, please do this BEFORE you use artists time and clout to make little begging videos for Instagram.
If people have to hunt down information, to learn if they want to watch the video, guess what? It’s too late, they have already moved on. The proof is in the numbers. This video has been up for 3 days and it only has 4K views. Completely unacceptable. Laughably unacceptable considering that Art21 has 127k subs.
What should the title be?…that’s a great question, and one that deserves several days of time and energy from a copy writer and an art director. So don’t destroy me here as I just throw something off the cuff, but how about- “Inside the mind of one of the world’s most influential artists.” Or how about “ impossible to categorize art, breaks rules and starts conversations “ and then of course the thumbnail is an actual image of some of the art.
Cory, Yes, I see your point about being more descriptive with a creative title to pull the audience in and stay for a while. However, videos on artists rarely get thousands of views. I adore Anatsui’s wall structures so just having his name in the heading did draw me in. Love the artists highlighted in Art21. Maybe they should listen to you and play around with titles for their videos and see if that helps with viewerships.

Fantastic, beautiful work.
Love.
I have 2 PBS DVDs of Mr. Anatsui: Civilizations and Art21.

There is lots of information for the viewer. Just click ‘more" and you can read a detailed description on the theme of the video and about the artist.
What should this TNT say instead?
