I didn't realize until about halfway through the video that the picture on the wall behind you was actually a poster. I thought it was just another visual in your presentation and couldn't figure out why you kept showing that guy, haha! Thanks for the awesome videos... super helpful.
Honestly love how you teach everything with a lot of emphasis and repetition. Taking the new AP exam soon and I'm learning in a much more understandable manner than I ever did in class. Thank you!
I really appreciate how you represent the material so well, and without a noticeable bias. So many places make no attempt to be unbiased, so you are really refreshing (and helpful)!
I've watched a lot of your lectures (A LOT) and since a friend of mine remarked that you look a lot like Matt Damon, I can't help noticing it, please don't shoot me because i know your real name :-\
I'll see if I can make something happen, but Louis XIV is such an important topic that I want to make sure it's done right or not at all, but maybe I can belt out an e-lecture on the Stuarts this weekend. Thanks for subscribing!
Sure, Gabby! I love me some Louis XIV and Peter the Great! Are you there already in your class? We're just starting the Reformation, so I was planning on filming some lectures on Calvinism and the Thirty Years' War before getting to Absolutism... but if you let me know your test date, I'll see what I can do!
The first installment of my lecture series on English constitutionalism and the Stuarts will be up in a few minutes! This one is an introduction to the concepts of absolutism and constitutionalism and lays the foundations for constitutional government in England. I'll post the other installments over the coming days, with the goal of getting through the Glorious Revolution by Monday night, perhaps with some discussion of Hobbes and Locke included.
Glad to hear that! When I first started, I rambled a lot - watching Keith's videos prompted me to try to be a little more urgent and economize. I'll definitely keep new material coming!
Hey Mr.Richey, I just want to say thank you and show you how much I appreciate your videos. I have my Mid term exam two days from today and you videos really helped me a lot. Subscribed, and please keep being awesome 😃
I definitely see the differences differently from you. Northern Renaissance was extremely interested in cultivating individualistic identity. Dürer was the main mover and shaker of proposing that those creating art were ‘artists’, moving themselves away from being ‘craftsmen’. Adam Kraft famously inserted himself, lifesize, into his sculptures. Jan van Eyck painted himself into the convex mirror in the Double Arnolfini Portrait and inscribes the wall, graffiti-style, with “Jan van Eyck was here”. Rogier van der Weyden painted himself as St. Luke painting the portrait of Mary. I can’t think of a single northern renaissance artist who wasn’t actively trying to be recognised as an artist, of individual importance.
The test is next Tuesday. We just finished up the Reformation wars and Hundred Years' War and are starting to learn the England and Staurt Dynasty as well as Louis XlV and Louis Xlll.
Your videos have been extremely to my friends and I as we get ready for our practice exam or final for ap euro, thank you so much! I was wondering if you are going to post online the lectures you have yet to post before this years ap exam. Thank you again!
I will post a few more lectures - next in line are German Unification and World War I - before the exam, but this is an ongoing project that will take me another year or two to complete. I'll be posting several more Q&A videos and also plan to do some live Google Hangouts where we can discuss content and test-taking strategies that I haven't gotten around to discussing in the videos.
Hi Tom, thanks for the videos. Just wanted to let you know I'm a 49 year old career changer looking to take the Florida social studies teacher certification exam soon and I am using your videos to supplement my study. I probably have the distinction of being your oldest student. Good job, thanks, Joe.
And the guy HAS taste! He already HAS the deluxe car mug! Good! Canada has seduced another American to the joys of decent & affordable coffee! You can tell we're Timbo's fans up here. The unfolding of History is yielded an interesting phenomenon: Up here, street corners (intersections) all seem to have either a Timbos, Petrocan, or a MAC's Milk ... Which has nothing to do with Plato or Utopia, though some argue philosophy at these locations. Watch the donuts! Too many are fatal.
Great, entertaining video - thanks so much. I was wondering if you were going to update the AP European History Review Guide anytime soon. Once again, thank you!
Hey Tom! Been watching lots of your videos and love them... is there a way you could somehow share the PowerPoints you use? I know that’s a lot to ask but it’d be very helpful
Hi, I have a question here. So was printing developed during the southern renaissance then spread to the north part of Europe? Also, I know that there were many great architectures built in the Southern Renaissance, but were there many distinguished architectural works in the Northern Renaissance? Thanks ! It's a GREAT video by the way!
tyloxapol acetic acid This is a little late but the printing press was invented in germany, northern Europe (technically central but in terms of Renaissance anything out of Italy Is northern) and it spread from there. It was more useful to the northern Renaissance of written works and humanist thought, whereas the Italians spent more time in the arts and architecture. I would assume there are Renaissance architectures in the north, however they're not that prominent since the textbook doesn't mention them. You could probably Google it
jeremy miller These things fluctuate. It's difficult to compete with the juggernaut that is Crash Course... but I was coming up ahead of it for awhile!
