YouTube

There are videos on many many subjects in YouTube. You would have to spend lots of time to search for and look at those that were interesting to you. It might be useful for uploading and sharing teaching/learning videos for the library. In order to choose a video, I went to the DIY section and quite by accident came upon some "Bob Ross" videos. Since last fall I became interesed in painting and even took a few classes during the winter. Consequently, I took advantage of some programs on TV by Jerry Yarnell and also Bob Ross. Both of them really make the paintings look easy. Bob Ross passed away in 1995, but his "Joy of Painting" shows are still showing on TV. On YouTube there are some videos that are spoofs of his shows and quite a few that are tributes to him, and also some that are downright onery. I have chosen one called "Purple Majesty" which is actually one of three in a series of Bob Ross doing one of his paintings. I am only going to embed the first one. If you are really interested, you can go to YouTube and do a search for Bob Ross and you can easily find the remaining two. Maybe you will decide you want to paint some "Happy Little Clouds." Enjoy!
