Educate.Today videos in its Arts collection highlight artists in the fields of dance, music, theatre, and visual arts.  Through video profiles, stories, tours, archived programs, and Q & A and topical segments, viewers go inside the head space, studio space, and performance space of the artist to experience the creative power of the arts first hand.

Sample videos are provided here in McGraw-Hill’s curriculum areas of visual arts, music, and theatre.  All sample videos are accessible by clicking on the thumbnail image to the right or via the hyperlinked title below.
