- These videos were made in 2020 as a desperate COVID-era attempt to help keep students engaged in learning as in-person teaching stopped. With no support, no resources, a ridiculous "production schedule," and no idea they would become a sort of permanent record of the time, I just threw them at TH-cam. The students mostly didn't watch them, but lots of others did, and that continues to amaze me. I decided to leave them up for anyone who is just curious about design.
NOTE: If you are a current student at Rhode Island School of Design and your professor has sent you here to watch these videos, you should really worry about how much tuition you are paying just to have a teacher sending you to TH-cam instead of teaching you themselves. Just saying...
I ran across these and as lifelong student of art and design I am rather enjoying them.
Thank you Mr Bird, for going to the trouble of an upload!
However, being a bit of an aircraft nut, the aircraft on the left side at
29:09 are incorrectly identified...the WW1 one at top is a Bristol Fb2, and the 4 engine bomber below it is
a B 24 Liberator (I think...the cockpit glazing looks a little odd)
THANK YOU!!!!!!! This is such useful information! There is no way for me to fix it here, but I am grateful to have the information accurate for the future. It is actually pretty challenging to identify airplanes for those of us who are airplane illiterate!!!!!
@@HistoryofID stop shouting;-)...You're quite welcome! I believe that if you have the time, google image search would get close to identifying
m o s t (not all) problematic images
Stephen Priestly has generously offered me lots of really interesting and specific information to help me with some of my airplane details and added:
"A TH-cam commenter wondered if your "Boeing B-17" might be a Consolidated B-24 Liberator. Nope. Better than that, it's actually the sole prototype Douglas XB-19 (Air Corps serial 38-471) - an enormous 'hemispheric bomber' from 1941. When it first flew, the XB-19 was the world's largest airplane but it was quickly eclipsed by the more advanced (and practical) Boeing B-29 Superfortress."
Thought you would enjoy the added detail!
@@HistoryofID thank you Mr Priestly. Well spotted!
Thank you very much for sharing. This is a great course
I started with your "History of ID Week 5: Art Deco" to help me with an Arch history essay. Now I'm just watching these like podcasts...
The first 4 weeks of the class have now been posted for the fall semester! I watch them for the same reason as you :)
I have recently discovered your channel. I am really enjoying your excellent content and interjections of humor.
Great lecture! What a treasure trove these are.
The section at the end of Matt Bird snacking is me at home entire day now.
Really excellent information. The cockpit view of the USS Macon still looks futuristic, 92 years later.
very tiny detail: Hindenburg not berg. Greetings from a fan in Germany
28:02 the flames were not caused by the hydrogen, they were caused by the nitro cellulose lacquer, which is used to to paint the outer fabric. This is colloquially referred to as DOPE, used on fabric aircraft since 1903.
These are absolutely great!!!
Loved this video. So fascinating, I learnt a lot! 🧐 The humour is fab too 😂
HAHA! Pretty good Tom Hanks! Such interesting history I knew nothing about! Thank you!
Again. Thank you for such great info.
Thank you for this! LOVE it!
Love your videos!
I have completely lost 2021. I keep looking at the dates these were posted and thinking it was just a year ago. It’s 2022! 🤦🏼♀️
great video! we want more :)
24:00 Hindenburg. Here is a VR tour I came across a while ago. " VR Tour - The Zeppelin Hindenburg " on the channel " InRangeTV "
WOW thanks for that great suggestion!!!
14:10 That $ 0.50 stamp in 1933 is $ 10.19 in 2021
32:21 Proto " I am not a cat "
As a burgeoning artist and a lover of flight, I really enjoyed this installment. At 29:10 or so, you're right to question the Sopwith Camel designation...that's a Bristol F2b: thevintageaviator.co.nz/projects/f2b/f2b-history Wonderful videos...I've recommended this series to a dozen people already.
AWESOME!❤ BEAUTIFUL ❤ THANK YOU VERY MUCH 😁
