My Fave Artsy YouTube Channels

"I saw it on YouTube." - Elliot, age 13.

There was a time when I thought YouTube was only for the kids. My son, Elliot, sure loves it, and he's always got something interesting to tell me about what he's discovered through the YouTube platform. Recently, I've come to appreciate YouTube, too, especially on a weekend morning when the house is still quiet and I'm enjoying my first (second or third) cup of coffee. Here are some of my artsy faves lately.
