Dr. Allison Leigh (Associate Professor of Art History) worked with a team of animators at TED-Ed to produce a virtual lesson on the Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. It was published in mid-June and has already been viewed over 400,000 times on YouTube. From the YouTube video description:

Get to know the story of Artemisia Gentileschi, one of the most accomplished artists of the 17th century.

The biblical story of the heroine Judith slaying the brutal Holofernes is featured in countless works of art, including the Sistine Chapel. But the most iconic depiction was painted by an artist who tackled this ambitious scene when she was just 19 years old. Her name was Artemisia Gentileschi. So who was Artemisia, and what sets her depiction apart from the rest? Allison Leigh investigates. (Lesson by Allison Leigh, directed by Luísa M H Copetti, Hype CG.)

Dr. Leigh also had an essay on the history of the teaching artist published in the exhibition catalogue Twenty Years of Marais Press: Imprinting a Campus and Collection.
