      Try updating your Adobe Flash Player. I had a similar problem with all videos last week and that is how I got it sorted.

    I volunteer teach art to at risk kids at a drop in center. I'm going to try this method with pastels and action before watching another video and then teach it to my kids. Thankyou for posting these videos.
