Subject: Art History: Network Nuggets
The Community Learning Network (CLN) has a new 'Art History'
theme page. The links include art timelines and meta-lists
of art information categorized chronologically. You'll also
find art history study and report-writing guides, resources
related to finding an art-history related career, a text-based
site with information about the history of photography, art
history for kids (which also has some text-based ideas for
art lessons), and the Okanagan University College Fine Arts
page with text information about the history of Canadian art.
CLN's Art History Theme page:
http://www.etc.bc.ca/tdebhome/themes/art_history.html
As you might guess, many of the links from this location are
best viewed with a graphical browser and some of the images
will be slow to download. One link that has been structured
in a way that allows you to move around quickly (e.g. from
thumbnail-size images to more detailed pictures) is the
"Miles of Styles" site. I recommend this site for middle
school and above because it is well organized and includes
thoughtful group activities. It also incorporates many links
to related web pages, such as sites that provide information
about the Spanish Civil war as part of the Picasso section
and a "stone age food quiz" as part of the section on cave
art. This format encourages a cross-curricular perspective
of the art era being studied -- hyperlinks provide immediate
access to a whole web of related ideas.
