This page developed by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam offers some breathtaking features that will bring the artist's work to life for your students. Click on the "Van Gogh & Gauguin" link for a beautifully designed multimedia presentation that goes far beyond background information to reveal the very soul of the artist. Another must-see is the virtual 3D tour of the permanent museum collection. It requires the download of a Windows plug-in (directions are provided), but it is well worth it to walk through the rooms, learn about the paintings, and interact with other visitors (a feature that must be monitored closely if used in the classroom).

This online gallery contains a staggering number of works of art - more than 10,000 - organized by artist, country, movement, and name. Biographical information on each artist is provided. Of special note is a "World Literature in Painting" link that thematically connects art with classic literary works.

tag(s): literature (215)

In the Classroom

Use the "World Literature in Painting," to find images to accompany your study of a piece of literature. The images hosted here are small, but the descriptions are descriptive and provide some excellent background on the art and literature. Find larger copies of the image elsewhere, and use them over the interactive whiteboard or projector to introduce interpretations of a piece of writing. Bare minimum, this would be a great way to show the impact the writing had on the culture.

The LIFE Picture Collection offers a vast digital archive of iconic photographs from LIFE magazine, featuring the work of some of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. The collection documents major moments in U.S. history, politics, social movements, arts, and popular culture through powerful, primary-source images. Teachers can project selected photos to introduce historical events, spark class discussion, inspire student photographers, or serve as visual prompts for narrative, descriptive, or analytical writing. The site is searchable and easy to navigate, allowing users to browse by topic, era, or photographer. While images can be viewed freely online for educational exploration, a fee is required to license or download high-resolution images.

tag(s): cultures (292), great depression (32), photography (135), politics (124)

In the Classroom

Use the photos found on this site for writing prompts. Search within the site or browse the subjects offered to find one that corresponds to a unit being studied. A good example is the images taken during the Great Depression. Pull up a select few of the images and prompt students to tell the story of what is happening in each image, the emotions it conveys, and the impact it is meant to have on the viewer. This site would benefit teachers of nearly any subject, especially history, language arts, civics, and science.

Use this site for an in-depth study of 19th century French painter Paul Gauguin. The focus of this interactive, on-line exhibition is his extraordinary work titled "Where Do We Come From?

Each segment is augmented by background text and audio interviews with art historians. This is a high-level site for serious analysis by mature students.

A bad example may be worth a thousand words. This site takes a playful and insightful approach to the best of the worst, providing visual images of "fine art" that, in some cases, defy description. Art teachers will find this to be a useful resource for illustrating what students should not emulate. Projecting this site in art class will provide rich material for discussion on style, form, and composition. Browseable sections include Portraiture, Landscape, and Unseen Forces. PLEASE PREVIEW and select images before projecting in the classroom. A few pieces in the collection are not "school appropriate."
