In the Classroom

Use this site on a projector or interactive whiteboard to discuss and informally assess prior knowledge as you start your study of impressionism. Save the site on the classroom computers, and have students look at in cooperative learning groups. An excellent project would be to have students create online posters on paper or do it together as a class using a tool such as Padlet, reviewed here.

This is a beautifully designed online exhibition that showcases Himalayan artistic and cultural items in stunning detail. The narrative explains the significance of items in Tibetan culture and some of the history of this ancient land. Suitable for inclusion in any survey of oriental or East Asian art and culture.

tag(s): art history (105), china (79), india (33), religions (119), sculpture (17)

In the Classroom

Use this site as a resource for a picture walk in your classroom during a lesson on early Himalayan/Indian Culture. Select 10-15 of the most striking images from this site, print them, and hang them in designated areas around the classroom. Have students rotate through the pictures every 30-45 seconds, jotting down what they observe and infer. This activity works best if the selected images reflect different aspects of the culture, such as agriculture, class systems, and the economy. If looking for a graphic organizer to structure the notes more, we recommend using Graphic Organizer Maker, reviewed here.

Here's a nice resource for retrieving short bios and explanations of people and events in the history of art, music, and other cultural disciplines. While the write-ups aren't remarkable, the use of time lines and other graphical devices helps users understand the relationship of the selection to other events and issues. You'll need the Macromedia Flash/Shockwave player, available from the TeachersFirst Toolbox.

tag(s): biographies (96), news (223)

In the Classroom

While the information is not exactly encyclopedia worthy, this site is an interesting way to connect cultural figures together. Use this site as a way to get students interested to continue further research on cultural figures. Provide the site as a resource for any one working on a research project.

tag(s): colors (64), drawing (58)

In the Classroom

Ignore the advertising; the site content is worth it. This is a great website for Kindergarten teachers to access if ever in need of a quick project. There is information on centers, drama, art, etc and all can be set up in a relatively short period of time. Include it on your teacher web page for parents to access, as it provides at-home ideas that parents would also find useful!

This is a web game for kids which explores Van Gogh's paintings and style, complete with examples and commentary. The structure of the site encourages students to understand both what and why Van Gogh created his impressionist masterpieces. Great supplementary activity for an art class, or an independent exploration for the extra-curious.

Discovered in December, 1994, this cave holds multiple cave paintings available on the site as enlargeable images. These images could provide visual stimulation for art lessons on primitive art. (vocabulary is high level, images good for all ages) -

tag(s): france (38), painting (49)

In the Classroom

Use the images on this site to create a visual discovery activity in your classroom, introducing the topic of prehistoric cave drawings. Select 3-5 images from this site, choosing the most powerful and moving images. Placing the images on individual slides, allow students 1-2 minutes to observe each image. During that time period, students should be taking notes based on what they observe, predict and infer about each image. The more powerful and detailed the image is, the more information students can take out. After the class has observed all the chosen images, have a class discussion based on the notes students took. This is a great way to introduce content in a way that gets students thinking, as well as avoiding the typical lecture format.
