One of the resources I found through my PLN was The Google
Art Project. The Google Art Project is a
database of virtual art collections. In
it, students can explore museums from around the world and discover tens of
thousands of artworks, as well as create their own galleries of masterpieces. As an art educator the Google art project
provides a unique opportunity for researching artists, museums and art movements. Likewise, the Google art project is an
exemplary tool for increasing student’s knowledge of artists subject matter, historical
timelines, materials, techniques and styles of creating art. I believe this resource could be an invaluable assesst in the classroom for
assignments designed to expand student’s interest in art and help assist them in
generating new ideas for their own work.
