PLN

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.
