Recommended Internet Resource Sites

Art/Artists Sites

• Eyes on Art
  The site is appropriate for primary students who are just "learning to look" as well as advanced students of the visual arts. Select from among five activities that progressively challenge students' ability to look carefully at the visual arts. A final Eyes on Art Quiz checks to see if you were paying attention in Art History 101.
• Rings of Passion
  What makes this Web site so useful to teachers and students is the way its images prompt students to compare and contrast. Dividing artworks by theme (awe, love, anguish, joy, triumph) shows commonality of spirit. Once you look at the expertly chosen images (by J. Carter Brown of the National Gallery), however, you see a multicultural interpretation of the theme.  Those who have found interdisciplinary activities and units rewarding because of all the connections students make have a friend in Rings of Passion. Another fine PBS arts site, it combines evocative images,  insightful text, and a handy way to jump students into higher level thinking.
