The Art Explorer website from the Art Institute of Chicago
is an excellent resource for art educators. The site provides accurate information
on the museums Impressionist and Postimpressionist collection as well as great
visuals. Art Explorer offers images, videos, biographies, timelines, as well as
online games to deliver the concepts and information to the viewer. The website
could be used for the explanation or description stage in the learning cycle.
Students would be able to identify key concepts of the Impressionist and
Postimpressionist art movement.
The interactive presentation of the information would increase
engagement of the students’ attention. The website could easily be integrated
into any current art curriculum addressing multiple learning styles with the
visuals, audio and hands on activities. Art Explorer is easy to navigate. The
user is not easily lost, and can navigate the site with ease. The main banner
is displayed on each page allowing easy access back to the homepage. Students
should be able to successfully navigate their way through the program with
little to no difficulties.
Looks like a great resource. Hopefully you can use it!
