Art Images for College Teaching
"The express purpose of this database, which offers 1,100 images personally photographed on location by
the site's creator, is to freely disseminate images of important art and architecture. The collection is
organized into five categories: Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance & Baroque, 18th - 20th Century, and
Non-Western, but lacks a search for specific images. Each photograph is concisely described and accompanied
by
cross references to discussions in one or more of 20 widely used art history survey textbooks. Emphasizing
that the site is a "Free Use Educational Resource," Kohl encourages any use that is both
educational
and non-commercial, which will help college, community college, and high school AP faculty without the
resources to license expensive collections.

Art Takes Time
a.Understanding the visual arts in "relation" to history and cultures. b.Making connections
between
visual arts and other disciplines. The lessons have been organized in a chronological or timeline approach
to
art history.
The students will see how Art has changed through the years and learn about the artists of that period and
culture. The sequential curriculum help students link art with the time and place in which it was created.
