For me, the Internet is a research, learning and entertainment tool–it is the world at your fingertips, a virtual encyclopedia and a classroom.
Can you use the Internet to learn about the arts? Yes, Yes, Yes. Here are some ideas.
- virtual tours of museums
- Classes on art are abundant on the Internet, just search by technique or medium
- Great pieces of literature can be read on-line or downloaded to tablets, just search for the titles and authors
- Search “children’s art activities” and you will get enough ideas to fill a lifetime of weekends
- Museums have great kid’s pages – These are SO, SO Cool and fun for adults too!
- Baltimore Museum of Art Matisse Interactive
- Walters Art Museum Click the PLAY button at the top of the page to go on Walter’s Quest
- Smithsonian Dinosaurs
- Destination Modern Art at MOMA
