This unique web-based resource provides access to a culturally diverse network of contemporary international artists, and explores connections between artists' works and contemporary social, political and cultural issues.
Exploring Themes in American Art
This teaching resource from the National Gallery of Art (in Washington DC) consists of ten illustrated essays, image pages, a list of featured artists, a glossary, and a bibliography containing suggested references.
In this project, people make small pieces of art and leave them in the community for others to find. Teachers can set up an account on Found Art for their classroom (to protect student privacy). Students can make their art and put the classroom user name on the art. When people find the art and enter the classroom user name into the site, they will be able to leave messages for the students.
