National Gallery of Art

This is a great site showcasing the national collection so close to us in Washington, D.C. If you can’t take a real field trip there, this is just as good and kids can access related information at their fingertips to write research papers; easy to use; for all ages. Also very fun interactive projects under ‘kids’—make and print your own art!

Awesome Library

Very good resource for art lesson plans and other educational information. A database with links to other valuable sources, so it’s a good place to start. Manageable list; brief lessons that are interesting; for all levels; cross curriculum and multi-cultural—it has info in other languages which might be helpful to ESL students. Drawbacks—more information with each lesson plan would be helpful.
