GENERAL LINKS
My
top link seems to have nothing to do with art at all. But here you'll find a personal coach who helps you to free up time from your busy life for special activities - like drawing & painting!
CARE is a Christian charity involved in caring,
campaigning and communicating across the UK. CARE is committed to being
part of the answer in a society which so often asks "who cares?"
My husband and I love walking in the Peak District. This site has some great walks and is well illustrated
This link opens straight into a story based game, but also links to a plethora of art information.
Our hero has activated a time machine to bring people from famous art
portraits into the present day. You must return these people to their
own time, by investigating the painting they came from, and entering
information about it (everything from the history of the period to the
artistic medium employed to create the portrait) into a time machine
control panel that will appear at the bottom of your screen as you move
through the activity.
This site is provided by an art materials manufacturer. Other aspects
of the site include matching 12 famous historical portraits with their
names or discovering works by artists such as Piero della Francesca,
Marsden Hartley, and Dorothea Lange. Fascinating and detailed
information about the artists, the era, the history, the techniques
used to create the work, and more. Learn by comparing artistic works.
Become a frontier explorer, field-guide writer or museum curator on this activity-based site.
An interesting blend of art and literature. Takes about a minute
to load, but worth the wait. Choose a picture from the National Museum
of Wildlife Art, and you are prompted with questions to help you think
about what the artist was trying to show. Create a journal of the
stories you create about the picture. Then add music, and if you wish,
submit your story to be featured on the site. Remember to view other
visitors' stories!
The pictures referred to are not shown, but you can search for them whilst you are online.
An art calendar. Which artists were born or died on today's date?
Look up any date (such as your birthday or anniversary) to see what
happened in art history on that day.
