Nast, New Orleans & Degas
http://www.homeworkcentral.com/Top8/files.htp?fileid=3D65896&use=3Dhc

The work of the illustrious cartoonist of Harper's Weekly is exhibited =
in
this growing collection about Thomas Nast. The Nast pages are a feature =
of
Harp Week, the fabulous online collection of decades of issues of =
Harper's
Weekly, which are a prime example of how the Internet can bring history =
and
its tangible assets to students. The mini-section called "Interactivity
Among Thomas Nast, New Orleans and Edgar Degas" is a confection of art =
and
history, which includes the explanation that one of Nast's famous =
anti-Tweed
cartoons made a major contribution to Degas' classic painting the =
"Cotton
Office." Also here we learn that in 1867, Nast, a born multimediaist,
created the Grand Caricaturama, a presentation of 33 paintings each 8 =
feet
high. As seated audiences watched in delight, the pictures were moved =
across
the stage, accompanied by a spoken narration and relevant piano pieces. =
Now
we do that with clicks and digital audio.

Hi, all! A student told me about a new website and I checked it out.
It's terrific! Currently they have online many of the images and lots of
info from the "Van Gogh's Van Gogh" exhibit that recently closed here in

interested
the site is ArtMuseum.com. http://www.artmuseum.net/

plus this from todays paper:

Artcyclopedia at http://artcyclopedia.com is a website with a database =
of art oriented websites. Enter the name of an artist and it will give =
you connections through it's own database or connections to other =
websites with related information.=20
=20
I haven't checked these out yet, but thought if I shared them everyone =
could check them out on their own and share back your reaction with the =
group. Do any of you have favorite art related websites? Should we =
start developing a web site resource listing through our list serve?
It was interesting to hear from several of you about your school =
situation. We have fairly comparable schedules in the main. What are =
the things you most enjoy about teaching middle school art? What do you =
find the most difficult thing to deal with in your classroom or school? =

Sorry to have been so quiet lately. Had a shoulder injury that kept me =
off the keyboard for awhile. You've all been pretty quiet lately so I =
am assuming everyone is swamped with the end of the year frenzy. Good =
luck to everyone as we all wind down. Linda K.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------=

One of my professors, Jan Q., sends our information about educational =
resources. I just received these from her and thought I'd share them =
with you. Hope you're not too frenzied with the end of the year wind =
down. I know I'll have to spend some of my summer freedom in becoming =
more familiar with these sites and others. Do you have favorites of =
your own? I'm sharing them on the middle school e-group list too. Hope =
that's ok with all of you. Linda K. in Iowa

Chinese Opera
http://www.homeworkcentral.com/Top8/highschool1.htp?sectionid=3D16785

In unique, new ways the Internet can be used to create artistic =
confections
of theory, history, tradition, and performance. The links in this =
section
include classification of roles, music and instruments,
costuming and stage properties, masks, and links to several Chinese =
opera
companies. The facial make-up link lists the color symbolism of Chinese
opera, which strikes a full chord of human character: -red for valor,
sincerity and unselfishness
-black for toughness and fortitude
-yellow for bravery and cruelty
-purple for loyalty, simpleness and honesty
-blue for toughness and bravery
-green for stubbornness and irritation
Television News Archive
http://www.homeworkcentral.com/Top8/files.htp?fileid=3D64488&use=3Dhc

The Television News Archive collection at Vanderbilt University is the
world's most extensive and complete archive of television news. The
collection holds more than 30,000 individual network evening news =
broadcasts
and more than 9,000 hours of special news-related programming. In August =
of
1968, the archive began taping network news. Abstracts of each day's =
news
broadcasts for every year from 1968 to the present are available here on =
a
clickable calendar chart. This is a
radically new historical source in several ways. Perhaps the most =
astounding
aspect is the almost instantaneous access for anyone with an Internet
connection to what happened at a specific time in the past.
