Google Art Project

February 2, 2011

New and Terrific Resource

In the last day I have received half a dozen emails with the link for a just released google project. It is very well done and I highly recommend you take a closer look. It is a great example of the power of the internet and the resources that have enabled us to step closer and provide that opportunity for our students.

The site provides you with the opportunity to explore museums around the world. You can zoom in and see details giving you a pretty close feeling of being there. The Visitor Guide helps you get started and has a section with questions and answers. There are 17 museums included and I have the feeling that number will be growing.

Click here for http://www.googleartproject.com/ And you can see a YouTube on the project as well by clicking here: http://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleArtProject

Thank you to everyone who sent me the information. And here is one more YouTube that gives you an overview that is VERY informative of the Art Project.
