Art Access from Art Institute of Chicago

October 19, 2004

The Art Institute of Chicago (the site of my favorite fieldtrips as a Chicagoland schoolchild) has this great site, Art Access, that showcases their permanent collection. Browse by collection (African American Art, American Art to 1900, American Indian Art, Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, India, Modern Art, & Renaissance and Baroque Art). Then click on the individual piece for information and a short essay about the piece. The site also features a glossary of terms, lesson plans, family activities, book & video suggestions, and maps of the collection. Super fun to browse!
