ideas on how we can expand our offerings to KIDS on our site.

Yale Center for British Art
Three Concurrent Exhibits, on Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, and Henry Moore.
Good lead page with pictures, small. Articles of criticism on each exhibit.
But relatively little for you to see. Too bad.
And these are amongst the best of British artists.
This is a well-endowed university. It should consider the needs of local schools.
Added Mid-January 1999

Philadelphia Museum of Art
Wanted to see Jasper Johns: Process and Printmaking, since I make prints.
Alas, critical article, but nothing to see.
Museum does have Web Projects up.
The virtual computer crashed my system. Be careful!
But there's a photographic study tracing the U.S. travels of Thai students.
Added January 17, 1999

Ruediger Appel's Site
Set of animated Wassily Kandinsky Motives. Beautifully done.
Interactive. Great site. Go explore!

WebMuseum, Paris
This link supplied to us by Ruediger Appel.
This site offers thumbnails and full screen images of Kandinsky's work,
along with critical articles.
If you haven't time for anything else, see at least Blake's "The Ancient"
150 kb. Takes a while to load, but it is worth it.
And don't overlook the index
of painters whose work can be found on the WebMuseum, Paris site.
Added January 18, 1999

Bodleian Library, University of Oxford
Will allow you to make a copy of some wonderful illustrations
for your own personal use,

and make their own copy. Site well worth many trips.
Added Mid-January 1999

Sotheby's
This site loads quickly and has a wonderful section on Old Masters,
with remarkable details shown. It's small, but enough to give you a taste.
Be sure to click back and forth from detail to whole painting.

British columbia Ministry of Environment, Lands and ParksSite with lots of Geographic Information Systems Information. Important for understanding for career development.

The Bear Den
Great site. Picture of each species of bear in natural habitat.
Bear Den Photo Gallery takes a while to load, but has
wonderful nature photos to which you are invited to add, if you have
a bear photo. Intuitive linking, so that you don't get lost.
Good place to take kids who want to study bears. A NY Times
review of the site quoted Don Middleton, who runs the site, as
saying bears are "majestic pinnacle predators who should be left alone
for the most part, only studied from a distance and also
as harbiners or sentinels of the sustainability of our last remaining
wilderness areas."
Added Mid-January 1999

Video Clips of Alaskan Wildlife
You'll need Real Audio for this one. Video cameras were placed
on Gull Island in Kachemak Bay. The wildlife grew used to them, and these
clips are the result. You can see some images, even if you can't run the video.
Added Mid-January 1999

Vintage Flying Museum
A Fortworth museum. Great site for those of you interested in planes! Contains:
A Flight on a B-17
Unlike some of our art museums, this one offers you something to see!
There's a delightful set of photographs from the opening day of the museum
of a flight over Fortworth by a B-17. The photographs are extraordinary.
Well worth the wait for the page to download. Wait for the whole page.
Thanks to Professor Dave Bradfield in Music at CSUDH for sharing this site.

Link to The collection. Good site.
The Santa Barbara Museum of Art
Has beautiful Monet, a Matisse that I like, and lots more.
Nice Web site. And only a short drive from L.A.

Royal Academy, London
Nary a picture on the site! Three photographs of people snapped
at receptions or classes in the galleries. This is
where I saw the most beautiful Goya I've ever seen, gentle pastels!
It traveled to Chicago and then on here to L.A. Hard to believe
that the Royal Academy would offer a Web site with no paintings to see.
Well, considering the revolts of past artists against the academies,
maybe it isn't so surprising.

It lets the viewer take part. I don't think it's successful as done.
But a variation might work. Consider it.
