01 List of instructional resources

www.aaa.si.edu

A collection of extraordinary breadth and depth. Luckily for us the Smithsonian collection has great searchability, so this collection can be browsed casually, allowing for surprising finds or can be searched very specifically for access to materials such as Preliminary Artworks, such as sketchbooks. A strong attempt at the inclusion of female artists.

Another way into the incredible Smithsonian collection is through the main Smithsonian website, this time a curated selection of Art and Design topics. The scope of this collection differs from the one above in that it presents art from around the world, dating back to ancient civilizations. Diversity is represented in this site as it celebrates not only Western cultures.

www.metmuseum.org

Digital archive from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's archives, a collection of art across time and cultures. The site has excellent searchability and also interesting changing featured art, from Hispanic/Latine Heritage month to articles about How a Drawing is Made.

www.theartstory.org

Aiming to be more accessible and less intimidating than the websites of the major art museums, The Art Story surveys the history of art and makes a strong attempt to represent female artists and artists of color. It also tries to make the movements of art, such as Futurism and Surrealism, more understandable.
