Editorial description(s):

From School Library Journal
Introductory chapters explore the history of art education and critical-thinking skills along with practical suggestions for utilizing the Internet in art research. The majority of the book, however, provides exhaustive lists of Web sites that feature works of art, biographies of artists, background information, critical reviews, scholarly treatment of art topics, and museums. Arranged chronologically, with an emphasis on Western art, each chapter provides briefly annotated Web addresses complete with date of access, a summary of the sites, and discussion questions and activities. A list of frequently used general resources is especially helpful and includes art-education programs and associations. Although it is inevitable that some sites will no longer be accessible or valid, this substantial resource will undoubtedly set the standard for using the Internet in art education.

Use the Internet to teach visual arts and refine students' critical thinking skills. Based on the Discipline-Based Art Education program, a proven art instruction program that teaches everything from the creative process and art history to criticism and aesthetics, this guide provides Web sources--and guidelines to evaluate these sources--on painting, sculpture, drawings, prints, and architecture from prehistoric and ancient Middle Eastern art periods through the Renaissance and 20th century.




Reader review(s):

A first-rate and "user friendly" instructional guide, August 8, 2003
Compiled and written by Pamela J. Eyerdam (and part of the Libraries Unlimited Professional Guides in School Librarianship Series), Using Internet Primary Sources To Teach Critical Thinking Skills In Visual Arts is a extensive catalogue of excellent web sites which are especially useful for refining a student's critical thinking skills. Based on the Discipline-Based Art Education program (an all-encompassing educational program that covers the creative process, art history, criticism, and aesthetics), Using Internet Primary Sources To Teach Critical Thinking Skills In Visual Arts is a first-rate and "user friendly" instructional guide which is enhanced with guidelines for evaluating and making the best use of suggested sources, and especially recommended as a supplemental resource for traditional classroom educational curriculums and home school curriculum development in the visual arts.
