Here is a list of artwork collections and art resources for student use
I have lately received some requests to share digital Art resources for Art teachers and students. I went back to my Art Resources section here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning and handpicked for you these excellent websites.
Here is another great resource for history Art teachers and students. ArtBabbel is an excellent platform that features a treasure trove of videos on art and artists from more than 50 cultural institutions from around the world.
Wikipaintings is a great resource not only for Art teachers for all other teachers looking for some highly quality images of public domain artworks. Wikipainings is a project that aims to create well-structured online repository of fine art. The artwork featured in this platform includes both classical and contemporary art.
For those of you looking for free downloadable and re-usable images of art, the National Gallery of Art has more than 25.000 art images to offer you. Each image is accompanied by a snippet of information on the original artist behind it together with an option to browse through related works.
The U.S. National Gallery of Art hosts more than 25,000 images of famous and not-so-famous works of art. Nearly all of the images can be downloaded and re-used for free. NGA Images also allows you to register and create online collections of images. The collections are called lightboxes.
Find yourself musing about Mona Lisa's mysterious smile? Google is debuting "Art Talks," a new online series that sheds insight into the stories behind famous masterpieces and artists.

When Google launched the the Google Art Project in 2011 I said that it was a "must bookmark" for art teachers. Then in 2012 it improved again by adding Street View imagery for dozens of museums featured in the project. Today, Google announced another offering through the Google Art Project.
One of the most popular posts of the last week was 372 Free Art History Books. Writing that post reminded me of a resource that I reviewed three years ago, Smarthistory. Smarthistory is a free online alternative to expensive art history textbooks. Smarthistory features more than just images of notable works of art.
The Google Cultural Institute brings together millions of artefacts from multiple partners, with the stories that bring them to life, in a virtual museum.

Over the weekend I shared 25,000 free images of art that anyone can download. In that post I suggested that the images may be useful in art history lessons. This afternoon I discovered that The Metropolitan Museum of Art hosts 372 art history books online.
Last week, Learning Never Stops posted a great article about a variety of online museums. You need to add over and check out the entire list. Some of their suggestions are history / social studies related and you'll want to be sure to read their reviews of the following suggestions: American Century The Secret Annex...
Yesterday, we wrote about the Wellcome Library's opening up of its digital archives and making over 100,000 medical images freely available online.
