Art Images for College Teaching (AICT) http://www.mcad.edu/AICT/index.html

A site prepared by All Kohl, Minneapolis College of Art and Design. This is a free-use image exchange resource for the educational community providing digital images, alternative views, site context, details, and closely related works for images used in 13 basic, art history survey tests. A textbook concordance facilitates searches. AICT also makes photo-CDs available to educational insitutions. Link to CD section http://www.mcad.edu/AICT/html/catalog.html

Museum Education Site Licensing Project (MESL) http://www.gii.getty.edu/index/mesl.html

MESL brought together museums, colleges, and universities to explore the educational use of digital images. The project took place between 1995-1997. For a report see Images Online: Perspectives on the Museum Education Site Licensing Project AND The Cost of Digital Image Distribution

The most significant finding was that digital images will not be cost effective until a critical mass of material is involved. Start up costs were high but decreased over time. Yet, digital technology will not reduce the cost of education because training, maintenance, and licensing costs will replace costs of materials and cataloging in image libraries. However, network access to images and there descriptive metadata will improve students' access to these works and increase their computer literacy.

The Web of Art & Culture

Kathleen Cohen has found that using digital image tutorials has freed her to devote more classroom time to discussion. She has developed a CD-Rom for sale at cost to educational institutions. Email cohen@email.sjsu.edu for more information.

The California State University Image Consortium Project is developing a core collection of copyright-cleared digital images with supporting data for the first half of the Art History/ Architecture Survey Course. Sample databases and a concordance are available at http://134.139.203.108/ [password= cdl], or http://206.159.111.20/, and http://130.65.200.178.

California State University Image Consortium http://206.159.111.20

California State University Image consortium, developed by the Visual Resources Curators of the various campuses of the CSU System, contains public domain images of world art from five basic texts (Gardner, Janson, Stokstad, Trachtenburg and Kostof) organized with EmbARK’s Web Kiosk. Review: The site is a searchable database and can also be explored by portfolio or by an index tree. Searching is very slow. When you finally get to the thumnail images, there are two buttons which give access to more information, either about the object or about the artist. (This links to relational files, so one doesn’t have to re-enter information about the same artist or location for each object.) Only a few of the portfolios can be downloaded. You can search by artist, art form, period, nationality, style, and city. This feature was not functional as of 2/27/99.

The Web of Art and Culture is a CD-ROM which serves as the basis for a course dealing with the art and culture of the world, an upper division general education course which can be taught both on campus or as part of a virtual university program. The Web of Art and Culture contains 16 units, each consisting of from 60 to 80 high resolution images with related text. Many of the images are side by side comparisons. All are suitable for projection as well as individual study. An accompanying Study Guide help the students focus on major ideas, styles and terminology. Particular attention is paid to the ways in which cultures influence each other, through such things as religion, commerce and conquest. The materials are particularly useful solving the problems associated with teaching a world art course because few instructors feel comfortable teaching a variety of cultures. Using may assign students the modules dealing with areas with which they are not familiar while using class time either to lecture on areas of their expertise and/or in leading discussions on cross-cultural comparisons. The modules are as follows:

1. Introduction: Why human beings make art and an introduction to style. (57 images)
