| Choose a museum |
I love art, and I love google. Although I am not a formal art teacher, I try to incorporate more serious art projects into my curriculum and study specific artists. So for my grade 5 students have loved the projects, and the lead up to my project always involves having a slideshow of the artiist's work on my smartboard. I also like to make sure I can fit my art projects into different subject areas such as language arts, math and social studies. Needless to say, I was thrilled when I discovered Google's newest project where you can tour museums throughout the world. You can actually virtually walk through the museum and see the paintings on the wall. You can also click on individual paintings and look at high definition photos of a single work of art and zoom in to the point that you can see individual brush strokes. If you have not played with this yet, then check it out.

Just like I love to wander around an art museum and get lost among the paintings and sculptures, I find myself doing the same thing on this site. I will spend so much time wandering around, looking for new things and just checking out the art. I have not had the opportunity to introduce this to my students yet, but it is my goal to have two lessons this year which utilize the Google Art Project.
