Women In Art Video - Fantastic Morphing Visuals
I love visiting art museums with the kids. We often explore local museums, and it’s always a favored stop on vacations.
There is no substitute for experiencing artwork under optimal conditions, up close and personal. Sometimes; however, it’s fun to explore art online.
Wander through Philip Scott Johnson’s You Tube Channel, at eggman913, and you’ll find morphing artwork videos, like this Van Gogh video, that blur the line between paintings, while raising questions about the connections between them.
You may find, as I did, that the resulting video is a work of art in itself.
Online Art Resources For Homeschool (and other) Educators:
Ready to let your fingers do the walking through a plethora of online art? Explore these online art resources from a previous article, Don’t Forget The Digital Toys on the Next Field Trip!:
NGA Classroom - From the National Gallery, this amazing resource connects art and curriculum by offering a database that can be searched by Curriculum Subjects, Topics, or Artists. Example: online interactive unit on Art & Ecology.
Explore and Learn - Downloadable publications for educators, online activities, and fun projects from the Metropolitan Museum. These will enrich any study of ancient through modern history. Example: Visit The Tomb of Perneb when studying Ancient Egypt.
The Huntington - Art lesson plans, images, and other resources for learning about art. Some of these art-related lessons can be used at any art museum, while the online materials could be used anywhere. Example: PDF lesson plan on The Poetry of Art.
NGA Kids - Printable family guides to exhibits at the National Gallery and a beautifully vivid Art Zone where you can make interactive art online.

Cool video! (although the second one in the “related videos” is rather family-unfriendly) Thanks for sharing!

Ugh! I see what you mean. Gotta wonder how they choose related videos on You Tube.

Hi Sandra, I’ve always loved that video; good one on women in film and such too…As far as art and teaching, I’ll add the link to Chris Jordan’s amazing artwork which I’ve used to ‘drive a point home’ many a time, whether it’s about over-consumption, natural resources, or human impact on the planet.

If I don’t talk to you until after Thanksgiving, (looks like you’re Fla. bound!) have a good one, and we’ll touch base on “all things boy” in Dec.!!
(finally wrapping AGT this weekend!) whew. Best, Amy
