National Gallery of Art

Looking for Art resources to provide for your students? Be sure to check out the National Gallery of Art, it provides resources not only for Art Instructors, but also for all teachers to integrate art into their curriculum. It’s loaded with lesson plans, resources and a special section, NGA Kids, an interactive site designed especially for young students.

Also, while at the site make plans to take your students on a virtual field trip on one of the many online tours they offer. Explore certain artists from Calder to Degas, or specific works of art, or a particular theme like Art Nouveau. Your students won’t even have to leave the classroom.
