Art galleries on the internet

Check out this link, where PBS "Ideas" channel examines the traditional gallery vs. internet galleries that use internet resources to make groundbreaking art. It's 2.5 minutes.

Hey everyone! My name is Kes, and theses are a couple pieces of my work done over the past couple of years. The first is abstract, done in acrylic paint. It's one of my personal favorites because to me, it's very serene. The second is a still life of an orange done in chalk pastel, a school assaignment. Lastly, my own pencil drawing of an eye. Hope you like them, and I can't wait to meet you all!

06/15 - Maggie

Hello I am Maggie Adair and these are my two observational drawings. I am currently with my grandmother and these are two things that remind me of her. Her favorite tea is Mint and this is her favorite cane out of the many that she has bought all over the world.

Cup of Tea

I am also working with photography with nature and capturing many different movements within plants or animals. I will upload photos to the blog once I have gotten the photos! :)

This is one of the proposal of my thematic study next year:

Influenced by David Hockney, I want to try to do a photograph project like he did.

Hints in using Artstor

There are many ways to find the images you’re looking for in the ARTstor Digital Library; a simple keyword search will often lead you to what you’re looking for, and an advanced search will help narrow the results. Wildcards can help when you don’t remember a precise name or title, or, conversely, when you are looking for something very specific. There are only four to remember:

The underscore (_) can represent any one character. For example, m_netwill retrieve monet, manet, etc.
The asterisk (*) can represent zero, one, or several characters. ren* will retrieve ren, rene, renoir, renaissance, etc.
The dollar sign ($) will expand the search to include terms that stem from a given root. $farm will retrieve farm, farmer, farming, farmyard, etc.
To search for an exact phrase, put it in quotes (“…”). When searching for the painting Le Moulin de la Galette by Renoir, enter “le moulin de la galette”. Also, unless your search phrase is enclosed in quotation marks, the order of terms will not affect the search, so searching for albrecht durer gives you the same results as searching for durer albrecht.
