I love when families send me links that they think I will enjoy and I finally had a chance to explore this one!
Amazing! Google surprised me with another great resource for my family and all those that will participate in Harmony Fine Arts in the future.
The Art Project on Google is going to greatly enhance the way we teach art to our children.
The opportunities are wide open now for those of us who wish to get a taste of what the great art museums hold right from the comfort of our own homes. Not all of us have the opportunity to travel to the great art museums of the world but now we can "visit" in a virtual way with our children.
We can gather our paintings for picture study in our own "galleries".
We can zoom in on actual paintings to see the brushstrokes and details.
We can visit museums in Google "street view" and get a mental image of what it would be like to visit museums like the Van Gogh Museum. Try this out with your children and see if they can navigate the museum and find a painting to view. I had such a great time using this tool.
I can see how this fantastic resource is going to change how Harmony Fine Arts works for all of you to experience as part of future art plans. Can you hardly wait to see how this will inspire our children?
For those families that are using my Harmony Fine Arts Mini-Unit for Vermeer and Haydn, here is a link to one of the paintings featured: The Milkmaid.
Take some time and explore the features of the Google Art Project and I think you will find it is going to enhance your art appreciation study greatly. Here is a link to the Art Project YouTube channel that you may find helpful.

I discovered this site not long ago, it is amazing!
Great post.
Thank you so much for posting this! One disadvantage to where we live (there are advantages) is our distance from museums of any size. I love that they can see the details so well! Wow.
