Description (week of May 6, 2002)
Timeline of Art
History from the New York Metrolpolitan
Museum of Art, provides an overview of history through chronologies,
maps and themes.  Art
works in the museum's collection are highlighted through 1400 and
will be continually updated and revised to the present. Historical
background information, key events and resource links, from within
the MET's collection and on the Internet, are given for the objects
and eras in the timeline. This is a really well done site - go view
it and then go to the MET.
Classroom Integration
- Tap into the timeline during world cultures studies. Have students
create a virtual museum of artifacts of the period being studied.
- Create a Knowledge Hunt to help students review for the Global
Studies Regents exam.
ex. In what French cave were paintings found? What
do we learn about Paleolithic humans from them?
- Have students design an art object typical of the era and culture
they are studying.
