The ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO contains online collections and exhibits along with educational materials.
The website links to exhibition information and their online collections.
The digital collection includes many well-known works of art such as Grant Wood’s American Gothic and A Sunday on La Grande Latte by Georges Seurat. Each work of art includes lots of background information and many pieces contain links to multimedia and educational resources.
The website’s blog spotlights collections and also contains interesting essays and “behind the scenes” stories.
The Educators Resources section contains dozens of artwork resource packets for teachers. Each resource includes background information, discussion questions, activity ideas, a glossary, and links to the digital collection.
Librarians will find the digital collection to be easy to use. Use the educational resources with art and history teachers. Of particular note is the Art + Science resource that can be incorporated into the school’s STEAM program.
