Lost wax bronze casting is an ancient and complex process. It can be hard to visualize what goes on inside the molds. //Lost Wax Found Bronze// reveals the major steps in bronze casting by following the creation of wildlife sculptor Gerry Balciar's work, //Little Bear.// High quality video showing Balciar and foundry artisans at work, along with close-up images of each mold and model, documents the process from start to finish. Learning Through Art encourages teachers and teaching artists to design art projects that support student learning across the curriculum. Recent research shows that this combination of activities helps students build important critical-thinking, art, and literacy skills. This website provides two sets of tools for the classroom. The first explores how to facilitate class discussions around works of art, an approach we call "Inquiry with Art." The second is a database of selected Learning Through Art projects, or "Art Explorations," with links to additional related resources. Used individually or together, these resources can support teachers in creating an environment in which students are challenged to think, learn, and communicate. http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/education/school-educator-programs/learning-through-art/looking-at-art/create-your-own-art-investigation || http://www.facebook.com/learningthroughart

 * CREATE YOUR OWN ART INVESTIGATION**

||  ||   || eduweb collaborated with staff at the Brooklyn Museum and its partner museums to develop this web site and kiosk program for a traveling exhibition about the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. This extraordinary artist created paintings and drawings filled with imagery that describes his ideas about life and the world around him. He drew upon a variety of skills and interests that he employed and expressed in complex ways, and he created his own rules about art, demonstrating that there is not one "right" way to express oneself or to approach art. Through interactive explorations of Basquiat's paintings, an interactive biography of his life, a digital painting tool, and online discussion forum, teens can gain insights into Basquiat's life and worldview—while reflecting upon their own.

[|Ancient Egypt at the Brooklyn Museum] presents object-based activities and reference materials on ancient Egypt and the Museum’s rich collection of art from there. ||  ||   ||   || eduweb collaborated with Allentown museum staff on this multi-faceted Web site that explores Renaissance visual arts and innovations and their role in the making of the modern world. Applying research into learning styles and user engagement, we developed a suite of online activities and resources for middle school students and teachers: Explore a timeline of Renaissance art and innovation, commission an artwork as a patron of the arts, design your own innovation, and much more, all enhanced with quirky visuals, irreverent humor, and engaging interactivity that reveal the ways that Renaissance life and culture resemble our own. Bringing an art exhibition to the Web requires more than creating virtual galleries, especially when the exhibition is as provocative as //Picturing Women.// The project team wanted a highly participatory site which would invite viewers to discuss the objects and themes communally, and even to curate their own mini-exhibition online for others to view and discuss. We proposed using juxtapositions as the core element of the site. Anyone can create and publish object juxtapositions online, blurring the traditional line between curator and public. Online forums within each juxtaposition encourage conversations among viewers and the project team. These features, along with other interactives, e-cards, and lesson plans, provide multiple ways for people to deepen and extend their experience with the exhibition. Artists use visual elements and principles like line, color and shape as tools to build works of art. Learn about these concepts in a variety of ways. **Explore the Toolkit** with animations and interactive modules. See **Artists in Action** as they create compositions using the visual elements and principles. Delve into the heavily illustrated **Encyclopedia** to learn more about the elements and principles. What if you were trapped inside a painting and had to solve a mystery to get out? This site developed in-house during eduweb's early days explores a painting from the inside out. Myths are stories that explain why the world is the way it is. Throughout history, artists have been inspired by myths and legends and have given them visual form. Explore myths and legends from around the world with these great works of art and in-depth interpretation and interactive features. (Middle and high school teachers and students) //You witness a crime, and the police ask you to help identify the culprit, using their new PDArtist tool. Learn how your left and right brain work and the best ways to use your brain as an artist. Can you create composite portraits that help identify the culprit?// Use the PDArtist tool to create composite portraits of two (innocuous) crimes—or just play around with this open-ended drawing tool! This interactive was originally developed for Sanford's "A Lifetime of Color" website, which is now defunct, so we are making it available here. ||  ||   ||   || Provided here is a growing collection of 'downloadable' useful files, including simple graphic PowerPoint files for classroom presentations and easy modification, along with some more complex materials for the more experienced computer-using teacher. ||  ||   ||   ||

Material World for Teachers and Pupils at Key Stages 1 and 2
A number of themes look at the different types of materials used to create the objects held in the 5 museum collections. The module will enable pupils to discover the processes artists went through to turn raw materials into priceless works of art and find out where the artists sourced these materials from. Pupils will be able to explore materials and their properties through exciting interactives. || ||   ||   ||

Talking Objects for Teachers and Pupils for Key Stages 3 and 4
Talking Objects allows pupils to reflect on how we perceive the past through the objects that have been left behind. Looking at themes relating to citizenship, such as growing up, conflict, worship and showing off, pupils will gain skills in interpreting what objects and works of art tell us about people in the past and will enable them to apply these skills to examine their world around them and consider their sense of identity. || ||   ||   ||
