Art Images for College Teaching
"The express purpose of this database, which offers 1,100 images personally
photographed on location by the site's creator, is to freely disseminate
images of important art and architecture. The collection is organized into
five categories: Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance & Baroque, 18th - 20th
Century, and Non-Western, but lacks a search for specific images. Each
photograph is concisely described and accompanied by cross references to
discussions in one or more of 20 widely used art history survey textbooks.
Emphasizing that the site is a "Free Use Educational Resource," Kohl
encourages any use that is both educational and non-commercial, which will
help college, community college, and high school AP faculty without the
resources to license expensive collections.
