Snow Day Emergency Sites

The derth of class time brought on by snow days may present unexpected opportunities. In addition to the wonderful videos available in the Art Through Time Series (http://www.learner.org/courses/globalart/), I have placed a link here to a site, smarthistory.com, that has a series of wonderful short discussions on artworks. If we are to find ourselves homebound once again this week, I have included a link to a series on High Renaissance works within the site that would be enormously beneficial for the art history student. I would recommend at this point :

http://smarthistory.org/school-of-athens.html (a discussion of Raphael's School of Athens) and the short segment on St. Peter's reconstruction http://smarthistory.org/saint-peters-basilica.html.

Please feel free to explore many of the other available lectures and discussions as well.
