So much has changed since then in the way information is presented to us. We have the Web/Internet to use. I started the Applied History of Art and Architecture Educational Foundation as a way to organize the huge collection of images.
These images are scattered about the web in a way that is difficult use. Many people have organized some of them in a variety of ways. This work is meant to be a course in the history of art as well as a place that teachers can send their students to study one bit of art or another.
I. Each unit will be made up of a collection of micro-lessons. Each unit is designed to take you around the world in a certain period of time. We will visit each continent using time as our organizer. For example the first unit will cover Prehistoric Art around the world and the second unit will be Early Villages around the world and on to early Civilizations.

In order to provide a deeper understanding students will asked to make something that relates to the work they have just seen. We can start the student on their own site and add videos of them actually making the art.
On your web page you can write about your ideas of life in the prehistoric world and add to your site as you go along. This can become a history of progress through the world of art, architecture and history.
Create a digital journal of your own. Adults using this site as a resource can create a photo journal or collect postcards of the pieces that strike them as important, thus creating their own book.
The most important thing is to find joy in what you see and make. You are in charge.
