Up Close and Personal

Have you ever wanted to get so close to a painting that you can see the cracks in the paint? Then Google Art Project is where you want to be.
Google Art Project is an amazing website to visit, especially if you want to see works of art in a way that you would never be able to do in person. This website allows you to zoom in so close a piece of artwork that you can actually see brush strokes and layers paint that the artist used when creating the piece of art. 
 Google Art project is also a cool way to introduce famous works of art to a younger audience, before venturing out to the art museum. It allows the student to be able to see some of the art that they will not be able to get close to due to the paintings being roped off. They are also able to look at artifacts that have been unearthed, and see sculptures up close. You can also use the website to introduce different styles of paintings, the different media used and how the type of media used can affect the way a painting may come out. Such as oil on canvas or Acrylic on wood. I think that can be an amazing teaching tool for people of all ages. Check out the link below and explore the wonderful world of art through a new perspective.
