Hi Roy, As Roy knows (I think?), I am 'the' web person at Joslyn Art Museum, receiving technical assistance from the I.T. Department. While severely stretched to breaking point, Joslyn must -- due to the mission of the Museum and the web site -- use the web site for educational purposes. (Our web site was formed in large part in 1994/5, to serve as an educational tool, with money from a grant.) The original web site had several "teacher packets," useful for enhancing art (history), language arts, and social studies curricula. When the web site was redesigned in 1999 (I think), the teacher packets were removed until such time as they could be reformatted into the new design. Finally, with my: * arrival at Joslyn over two years ago; * boss asking me to take over the development of the web site a year ago; and, * having taught myself FrontPage and basic HTML over the past six months . . . Joslyn Art Museum has begun posting reformatted "educator resource packets" on-line! YIPPEE! They may be found at: http://www.joslyn.org/teach/curriculum.htm. Four are currently on-line: 1. Greek Pottery: Visual Records of an Ancient Society 2. Making Art Last: The Care & Conservation of Museum Collections 3. The Maximilian-Bodmer Expedition, 1832-1834 4. Searching for Ancient Egypt: Art, Architecture, and Artifacts from the University of Pennsylvania More will be added (I expect) over the next year, including: A. "Rules & Rebels" (19th Century French art, from the French Academy through the Impressionists) B. "Visualizing Time: Art and Cultural Change" (incorporates themes from the Social Studies Frameworks and Standards) C. "Show me a Story" (explores various types of storytelling in art and literature: myth and legend, portraits/biography, adventure, belief, adventure, documentation, fantasy, and others) D. "Picturing Nebraska" (images of Nebraska that represent various locales, developments, and time periods of Nebraska's history) E. "Art of the 20th Century: the First 50 Years" (Historic/cultural and artistic developments in the first half of the 20th Century, from the realism of Frederic Remington through the Ashcan artists, Pop Art, and Non-objective Abstraction) [Note: While these educator resource packets are available for local teachers to borrow, teachers in different cities, states or countries are welcome to use them, provided that images and information are used appropriately and proper credit is given to Joslyn Art Museum and/or the person(s)/museum(s) who/that retain copyright the artwork/artifacts.] If you have questions or comments -- or find errors of any kind <grin> -- please contact me! ;-) Thank you, sincerely, Jay Heuman, Visitor & Volunteer Services Coordinator Joslyn Art Museum, 2200 Dodge Street, Omaha, NE, 68102 342-3300 (telephone) 342-2376 (fax) www.joslyn.org ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
