Eyes On Art
http://www.kn.att.com/wired/art2/

A CONTENT:
Although this site presents only 7 lesson plans, each are extremely complete, unique, and fully worth using.

A AESTHETICS:
This site is beautiful, well designed, and handles its large amount of gifs well.

A ORGANIZATION:
Each of the 7 lesson plans are linked to from the main page, making the site easy to navigate.

A REVIEW:
This is an impressive site. With seven visual art/web-based lesson plans and an impressive teachers guide, this is a perfect site for K-12 art teachers to share with their students. The instructional strategies were designed using references from California State Visual and Performing Arts Framework and help students learn critical and cognitive thinking skills. Each lesson plan is simple and complete, offering all the digital imagery needed to complete each one. This is a fine example of how to formally combine the massive resources on the internet into the K12 classroom.
