Travel Awards 2011: A Shakespeare Gallery
"ARTstor has changed the way I teach Shakespeare.
Images of the Globe Theater and panoramic maps of
Elizabethan London set the stage for our engagement
with the plays. Veronese’s Wedding at Cana [left] puts
the cosmopolitan world of sixteenth-century Venice on
extravagant display, with an African cup-bearer,
turbaned Turks and Moors, court musicians, fantastical
wedding costumes, and a stage-like setting.”
-
Illustrative use of visual images to
provide historical context
-
ARTstor mages create design
backdrops for student readings of
scenes from Shakespeare
-
Images great enhance student
learning and experience

Travel Awards 2011: Online Teaching and Architectural
Solutions to Climate Problems in the Islamic World
-
Introduction to Islamic Art History Course
-
Images for class are organized thematically, with a
focus on fine and utilitarian objects and buildings
-
Images show technology, materials, and plans that
naturally temper hot and dry climate conditions
"ARTstor has helped me
create digital bridges
between students and
subject matter...ARTstor’s
varied content has also
helped me be more
efficient. I can find most
of the images I need in
one location without
additional searches,
imports, and scans."
Colette Apelian, Fine Art faculty, Berkeley City College

Travel Awards 2012: Silk Through the Ages
"The ARTstor image group complemented our
physical collection and also provided unique
imagery documenting the history of the silkworm
industry and examples of silk used across cultures
and throughout history."
-
Images were used for a class on fiber history to
show the weaves of different silk textures and
track the evolution of the fabric over time
-
High resolution of images allow students to
zoom in and see repairs and textures of fabric
Amelia Nelson, Cataloging and Digital Services Librarian, Kansas City Art Institute
