The Art History Resources website is authored by Dr. Christopher L.C.E. Witcombe an art historian and professor at Sweet Briar College in Virginia. His website chronicles and links to resources from the prehistoric era to the present day art movements. There are extensive links to meaningful works of art in every part of the history of art. In my exploration of this impressive collection of artworks and artists I found a few links that were no longer active, this shortcoming is easily overshadowed by the sheer volume of information. It would take an unreasonable amount of time to explore every time period, artist and meaningful work of art, the website is so in depth and detailed.
This site would serve as a primary resource in Art History Unit research project. Each student would be assigned a specific period in art history. The students would then use the Art History Resources website to research their assigned time period, identifying meaningful works and influential artists that characterize the time period in art history.
