Art historians Beth Harris and Steven Zucker were dissatisfied with large expensive art history textbooks. They found them to be difficult for many students, containing too many images, without being particularly engaging. In addition, they found existing webresources to be woefully uncreative. Their dissapointment led to the creation of a free online art institute known as
smARThistory.
smARThistory features 150-plus podcasts, 220 images, and dozens of direct links to the Louvre and other world-class museums. The lectures address individual artists, specific themes, and historical movements. It is the ultimate cheat sheet for great paintings and art history in general.
