MoMA/Grove Art Resources for Educators
These resources, designed by the Education Department at the Museum of Modern Art (New York), are intended to help educators make modern art accessible and engaging to younger audiences. Each unit includes objectives, discussion topics, activities and projects, images, and suggested readings in Grove Art.

Italian Renaissance Learning Resources
The Italian Renaissance Learning Resources website is freely available and features eight units, each of which explores a different theme in Italian Renaissance art. Lavish illustrations and resources for educators complement each unit. This resource is the result of a collaboration between Grove Art Online and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC, and it was made possible by the generous support of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.
