I would like to display three links related to art. The first, is packed with art lessons for kids and teenagers. Lessons are categorized by age, medium and grade.

The second is a repository of digital images of the collections of The National Gallery of Art. On this website you can search, browse, share, and download images. It facilitates learning, enrichment, enjoyment, and exploration.

The third is a platform where you can find videos about art and artists from more than 50 cultural institutions from around the world.

I would like to share a recent study showing why integrating visual arts into English teaching can be a particularly appropriate and rewarding strategy. 

It is a brief article that offers an overview of how this topic has been investigated as well as the main conclusions that can be derived from the research carried out. 

Although it does not offer didactic suggestions (as the ones provided in this blog) on how to carry out this integration of the visual arts in language teaching, it offers arguments to understand why it is important to contemplate the integration of art in the teaching and learning process of a foreign language.

I'd like to share this section included in Google Arts&Culture webpage: https://artsandculture.google.com/category/artist?hl=es

It is a compendium of all the artists and styles from different periods; by clicking on each artist, you will find not only their history, but also all their works.
