Gustav Klimt

Expo Klimt is a useful but by no means definitive site for viewing Klimt paintings. It does have a number of good features, though.

This link www.expo-klimt.com/1.cfm will take you to the 'museum' section of the site. Note the left hand side of the site (image I've uploaded on your left). This will help you find an image of a Klimt painting according to title, theme, year it was painted or technique.

Click on the down arrow in each box and you will be given a number of options from which to choose. I've chosen 'Portraits of Women'.

If you then click on one of these images, for example 'Goldfish', the image will enlarge and include some details concerning the painting:

There is a video available for $17.99 which could be purchased as a resource:

ART MATTERS wiki

ART MATTERS is a fantastic wiki filled with links and Youtube clips that are relevant to Australian Art studies.

The 'Animation' link alone (left hand side of the Homepage) has 11 YouTube clips that have been well selected for their quality and value to the classroom.


But why TELL you all about the wiki when I can show you?

The rest of this post includes some intriguing images that will hopefully whet your appetite and encourage you to explore 'ART MATTERS'.
