  15. To the Digital Library…

  16. Travel Awards 2011: A Shakespeare Gallery "ARTstor has changed the way I teach Shakespeare. Images of the Globe Theater and panoramic maps of Elizabethan London set the stage for our engagement with the plays. Veronese’s Wedding at Cana [left] puts the cosmopolitan world of sixteenth-century Venice on extravagant display, with an African cup-bearer, turbaned Turks and Moors, court musicians, fantastical wedding costumes, and a stage-like setting.” • Illustrative use of visual images to provide historical context • ARTstor mages create design backdrops for student readings of scenes from Shakespeare • Images great enhance student learning and experience Julia Reinhard Lupton, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of California, Irvine

  17. Travel Awards 2011: Online Teaching and Architectural Solutions to Climate Problems in the Islamic World • Introduction to Islamic Art History Course • Images for class are organized thematically, with a focus on fine and utilitarian objects and buildings • Images show technology, materials, and plans that naturally temper hot and dry climate conditions "ARTstor has helped me create digital bridges between students and subject matter...ARTstor’s varied content has also helped me be more efficient. I can find most of the images I need in one location without additional searches, imports, and scans." Colette Apelian, Fine Art faculty, Berkeley City College
