We all love stick figures, don't we? We are going to draw different stick figures but in a new other level! Just think for a moment on your body parts and think about basic shapes... What shape would be your arm? And your leg? What about your neck?

1. Check the picture below and see how to draw a stick figure using basic shapes (circle, squares, trapezoids, etc...)
2. Take an A4 paper, a pencil and practice draw different stick figures. Fill the entire paper.
3. Take a new A4 paper sheet, a pencil and draw at least 5 different stick figures doing different actions, such as jump, run, fly... be creative!
After you finish your task you can click in the following link (or copy paste into the browser) and draw a custom stickman and watch him come to life in an interactive adventure. Don't forget about drawing shapes instead of lines!
http://www.drawastickman.com/episode1

Here below you can see other ways of drawing stick figures, the possibilities are endless!

IMAGINE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

You will create drawings based on an imaginary journey!

1. "Where are you going on your adventure?" (a distant land, somewhere you've been before? a new place?)

2. "How will you get there?" (by car, plane, train, on foot, via a new mode of transportation?)

3. "Who will you see when you arrive?" (a friend? a family member? a creature? an alien?)

4. "What will you on your adventure?"

Write a paragraph of at least 10 lines explaining your adventure and once you finish your writing take a piece of paper and draw and color or paint your journey! If you want you could use the figures that you just learned as a characters and remember always try your best!

It seems possible that schools might close and teachers will be expected to keep teaching. It appears that most schools have already had meetings to train their teachers on VLE's, Google Classroom and my school is using the App ' SchoolWorks '.

What about exam students?

I'm sure you've already had conversations with your exam students about making sure they take their sketchbook home at the end of the week and making sure they have a comprehensive tick list of tasks. I have discussed with my students how I would be happy for them to email me with photographs of their work so I can keep them progressing. There are of course Apps that could manage this exchange too. This relies on students having materials at home and I'm hoping exam boards would give us the time back when we returned to school as this would certainly disadvantage many students, but who knows what will happen.

The rest of this blog post has a list of tasks to set younger art students (KS3) if your school closes. Of course the ideal senario is that students can carry on with their current project but some of my students are in the middle or clay and printing projects, so I'm going to be setting them one-off tasks if necessary. All of these tasks assume that they have nothing more than internet access and very minimal materials. I've written tasks so you can cut and paste them into an email or as an instruction within a lesson plan.

Utilising the Internet

Gallery websites have a wealth of information on them and it would be great if our students felt comfortable finding their way around them. You could choose a particular website such as The Tate or MOMA and set your students the following task:
Go to The Tate website and spend 5-10 minutes looking at what exhibitions are on. Choose an exhibition that looks interesting to you. Preferably in the back of your sketchbook or on paper, write about the exhibition you have discovered. The title of your piece of writing can be the name of the exhibition. Explain if it features one or more artists. Write what sort of work the artist(s) creates and if the exhibition is about all of the artists life or has a special focus. Explain why you chose this exhibition in particular. Google the artists name to see more of their work which will give you a deeper insight into the artist. What else can you discover? If you have access to a printer at home you can add pictures too.
Colour Theory. Use the Colour Theory Pages on The Arty Teacher. There are two colour theory pages on The Arty Teacher, one for the UK and one also for the USA to allow for the different spellings and words we use. Why not direct your students to these pages and then ask them to make their own crossword puzzle on colour theory here. If you ask them to make a crossword using the information on the colour theory page, you need to tell them to enter their answers and questions and then scroll down and click 'Make Crossword Puzzle'. They can then save or print their crossword using the options in the left-hand menu.

Google Arts & Culture is a brilliant resource but hard to plan to use because it's constantly changing. However, there are some sections that seem to remain constant. Here are some possible tasks but take a good look at what is written in the sections that you plan to use as some of the language is challenging.
Go to the Google Arts & Culture website. Click on 'Explore' and then 'Artists'. Spend 10 minutes exploring the different artists featured there. When you click on an artist you need to scroll down to see examples of their work. Choose an artist that you like the look of. Preferably in the back of your sketchbook or on paper, write about the artist you have chosen. Their name can be the title of your work. Describe what their work is like. (Is it a painting or sculpture or something else) Describe it in details and try to find out what media the artist uses e.g. oil paint or charcoal. Research further on the internet and see what you can find out. Go to the Google Arts & Culture website. Click on 'Explore' and then 'Art Movements'. Spend 10 minutes exploring the different art movements. An art movement is a specific style of art that was used by a group of artists for a period of time. When you click on an art movement you need to scroll down to see examples of artworks made by artists who belong to the art movement. Choose an art movement that you like the look of. Preferably in the back of your sketchbook or on paper, write about the art movement you have chosen. The name of the art movement can be the title of your work. Write a definition of what the movement is about. Describe the features of the work that belong to the movement. Name some artists that belong to the movement. Research further on the internet and see what you can find out.
In the 'Explore' section of Google Arts & Culture there is also a section on 'Mediums' where you could create similar task.

Insect Website

Microsculpture is a mindblowing website. Check it out and then set this simple task.
Go to this website: Microsculpture. Watch the video. Click on the word 'Explore' in the top left-hand corner. Click on an insect. Zoom in to see the amazing detail. Spend 10 minutes exploring the different insects. Preferably in the back of your sketchbook or on paper, draw an insect or close-up of an insect. If you have coloured pencils you can create your drawing in colour.
Photography

The best thing (and possibly the worst thing) about mobile phones is that nearly every child has a camera. Some schools even give their students iPads. Here are a few possible photography tasks, two of which include an optional drawing task.

Close-Ups

(Feel free to use the image above as an example)

1. Use your mobile phone or an iPad to take a selection of close-up photographs around your home or garden. Try getting very close to objects. Think about unusual angles and perspectives. What different viewpoints do you get if you crawl around the room? What great photographs could you take if you look inside objects, or lights or drawers? How can you make every-day objects look different or unusual by taking close-up photographs or cropping photographs? Take at least 30 photographs and then select your best 9. Either use an App such as PicCollage which allows you to put your photographs in a grid, or print them and present them in the back of your sketchbook or on paper.

2. Draw your favourite 3 close-up photographs in the back of your sketchbook.

Photographic Textures

1. Use your mobile phone or an iPad to take a selection of photographs around your home or garden that have texture. Often when you get up close to wood, wicker, bark, carpet, clothing or other objects you can see the texture of their surface. Take at least 30 photographs and then select your 9 best photographs that have an amazing texture. Either use an App such as PicCollage which allows you to put your photographs in a grid, or print them and present them in the back of your sketchbook or on paper.

2. Draw your favourite 3 textural photographs in the back of your sketchbook.

Photographic Diary

Your art lesson today is going to be spread throughout the day as your task is to create a photographic diary. You can use a phone, iPad or camera to do this, but please think carefully about how you will present this. This diary will have no words because, as the saying goes 'A picture speaks a thousand words'. You might want to focus on the environment around you. (Buildings, interiors, landscapes) Or your photographic diary might be all about the people in your day. Be as creative as you like. Either use an App such as PicCollage which allows you to put your photographs in a grid or present them on a page, or print them, cut them out and present them in the back of your sketchbook or on paper.

Drawing

You could ask your students to draw almost anything, but here are some good ideas that you can cut and paste into an email or insert into a lesson plan.
Go to this link: What Can I Draw - 100 Object to Draw and choose 3 items from the list that you can find in your home. Over the next three lessons draw each item. Place the object in front of you and draw from direct observation. Make sure each drawing is detailed and includes a range of tones/values.
Draw the contents of a pencil case is a classic task and provides a wonderful challenge. The inspiring drawing above is by Victoria on Deviant Art.
Open your pencil case and let the contents spill out. Arrange items if necessary so that they look good to draw. Create a realistic observational drawing of what you can see. Make sure you include lots of details and a full range of tones/values.
There are hundreds of drawing tasks on the arty teacher and numerous grid drawing worksheets that you could email to students.

Painting With Coffee

Hopefully some of your students will have access to instant coffee and a spoon!
Look at the artwork of Giulia Bernardelli. She paints pictures with coffee. Mix up some strong instant coffee so that it is really dark. Using a spoon or tooth pic or a variety of tools you can find in the kitchen, paint a picture with coffee. Bernardelli lets the coffee spill onto the page and then sees what it reminds her of. You can take this approach or you can find an image on the internet to work from. If you are struggling to think of what to draw this list will inspire you: What Can I Draw?

Select the level of drawing you wish to begin at. You will need to grasp each stage fully before you can proceed to the next in order to progress through the programme.

Shading: I don't know anything about shading and I would need to start at the very beginning.

D rawing: I know how to draw 3D shapes by sketching out their basic geometric construction.

Understanding light for the artist

Light is one of the most important things to think about when you are an artist. It can be the difference between a good piece of work and a superb one. This video shows you how light behaves and how the eye constructs images from the light it receives, which will help you be able to study things more effectively, draw from observation better and help you understand that we all draw differently, even when we are drawing the same thing.

How To Teach Art When No One Can Go to School

# data[].attributes.subject
How To Teach Art When No One Can Go to School

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Life is unpredictable. As much as we would like to plan and execute, sometimes it just doesn't happen. A spectrum of interruptions can get in the way of students, or you, being able to be present in your classroom. It could be a natural disaster, a wide-spread illness, a family emergency, a school-wide walk-out, or a teacher union strike. It is important to remember that while there may be a lessening of predictability, you can still have a level of calm and control over a situation. As an art teacher, you are used to a bit of planning on the fly anyway, right? You can think creatively on your feet and do it a thousand times a day without blinking an eye. When it comes to a more turbulent event, it is really just the scale, not the practice that changes.

Here are four things to remember when you are an art teacher who can't go to school:

1. Plan ahead.

Sure, it seems obvious, but even making a few days worth of backup plans can breathe relief into your classroom. Take time to prepare a Sub Tub, a few "go-to" lesson plans, or prepare resources in your learning management system for students to access at home. Furthermore, communicate with students what they can expect from you or your lessons when you return to school. Have a plan for the first few days when you are back in your classroom so you can hit the ground running.

2. Listen to the people in charge.

If your doctor, your health department, your union, or the weather channel is telling you not to panic-don't! As a teacher, you want your students to take you seriously and listen to what you have to say. You are the one with a bit more life experience and artmaking expertise; you have earned your reputation. The same goes for the authorities who might decide if you are in your classroom or not. Turn off your phone notifications, and don't let headlines dictate your mood. Take this as an opportunity to let someone else take the reigns.

Learn more:

3. Prioritize your health.

This may seem obvious, but it's still worth saying-your health remains paramount. For example, regular exercise, plenty of sleep, a balanced diet, healthy relationship boundaries, and drinking a lot of water all can help boost your energy and immunity. You have to take care of yourself before you can even think about your students. That goes for any extended absence from the classroom or just a regular day. Furthermore, no matter how much hand sanitizer or tissue you have in your classroom, there will still be germs. The best defense is regular handwashing, but having an elbow bump policy with students and staff instead of the handshake may also be a worthwhile practice.

Learn more:

4. Appreciate the gift of time.

Sure, there are situations where with no silver linings and the unfortunate events have no redemption. But, when it comes to the majority of reasons why a school might be closed, or you cannot be in your classroom, taking the time to appreciate your surroundings or lack thereof is a good idea. Create something for yourself or your students. If appropriate, record a video and post it on your schools' social media pages showing your students what you are doing with your time away.

Art teachers thrive on the impact they make with their students and their creativity. It can be frustrating, discouraging, and downright maddening when we feel like we should or could be in our classrooms. Some things are just out of our control. Hopefully, there are a few things you can implement and plan so you can continue your work both in and out of the art room.
Have you ever had to leave the classroom for an extended period of time? What are your best practices for a long absence from school?

How to Teach Art When No One Can Go to School - The Art of Education University

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Life is unpredictable. As much as we would like to plan and execute, sometimes it just doesn't happen. A spectrum of interruptions can get in the way of students, or you, being able to be present in your classroom. It could be a natural disaster, a wide-spread illness, a family emergency, a school-wide walk-out, or ...

What are they and how to create them to engage students and differentiate learning.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Listen to my interview with Lisa Highfill, Kelly Hilton, and Sarah Landis, authors of The HyperDoc Handbook ( transcript):

In many classrooms, a learning cycle looks something like this: First, we write plans for a series of lessons and a final assessment. We gather materials-handouts, websites, rubrics, video clips. Then we teach the lessons one at a time, to the whole class, at the same pace, distributing materials as needed. Finally, we end with a project, test, or other assessment.

It's a very teacher-directed model, which can limit learning in a number of ways:

Students don't feel much ownership for their own learning. Instead, they depend on the teacher to tell them when and how to learn the material.

Because so much of the teacher's time is spent in direct instruction, there's little opportunity to work one-on-one with students.

Because it's up to the teacher to adjust instruction for students with varied needs and levels of readiness, differentiation becomes one more thing to do.

ENTER THE HYPERDOC

A HyperDoc is a digital document-such as a Google Doc-where all components of a learning cycle have been pulled together into one central hub. Within a single document, students are provided with hyperlinks to all of the resources they need to complete that learning cycle. Here's an example.

In the above HyperDoc, all of the bolded words are linked to outside resources. The right-hand column is set aside for students to take notes and do other kinds of thinking and planning as they work through the lesson.

One of the earliest iterations of the this type of "hub" was the WebQuest, which guided students through a lesson using all online resources. Now that Google tools like Docs and Slides have become so prevalent, teachers are using these tools to create similar lessons, choosing and mixing resources that go well beyond simple web pages. Last year, we looked at something called a playlist, which teacher Tracy Enos used to organize her language arts lessons and differentiate instruction for her students.

Meanwhile, teachers Lisa Highfill, Kelly Hilton, and Sarah Landis were doing similar work in their own classrooms. They coined the term "HyperDoc" to describe their version of this, and in 2016, they published The HyperDoc Handbook to teach others their method for creating these lessons.

The book explains how HyperDocs work, why they have such an impact on instruction, and their model for how teachers can design HyperDocs for high-quality instruction. In the podcast episode above, I interviewed all three about their work. Here I will blend their expertise with some of my own thoughts about this exciting format.

BENEFITS OF HYPERDOCS

Fewer lectures. Teachers have been told for decades that we need to do less lecturing, to step away from being the sage on the stage and become more of a guide on the side. "I feel so bad for teachers when they hear that," Highfill says, "because they're like, 'Well, what am I supposed to do? I need to get information into their heads.'" A HyperDoc offers a solution by taking care of the direct instruction part of a lesson and offering a lot more as well.

More face-to-face interaction. A good HyperDoc runs itself, allowing students to work through it without needing you to guide them through each step. "Although it seems odd that you're putting a student in front of a device," Landis notes, "really what it's doing is freeing you up to move around and have increased face time with the students."

Flexibility. If one part of your lesson isn't working, you can just change it in the HyperDoc and the change takes effect immediately; no need to re-copy all your materials. Similarly, if each student gets their own copy of a HyperDoc, the elements can be changed on each to meet individual students' needs.

Multimodal opportunities. Because it is digital, a HyperDoc allows us to include all kinds of multimedia. "Living in this digital age, we're able to expose kids to different types of media that allows each child to access the learning or the content or the information in a way that's visually or auditorily appealing to them," Landis says. "I might be visual, and I might first study an image, then watch a video, and then I'm finally ready to tackle that article my teacher really wants me to read."

They don't know that maybe their text ... is at a different reading level," says Hilton. "Or they're able to use Privacy. If students' HyperDocs have been customized for them, no one else needs to know. "Read&Write for Google and just put headphones in, and that's just a little agreement between you and that student."

MODELS FOR BUILDING HYPERDOCS

Because HyperDocs are such adaptable tools, teachers structure them in many different ways, and you should experiment until you find a structure that works for you. Here are some options to consider:

Playlist: This model, explained in this article, follows a step-by-step sequence of activities that consist of learning activities as well as check-ins with the teacher and housekeeping tasks like setting up accounts on websites.

Self-Paced Learning: Explored in this post by math teacher Natalie McCutchen, this system lays out a path of lessons for a whole unit, along with links to review materials, pre-tests, and practice questions. Students decide how much practice they need and determine when to take the assessment for each learning goal. If they grasp the material quickly, they can test and move on.

5E Model: This first stage of this model is to Engage student interest. Next, students Explore the topic, Explain what they have learned, and Extend their learning by applying it in new situations. The last stage Evaluates student learning.

HyperDoc Model: The HyperDoc Handbook authors have developed a model that has some components of the 5Es above, but with some additions and adjustments. This template explains all 7 stages. One important component of this model is the first step, Explore. Highfill explains the value of this stage: "Kids are exploring and coming up with ideas and answers about a concept on their own, and it's engaging them from the beginning, instead of passively listening to a teacher explain something." During this time, while students explore, the teacher is actively gathering information: "I listen to my students," Highfill says, "I'm studying them and hearing to what level are they understanding a concept. I have the ability to pull a small group. I can work with my language learners during that time. The whole time I'm doing formative assessment in the classroom, which will then really be my basis for the next part of the lesson."

Agenda: This model, borrowed from the kind of planning done at a typical Montessori school, provides each student with a planner listing out their assignments for the week. Students decide how they want to use their class time each day, but are expected to complete all goals by the end of the week. Although these are traditionally done on paper, they could easily be converted to a HyperDoc format.

OTHER USES FOR HYPERDOCS

Building an extended lesson or unit is one of the most instructionally robust ways to use HyperDocs, but they can also be used for:

substitute teacher plans

video or podcast playlists

learning centers or stations

student-made HyperDocs

parent resources

departmental-, team-or grade-level HyperDocs to gather and share resources among teachers

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Start with a template.
Rather than build your first HyperDoc from scratch, you might find more success by starting with a pre-made template, like the ones available for free on HyperDocs.co. You could also start with a completely finished HyperDoc that someone else created for their own classroom and modify it for your own use.

Build in participation, collaboration, and multimedia.
One risk inherent in HyperDocs is that they could simply become online worksheets, replicating the kind of work students could just as easily do on paper. Take advantage of this medium by including ways for students to participate actively, collaborate with others, and learn from a variety of media: video, interactive posters like ThingLinks, podcasts, online flashcards, and so on.

Offer choice...
HyperDocs are designed to allow students to work at different speeds and navigate learning in a way that works best for them. So when you can, offer choices: Give students options for the kind and quantity of materials they need to learn the material, how they will practice and apply it, and how they will demonstrate their learning.

...but don't "kitchen sink" it.
If you stuff your HyperDoc with every possible resource on a topic ("everything but the kitchen sink"), you'll overwhelm students. Choose resources thoughtfully.

Give students HyperDocs training.
Even if your students have used HyperDocs in other classes, your design probably has its own unique qualities, so take the time to demonstrate how it should be used. And within the HyperDoc itself, provide clear directions for its use.

So if you create a HyperDoc," says Hilton, "in the header or footer, say Collaborate with other teachers.
You do not need to do this alone! Thousands of teachers are sharing and collaborating on the HyperDocs.co site and using the #hyperdocs hashtag on Twitter. And be sure to give credit to the person who created the original: " Created by, and maybe link to your Twitter handle or your email, for yourself, and then if you make a copy of someone's, we encourage you to give that person credit by saying Inspired by or Remixed HyperDoc originally created by, just because we want an inclusive, appreciative sharing community."

Don't feel like you have to create a HyperDoc for every lesson.
"That's not something that any teacher should feel pressured to do," says Landis, "and it's not really realistic. We don't want teachers doing any one thing all the time, because then it becomes redundant for our kids."

How HyperDocs Can Transform Your Teaching

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
HyperDocs make room for more interactive, personalized, and student-directed learning. Let's look at how they work.

# data[].attributes.body
Whether you have 3D printers at your school or not, students can learn to create art in the 3rd dimension. I recommend for beginners to use www.Tinkercad.com

It's free and you can set up classes so you can view their work as well as see what tutorials they've completed.

When I did this, I had my students complete:

1.  "Let's Learn Tinkercad" tutorial series under Learn/Projects.

2. Then they followed the directs on Instructables.com to create a personalized keychain.

3. Next they chose another tutorial to complete under Learn/Projects on Tinkercad.

4. Finally they researched buildings and planned their project.

5. They created their own original building.

6. After their first draft, students gave each other feedback virtually.

7. Then students made revisions before submitting their work.

I also had students document the steps of creating their piece to deter them from using designs that were already created.

In the current situation of the widespread transmission of COVID-19, the hands of educators are tied. Knowing schools could be the first places to shut down, we're waiting to see what's expected of us. Will schools close? What happens if my school closes? Do I need to prepare for virtual learning? What if my students don't have access to the internet or technology? How do I teach when students have limited access to art materials at home?

These are all questions that have probably been on the top of your mind in recent weeks. We don't have the answers to all of these things, but we do know that trying to keep some normalcy in the routines of the art room at home is going to be a challenge.

The approach to this situation is not going to be one-size-fits-all. Every single art teacher has a unique situation and different student body they are trying to reach. Keeping that in mind, you, as the educator, will have to develop ways to plan and facilitate learning in a way that meets your specific situation. To help ease the pain of trying to figure out what to teach to your students at home, we've created a list of ideas to help inspire your planning. As you look at these ideas, keep in mind the circumstances of your students, and make adaptations to serve your students best.
Have all your curriculum resources available from anywhere: FLEX Curriculum
Alternate Paint Ideas

Unfortunately, many students will not have access to paint at home. Consider using this as a time for exploration to introduce students to new types of paint. Challenge students to think about what natural materials they might have, much like the people creating might have used. Try some of these homemade paint options:

Found Object Ideas

Found object artmaking is a medium that has been explored by artists throughout the ages. Let your students' creativity flow by creating with the objects they have around them.

Here is a list of found objects that might help inspire your students. Try one of these found object ideas:

3-D Lesson Ideas

Planning activities and lessons for 3-D classes like ceramics and sculpture might present an extra challenge. It won't be very easy to truly emulate the happenings of a ceramics class without clay at home. Maybe, you'll get lucky, and you can send each student home with a pound of clay, but this won't be the case for everyone. Instead, get creative and keep it simple. Here are some ideas to consider.

Create temporary sculptures with household items. Have your students photograph them, and use them as a drawing inspiration. When you eventually get back to the classroom, students can recreate their sculptures with other materials.

Have your students create stop-motion videos using clay-like material. This can be done with clay, play-doh, or even cookie dough.

Paper Pottery

Here are some additional clay recipes your students can try to make their own homemade clay:
Lessons with Limited Supplies

When it comes to limited supplies, drawing is going to be the best way to have our students find success. They can simply draw with the materials they have, any type of mark-making and paper will do the trick.

Use these drawing prompts to continue your students' drawing skills.

Observational Drawing

Now is the perfect time to refine observational drawing skills. To encourage your students to take note of the world around them, encourage them to participate in the "View From My Day " drawing challenge.
Other Drawing Activities:
Additional Art Challenges to Engage Your Students

Use and adapt these art challenges to fit the needs of your students.

These lists are just a few ideas to help you create lessons or art from home. Just as in times of uncertainty, there are no silver bullets or definitive answers, but there are often options. As art educators, you do have options at your fingertips; at AOEU, we are here to help you find them.
What are your go-to options when schools close? How do your students respond with a variety or lack of options?

While it's hard to beat the experience of seeing a seminal piece of fine art or important historical artifact with your own two eyes, one could easily spend a lifetime traveling the world in search of all of them. Fortunately, the digital age has made it possible-easy, even-to visit some of the world's most famous museums from the comfort of your own home. Here are a dozen of them.

1. THE LOUVRE

The Louvre is not only one of the world's largest art museums, but it's also one of Paris' most iconic historic monuments. The museum offers free online tours of some of its most important and popular exhibits, such as its Egyptian Antiquities and works from Michelangelo. You can take a 360-degree look at the museum, and click around the rare artifacts to get additional information on their histories.

2. SOLOMON R. GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM

While the architecture of the Guggenheim's building itself, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, is quite impressive, you don't have to visit the Big Apple to get an up-close view of some of the priceless pieces of artwork inside. The museum makes some of its collections and exhibits available online for people and students who want to get a taste of what the museum can offer, including works from Franz Marc, Piet Mondrian, Pablo Picasso, and Jeff Koons.

3. NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART

Founded in 1937, National Gallery of Art is free and open to the general public. For those who aren't in Washington D.C., it also provides virtual tours of its gallery and exhibits, including "Van Gogh's Van Goghs: Masterpieces from the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam" and "Sculpture of Angkor and Ancient Cambodia: Millennium of Glory."

4. BRITISH MUSEUM

With a collection that totals more than eight million objects, London's British Museum makes some of its pieces viewable online, including "Kanga: Textiles From Africa" and "Objects From The Roman Cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum." The museum also teamed up with the Google Cultural Institute to offer virtual tours using Google Street View technology.

5. SMITHSONIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

Washington D.C.'s National Museum of Natural History, one of the most visited museums in the world, offers a peek at its wonderful treasures with an online virtual tour of the entire grounds.

6. THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

The Met is home to over two million works of fine art, but you don't have to be in New York City to enjoy them. The museum's website features an online collection and virtual tours of some of its most impressive pieces, including works from Vincent van Gogh, Jackson Pollock, and Giotto di Bondone. In addition, The Met also works with the Google Cultural Institute to make even more artwork (that's not featured in its own online collection) available for view.

7. DALÍ THEATRE-MUSEUM

Located in the town of Figueres in Catalonia, Spain, the Dalí Theatre-Museum is completely dedicated to the artwork of Salvador Dalí. It features many rooms and exhibits surrounding every era of Dalí's life and career, and the artist himself is buried here. The museum offers virtual tours of the grounds and a few exhibits, such as the surreal display of Mae West's Face.

8. NASA

NASA offers free virtual tours of its Space Center in Houston, with a wise-cracking animated robot named "Audima" as your tour guide.

9. VATICAN MUSEUMS

The Vatican Museums feature an extensive collection of important art and classical sculptures curated by the Popes over many centuries. You can take a virtual tour of the museum grounds and iconic exhibits, including Michelangelo's ceiling of The Sistine Chapel.

10. NATIONAL WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM

The mission statement of the National Women's History Museum in Alexandria, Virginia is to educate, inspire, empower, and shape the future "by integrating women's distinctive history and culture in the United States." Part of that mission is delivered through well-curated online exhibits, including exhibits surrounding women in World War II and the rights of women throughout American history.

11. NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE

The National Museum of the United States Air Force is the official museum of the United States Air Force and centered on Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. It houses a wide array of military weapons and aircrafts, including the presidential airplanes of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Richard Nixon. The museum also offers free virtual tours of its entire grounds, such as decommissioned aircrafts from World War II, Vietnam, and the Korean War.
