Medieval Art: A Resource for Educators

Description

This resource is a distillation of more than 1,200 years of medieval art in the Museum's collection from western Europe and Byzantium, and provides approaches and strategies for teaching art of the Middle Ages. Among the contents are an overview of medieval times and art; discussion of aspects of medieval life, including knighthood, monasticism, pilgrimage, and pleasures and pastimes; information on artists' materials and techniques; lesson plans; and a map and bibliography.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art's teacher-training programs and accompanying materials are made possible, in part, through a generous grant from Mr. and Mrs. Frederick P. Rose.
