The 'Landscapes in Art website' is an e-learning module developed as research tool for students aged between 11 and 16 and their teachers. It has been designed to sit within a series of modules and is formed by collaborative client group of five different museums and galleries which form the Museum Network.

The Themes section from the Landscapes in Art website

For the main interactive elements of the site, the theme of artistic equipment was adopted. These elements provide links to the subsequent activity based areas of the site.

 

An activity to demonstrate the illusion of perspective

The activities used within the themes section of the site encourage learners to explore and interact with artefacts in a way which would not be possible in reality. Through a playful and investigative approach users become more comfortable with famous works of art making the genre of landscape painting far more accessible and appealing.
