smARThistory: Interactive Art History Textbook
Created by Beth Harris and Steven Zucker, smARThistory is an interactive alternative to the expensive and bulky art history primer. smARThistory incorporates a multimedia time-line along with other integrated features, including podcasts, to illustrate 2600 years of art and architectural history. Harris and Zucker employ a small sampling of representative works designated by time period to demonstrate the shifting role of art in the everyday evolution of human political and social structures. Though the objects addressed constitute a limited scope, the site offers invaluable resources for use in art historical education.
