Art, Artifacts, and Architecture

Students and parents looking for social studies related art, artifacts, and architecture; I have tried to provide some good and interesting links. Many of the links are very informative and contain many examples of multicultural art. I have tried to preview it all;however, time constraints and constantly changing links create some uncertainly on my part about all of these being absolutely safe and clean links. I have tried my best to provide educational and safe links for viewing examples of art throughout history and from around the world, but understand these links are not my work and the nature of art itself can be controversial. Proceed to these links with caution and guidance. Please let me know if you find any links that feature art that is not in good taste, that is offensive, or that should be removed. Thanks and may all your surfing be"G" rated!
