This resource is a complete course in art appreciation/art history for an art 100 or arthist 101 level. It is most complete in its art history sections including non-Western art. The introductory materials on techniques and media are not as comprehensive, but the art period overviews are very good. There is a complete list of sources, licenses, and attributions located at the end of every module. This resource lends itself to inclusion in a modular fashion and there is a fee-based LMS integration available if desired. Quiz files and lecture slides are also available, although that may also be on a fee-basis.

This is a resource like Merlot that contains a number of possible OER resources for educators. For the visual arts and culture there were 57 listed, however, many were not related to art history or art appreciation. The material which could be accessed here would be individual segments or material on specific objects. There are several sections on non-Western art including the art history in Korea and Africa, most of which were free pdfs produced by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. There are also resources that students could access for projects like a site with the complete letters of Vincent van Gogh. The quality of the resources was above average.
