Web Resource Review

The web resource I will be reviewing is called "1 Minute au Musée." 

http://www.musee-orsay.fr/fr/outils-transversaux/galerie-video/1-minute-au-musee.html

These are videos that are short and informative about pieces of art in the Musée d’Orsay.  Since it is impossible to take a day trip to the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, this is the next best thing!  Students can experience different pieces of art and learn about their history all in the classroom. 
 

·         The videos are each only one minute long.

·         The site is put on by the museum, so the information is reliable and accurate.

·         The videos are humorous.

·         Each one features a famous piece of art or a specific artist.

·         Links are provided to learn more about each artist or piece of artwork.

·         The site also provides links to virtual tours of the museum and short video clips about different exhibits.

·         There is a similar site for the Louvre and for other museums in France.

·         I like that the video is funny and fairy easy to comprehend.

·         Students could learn vocabulary needed to comprehend the video. 

·         The entire website is in French

·         It is completely free.

·         There is an entire virtual tour of the museum to further explore.

·         It is a good way to introduce an artist.

·         The characters introduce the art as if they are learning about it for the first time.
