This resource’s strength is its layout as well as its extensive amount of information surrounding key artworks, their origins, and the breakdown of materials/styles. You can choose from a list of artworks to explore that will include interesting information on the artist, their life, how they developed their style, and their artistic perspectives of the world. My favourite feature is that the artwork image has hitboxes where you can click and investigate specific features of the work and how/why the artist composed it this way. Within the home page, there’s a range of activities for students that apply to all the artworks, spanning comfortably across both making and responding strands.  

Through viewing the Australian Curriculum year 7 and 8 bands, this resource strongly aligns with content descriptor (ACAVAM119), where students work towards “Develop[ing] ways to enhance their intentions as artists through exploration of how artists use materials, techniques, technologies and processes” (ACARA, 2010). The resource supports students in investigating several artists and their representational decisions regarding subject matter and contexts, considering implied meanings of artists and interpreting the symbols and codes that translate across cultures, and researching artworks based on ideological views or movements within art practice (ACARA, 2010). The ‘Modern Landscapes’ resource will support students to become more competent across the curriculum’s general capabilities of critical and creative thinking, intercultural understanding, as well as using Information and communication technology.
