Philosophy @ the Virtual Art Museum uses works of art to inspire
classroom philosophical discussions for high school students. The
website is made up of six units: Portraits, Landscapes, Expressionism,
Abstract Art, Conceptual Art, and Photography. Every unit contains three
or four related works of art, each accompanied by a series of
thought-provoking questions. For example, the portraits section includes
portraits like John Singer Sargent's Portrait of Madame X, 1884 and Kehinde Wiley's Michael Borges Study,
2008, with questions such as, "What strikes you about this portrait?"
and suggestions for asking students how knowing the gender of the
sitter, the context of the picture, or the sitter's relationship to the
artist might change their view of the portrait. Each unit is available
as a printable .pdf, which should prove especially helpful to teachers.
Under More, visitors can also find links to additional resources, such
as Standford Online Encycolpedia of Philosophy articles and podcasts on
relevant topics. Philosophy @ the Virtual Art Museum was created by Tom
Wartenberg, an emeritus philosophy professor at Mount Holyoke. The site
can be viewed in Spanish, Chinese, and German, as well as English.
