HIT: Fine Arts Resources

[Kathy Lowe <lowe@MASSED.NET>]

I received as many requests for a HIT as I did responses to my request
for suggestions for a core collection of Fine Arts resources for a high
school library.  Here are the responses I received:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
From Sue St. Ann
Art:    A CD entitled Great Artists is a hit with students. Students
also like small books on individual artists and techniques. A Visual
Arts ency. set has contained most information needed for Art 1.
Music:  A basic collection of composers's biographies; tapes, CD's of
their most popular music; the most popular songs in musicals
and operas, etc. for fine arts survey classes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
From Dale Copps:
Art:

Dance
http://www.wcsu.k12.vt.us/~wardsboro/scd.htm#Dance

Theater
http://www.wcsu.k12.vt.us/~wardsboro/scl.htm#Theater

Note: the URL on this site will change soon. Keep posted on LM_NET for
the new one.

From Joanne Ladewig:
I ordered a lot of items from the SAX catalog - books, videos, cd's,
computer programs, charts, etc.

Also, PQLS (Publisher's Quality Library Service) often has recent books
at discounted prices (on all subjects, not just the arts), and nearly
all are "the best" titles so you don't have to worry much about getting
"junk" or tracking down the reviews. Request the catalog for your age
level.

Grolier has a set of art reference books with each volume being a
different time frame and region. I don't recall the series title but the
bindings are a blue color.

Thanks Sue, Dale and Joanne for your suggestions!
