2022-2023 Online Encyclopedia Projects
Online Encyclopedia American Art References Project
page four
Future TFAO project ideas
1. Publication of references to Resource Library articles (excluding essays) by named authors. This will be a sister project to the first Online Encyclopedia American Art References Project.
2. Publication by The Art Story of references to Resource Library artist biographies by named authors. The Art Story says: "Though our content is written and edited by art historians with Doctorate degrees, our primary audience is the general public. With our work, we hope to connect a much broader audience beyond the academy to the richness and depth of art history. While we summarize and analyze movements and artists, we do not use scholarly citations so as to simplify the reading experience, although all of our essays are checked for facts and content. For those looking for more academic sources, each of our pages has a "Further Resources" section to point the reader to both popular and more traditionally academic essays, articles, videos, and books." Resource Library provides a plethora of references to online articles, essays, videos and audio - plus references to thousands of paper-printed books and articles - concerning over 200 topics and over 3,000 deceased artists. It's over 1,300 published essays are penned by noted experts in their fields. We believe that the public will be well served by The Art Story publishing these references.
3. TFAO Virtual Gallery of Early California Impressionist Art (new framed start page). This gallery would exist in the cloud, a collection of images gathered from Wikimedia Commons. Perhaps some day a terrestrial one will be built. Cloud room one, etc. each including five initial images so there is room to add more images for newly discovered artists. Alphabetical order. List all rooms on each page.
4. Video references for topics. Google video search for topic "Hudson River School" retrieved many videos, some from museums. After the list of references to other online texts for major topics, create a general statement about online videos such as "A December, 2022 Google search using the phrase "Hudson River School" (and then by counting the videos found in the videos part of the search results) yielded "x" (number) related videos." If then appropriate, add the sentence "Some of the videos were created by notable sources such as private or public museums, universities or television networks." While doing this research edit dry rot links but keep the references in gray color.
