Station Eight Gargoyles
"Disney’s animated television series The Gargoyles follows the adventures of stone creatures that have came back to life. This fan page is one of the best of many Web sites devoted to the show. You’ll find video clips, chat rooms, and a "Ask Greg" bulletin board for a chance to talk to the creator of The Gargoyles, Greg Weisman. "

Renaissance: What inspired this age of balance and order?
"Renaissance, French for ‘rebirth,’ perfectly describes the intellectual and economic changes that occurred in Europe from the fourteenth through the sixteenth centuries. During the era known by this name, Europe emerged from the economic stagnation of the Middle Ages and experienced a time of financial growth. Also, and perhaps most importantly, the Renaissance was an age in which artistic, social, scientific, and political thought turned in new directions. This one is my pick of the day. In addition to well-written articles, annotated Web links, and a soothing design, it includes some interactive activities."

New York Carver
Reviewed September 14, 1999 by Joe Chiffriller, a reader from New York, NY who is affiliated with the site. Like Walter Arnold, I’m also a ’medieval’ stone carver, trained at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. My award winning site features virtual tours of the great Gothic cathedrals, photo galleries of stone carvings in both New York and Europe, an online glossary, a shop, free screen saver, newsletter, and more.

National Museum of Science and Technology Leonardo da Vinci
"The Leonardo da Vinci National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan has a great companion website to its massive 15000 piece collection. First stop is Leonardo’s Gallery, with photos of over a hundred modern models. Next is Virtual Leonardo, a three-dimensional exhibit where you can interact with the models, and ""walk"" around the virtual museum. A VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language ) plug-in is required. Other sections include a brief biographical time line, and the story of a bronze horse built in 1999 based on Leonardo’s drawings."

MSN Encarta: Michelangelo
"Encarta is another great site for school reports, also with a built-in citation generator. But these citations lack both the date you viewed the page, and the exact URL of the article. Check with your teacher about the exact bibliographic format you need to use. While you are here, don’t miss the multimedia gallery. It contains twelve annotated artwork images, and a page of Michelangelo Quick Facts. "Michelangelo was a celebrated poet during his lifetime: about 300 of his poems survive.""

Mona Lisa Images for a Modern World
"Is a Mona Lisa teapot simply kitschy trash or is it art? Take a look around, and decide for yourself. As an alternative to reading the entire article, you can skip to the image gallery by following the link to the Table o f Images. The Teacher’s Guide offers dozens of great questions to stimulate discussion. ""Should great works of art be protected from commercial use and ridicule? Why or why not? Does an advertisement ridicule a work of art when that work is used to sell, say, suntan lotion?"""

Michelangelo Buonarroti
"This beautiful site was created by a web design firm as a showcase for their talents, and is my pick-of-the-day. In addition to the three-part biography, extra goodies include a selection of seven Michelangelo images for use as Windows wallpaper, and two word search puzzles. The wallpaper images are found at the bottom of the Gift Store page. Links to the printable puzzles are at the top of the Resources section."
