History of Art 101 ImageSearch
Surfing the Net for text and image
ImageSearch is a simple mechanism intended to provide a
channel for student-initiated review and research of the numerous
images introduced in lectures and sections. Please be advised that the images
downloaded to the History of Art server are limited to those chosen for
presentation as part of History of Art 101 and that outside sources are a
similarly available for a more complete understanding of formal and
art historical issues.
Images are catalogued within a text file
that can be browsed by the search engine for keywords. A search with
the keywords: "female" will produce an index of pages with those
documents in the History of Art 101 directory
that include the term. Clicking on the highlighted URLs
links to the hypertext document that includes the image and
accompanying text. Specificity (eg. "hellenistic" or "venus") is a
good tool in swiftly locating a single desired image such as the Venus de
Milo (on left); however, general keyword selections can also be used to produce image
groups for formal or stylistic comparisons. Click on this image to
