As an art teacher with interests in technology, I find that this is a good fusion of both curricular areas. It&nbsp;puts a modern spin on things when incorporated into lessons and is a new vehicle through which teachers can engage their students, particularly when learning about famous artists, works of art, and art history. With this app, students have access to an extensive database of art images, historical information, and well-known as well as current, trending artists and their work. There are filter options that allow users to search up specific types of art, such as by geographical location, colour, artist, art style, and medium. Note that this app works best with students grades 6-12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An especially exciting feature of this app is that one can also explore 360-degree virtual tours of museums, art exhibits, and historical sites. These include current and seasonal global exhibitions. This has practical use for those studying history and geography also&nbsp;and is a fantastic example of VR technology being utilized for educational purposes. Students can explore&nbsp;independently and conduct research to an extensive degree using this digital platform. I highly recommend this app to those who teach art or are curious or interested in art personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bonus: There is also a fun feature on this app that allows for the user to take a selfie photo which then matches your face up to a visually similar artwork doppelganger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The app can be found in the app store, but here is the website link:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/artsandculture.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/artsandculture.google.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally posted By stephanie kwok on January 14, 2019 An app that I\u2019d like to share is the \u2018Google Arts and Culture\u2019 app for mobile&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/2020\/05\/19\/google-arts-and-culture-mobile-app\/\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Google Arts and Culture Mobile App<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":71838,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mobiletechnologies","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/71838"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1057"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1057\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1064,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1057\/revisions\/1064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec523\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
