MirArtIT de @Borjag18

Esta semana mi buceo en el proceloso océano de Twitter me ha llevado a una página que me ha llamado la atención por su estructura y planteamiento. MirArtIT nos aporta el trabajo de Borja González, profesor del Colegio Mirasur de Madrid. 

A través de este proyecto en forma de un conjunto de recursos educativos de arte en inglés para Educación Primaria podemos recorrer la historia del arte por medio de vídeos desde la prehistoria hasta la actualidad, de forma ordenada y accesible. 

Los contenidos también tocan el diseño desde el punto de vista publicitario, que os pueden resultar útiles incluso para otras etapas educativas.

Igual de interesante es la sección de Artists (artistas) con referencias de interés para el panorama actual del arte y la ilustración en muy diversas  facetas.
