For an impromptu, autumnal art and music appreciation lesson:
- Click over to wikiart.org
- Type "autumn" into the WikiArt search box. The keyword "autumn" should bring up around 630 works of art.
- Click on the first painting. This will enlarge the picture, and create a play-bar across the bottom of the screen.
- Click the "play" arrow on the play-bar, and all 600 or so works of art will begin scrolling slowing across the screen, each listed with their artist, title, and date.
- Open a second window, and search out an autumnal piece of classical music on YouTube, such as Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" - Autumn, or Autumn from "The Seasons" by Joseph Hayden, or September, October, or November from Tchaikovsky's "The Seasons", or something like that.
- Click play on the music, then click back to the WikiArt window, and enjoy the sounds and sights (artistically speaking) of fall, together.

You are SO cool!
That sounds delightfully relaxing.
Brilliant!
Funny, just yesterday I googled autumnal pictures so I could immerse myself in autumn's beauty. It really is my most favourite of seasons. Enjoy your art study!
Even after all these years, you still manage to make school exciting and fun! I learn so much from you! Thanks!
