LACMA: Places
"This site includes downloadable resources specifically developed for K-12 instructors.  "Places" encourages visitors to explore eight artworks from the permanent collection related to specific
locations or sites.  The eight works come from different cultures, span many centuries and were made of different materials or for different reasons. Each of the images provides a view of the world shaped by the artist who created it.   Questions posed for the student include:  How might a place inspire an artist?  Why and how do artists represent places?  What do artists tell us about places?  An introductory guide is provided in PDF format."
