First brainstormed in 2020, H.ART has developed this list of digital resources for art history students at Berkeley. Given the then-unprecedented shift to digital education and interaction, the Undergraduate Association wished to continue providing support for UC Berkeley students.
Given the ever-shifting boundaries of technology and Digital Art History, this list is inherently incomplete and updating it will be an ongoing project for H.ART; we’re therefore inviting you—our community—to contribute to this list here if you know of additional resources that are not already included. The Association hopes that these resources are helpful and fun for you, and that you all continue to be safe and healthy!
Our current list of resources are separated into a few groups, as outlined below.
DIGITAL RESOURCES
Free Resources
These digital resources range from ongoing events and symposia, virtual gallery walk-throughs, uploaded events, recreational art podcasts, guided art practice activities, and many more!
We hope you take the time to explore these various resources and reflect on all they have to offer!
